It's beginning to feel like...

Christmas! And I love it. This last weekend was perfect for getting in the holiday spirit. The weather has been suspiciously cooperative, so on Saturday Colleen and I went downtown to take advantage of it and we did some Christmas shopping. I got almost everything I need, which was both fun, painful, and quite a relief. I then went over to a friends house to watch a rugby game (I know, shocking) and some disney movies. Not only did Ireland win the match, but Miko was more charming than ever. The next day I caught up on some important reading (Twilight counts as important, right?) and then went to an advent service at the Church of Ireland. It was beautiful. The church is an old medieval church, and it was all lit up with candles. Everyone was wrapped up in scarves and jackets, even in the church, and holding their own individual candle. And the choir was unbelievable! It was like a scene out of a Christmas movie, and I now feel like it is officially Christmas time.
