So anyone who's known me for at least a year knows that I start getting excited about Christmas WAY too early. And now is about that time :] It's that time of the year when things start to get a little cooler and everyone starts to take out their warmer jackets and are forced to be around each other. I love Christmas. It's my favorite part of the year. I love everything about Christmas. :] I love celebrating, decorating, and looking at decorations. I love Christmas foods especially candy canes. I love Christmas clothes. And I love how nearly everyone is with their family or the people they love on this day or want to be even if they can't. I love Christmas parties and I love how almost everything is closed and there are Christmas dinners and people share their love. I love it when you get a present that's so right for you from someone who knows you that well or when you find something perfect for someone and are so thrilled cause you know it will make them happy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas. It's amazing. I honestly don't care what all the cynics say about Christmas. It's one of my favorite times of the year. :] Anyways I've broken out the old Sufjan Stevens Christmas albums and Relient K. I've also found a new holiday album that I love, Don Peris, Brighter Visions Beam Afar. Most of the Christmas music I listen to is Folk. :p I guess that's just cause I'm weird, but I love it. :D :D
Anyways I know it's not even October yet, but there's some Hannah Fischerness for ya! :]
So I have something a little deeper to talk about now. Tonight in youth group we talked about some stuff in second Peter regarding husbands and wives. Some of it also had to do with God turning away from evil and favoring righteousness. Anyways one of the verses was about how true beauty shouldn't come from outward adornment. I believe this as true, what bothers me is that a few eyes looked my way and a few people probably coughed my name a little in their own heads when they heard this verse. I know every body's not going to read my blog, but I'd like to say that I dress the way I do as a form of self-expression. It bothers me that people assume that if you wear make-up it's because you're insecure about the way you look and you think make-up will make you pretty. I know some people think I'm dumb for wearing make-up sometimes, but I do it to express myself outwardly. To me make-up, design, and style are all forms of art. Getting "dressed up" as people say, to me is like drawing something or painting a picture and I love doing it. So I'll continue to do it. Not to say that I can't go without dressing up or wearing make-up cause I do that all the time and it doesn't bother me. But I hate it when people assume that I wear make-up or dress differently because I'm insecure, and don't get me wrong, I'm very insecure, but not about that. I could care less. If I wanted people to think I was pretty or whatever I wouldn't do my make-up the way I do or dress the way I do at all. If people haven't noticed, I don't dress "pretty" I dress different. I do what I want concerning that and I'm not worried about my appearance, unless it's professional, like I'm applying for a job or something. Anyways I wanted to say that here cause I felt like I needed to defend myself a little. You don't know what you think you know until you really know it. So don't assume why I am the way I am or why I do the things I do if you don't really know.
On a lighter note. I came up with a new blog name that I love and redid my profile. I like it, but I'll probably be changing my layout shortly to go along with my Christmas spirit :] lol

Yay Christmas! I like Christmas a lot too. Especially cranking up fires and when it snows, that's awesome too!
Don't worry about being obsessive! I'm crazy obsessive and tend to enjoy talking to people who are also. Normally mine is about more nerdy stuff, but hey, who cares. :D
I only got part of the conversation at Youth Group since I was helping teach the K-3rd graders (which I LOVE by the way). I thought there were a ton of good points made. I really think society places too much emphasis on how people dress. If you wanna dress up, go for it, if not, who cares. Sometimes it does relate to how a person feels about themselves, but it's probably more common that they don't. I personally don't really care. Like I want to look decent, but there are other things that are more important to me (but, the occasional dressing up formal can be pretty fun).
Anyway, have a good day!
