I skipped the parade today, and as a result, I feel incredibly better. My sore throat is nonexistent and I don't feel as sore as I did earlier today. My mom picked me up and took me to LA where I visited my great aunt, which really isn't that big of a deal considering she lives across the street from me. But the reason why I brought her up was because around Christmas time, my street starts to look like an electrical company threw up all over it. It's not a bad thing. By the end of the month, the eight houses that are occupied by my relatives light up the end of the street.it's all really lovely.. My great aunts house is one of the most decorated, with little angels adorning every tabletop and garlands and ribbons hugging the walls and furniture. There was Christmas music playing from her speakers, and it reminded me of when I used to live with her and I helped decorate her house for Christmas. That was like, four years ago? Damn.. Anyway, going there really brought me into the whole Christmas spirit thing..even if I really don't like Christmas songs. I'm not a big fan of the whole red and green garb that everyone seems to love, or the Christmas music..but I love that everyone is always so happy this time of the year. Like there's something to celebrate..
Anyway, I've been listening to this album a lot lately, and it's quickly becoming my favorite one from them. It might be the fascinating theological references or just purely because it's good music.
So I'm going to nap and then go to the valley. Maybe I'll ad on to this to say what happened later today. I hope everyone had a wonderful day.
