The End of Another Semster...Christmas Time!

It feels like it was yesterday when I was purchasing my text books and was getting ready for my first week of classes for the Fall 2008 semester. Now it is that time again for some more stressful moments and fewer hours of sleep as one prepares for the final exams. Once those are over, then one can go to the comfort of their homes, relax, catch up on some sleep, spend time with the family, and regenerate to get ready for another semester.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year. It is indeed a great time to go home, spend time with my family and catch up on some things. I am looking forward to returning home, but I am not looking forward to the long, 10 - hour drive to get there. I am also looking forward to the warmer weather there in Visalia, California compared to here in Provo, Utah. The high's are usually in the 50s and then gets in the 30s as the overnight low.
Christmas is a great time to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that He lives and that through Him, we can all return to live with our Heavenly Father. This is what the true meaning of Christmas is all about.
