Well, the time of year has come again for lots of shopping, snow, Christmas carols, red and green decorations and hot coccoa. I think it's fair to say that most people love this time of year and (especially the kids) love to get up early on Christmas morning and see what Santa Clause has left under the tree for them. This year however, the gift I am most excited for is one that cannot be placed under a tree or in a stocking.
This year, what I want most for Christmas, what I absolutely cannot wait for, the highlight of it all will be (Drum roll please) talking to my big brother and best pal!! It's been somewhere around 4 months (Okay, yes I know it's creepy that I know the actual number of months) since I have actually talked to my brother. Weekly emails that are getting quite religious and personal emails that come every other week and are only two sentences long just aren't cutting it for me. So, on Christmas when the phone rings and "LDS Missions" fills the caller ID I can guarentee that that will be the thing which will make my entire holiday season. No our conversation won't get to be very long and it will most likely be filled with tears (on my end) but it will most certainly be the best gift.
