Reindeer are better than people.

Please enjoy just a few of my Christmas ramblings:

God gave me Goat Santa so I would avoid Santa at Christmas time and instead think about Christ. 
Goat Santa is from a show called "Grim" which I shouldn't have watched because it freaked me out and gave me an irrational fear of Santa Claus. I may have boycotted Santa a little this year, and without him I finally realize what a huge symbol of Christmas he is. That is something I think is dumb. I think Christ should be the biggest symbol of Christmas out there, not Santa, and certainly not Goat Santa.

I like to sing Frozen songs and plan on building snowmen I will never probably never build. But if I did build a snowman he would have a drink in his hand, and his snow up against the burning sand, probably getting gorgeously tan in sumer! Wait what? Did I just quote Frozen again?

My favorite Sherlock Holmes is The Case of the Blue Carbuncle. It makes me think of Christmas eve nights making puzzles and cooking the Christmas breakfast for the next day. It hardly even has anything in it about Christmas, but I will forever think fondly of memories of Christmas. "My name is Sherlock Holmes, and it is my business to know things that other people don't."

I hope you enjoy Christmas as I do. I hope you don't let Goat Santa get to you and distract you from the true meaning. I also hope that you don't let petty things distract you from important things like singing Frozen songs and Christmas traditions, Satan tries hard to stop family from making good memories. I don't think that there has been any Christmas where he didn't try something. I hope you have the strength to ignore it. Merry Christmas.

15 though

I bet you're getting sick of birthday posts, but too bad. 
This girl is Hannah Jones and she officially wins at being the greatest. 
No one else can I turn to when I have to get something off my chest.
I can talk to her about anything, we will be grandma's on a porch knitting one day. 
Happy Birthday.

Who says we have to let it go?

A few secrets I think should be made know:

The first day of high school, you're going to step into the school and think to yourself, "This is nothing like High School Musical."

High School does not last for your entire life. It may seem that way, but don't worry, it's actually only three years. What?

If you do your hair in the morning, I promise you're day will be better. I don't know why it works, it doesn't even need to look good, it will just make it better. 

Sometimes, the books that you need to read for school are actually really good books with interesting morals, so don't let the analyzing ruin your perspective. 

The teacher that work at the school aren't actually prison wardens or devil worshipers, they're nice people who want you to learn if you just give them a chance. 

Even if you feel a little overwhelmed by high school and all that it implies, there should always, always be time in your life for breakfast. Just saying. 

Sleep is priceless and I promise you it's ok to choose sleeping over a social activity. Your friends will understand, and if they don't, then their priorities are completely screwed up and you probably don't mean that much to them anyway.

Classical music is not actually a sin and if you stopped to give it a chance by listening to it while you do your homework, you might find it's actually very nice. 

It's not worth it to settle for a grade. No teacher is going to beat you for expecting more out of yourself. I promise that if you ask, you might just find a way to make things better. 

If important things in your life like school, or religious beliefs are falling by the wayside in your schedule then maybe something you're doing is really not that important and should be dropped out of your life. 

You don't have to be anyone but yourself. You don't have to follow any rules about who you are. You don't have to be your mother, or your father, or your sister. You don't have to be a certain type of person. It's never to late to change who you are if you're not who you want to be. 

Anyway, I hope you didn't mind that this post didn't have any pictures and also is very rambled and really has no meaning. I was told to "write while the fire was in me" and apparently watching High School Musical lights a fire.

Swag makes me gag


I decided that "swag" is a drug, that everyone is secretly taking. I am not interested in drugs, I keep the word of wisdom. Back off swaggies. The word "swag" actually has three informal definitions:
A) Money or goods taken by a thief or burglar.
B) Products given away for free, typically for promotional purposes.
C) Marijuana. Typically of a low grade. 
 Did you know that in the United States, 97 people die a year from "swag"? Ok, so I just made that up, but at least 97 swaggies are probably murdered a year by the folks who find them obnoxious. Swag is deadly. I just want to let everyone in on a little secret now, "swag" is not a synonym with "cool". It is a synonym with "cheap marijuana". In case you are suffering a bad case of "swagvocabitis" I have a few suggestions for you on some new words to describe yourself that are actual synonyms with "cool":
-Lover of family
-Subject of a black and white photo
-Owner of a nice camera
-Online shopper
-Watcher of "My Cat From Hell"
-Late sleeper
-Kind to others
-Close to the spirit
-Player of Nancy Drew
-Reader of good books
-Open minded
-Hard worker
-Lover of the light
-Shakespearean enthusiast 
-Kindred spirit
Well, now that your vocabulary consists of more words than "swag" and "yolo", I hope you will start to change the world, one synonym at a time. Now go out, take chances, make mistakes and (most importantly) be cool and not swaggy.
