My Christmas was truly lovely. I spent it with my mom, dad, brother, and sister, and it was low-key and amazing and just what I needed it to be. The Christmas Eve service at my home church, which can sometimes give me anxiety, was really beautiful. We ate a lot of great food, but the best meal of all was the communion. I love that the cross was the center of our Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, we exchanged presents and watched Star Wars VI; on Christmas Day, we went to see Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. We thought it would be crazy-busy, but there were only three families in our theatre! It. was. amazing. Everything I wanted it to be. The acting was incredible, the story was excellent, and the nostalgia was intense.

(Belated) Merry Christmas, friends!
