Autumn and Winter create boyfriend weather

Why does it feel like everywhere I look there is a new 'couple' springing up? Does the cold weather turn on people's relationship-radar so that they must find a boy/girlfriend by the end of the year? It just seems like there are many people 'in-love' right now....but that also could be heightened by the fact that love is so desperately looked for everywhere and needed by everyone, or it could just be that love is being talked/sung about on the radio in almost every song!

"Some turkey and some mistletoe, can help to make the season bright..."
"I have one wish on this Christmas Eve, I wish I were with you..."
"When we've finally kissed goodnight, how I'll hate going out in the storm, but if you really hold me tight, all the way home I'll be warm!"
"It's that time of year, when the world falls in love, every song you hear, seems to say..."

Thank goodness there are actual Christ-centered Christmas songs that can keep me in check! It's nice to think about Jesus' love for me instead of my lack of boyfriend-ness. Yes, it does creep up on me at times, especially if I'm in the car, after a long day at work, and I've got lovey-dovey music blaring in my ear on my way home!! ;) Except for 'Here comes Santa Claus', 'Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer', 'Grandma got runover by a reindeer', 'Dominick the Christmas donkey', and any variations of those, I love Christmas music! Especially the message that is told through them! This is the only time you will hear so many radio stations praising Jesus Christ! :) It's wonderful!

"Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O Night devine, O Night when Christ was born!"
"Joy the world, the Lord is come, Let earth receive her King!"
"Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel born is the King of Israel!"
"Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel, shall come to thee O Israel!"
"God inparts to human hearts, the blessings of His hand, O here they hear His calling, but in this world of sin, the weaks souls will receive Him still, the near Christ enters in"

Christmas Vacation turning into HLE work-ation

Well today would be my forth day of work in a row...five more to go and I get a day off. That would be NINE days of working in a row....is there a law against that? Not many people do that, except for work-a-holics! And thankfully, I'm not one of those...I just am a part-time/seasonal worker who has to work nine days in a row because her boss said so and decided to exploit the fact that I'm available. It's not like I have anything else to do...right! ha! whatever!

The only nice thing is that I have a paycheck that will be coming to me next week . But knowing that my Christmas break was spent mostly at the Holy Land Experience and not with my family is really annoying. Don't get me wrong, I love the people I work with (well most--some of them are just plain strange), but I don't really want to spend Christmas with them!

So off I go BACK to the HLE for another 7 hour day...walking around doing nothing. All of this just for money....it makes you do the strangest things....
