My Christmas Consisted Of Family && Music Releases
First of all, thank you to all of my viewers! It's pretty cool realizing that people actually DO read your blogs and that I'm not just sitting here wasting my life. I hope you all had a very wonderful Christmas eve and day with yourself or your Family/loved ones! My Christmas was very.. eventful.
If you know anything about my family, you know there is bound to be a fight on any major holiday and Christmas is no exception! So, like always, it started out with a fight about being late.. psh. We were totally fashionably late :) But once the festivities began it was a great holiday! My brother and his fiancee came down from Virginia to visit which was probably the highlight of my week. I received great gifts from my sister and her husband, but to be honest, I would have been content with a hug and some more time together. Now that my brother has moved (and I've taken it hard) I really begin to appreciate family like I never have before. I have no younger siblings, so you get the aftermath feeling of being alone. It's really not great.
Also, with the loss of a dear friend, Evan Michael Wolfe, over the summer all holidays are harder. I was sitting on the couch this morning opening gifts, thinking about how my brother wasn't there. I thought about how Evan's family must feel, and for a moment I was ridiculous enough to think that I understood, but I never could, possibly never will... My prayers go out to them.
DO WE HAVE ANY HUNGER GAME FANS?
Following contains spoilers.
Taylor Swift rocked the newly released single Safe & Sound ft. The Civil Wars -Now available on ITunes ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/safe-sound-from-the-hunger/id490735511 ) and I'm not even that great of a Taylor Swift fan! The music is apparently going to be some form of support for a certain scene with a certain character named Rue from district 11. Alright, I've already warned you but I'll do it one last time SPOILER ALERT: Rue's death : SPOILER ALERT (that shouldn't catch attention should it?) Anyway, it's a super beautiful emotional tear jerking song that will crush you if you love Rue as much as I do!
Not only is it just a beautiful song for one of the most popular YA books of 2010-2011 (said to be the next Twilight), it's one of those songs you have to sink your teeth into! The lyrics and meaning behind the songs have you considering what you would do in those moments, how you would react, and it stirs many emotions. Most comments on Youtube for the hit have stated that the user cried over it.
"Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound"

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas & spend time with the people you love. Long live Hunger Games!
