I know it seems still kind of early to be thinking about Christmas already, but It's only a month away. Yesterday my family and I spent the whole afternoon and night putting up holiday decorations. My sisters and I decorated our fake Christmas tree, while my dad put up the colorful Christmas lights outside. After the tree was finished it looked so shiny and sparkly it hurt to look at it. Up above is a picture of our almost done Christmas tree. We had put as many ornaments and decorations as it could fit. From traditional round silver ornaments to crazy school project ornaments. Around the house we also put up many holiday signs and even stockings. When we were finished our house was transformed into a holiday wonderland. It was a fun evening and after all the decorating we sat down to eat some fresh ordered pizza. It was delicious.
Since the first day of summer the days have been getting shorter, at least in the sun rising and setting. I haven't really noticed it that much until about a week ago when it was daylight savings. Now around 4 o'clock the sun is already starting to set. It seems so weird. Like right now it is about 5 o'clock pm and it is already pitch black outside. Even though people say the days are getting shorter, to me it seems like the days are getting longer and longer since the sun rises late and sets early. This makes me feel like I wake up really early and go to bed extra late, making my day seem so much longer, but in reality it's really not. The days will keep getting shorter until the first day of winter and then they will start to get longer until the first day of summer and then the days will get shorter all over again. This also reminds me of how fast time flies. It's already November and first trimester is going to be over in only a couple days. Soon we're going to have winter break and then it'll be 2013(If the world doesn't end). Soon we will also be in high school and learning how to drive and have a job. As always November and daylight savings will be coming again soon too and the days will get shorter all over again.
I don't know if anybody knows what these candies are, but they are really good. On Halloween I went trick-o-treating with some of my friends and we went to this one house and they gave us a handful of this candy. It came in all different flavors like apple, lemon, orange, watermelon, and grape. So, basically this candy is like a hard outside like a lollipop and then on the inside there's this powder that fizzes in your mouth. On Halloween I also got tons of other candies that I can't stop eating. Anyways this Zotz candy is really good. If anyone knows where to find them tell me.
