let it snow

i never thought i'd be setting foot in snow again, especially three weeks before my next knee surgery, but i'm off to yellowstone tomorrow morning with my family. although i tried hard to convince my dad to go to japan (that would have been awesome, my dad went to HS & college in japan, my oldest bro spent several years in japan, and a lot of my dad's side of the family is in japan, so they know the area well and speak japanese fluently) he instead booked a family trip to yellowstone (not enough time for a trip to japan). wish me luck with my arch-nemesis! hope i come back with two ACLs. (don't worry, not skiing!)

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." -Luke 2:10-11

Happy birthday to Jesus, and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." -Luke 2:13-14

Glory to God in the highest!
