I'm Back!

I've thought many times of how to jump back into blogging, but my summer break from Scintillate has quickly stretched into a 6-Month black hole! I was not going to say "it's funny how time flies", but I just did, and it certainly is the truth. I almost posted a tribute to big brothers after the summer visits from my own came to an end. I just about uploaded pictures galore after a visit with my cousins. I practically gave up on tennis this past summer, so i nearly came to the blog to lament my lack of athleticism. At the beginning of the school year, I thought, "time to start blogging again!", but i didn't. And then, I'm ashamed to say, I didn't think about Scintillate until this month. And the reason I chose this month to resume Scintillate is the 10-year-old businesswoman in our family.

God Jul!

I've resurrected my blog just in time to wish you all a Merry Swedish Christmas! God Jul! I don't know if your Christmas celebrations so far have been merry or Swedish, but my family's certainly have. Our Christmas tree is standing (always a great accomplishment)! TSO is playing on spotify! Our stockings are now hung, with the utmost care and only slightly creased, above the fireplace! The tumptas are perched on the mantle! All of these things are shouting the joyous news: Christ is come!
