I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!
I hope you all enjoy yourselves.

I just stayed home with my mom and watched a marathon of different ways of torture throughout history.

I’ve also had a really great Christmas too.
Better than I thought it would be, that’s for sure!!!

My favorite gifts include:
- CANDY!!!
- Some cool and, dare I say, sexy outfits! If only I had a boyfriend or girlfriend to try them out on. I guess I’ll just stick with Handel.
- A cute Christmas teddy bear, as well as an adorable stuffed puppy.
- Handel’s Messiah on CD
- A few new movies, including Horton Hears a Who and Scrooged
- and a four disk set of Nancy Drew PC games! 10-13!

Also, I got a few other things that are not necessarily for Christmas.

A very close and dear friend of mine, Heather, is moving to Kentucky so she can go to a private Seventh-day Adventist college there. She gave be a book of quotes from the Bible and said she on days she feels week, she writes down a passage on an index card to carry with her that day, and when she is not doing well, she reads the card and it helps. She is so sweet!
I also got The Duchess and all three Little Mermaid movies on DVD.

Now going back to 2009.

2009 marks the 250 anniversary of Handel’s death on April 14, 1759.
I want to go to London so badly!!! I really want to do something… Sadly I don’t think I can.

I can tell this is going to be a depressing year. It has to be depressing if I start out watching ways of torture in history. *sigh* Maybe next year I can afford to go to Germany to celebrate his 325 birthday on February 23. I hope so… Besides, celebrating his birthday is more happy than celebrating the day he died anytime, right?

Anyway, no more of that sadness! I do hope everyone has a great year and has also had a great holiday!
