The holidays have come quickly upon us, at least for Lisa and me. We enjoy seeing the Christmas spirit here in Vancouver. I think people in Vancouver like Christmas more than we do in DC. There are much more houses decorated with lights. Even the little neighborhood stores put up Christmas lights on the trees and decorate their stores.

In a class this week one of the professors said that Advent is a nice break inbetween our Old Testament Studies and New Testament Studies. I thought that was a good point. It has been hard to concentrate on anything except for exams and papers to write at the end of the semester.
