Happiness is...
Rush Tickets. Fond of plays? Care to go to the theatre? Not interested in spending 65$ each? No problem.
With rush tickets, you can spontaneously decide in an afternoon to head over to the box office and get half price tickets just minutes before the show. Sure, it's risky. But is it worth it? Absolutely. Today, a few of us went to see A Christmas Carol, just because. Not only were we able to enjoy a great show, but it didn't put us back much either. Win.
p.s. I recommend this show in particular---great set, awesome blocking, and amazing cast. God bless us, every one!

Recap
Happiness is...
Recaps. At the end of the year we all spend some time planning our celebration to ring in the new year, thinking about our resolutions, and trying to make the most of it. Instead, I like to look back on the year we just had. What happened this year? Who died? What scandals hit the news? How was I impacted?
I can look through pictures and old journal entries. I can see one of the many "Best Of" youtube videos. Or I can talk to my friends and family. Whatever the activity, it's pretty cool to reminisce on how much has changed in the last 363 days or so. Here's to another good year! Bring it on 2012.

Gift Cards
Happiness is...
Gift cards. I love receiving gift cards because of many reasons... I hate asking for necessities like groceries and textbooks and hygiene products for Christmas... I don't want to make Christmas another droll occasion... I know people will sleep better at night if they know they didn't get me something I already had or, worse, despise... I love spending money. Not shopping, but splurging. And what better way than if it isn't even affecting my bank account anyway?
Booya. Gift cards. Santa couldn't have been more spot on.

Surprises
Happiness is...
A sheer surprise. Not the kind where you know some unknown something is coming, but the kind where it just takes you out of the blue, dumbfounded, awestruck, and utterly confounded in the best way possible.
Somehow, after all of my advice, he still managed to sneak yet another Christmas gift into my household... from thousands of miles and vast waters away, he took my heart.
This Christmas was full of all things merry. I truly didn't deserve it. I have so many blessings I don't even know where to start. The holiday was it was very pleasant with good food, fellowship, and fun. And just as quickly as it came, it has past. But not without my gentle thanks. I am thankful for 2011. I am thankful for the little things, and big surprises. I am thankful for you.

Giving gifts
Happiness is...
Giving gifts. Sure, I stress for a few days about what to get someone. But after a little thoughtful shopping and some nice crisp wrapping paper, all that awaits is their receiving of my present, and the joy that's on their face when they open it and find something that spoke to me about them.
I love presents. They're a little token of personal affection, and they are way better than me just splurging on an impulsive desire. A simple reminder of love, hope, and family. Gifts. Merry Christmas!
God bless us, every one.
