My Christmas Greetings To You All!

A Special Message with regards to photos at the beginning of this post:
Christmas Photos, taken by me--of course, will be coming soon to this blog... some christmas photos that you can look forward to include, but might not be limited to: our christmas tree with all the presents wrapped underneath, and beside, the tree.  So, seeing that its very late, or very early-- that is whichever way you look at it!, I am going to try to post some photos in another post, hopefully today, but if not tomorrow or the next--seeing that it'll still be the christmas season!  Meanwhile, be sure to check out my photo page of my pictures of the Lincoln Park Zoo Lights!

Merry Christmas To All My Dearest Readers, 

The first thing that I must say to you is that I am currently writing this very early in the morning on Thursday, December 25th, 2008-- Christmas Day, and why you may ask? Well, for no reason-- I just felt like it.  As I am writing this christmas greetings blog post to you all, I am listening to some christmas music from a playlist that I've put together in my iTunes called "Holiday-christmas Tunes." 

So, now I would like to tell you-- briefly-- what my day was like on Christmas Eve--Dec. 24th-- yesterday.  Amid brief segments of cleaning my "so much dreaded by me, and all" bathroom, and some "light cleaning/organizing of my desk-top area, as well as putting away some clean "darks"--two loads-- of clothes, I managed to catch up on some podcasting listening-- some great SQPN, Catholic contented podcasts!    

Before I started listening to a couple of SQPN podcasts, I should probably mention to you that I finished listening to the last two parts of the Young Adult Ministry-Archdiocese of Chicago--'s Advent Reflections: Be Watchful! -- which I highly recommend, but now that its Christmas, its a little bit too late for advent reflections--- what we need now is Christmas reflections or celebrations!!!   I started with listening to the latest episode of Catholic in a Small Town, which was episode: CST #111: Mad Mac , which was very interesting, entertaining, and funny--at times, per always!  I highly recommend this catholic podcast, as I do most all SQPN catholic podcasts that I've listened to.  

Soon after finishing to CST podcast (catholic in a smalltown podcast, not to get confused with my, or anyone's, Computer Science and Telecommunications class(es)!), I began my Daily Breakfast with Fr. Roderick marathon-- since I was in "drastic" need to catch up on about 4-5 episodes of the Daily Breakfast catholic, "SQPN- talk show" podcast!  The following is the run down of the episodes that I listened to today (in list form): --- I finished up listening to Fr. Roderick's travel tales from his (I believe it was a...) 5 day trip to Rome and the Vatican! ... 

I recommend that you check out this page, that SQPN wishes everyone a merry christmas! 

It's getting late, and I need my sleep for a morning-- later morning than this as I am writing this blog post,--- for unwrapping presents, and of course taking pictures of my sisters and dad opening their presents!  But, first I must tell you all about, briefly--or as brief as I can be, about my christmas present to my sisters... it was a photo college of the both of them-- here let me explain if you are all curious... For my sister, Stefanie, I made a photo collage of pictures of her-- just her, or mostly her. And, similar, yet uniquely different in its own way, a photo collage for my sister, Caroline.  This is a home made gift for my sisters from me, their big, older, and very "mature" brother!  I got the idea from a front page article on the Torch (RU's student newspaper) that was in the last issue of this fall 08 semester (issue 12).   The article had mentioned some different gift ideas that you could "home-make."  And the article mentioned for those who always have a camera in hand (I'm paraphrasing here) to use their many photos has a gift... so after many hours of tirelessly working with photos of my two sisters, I created them each both individually uniquely different a photo college for the both of them.

Before I leave you, I would like to give you, yet another, link, but this time its of my Video Blog #4-- that I made on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008, of which I have a special guest on-- who is my best friend, Kyle Erickson. I very much and highly recommend that you watch it and then post a comment or email me your feedback on what you think!!!   In the video, we basically just ramble on for about half an hour (about 28 minutes) on many different topics.  I would like to say now that Kyle is truly a very special friend of whom I enjoy spending time and just hanging out with him!!!-- and I think that this video blog #4 shows just how "whacky at times" and how true friends the both of us all-- even after graduating from Westmont High School!  So, check it out by clicking the link above for the video blog #4 and then add a comment to this post or email me your feedback to this video blog #4-- and this post as as whole! 

Well, now its getting late, but I hope to be back soon with perhaps some christmas photos, and perhaps some commentary, and maybe even a short "special" christmas greeting video blog (#5)!-- who knows!..you're just have to wait and see!  But, now I need my sleep-- however short/petite it may be, ... well that's just how it is for me, or most any college/or student on winter break!!! (or for that matter any time during the academic year!!!)

So, on behalf of myself and everyone in my family, I would like to wish you all a very blessed, holy, and merry christmas!   

May you all have a peaceful, blessed, and merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas,
  ~ Daniel
