So this is Christmas and what have you done?

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young 

(Celine Dion - So this is Christmas)

Can't believe this is my last Christmas in Durham. Was packing my bag for home today and I was blown away at how fast time has flown. As much as I can't wait to head home and see my family it's always sad to leave the family I have here. 

White Christmas

There's nothing better than that Christmas feeling :) All the photographs below were taken in Durham. I am loving the Christmas feeling in the air. Town has come alive with Christmas music and the prettiest decorations. Will post more photos soon :)

Imogen Heap LIVE in Newcastle

It's that time of year,

Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)

Tears stop right here,

I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

(Just for now - Imogen Heap)

Mirror

(Cinnamon Grand, Sri Lanka)

Mirror mirror on the wall, have I got it?
'Cause mirror you've always told me..
Who I am. I'm finding it's not easy
To be perfect

So sorry, you won't define me
Sorry, you don't own me
Who are you to tell me that I am less than what I should be?!


Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of he who made me
And to him I am beauty beyond compare
I know, he defines me.
(Mirror mirror -  Barlow Girls)


Barlow girls are not the most famous girl band but they are so good. Their lyrics are quite different but there is a lot of meaning behind it. I love how they talk about life and situations through their songs. 

Gracefully fall back in the arms of grace

(Durham, Nov 2009) I'm finding my way back to sanity, again  Though I don't really know what  I am gonna do when I get there  Take a breath and hold on tight  Spin around one more time  And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace  I am hanging on every word you say  And even if you don't want to speak tonight  That's alright, alright with me  'Cause I want nothing more than to sit  Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing  Is where I want to be  I am looking past the shadows  Of my mind into the truth and  I'm trying to identify  The voices in my head  God, which one's you?  Let me feel one more time  What it feels like to feel  And break these calluses off me  One more time  ( Breathing - Lifehouse)
