EJ'S COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 12 DAYS!

My favorite band is Owl City! I've seen him in concert twice, and his music is optimistic and always brightens my day. Adam Young, the artist behind Owl City, released a winter single recently that makes me almost believe I could look out my window and see a snowy wonderland!



"Peppermint Winter" by Owl City

"There’s the snow
Look out below
And bundle up
Cause here it comes
Run outside
So starry eyed
A snowball fight breaks out
And winter has finally begun

I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace
Till I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don’t need to taste to believe
What’s December without Christmas Eve

Hop in the sleigh
And we’ll glide away
Into the night
And we’ll sip on moonlight
Runny nose
My frosty toes
Are getting cold but I feel alive
So I smile wide

The snowflakes start falling and I start to float
Till my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don’t need to taste to believe
What’s December without Christmas Eve

All this holiday cheer
Heaven knows where it goes
But it returns every year
And though this winter does nothing but storm
The joy in my heart is ablaze and it’s keeping me warm
It’s keeping me warm
It’s keeping me warm

I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box
Till I end up with 45 new pairs of socks
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don’t need to taste to believe
What’s December without Christmas Eve"

School is wrapping up now, and I am so excited to go home! Just a few more tests and projects, some packing and lots of cleaning left and then I'm driving to good ole Cali. I hope that you are enjoying your winter and staying warm!
