Okay, I'm starting this again because I have rants and raves. lol.

It's simple. Rant- something bad. Rave- something good. Tell us what you want but make sure it follows the Lumos Rules.



Rant- so we had a candle lighting ceremony at our church and my candle sucked at life. More like the paper thing that's supposed to keep the wax from getting on you sucked at life. It dripped all over my hands and my clothes and by the time we could put out our candles I probably had enough wax in my hand to make another candle.

Rave- All I could think about was Light My Candle.

"Ouch!"
"Oh, the wax-"
"It's dripping. I like it between my-"
"Fingers, I figured. Oh well, good night."

Rant- We were singing at the time so I couldn't howl in pain and didn't want to stop my mum from singing so we could switch candles. More importantly I didn't want my mum to deal with the stupid arse candle.


Rave- They had a string trio playing and I love string instruments with all of my heart. lol.

Rave- Got lots of awesome presents.

Rave- Have a few more to open tommorrow.

Rant- Yeah, we had to have our Christmas stuff on Christmas Eve so...it kind of wasn't as fun.

Rant- I forgot to call Ki or Faith at 9 pm.

Rave- I called Ki at 10:34 pm in the car and made her laugh as I fixed the lyrics for the time. lol.

Rave- I'm wearing really comfy pants.
