December 4

Did you ever make gingerbread houses when you were in elementary school? I remember that our teachers used to give us paper plates with graham crackers and an empty milk carton that would act as the foundation for our candy-covered homes. Not going to lie, I usually got a little stomachache while constructing because I loved to eat icing & my sweet supplies. Tonight, I decorated the house below. I have learned, after many attempts over the years, that less is more when it comes to the overall effect. In honor of my Boston College home, I have dubbed this the 21B Gingerbread Mod! I think my roommates & I are well represented by the gummy bears.

In addition to accessorizing this candy home, here is a little list of five things that made me feel joyful.

Eating cookies and milk while Christmas music played in the dining hall
Drinking cocoa with whipped cream in my Databases class
Receiving my first Pollyanna gift (my ultimate frisbee team’s version of Secret Santa)
Hanging out with my roommates while they baked
Walking alone under the full moon
