It's now acceptable to play Christmas songs! Woohoo!
I'll admit it. I'm just a big kid at heart. I really enjoy this time of year and not for the presents. For me, it's all about the special TV shows and Christmas movies, the music, the decorations, the baking, wrapping that special gift (okay, I like to buy presents--but not expensive ones) and about looking forward to a few quiet days with family and friends.
I like that the world shuts down for a few days, admitedly it's not for as long as it used to be when I was a kid. Why stores have to open on December 26th, I'll never understand. It's a time out of time when the clock seems to slow down and there is time to do the things that we rarely take time for.
It's only a few weeks away now and I plan to ignore the rampant commercialism that seems to permeate our culture. I intend to enjoy every moment leading up to the big day and the days beyond. I hope you and your family do too.

I've already watched It's A Wonderful Life, the Christmas CDs have been in the CD player since the day after Thanksgiving, and we have our permit to go tree-cutting. And the first two batches of cookies have been eaten. Cookies, decorating the tree, singing carols, those are my favorite things about Christmas. Presents are fun, too, but cookies and carols last all month! I want to make a gingerbread house with my toddler this year, too.
We've already watched the Muppet version of A Christmas Carol and I bought a new Christmas CD. I haven't made cookies yet--they wouldn't last. LOL
Enjoy your tree decorating and your cookie baking. :-)
