> Yes, tis' true. I beat my own record. We usually set aside the day after Thanksgiving for decorating ( we have THREE trees mind you) but this year, a certain little 6 year old would not BE quiet about it, so I did for my own sanity.

> I love Christmas!Ahhh man that warms my heart, Christmas is so wonderful. My best childhood memories are of waking up on Christmas morning 'so excited with what Santa brought' with that lovely Christmas tree smell and my mothers GORGEOUS dinner cooking over night. I also love all the old classic movies they play over and over again on T.V.
I'm like an overgrown 26 year old child at Christmas lol. And Bing Crosby, wow, perfect choice. I also love the cheesy ones like 'Last Christmas' - Wham! and 'All I Want For Christmas (Is You)' - Mariah Carey, I guess I could name another 50 or so but I'll leave my list of Crimbo songs with the ABSOLUTE most beautiful and fun christmas song ever made: Fairy Tale Of New York - by the Pogues & the late Kirsty MacColl (R.I.P.).
We'll probably put up our tree (and cover the house in lights LOL, we'll you gotta beat the neighbours ehh haha) next week or so, we usually leave it untill December.
Not looking forward to the boozing sessions and drunk uncles though, WAY to much temptation for a weak soul like myself. All the same it will be a joy. We have lots of young cousins that come around showing off their presents excited like chimpanzees on cocaine LOL, thats the best part though.
Yep Christmas is one hell of a fun time, and a time everybody comes together and really cares about eachother.
Have a great one yourself Spriggy.
