Christmas Junkie

I confess to being a Christmas Junkie. If it were socially acceptable I would listen to Christmas music all year. That is why I just finished floofing our fake Christmas tree. That's right, I put up our tree before Thanksgiving. I can't help it! I love this time of year. I love the cold, the lights, the aforementioned music, and everything else. I'm not sure why. I don't have any one strong memory of Christmas time just that it was a happy time for all of us.

So, for all of you closet Christmas junkies out there, you have company. I'm going to go sit by the tree now.

I am a Christmas junkie. I am so ready to get all of my things out. If I was not having Thanksgiving at my house then I would be getting out this week.

My Hero doesn't allow Christmas music until after Thanksgiving...I did start reading a Christmas Carol with the kids today. You've inspired me to look into a fake tree.....

I think my love for Christmas has grown now that I have a family to start my own traditions with. Once we get the rest of our tree that we left in GA shipped to us...it is going up! Thanks for the inspiration.
