Christmas

I am excited to finally be able to even think about Christmas. A week ago, no way. But Thanksgiving is over. I had a really good one. We went out to eat for lunch, which I would love to do from now on at Thanksgiving. Then Chris' parents, sister and brother-in-law came over and we played a game called Apples to Apples. It is a great game & fun for all. We played it for, what 2 hours or so!? I highly recommend it. But now, it's Christmas time.

I am going to try to not get caught up in the "who do I need to buy for" this year. I've made a list of who gets what and that is that. I'm going to try to be patient in line at stores, etc. Who am I kidding? I have no patience for anything. We haven't put out any decorations yet, but I'm ready to get all my snowmen out. I love snowmen!! They're so fat and happy and just make my soul smile. I'd decorate our whole place in snowmen if Chris would let me.

I discovered something about myself the other day. For whatever reason, any channel that plays Christmas movies all day long drives me insane. It's like animals in clothing, I just can't stand it. I don't even want to look at it. I think because on Lifetime they've had this Fa La La La Lifetime marathon going on and the movies are cheesy. I don't know but it drives me crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas movies. I just don't like cheesy ones. I love Elf with Will Ferrell. It's one movie that I can watch any time of the year. You can't beat this:

Oh well. So I guess we can now say "Tis the Season.....to watch cheesy movies". Merry Christmas!!
