The title of the blog is inspired by Emily's quiz, asking me how I feel about Christmas music. I think the answer is that it depends on my mood but that, for the most part, I like Christmas stuff. My coffee lady has had the stuff out since Halloween and I enjoy it. I don't really mind that it comes early anymore because time moves so fast for me now.
I did almost all of my Christmas shopping this weekend (crowd applauds) and, in the stores, they were playing Christmas carols that stayed in my head long enough for me to get through wrapping the presents in the Christmas spirit. I also proceeded to drag some Christmas stuff up from my dad's basement and put it all over the house (much to my dad's chagrin). My sister will be glad, when she arrives, that there is at least a little bit of Christmas stuff. She apparently put out Thanksgiving stuff last time she was at Dad's so we're decorating for each other. I moved my sister's pumpkin from the front steps to the back yard, changed the harvest wreath she put up for some giant plastic bells, and shook the dust off of the Christmas tree doormat (which has been on the front porch all year). Dad claims indifference toward Christmas decorations but I'd like to point out that he's the person who purchased the giant bells. One year he even got some of those light-up deer for the front yard, which have since broken.
So, bottom line, I like Christmas carols. The Little Drummer Boy came on in the car on the way home and I cried...
