    Default 🎄 Christmas is peaking around the corner ❅

    I always feel it arrives too quickly and I'm left running around trying to get the tree up last minute. I'm determined to stable things financially, so I can splurge some during the Holidays. I won't be with family or friends and this will be my first year entirely alone, so the plan is putting up lights, baking cookies, planning movies ahead, drinking at least 1 to 5 cups of coco with a crap load of marshmallows and possible going to an event. Anyone have plans for Christmas or doing anything special?
    Do you go crazy with Holiday traditions?

    I'm actually psyched for the holidays..I'm gunna be broke so I'm going to keep it simple , but try and enjoy it. I wanna do a rustic Yule type xmas..Yule logs, green pine, holly berries, etc I can find those out in my forest and make my own wreaths! Lots of baking w gingerbread. My family does a big traditional buttery pop-over every Christmas called a "dutch baby". Those chocolate oranges, and martinellis! I love traditional xmas hyms so ill play a bunch of those through late November and December.

    ^^^I friggin love your Hornblower Guy!

    I actually want to spend the holiday working out and planning for next year. I usually get into something spiritual like Deepak or Eckhart Tolle. It was hot enough to hit the beach last year but this year may be snowy so a walk through the park may be more fitting. NO high caloric stuff for me. Just holiday smoothies! I want to get cut this Winter. Size 5 is good but Size 3 is even better!

    Aw yiss! I go Christmas Crazy every year.

    Already got decorations up minus the tree and full balcony stuff. I might try to do a Whoville scene.
    I tend to spend December shopping, it's not as fun to me without the frenzied holiday mall atmosphere. Was hoping to go to NYC and New Hampshire to see family.

    Otherwise I'm really excited to watch Christmas Vacation and Krampus.

    I think they start it a bit too early..
    But, I do enjoy some of the treats that are out..
    Also, I bought a cute snowflake mat, so there's that.

    I can't really wrap my arms around Christmas until Thanksgiving is over. But it is my favorite holiday now that I have children. The excitement in their eyes when they rush down to see what Santa brought them is a lot of fun. But I also enjoy all of the family related activities around Christmas, like the school plays, parades and other events that my kids are in as well as some of the local public Christmas events.

    Oh, and it is also the one time of year that Mrs. Dugan will agree to serve a high end roast beef for dinner, pan dripping gravy included. That sure doesn't dampen the Christmas spirit either.

    I think I'm going to spend last 2 weeks of the year in Rome. They don't actually do gift giving on Christmas Day. I think I want to see the Pope's Christmas Eve address at St. Peter's. I'm not catholic (at all) but what an amazing spectacle. I haven't done it before.

    I'm still in denial of Christmas being here..it is cute though seeing all the kiddies go crazy over mall Santa early and its nice knowing people here are spending time with family. Still hits me that I have to go shopping soon, kids are the best to surprise and they fall for the stories! Funny I open gifts at night and that is a dream to be in Rome during the Holiday! Problem is I like to appreciate and play with the wrapping a lot, so it takes me forever to open just one gift. Planning dinner is another thing, I'm dying over having Turkey for Thanksgiving and the gravy to top sounds like a heart attack made in heaven.

    my favorite time of year! It seem like the Christmas season is starting earlier & earlier as the years go on, but i'm fine with that. I was seriously contemplating taking a trip & spending Christmas in nyc. The Christmas spirit there is too damn real. But unfortunately my family is pressuring me to be home for xmas.

    The only thing I do early is my Christmas shopping. I am done except for the odd stocking stuffer. I hate crowds and traffic. I actually started this year's Christmas shopping around July.

    I decorate but I no longer put up lights. For what ? I don't have to impress anybody and I save a fortune on my electric bill. It used to be we put lights the first weekend in December. Now I have neighbors who have them up already. And they put up lights for Valentine's Day and Halloween.
    I like Christmas but the season starts earlier and earlier every year. Can we do the "trick or treating " first. Then honor our veterans. Then enjoy the bird with family and friends and THEN decorate and shop til we drop ? What's the rush.

    I loooooooove Christmas because I love Christmas shopping, this year I'm feeling buyer's block though. My mom just wants me to send her enough money on a Visa gift card so she can buy a necklace she put on hold, I think I might just send her $500 and be like 'there ya go' because I can't think of anything else for her and neither can she. I think I'm going to get my one friend that I always do inexpensive gifts with a Wham t-shirt because I usually get her something music-oriented and she loves Wham. I just told my other friend that what we should do this year, because we both love the mall atmosphere in the frenzy right before Christmas, is give each other a matching wad of money and just go shopping together for whatever we feel like at the mall on X-mas Eve and she agreed.

    Speaking of Christmas, I feel kind of bad because I had a realization recently. You know how people always flip out about stores putting the Christmas stuff out 'too soon?' I never understood the anger and was like 'Damn don't you have anything else to be upset about,' lol but now that I think about it, a lot of people probably dread Christmas because it's a financial burden and that's why so many people actually don't like being reminded of Christmas any earlier than necessary.
