Lots of people are cranky during the 'season'. Expectations are so high, both with children and adults.

Children are looking at the booty angle , adults swear THIS year will be different.
So are the adults, if the truth be told. Good gift, good booty!! Well, somebody had to say it.

Me, I just keep watching "A Christmas Story" and "Nat'l Lampoons Christmas Vacation"over and over.

That and Mannheim Steamrollers "A Christmas Concert" in VHS because it seems they never transferred it to dvd.......

Did you know, there is a radio station here that starts playing Christmas music exclusively November 1.
My husband and older kids howl with laughter over "A Christmas Story" even though they've seen it a hundred times. I like watching "Scrooged" because I love Bill Murray!

We're going to visit my parents in Florida again this year. We had decided to go a couple of months ago and I have been kind of dreading it, but now I'm really glad we're going. The only problem is, Ryleigh still believes in Santa, so if that still stands, we'll have to lug all the presents down with us. We've tried doing the whole open gifts before we leave thing (telling her that I sent Santa an email explaining our trip) but then my mom feels bad that she won't get to watch Ryleigh open everything and spends way too much money buying her more presents.

I've been getting inundated with catalogs in the last couple of weeks which is just as annoying as seeing all the stores decked out for Christmas before Halloween. I can see their point that I might want to order in advance, but not 2 months in advance.

It would be great if they had the good idea to broadcast "Hogfather" at TV again ! A lot better than the nth broadcasting of "Sissi"...

I love the catalogs. I always mark certain things I MUST have then forget all about them. Saves tons of money.....

Still doesn't get you out of visiting your relatives, especially when they know you celebrate the solstice around that time

Pagans are the ones who thought yule logs and ornamented evergreen trees were a good way to celebrate the Solstice. Just more dang decorations to buy!

Nope. I have gotten a couple of gifts, but no more. This year, I wont do my christmas shopping until Christmas is over. Do you think my family will accept that?!

Sure, just do the "But I will be able to buy much more valuable gifts for you if I shop at the mellandags-rea!" excuse.
