Well, I think a lot of people caught the Christmas bug early this year as it started snowing on October 30. Granted, the snow has since melted and it looks more like November outside again than December, but it doesn’t change the effect the early snow had on people.
My family gets pretty fanatic about Christmas. By November 2nd, my 2 youngest siblings had put up Christmas lights in their rooms, had Christmas music blasting, and were watching old home videos of Christmas. The rest of us settled for a bit of Christmas music and a viewing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (that one never gets old). You’d have thought we were but a week or 2 away from Christmas, hehe.
Anyways, since the weather was good, we put up the Christmas lights today. It’d look better if there were snow, so let’s hope it snows again before Christmas (and that it sticks). As a rule, however, we won’t put up the Christmas Tree until after Thanksgiving…

I guess I’ll have to hold off my mocking post and pictures about people who celebrate Christmas too early until next year.
Nah, feel free to mock. 😉
Some house in our neighborhood already has their Christmas tree up. But, I enjoy the atmosphere of Christmas so I don’t mind if it comes early. So long as I don’t feel it’s getting beaten to death which so far it hasn’t (since I generally avoid going to the store / mall).
yaeh, thanks to spending a few hours on the roof putting on those lights, I have a lingering cold, those lights had better look good!
