Belatedly dropping in to say that I, too, love Christmas so much it embarrasses people. Hooray!

Beautiful tree! And although I too love Christmas, I don’t love Christmas carols. But everything else I could jump on board with.

I LOVE Christmas as well. I start playing carols in November!

So this post spoke to me. Except for the egg nog…I’m not a fan.

But everything else about Christmas? AWESOME.

When I first saw that tree I thought it FELL on your car, so anything after that was just…um…egg nog.

I missed cutting our own tree this year, but alas, we had to go wee sized to keep Iggy from destroying it, and thereby unleashing The Ghost of Christmas Wrath.

But I, too, am obsessed with lights, and lighting the tree just so, so much so that Shannon said our tree this year looked “like a big blob of lights.” Amen.

(We are totally watching Scrooged, The (original) Grinch and Miracle on 34th Street on Christmas Eve. And! Christmas cookies. I really can’t wait.)

Remind me to never volunteer to help hang the lights My roommate would get like that with the decorations. It looks great though and thank goodness that holiday elf was there to help while you were out and about.

I love that you cut your own tree down. Did you drink cider, too? Or take a tractor-drawn hay ride through the snow? I haven’t cut down a tree since I was 4 (technically, I wasn’t the one to cut it down, just FYI), back when I lived in Seattle. Good memories.

I know every word to every song in the Muppet’s Christmas Carol. Perhaps we could put on some sort of performance? With costumes?!

Since I was born with a supressed bah humbug gene, that only came out as a young adult, I can’t totally get behind the christmas joy you have… but there’s something very familiar about all of your descriptions from my childhood. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.

With hope that someday my Christmas Joy gene will battle the Bah Humbug gene…
