The Life We Once Knew

November 17, 2007 · 5 Comments

I’ve had a hell of a last 24 hours. This morning while I was cleaning, it occurred to me that looking at a lit Christmas tree might make me happy. So I put it up. I know, that makes me a crazy person (a charge I won’t dispute). But at least it’ll be up when I get home from Thanksgiving in Iowa. However that may go.

    I listened to Christmas music on Kosi, on my communte to work, every morning last week (sssh)! I vow every year to not bust out ANYTHING Christmas until after T-day, but… Christmas makes me feel all fuzzy inside. And this year especially, I am all about the fuzzy. So more power to you and your tree :)

    Haha. Last year as I drove to Iowa for Thanksgiving, I guiltily listened to Christmas songs all the way across Nebraska. Mariah Carey Christmas songs even.

    The holidays are fun—and I’m with you: All about the fuzzy. And no familial stress. :)

    yes, good pic. …what is it with Holiday Season 07?! i put my tree up last night (& am LOVING it!) after much hesitance and, after scolding myself earlier in the week that it just wasn’t appropriate until friday nov. 23, listened to three Xmas tunes to satisfy my appetite. delectable :)

    I’m glad we’re full of holiday cheer! Now I won’t feel bad during my next shopping excursion…for ornaments. :)
