I've Got That Christmas Spirit

At the risk of alienating several of you, I just have to say it...

I am in the Christmas spirit!!

Yes, already!  I know, I know... it's crazy early.  And you might think I've completely lost my mind over here.

I get it. 

I'm usually one of those "bah, humbug" kinda gals until Thanksgiving hits.  One of the "don't even think about playing the Christmas music or talking about holiday plans in my presence until I have finished my turkey dinner" people. 

And even then I sometimes have trouble getting into the Christmas mood.

But not this year!  This year I am so ready already!

I'd be decorating the house already if I didn't think that the family would stage some sort of revolt.  And even that might not stop me from putting the tree up this weekend.  Or at least pulling the boxes of decorations out of the downstairs closet and getting a jump start. 


Maybe it's that 3+ inches of snow we got a week and a half ago on my birthday.  Who knows?

Whatever the reason - I am ready for the Christmas holidays to begin!

Mrs Grinch's Small Heart Grew Three Sizes That Day

All you Christmas Elf type bloggy friends can relax.  Mrs Grinch and family have a tree.

Yes, I realize it's not decorated yet.  That is on the calendar for Wednesday night. 

Don't Worry - it was not obtained by shoving it up the chimney of some poor unsuspecting Who down in Who-ville.

A Holiday Moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
