I bought a bunch of Christmas presents last night. I never realized how quickly you can spend $400.00... Sheesh. And this is just the preliminary stuff.
Aaaaaaaaand, got a new Christmas CD,  For free! My aunts sister owns one of those Hallmark type stores, that has all that nifty stuff. So I'd picked up a Yankee Candle (Christmas Cookie), and the CD, asked which I should get. Dad commented that the CD said FREE on it. (Buy two get one free), so she let me have the CD free, And yeeeees, she knew Dad was kidding.

Well you certainly enjoy Christmas, Theresa. I will try to enjoy it more but the years just keep coming and going for me.......it never ceases, I feel. Alas, but that is the world we live, time does fly by.....
Quite funny, but the "first" Christmas you posted, regardly Charlie Brown, was over two years ago now. Really, do you still watch those DVD's?

I actually am going to buy the DVD box set this year. My tapes are kind of worn out. The Great Pumpkin is actually in the VCR right now,

Then I'd advise against it. Besides, I'm holiday obsessed. I've already got out a couple of halloween decorations,  The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, the holidays are coming!

Our inability to see eye to eye.
I loooove holidays. I like the atmosphere, I like that people are usually nicer. I'm weird.

My sophomore year of high school was when I felt the most George Bailey at Christmas. I haven't had that feeling ever since, I don't know why.

That movie was actually voted AFI's most emotion evoking movie ever. I just saw it last night. (the list)
I feel George Bailey quite a bit, actually. From bridge to bridge.

Oh, I agree. It's totally emotional. It just hit more that year than ever for some reason.

Did you know the movie was a box office bomb? The only reason it's seen on so many stations so often is because no one really owns the rights anymore. Or something like that. Anyway, no station has to pay to play it.

My Christmas music just stopped. And at work, our Christmas catalog dropped last week,  There's some pretty cute stuff.

We do have those, but that's not quite what I was thinking of.
Tried to find the link at the site, but apparently the new Christmas catalog hasn't been added yet. I think it'll be up tomoz around 0700.
