Holiday Spirit

Each year, I try so so very hard to stifle my urge to acknowledge Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. Even with a still-full Thanksgiving dinner stomach, you can find me bolting out of bed, sipping hot coco, blasting holiday music and putting the final touches on a perfectly assembled fake tree all before 9 am.

 

This year, there is no denying it. After searching through the sale racks at Michael's, Target & Crate and Barrel over the weekend for left over Halloween crap, my feet led me directly into the neighboring Christmas sections. My heart! The sparkle, the deep reds and greens, reindeer, cute plump Santas, cheery sayings on banners and plates, I couldn't help but launch into full holiday mode. The spiral was all down hill from there. An hour spent in Hobby Lobby's 50% off Christmas aisles, a dash to the nearest starbucks for a peppermint americano in a red cup, NSYNC Christmas blasting in my car....

I LOVE CHRISTMAS.

Anyone else finding it completely impossible to resist?
