Countdown
Because I have had to turn the heat on in my car for like 5 consecutive days now, I feel at liberty to start counting down to Christmas. 88 days people. Have you started shopping yet? And really, I can count down until Halloween (39 days), after which point I turn my attention almost exclusively to Christmas...Christmas decorating, Christmas cards, Christmas music, Christmas parties...aaaaah, Christmas.Christmas this year will top every other year for a few reasons.
1. My House. Because I now have a house that has a bannister (upon which I will of course put some garland), I feel that Christmas will be celebrated a little bit more joyfully this year. If I'm being honest, one of the first things I pictured when we first looked at the house was a garland running up my Adirondack staircase. I was sold. I have also identified at least 3 places in my house which will accomodate Christmas trees very nicely. Three times the Christmas trees, three times the Christmas joy. yay.
2. Monday. Christmas this year falls on a Monday. I have not thought this through thoroughly but I am quite sure that Monday is the best possible day for Christmas to fall on for those of us who work and have sparing amounts of vacation time. I will get out early on Friday, have the weekend off of course, and then have holidays Monday and Tuesday. All the Christmas joy, no vacation days used. yay.
3. DV-R. This is another whole post in itself, but I am quite sure that our recently obtained DV-R will conrtibute significantly to the Christmas cheer factor this year. Why? Let me explain. My favorite thing about Christmas is how everything ordinary in life becomes Christmas-ized. Trees are all lit up, shopping is almost exclusively Christmas related, and even most baking is themed. This of course extends to TV. I don't watch a ton but around Christmas, I like to see Christmas versions of the today show and all of my favorite sitcoms. Unfortunately I am not home to catch these, not to mention the excellent Christmas specials which air so frequently around this time. Thanks to Time Warner Cable and the wonders of technology, I will no longer be deprived of Christmas programming. yay.
88 days people...get your game faces on.
