It's that Time of Year again...

So far we haven't even hit Thanksgiving and I have seen about a good handful of Christmas commercials slowly making their way on the air. Is it me...or did they come a little early this year? It sure seems like it haha. Well, a lot may know that Christmas time (second to Thanksgiving) is one of my favorite times of the year. Although it may not be good, it's the time of year I get to spend a lot of money on those I care about. I guess I like the feeling of giving...my problem: I like exceeding people's expectations...which usually means...more money. It's a bad habit that I suppose comes with my incessant need to please peeps. I have no idea. What can I say? I love wrapping the presents, and giving the presents. It is of course the season of giving :) SO I am thoroughly excited. I just have to go get some mulahah from my bank. O joy!

I also enjoy our somewhat newer tradition of walking down Christmas Tree Lane. For those who don't know...it's a few blocks of decked out houses in Christmas decor. Although it seems that it's getting smaller and smaller which is definitely unfortunate. I always remember driving down Christmas Tree Lane when I was little, and my mom would put the car radio onto the station playing all the Christmas songs. I'd sit in the back of the car in awe of all the lights and all the amazing outlandish things people did/do to their houses. For as long as I can remember, the Lane also puts out Santa's reindeers throughout different areas, and I would sit there and try to find all of them. Some homes haven't changed their decorations, like the Raggedy Ann/Andy workshop, and some houses have new decorations like the over-the-top house that could almost look like a part of Disneyland it's so decked out. It's just a great way to get into the Holiday spirit!! I'm looking forward to this years!

All this talk about the Holidays makes me want to start my Christmas shopping today...which was the plan until the laziness kicked. Who knows...maybe the next post I'll write a little bit about how I spend too much on people.

On a side note to which many may not care for: PFX tour starts tomorrow! I'll be heading over there Saturday I believe, so I'm excited!
