I can't help it...no matter how shitty things in my life seem to be going...I can't help but feel good this time of year. I love the holiday season and everything about it...well, that is, everything except for the shopping malls! I'm a one-stop shopper when it comes to Christmas shopping. I will not go until I know exactly what I am going to be buying...I don't do crowds. I laughed out loud when my choir director said that the Mall of America had requested we sing there on the day after Thanksgiving. HA! Black Friday? I don't think so...parking is atrocious enough without adding that into the mix. Incidentally, we won't be performing at M.O.A. this year! Choir helps me get into the spirit...Christmas music in general can do that. I've been known to play it in the middle of the summer if I need a little pick-me-up! Of course, knowing full well that the Muzac station at work will begin the Christmas music next week, there is a limit to my love of 'all things holiday'. The muzac does get old...but at least I know I can go home and listen to whatever my heart desires!
As for the food...well, let's just say I've decided to start the diet on January 1, again! It's worked for me before...so I'm going to give it another shot next year. Something to be said about starting fresh RIGHT at the start of the year, plus it will be easier to mark my progress that way. Anyway, back to the food. Who doesn't love the food? I love trying new recipes to bring to family gatherings...and I don't even like to cook...but still, it's fun this time of the year! So, hopefully things will continue to feel this jubilant even after the holidays!

Nice first comment. Whatever. I am glad someone is at least in the holiday spirit. The holidays are always bittersweet for me. This year is no exception. I think I will hit the spirit once I see how Brody reacts to the first Christmas tree we have. At least I hope so.
