1. Ugh.

It's not the 'all-Christmas-all-the-time' part I'm not looking forward to, but the 'all-WAR-ON-CHRISTMAS!!!-all-the-time' from the TV blowholes that make me want to crawl under the bed and stay there until December 26th.

14. I've already started sorting everything.

After Christmas two years ago somebody packed the shrubbery lights in a huge green plastic tub (not in the original boxes where they belong). I couldn't find 'em last year so I bought one new set to use in place of the missing three. It'll be great (and simple) having all four out front this year.

If I don't I rewire the deer's antlers he won't be standing next to the maple tree out front.

2. I'm always ready for Christmas.

I'll sing carols in June. As to the commercialism... I manage to avoid almost all of that.

6. Remember the old Peanuts cartoon...

... Lucy is going on and on about how now is the time for peace and love and goodwill and all that crap, and Charlie asks her "why can't it be that way all year 'round?" Whereupon Lucy asks "What are you, some kind of fanatic?"

Lot of wisdom in those early Peanuts.

10. Nope

Not a huge Christmas fan, and I think Christmas music is annoying.

[In_The_Wind]

11. I like the lights.

But Christmas always makes me sad.

[bigwillq]

12. Yea, the lights are cool.

I love lights.

But, yes, the holidays are a sad time for a lot of folks.

It's Halloween afternoon and I'm still wearing warm fuzzy pajamas.

15. I drove from

San Antonio to Atlanta Georgia yesterday (I-20) and the best I could find on the radio was Christmas Music

all else was Country, Christian, Anti-Obama political ads, right wing talk radio and occasional bad Rap...

[In_The_Wind]

16. I-20 is a nice drive but

remember to pack CDs next time.

Good grief Christmas music already.
