Just wondering........anyone dealing with a semi or fully Scroogelike individual? My Husband is becoming borderline Semi-Scrooge. He says because I get so nutty about Christmas, it takes some of the fun out of it. Can anyone relate at all and if yes how do you handle Christmas?:jumping:

The only thing I run into is having to play my music so that no one else can hear it. But for those of you who like to decorate early and have people opposed, it's sad, because alot of the fun is in sharing it all. And, I imagine, the worst thing to hear is that because you love it so much you're ruining it for someone else. I feel for you! :sad elf:

My girl isnt into Xmas near as much as me , but she plays along :)
When we first got together I made it perfectly clear that I am the biggest Pearl Jam and Christmas fan that she will ever meet.
So far so good :dance:
A lot of my friends can not understand me when I tell them that I will not go out this weekend because I have to start decoration for Christmas and we always and up arguing..
Most of them, decorate after 10 December..
I do not have a problem with that, I just want them to understand me as I understand them..
