Yeah that he is! Well I hope to hear from him soon. This is now my third year coming to this site. So its become a tradition in its own right for me. :gelf:
Well I get my Christmas Shopping done July-October... Not only because I'm addicted to Christmas, but because all the stores jack up the prices around the Holiday season, so...I'm cheap! ahaha.
I've got almost all my Christmas Shopping done! I'll be posting a forum around the middle of November to see if anyone would like to do a Christmas Card chain with me (meaning send christmas cards to eachother) Can't wait!
i have officially started cause i have got some tins of chocolates ready!!:santa-smiley:
me too, i brought some today, they were doing an offer and my local co-op, two massive tines of quality streets and roses for £8.00:santahat:Quote:

Just started last week with my Christmas Vacations DVD. The weather finally started too be cooler here in Quebec. And my Christmas musics are already on my IPOD! This is so the best time of the year!!!
I have most of my shopping done already. THe ladies are getting books, the kids are getting goodie bags with dollar tree crafts and fruit. THe men are a different story. I am going to start asking around to see what I can get for my nephews. I got Kris a new Bible since he is starting the school to be a preacher in January.
that leaves me with Michael, Joshua, dad, Owen, Cameron, John, Aiden, and baby girl due in November. to get for yet. any suggestions on what to get for Owen 11 yrs and Cameron 10 yrs. I have no earlthly idea what boys that age like. I got each of them to buy for and All I know is that they love money. But I like getting gifts for everyone. I may just get them gift cards who knows then I can mail them the week of CHristmas. I will be getting dollar tree things for John, Aiden, and baby girl and sending it out December !st. They won't get fruit or snacks because they are in Florida. Or do you think I should send them gift cards as well. I know John's favorite store is Dollar tree! he can find lots of goodies there. But I was thinking about walmart gift cards that would be 5 of them if I decide to go that route. :tree::christmastree::pumpkin:
Yes it is!!Quote:

Some items, I just feel shouldn't be 'hidden' away and brought out only at Christmas. I'm like a big kid, I want all the things I treasure, right here beside me, all the time! :candycane1:
I couldnt agree more. I feel exactly like that!Quote:

I know I will never grow up and I love it!! :jumping:
Well, because I share a room with my hubby, I can only get away with a tiny decorated Christmas tree on my dresser. Well it's about 12" high. I only put it there 2 days ago. He hasn't commented yet!:christmastree:
its now feeling christmassy cause i've got the christmas chocolates in...:presents3:
seems like i begin to feel that christmas thingy right about the time the nights get cool here in dallas.our first officially cool night was about two weeks ago when it began to drop to "sweater" weather by late evening.in fact yesterday i was out at 4am & wearing a jacket would have been comfortable.but i would've felt weird walking into walmart wearing one.
september has to do with that christmassy feeling because i see halloween stuff in the stores.:pumpkin: halloween reminds me of christmas,as october 31st might as well be the first day of november.it's on november 1st (late halloween night/early nov.1st)that the tv cable channels "showcase" and sounds of the seasons" begin to broadcast christmas music and continue through the rest of the holiday season:carols:
i always look forward to that.october is also not far from thanksgiving which also reminds me of christmas.but initially,i get the 'feeling' in september and this year it was mid september.
"Cool weather" in Arizona is supposed to start today; mind you we consider anything under 100 degrees cool here! High of 95 and lows in the 60s! It may sound weird if you live somewhere cold but just the fact that it’s under 100 now I can feel Christmas coming!
Oh btw last day of September!!! :carols:
I kinda know what you mean. I have lived in Florida for 5 years, (I'm originally from Michigan) and, although we usually don't get above, say, 92 or so, since we have the high humidity, it feels a lot hotter. Well, we had a 'cold front' come in last night, which meant that when I took the kids to school this morning, it was in the 60's and low humidity. (well, low for us anyway.) I can't tell you how wonderful it felt. I can't honestly say it made me feel Christmas, but that is partially because I know it will only last for a couple days and then the hot weather will be back again and partially because of having lived most of my life in Michigan. I'll tell ya, it takes some getting used to, going Christmas shopping in shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals. lol.Quote:

It may have something to do with this forum, but I am starting to feel it now. It is more autumny here now(rains quite a bit) and I am wearing warmer clothing.
I think autumn does not want to visit my country, this year... 30c today in a really hot day...Quote:

LOL...my family and friends are used to me and my love for all things classic sci-fi/horror and Christmas, so right now, the living room is kind of an odd mix of Autumn/Halloween/Christmas! :jumping:

:yahoo:
Let's see, in the kitchen, I have several Santa/Mrs Claus/snowmen/Peanuts salt and pepper shakers displayed on our hutch. In the living room, I have my Rudolph village pieces, some Christmasy snow globes, a White Christmas musical snow globe, three pieces of a Nativity set that my Grandma painted in ceramics as well as some other 'Rudolph' pieces. Upstairs, I have Rudolph pieces, Charlie Brown/Peanuts pieces, Frosty pieces, Flintstones pieces on display as well as a Santa Claus (1959) original film poster, two lobby cards from the film on display and some various other Christmas pieces. Christmas is never completely over, in this house. LOLQuote:
