What do you do to get in the spirit?

[HollyJollyChristmas]

Well, every Christmas I always watch Christmas Vacation. I do not know exactly why I do that. but I've found that I also enjoy the movie Chistmas with the Kranks. So are there any special things that you do to get in the Christmas spirit?

Listening to Christmas music is probably the biggest thing I do to get me in the Christmas spirit. I have a lot of Christmas CDs that I've bought and made over the years and enjoy singing along with them while we decorate, wrap presents or just do things around the house. I also love watching Christmas movies. Elf is probably my favorite to watch, but Christmas Vacation is right up there with it. I also enjoy Christmas With The Kranks. I also enjoy taking my family to look at Christmas lights...there's nothing like loading up in the car, turning on some Christmas music and riding around town looking at twinkle lights (as my DW calls them).

Home Alone 1 & 2 and Elf are my favourite Christmas films. You also can't beat - "It's A Wonderful Life".

To get into the spirit, I visit many different Christmas sites, listen to Christmas music, and when it's available drink eggnog!

You know, I've never tried eggnog...don't think I'd like it.

It don't take much to get me in the christmas mood . I love to listen to christmas music and wrap presents. I start my presents early in fact I pretty much have for my greats and the ladies for next year already and only need 5 gift cards and the snack foods for the couch potato basket yet to buy to be done this year. It helps me to be prepared early. As We have a limited income!.
