What do you do to get in the spirit?

I think the main thing for me is listening to the music. I dunno what it is, but there is just something about Christmas music that other music just doesnt have. Waking up on a cold December morning, lighting up the fire and listening to the festive music - nothing beats it!

I also have quite a fetish with taking photographs around the Holiday season. It's a time when family's are together and can enjoy themselves, especially since the majority of my family are moving up in age. In years to come, I know I'll always be able to look back at the photographs and remember all the good times.

I agree that there's something that Christmas music has that other music doesn't have (even if it's just my associations). I'm not really a fan of the regular Christian music I've heard, usually it's too slow or something for me. But, I love Christmas music!

(and lighting a fire in the morning sounds fabulous to me!)

I've realised now that I don't really need anything to get into the festive spirit, I just seem to do it naturally

What I love doing though is just watching all Christmas episodes of my favourite shows. I think we'll have to start the Christmas fund soon too; that'll make it even more festive I also love ordering all my new release DVDs online and then just enjoy them being sent each week.

I want to add Fred Clause to my collection this year and white christmas on dvd.

When it gets cool! It's currently 103 degrees here in Az (at 9:40 pm!) and when the temperature dips into the 70's at night, its offically the holiday season

Wow, what would your typical Christmas Day be like?

I love both of those movies. I love to listen to Christmas music, shop, wrap gifts and decorate of course.

I wish Thanksgiving were warmer (we're in the 30's or 40's at that point, I believe). Actually, I wish our Thanksgiving was at the same time as Canada's- in October. I would love to eat outside at a long table with the leaves changing colors around me. Like it probably was at the first Thanksgiving.
