It's December 1!

Now the countdown begins in the Groovy household. The younglings have a calendar to mark off the days until Christmas (not an Advent calendar, just something I printed off the Internet), and now I can dig out the Christmas music and movies and listen to the Christmas music on the radio.

Some stations had started playing the Christmas stuff way before Thanksgiving, and I just can't get burned out, know what I mean?

So, once Daughter is down for her nap, I'll get my most favorite Christmas movie out to watch: Holiday Inn. It isn't really a Christmas movie, I guess, but it's one I love to watch every year...every day of December for that matter. I mean, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire!

And yes, we do watch Home Alone, The Santa Clause, Miracle on 34th Street (the original black and white version), and let's not forget Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey! Oh the sob fest when I watch that! "Ears Nestor!"

The best, my most favorite of all those Rankin/Bass Christmas shows is Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. No matter how old I get, I still have to sit down with the younglings and watch that.

The Christmas music! Have you heard Harry Connick Jr's When My Heart Finds Christmas CD? I looooove it, and oddly enough, Husband likes it too. And I'll get out my Time-Life collections too...

But when am I decorating? I have no idea. Husband wants a live tree this year and we have to find a nursery or tree farm. (We want to have a row of evergreens along the East side of our house.) I told Husband if he wants a real tree that's fine, but he's got clean up. I prefer a nice artificial...and I did get him that six foot fiber optic nightmare he wanted. Oh well.

"They call me Heat Miser, what ever I touch starts to melt in my clutch. I'm too much!"
