Christmas Nazi ... not so much
I fear I have lost my Christmas spirit. A month ago I was so excited for Christmas I could hardly stand it! I wanted to put up the Christmas tree the first weekend in November - but alas, my sister Bonnie, would not let me. So we set the date - the tree would be put up on Nov. 19. So before that day I got out all the decorations, to see what we had to put on the tree. Bonnie came up with the fantastic idea - "let's do pink & silver". I absolutely loved the idea, (which also made me happy b/c it meant we wouldn't have to use her ugly tree topper - mine is silver! MUH HAHAHAHA...)
The week before the tree was to go up I became more excited everyday. I made shortbread cookies & was in the Christmas mood. I went to Walmart and bought new ornaments to match our theme. Nov. 19 came and we put up the tree. Wasn't as exciting as I thought it was going to be. Within the next week we had pretty much all the gifts bought, wrapped and placed under the tree. And after that - my enthusiasm faded. All the fun stuff was finished. There wasn't much else to do.
Last week I decided maybe I would start listening to Christmas music - to lift my spirits. So I found some "Holiday Pop" on the internet, I listened to three songs and shut it off. All of the songs were slow. What kind of Christmas music is that? I want Christmas music that is upbeat and cheery! Not slow, put you to sleep kind of music! I was not pleased. And still nothing seemed to brighten my spirit! I want to break out my own Christmas cds, but now that I'm not excited very much, I feel its now too early to listen to the Christmas tunes. I should really bake another batch of shortbread cookies - but I just don't even feel the point of it. And just this past weekend I attended a couple friends' Christmas Black Tie Gala. Fun! And I thought, "What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! This will help me!" Well, it didn't. It was a great party, but I'm still suffering from a lack of Christmas spirit.
My next step is to start watching Christmas movies. I hope this will help me. And if it doesn't, I guess I'm pretty much doomed.
After Halloween I really was so pumped about Christmas and even half became the Christmas Nazi, just like Isabel in the Roswell Christmas episodes. But all the excitement has faded. Oh, I did buy a little Toblerone and some Whoppers yesterday, but they haven't helped.
Alright, it's time to end the madness of this blog.
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night.
