Game On!

Y’all, it’s Christmas now! I don’t have to pretend to be all “Oh I’m not even ready for Christmas this year. Grumble grumble bah humbug…” I can come out of the Christmas closet in a full blaze of red and green glory.

Sadly, my Christmas tree did not arrive on Wednesday. Its new estimated arrival date is Monday. Luckily Jake will be in town that day to put it in the stand for me. The trick will be to wait for him to decorate it. If he wants me to. Maybe he doesn’t care. I’ll have to check. But even without the tree, I totally plan to get the mantle decorated this weekend and get my Christmas villages up. I even plan to force Jake to get the outdoor lights  put out. We don’t hang lights since our house is two stories. Instead we use red and green floodlights pointed up the house.  Easy, subtle, Christmas-y.

I want to get all my Christmas movies and specials out. I almost bought the Charlie Brown box set just to have the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in one box. But I opted to save that $36. But I do have Elf, A Christmas Story,  It’s a Wonderful Life, Christmas Vacation, and a few TV specials I think. Might just have to bust them out tonight. But I don’t want to blow my Christmas spirit too early.

Someone give me a tranquilizer. I’m way too Christmas-y for my own damn good.
