It's officially the Christmas season!

Thanks to the good weather we had yesterday, hubby got the lights on the house! Unfortunately the icicle lights weren't all working, so we didn't have enough to stretch across the entire front. BUT we have some multicolor C9s that we've never used, and they were long enough. So for the first time, our house has multicolor lights. I was looking at the house across the street, with its three windows upstairs and two downstairs, with a wreath on each one. I love that. They also have the icicle lights, lights on the shrubs, and a Christmas tree made of lights. I want my house to look like that! Would it be wrong to select our next house based on how I can decorate it at Christmas?

With the lights on the house, the tree up (lights and ornaments today--woo hoo!), and Christmas music playing throughout the house, we're now full-on Christmas! I wish it wasn't too early to start baking. But since I've almost finished shopping for the kids, I can start wrapping soon! Maybe hubby and I can enjoy some time together on Christmas Eve this year that doesn't involve wrapping presents until 1:30 a.m.

So maybe I am a Christmas nut. I admit it. Don't care who knows. My daughter and I have already watched It's a Wonderful Life, and we're making plans to watch Miracle on 34th Street. I missed How the Grinch Stole Christmas on TBS the other day, and I was so bummed! (Even though I own it.) I love sitting down with the kids and watching the same shows I watched at their age.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...
