I have Christmas songs blaring in the office! My boss made me a bunch of cd's of Christmas songs and I am playing them really loud~ it puts you in the mood for Christmas! I love it! It is all kinds of different ones!

I LOVE Christmas music too. We have a local radio station that is playing all Christmas till Christmas.

Havent even bought the first present or put any decorations up, but sure have my Christmas music turned up!

We have a radio station here that is also playing Christmas music all day everyday until Christmas and it is all I have been listening too..I got my house decorated and the yard decorated and all of my presents are bought and wrapped just waiting to go under the tree which we will get this weekend! I know I'm anal thats what OCD ( obesessive compulsive disorder) does to a person

I have my presents mostly bought - for the first time in years! I've been saying every year, 'I'm going to start early next year.' Well I did this year! I've got them wrapped and I have myself a little tree for my apartment which I haven't begun to put up or find decorations, so the rest of the season will be spent actually having fun decorating my new tree.

You gals are too darn good! I haven't bought the first present or put up the first decoration. I have to get busy on the decorations though because the 11th I have a party here and I have lots to do!

I do have music though!

I heard the college bells chiming Christmas carols when we walked this evening. So beautiful! We have our outside decorations up, several gifts bought, and inside stuff still to finish up. I bought a new "skinny" Christmas tree to replace the 25 year old one. It's so pretty, has little pine cones, bark, and is prelit. Going to a Christmas party Friday night, and Sunday to a December wedding. Got to go put that new Christmas cd on, Betty!

I've got everything EXCEPT the Christmas tunes going! I guess I need to find the box that they are packed in so that my Christmas decor has the sounds to go along with! I'm ahead of the game this year most likely because it the first time I have not been working. It will be nice NOT to be doing last minute shopping!

I'm listening to Andy Williams as I type in the office. I love Christmas music. Bing Crosby's White Christmas is my absolute favorite. Haven't started my shopping yet (I am one of those last minute shoppers - that's when I find all the good sales).

One of my daughter's keeps asking me what I what for Christmas. She said she would not buy me clothes since I grow out of them so quick.

Wow! Some of you are so on top of things! I actually got a good start this year. I think I have extra energy. I have to hold off on the Christmas music because it drives my family crazy. I would listen to it constantly, though. Maybe I'll start today.

I am decorating this weekend while my step-daughter paints my bathroom to earn shopping money. Yeah! Our house finally looks good enough to have company -- and so do I! I am looking forward to social occasions for the first time in years.

Your tree sounds very pretty, Betty. My favorite thing is the big inflatable snowman I got last year. The kids love it. It sure runs up the electric bill, but it makes all us kids very happy. :laugh

Gonna put on the Christmas music and see what the boys say.

Most of the presents bought and wrapped, tree up and decorated. I have to hold off on the music though, I'm always sick of it by the time Christmas actually gets here, LOL!!!

I have most of presents bought but not wrapped. I do a Christmas Tree Trimming party every year. We have a huge area where we put our tree. Last year we got a 9ft tree and the year before we had a 13 ft tree. We invite lots of our friends over and the only requirement is to bring one ornament to decorate the tree with. Then we all decorate the tree together. SO much fun. Lots of libation as well. It is a wonder the tree gets decorated at all. Here is a pic of last years tree.

Just like I like them, lots and lots of lights! Berry, berry pretty!

Well. I got my recumbent bike today. Wound up staying home all day waiting on UPS to deliver. sigh... Now, it's all over my living room and I'm trying to figure how to make things fit. I really could use some help, but I am NOT a quitter. I'll get it together. While I was waiting, I went ahead and pulled my itty bitty 4ft tree out and put it together. It's pre-lit and little, but I'm glad I got it. I haven't put one up now for nearly 6 yrs, since my divorce.

I wanna go to Penni's...

Hey anyone that wants to come for the Tree trimming party just let me know. We have room. I usually have it either the 18th or 19th that is a Saturday or Sunday. Typically we have it on Sunday. So seriously if anyone wants to help decorate and just visit then come on down. Loads of fun.

Party! :Bunny Wish you were a little closer or had picked an easier time of the year. Ha! :laugh

Yeah this is an annual event around here for us. So I thought I would extend the invite to you guys as well. I know it is hard to travel for somethign like this during this time of year, but wanted to invite you guys anyway.

There is always the March Bash for the 5K walk.
