You know it's almost Christmas when...

When this comes on!
(Whatever would the holidays be without it?)

You know it's almost Christmas when...

Even the dogs are partaking in festivities!

You Know it's almost Christmas when....

People have no shame in dancing around a mall to their ipod, decked out in a snazzy Christmas sweater.

Friday Contemplations

-Nothing like a violent snowball fight to kick off the season.
-And from 1895, no doubt!
-Right now, it is cold enough to snow.
-I saw snow outside last night, but not enough.
-I like socks... To an extent.
-Da-ang, I think I've fallen into that weird zone of youtube. Yet Again.
-Have I entered... The Twilight Zone?
-Holy mother of something, I think so.
-Enjoy having that song stuck in your head until the end of time.
-You're welcome.
-I am really on a video kick today.
-I wanna start running/walking every morning.
-I thought that to myself as I lay in bed this morning.
-At quarter to eight.
-Precisely.
-fufufufuh.
-And no, that was not the beginnings of the questionably(?) dreaded f-word.
-Incase you were wondering.
-But probably not.
-As in anybody does anymore, nowadays.
-I saw that in a play once, and every so often that just randomly pops into my head.
-Like now.
-Fufufufufh.
-Nutcracker Suite.
-Christmas.
-Ahhh.
-Starbucks holiday drinks.
-Funny how the popularity of them can bring in the holiday spirit with full force.
-"Oh my gosh, Starbucks has their peppermint mocha out, it must be almost Christmas! Aaah!"
-I had that last year as an iced drink, and it was soooo good.
-There is a bluejay outside who knows where to get his peanuts.
-Such majestic creatures.
-Trust your gut.
-The Sound of Moussaka.
-Okrahoma!
-The King and Wine.
-Oh dear, I'm at it again. Only with Rogers and Hammerstein musicals.
-Ich bin hier fertig. (Trans: I am finished here.)

From here

I heard it this morning.

First Christmas song. Of the season. On the radio. Eeeeeeee!!!

(We're getting closer...!!!)

Mid-Christmas Thoughts

-Animals singing "Jingle Bells", and "Deck the Halls". Corny? Maybe, but ever so enjoyable to watch.

-It's going to be a quiet Christmas this year. I'm looking forward to this.

-Hope everyone liked my gifts.

-Red velvet cheese cake. Yum.

-Turkey!

-Still remembering my best present ever from Santa. Also seen in last year's post.

-Some tea would be nice right now.

-I need more moisturizer for my hands; the weather is making them pitifully dry.

-I was gearing up for the Doctor Who Christmas special tonight, only to find out it is on Sunday night. Alas. I envy those of you in the UK.

-Easy A is a funny movie.

-What am I going to do with my life?

-Blah blah blah.

-Thought I'd get through painting my nails perfectly. But no.

-Hello curly hair. It's been a while.

-Haven't seen A Christmas Story yet this year on tv. What is this??? "A center for ants??!"

-Mr. Bean.

-If I could be a part of The Nutcracker ballet, I think I would be a snowflake. Even if I can't really choose myself

-After today, no more Christmas songs on the radio. Sadness.

-How truly lucky I am to be where I am today! Really, though, I feel pretty thankful for all I have and the peeps that surround me.

-Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around. Love Actually

Have a wonderful Christmas!
