Entry FeedNo, I haven't gone to see the new Jim Carrey movie. I am just not in the mood to start getting ready for Christmas.
I have at least 3 dozen people on my list, Christmas baking, cards to be sent, preparing and decorating the home etc, etc, etc.
Really, I would LOVE to take the $5000 + that we spend on Christmas every year and run away to some Island with the Husband and kids. Does that make me a Scrooge? I think that Christmas is so over done. All of the work, money and prep for one day (sort of like those Bridezillas who go over board for one day)
I love the idea of spending time with my friends and family and sharing some Christmas Cheer. I actually love Christmas trees, though I hate the decorating and undecorating (especially the undecorating).
I love watching the kids all excited opening their stockings and gifts on Christmas morning. I hate that a month of shopping and wrapping is over in an hour, and all of the gifts that they wanted and needed are never played with after New Years.
I don't know how to bring Christmas down a notch (or two or three).
Here we are, a month away, and I haven't written my list or bought a single present. In fact, I was still eating the Halloween candy left overs this morning. Bah Humbug.
