Having Repented...

... I can now get into the Christmas spirit. No, it's not wintery, but I'm not going to let that get in the way. I heard you playing "My Heart Bleeds For You" on the world's smallest violin, so I'll not complain about the weather anymore.

I've been listening to Christmas music shamelessly since early November, but it wasn't until we got out all the Christmas books last night that things changed. (See here for a great post on Christmas books.) We also put up some of the decorations we brought with us, and NOW we feel more holiday cheer. Part of it was watching the kids get really excited about their favorite books, sit down and pour over them until their eyes were all sparkly.

Magic.

I love having little ones - it truly is magical for them...and a little bit of that magic rubs off on Scott and me. Happy days!

It was 62 degrees here yesterday. I'm having a hard time getting into the spirit as well. The tree is up and I started listening to Christmas music on Pandora yesterday. I realized that the only Christmas cd I have is the John Denver, Muppet Christmas album. Nice but not enough. Justin keeps unplugging the tree when we're not in the room, so as not to waste electricity. Have a great one!! we miss you!

Jen: Amen.
Sarah: If only your string of lights had a motion sensor. Maybe I'll make you a mix cd. What's your style?

Sarah said...

Ok- you asked for it! I have wildly eclectic taste. Pandora is great, but they still can't get me right because I'm a square peg. I also like the website Musicovery.
