And so the countdown begins...

Yes I'm a couple of days late to start the official countdown for Christmas (I should have done this yesterday) but I thought it would be nice to say something at all. I was working on the 25th and got my first "Merry Christmas". A whole month before the actual day and a whole 6 days before December... and there's not even any snow! I don't understand why "The Holiday Season" has to start so early in the year; I'm sick of it already. Now if you've known me for a while or at least known me through a holiday, you'll understand where I'm coming from in terms of why holidays suck and that I actually HATE Christmas (if you worked in a mall year round and saw Christmas trees in October you'd be sick of it too.....).

So, I've decided that this year I will not put up the tree. I refuse too. It's too much of a bother, I'm not home to enjoy it, I have no time to put it up/take it down, plus the cat would probably eat it. So I'm not doing it. Phil and I have decided that the presents will be going on the arm chair in the corner of the living room and that's it. No lights, no wreaths, no baubbles, no creepy Santas in the window or on the lawn. Probably going to be the easiest and most enjoyable Holiday ever... or at least that's what I'm dreaming.

I'm not even panicked that I haven't started shopping yet and I'm not worried about it. I'll get to it eventually. I just like to sit around and laugh at everyone who dishes out too much money for one stupid day. *sigh* I'm turning into a disgruntled old marm aren't I?
