Christmas Me-Me
I love Christmas! It's my favorite holiday even though folks complain about how commercial it is. I choose not to chase after Christmas sales and stress myself out. I choose not to stand in line and get agitated. I choose "peace on earth and goodwill toward men" LOL.During the holiday season, I just get this warm feeling inside. I am at peace. I am content. I am thankful.

18. Ice skating or walking around the mall? I can be found in the mall AFTER the holiday madness. Ice skating - not me!
19. Favorite Christmas memory? Me and my sisters opened our gifts before Christmas and tried to rewrap them. My mom was not fooled - nor was she amused. We also didn't have Christmas that year! LOL

Why am I so not in the Christmas spirit yet. If it wasn't for my niece I'd probably not even go home *and just live with hearing my Mom bytchin about it!* I can't even attempt this Me-Me cause I am so Bah-Humbug!
But you are so cheerful about it...ugh!! LOL!!
I love this time of year *in general*! These past few years have been blah to say the least. I am desperately trying to get into the spirit and with enough egg-nog I just might be able to pull it off! HA!
I went to a Christmas party in DC last night, and best believe they had carolers. They sounded horrible.
You've probably never been kissed under the mistletoe because you don't hang it... Just an observation, Happy Holidays!!!
