Today on my way to work I discoverd that a local radio station has begun its annual Christmas Themed programming. Meaning, all Christmas music, all the time. I cannot tell you how excited I was driving to work on a cloudy Saturday morning, drinking my coffee and listening to Christmas music.
I am of the opinion that there is no finer holiday season than the Christmas season. It's not about the presents, in case you're wondering. For me, Christmas has always been magical and beautiful. When they're not out in a mall shopping, people just seem nicer, or want to try to be better people anyway.
I love the lights, the music, the snow, the cold winter nights cuddling on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and a good movie on. I love seeing my kids so excited. I love storefront decorations, and mall window shopping. I love hot soup and comfort food. I love the idea of peace on earth and good will towards men.
Most of all, I love "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "It's a Wonderful Life", "The Grinch", and all the holiday cartoon/claymation favorites (Frosty and Rudolph anyone?).
I love the fact that on my wedding day (December 16th) the church was decorated with poinsetta's and it snowed. The reception hall had a tree with lights on it and we played Christmas Carols during cocktail hour. It was a perfect day.
The Christmas season has begun, and with 3 kids, it doesn't get any better than this.

If you liked Christemas so much... THEN WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN IT FOR STEPHANIE AND ME!!! HAD TO TELL US THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS. YOU SUCK!
Ha! I like your brothers comment. Did you blow the Santa myth? My MOM and Dad said that if we didn't believe in Santa then he wouldn't come anymore. I still believe! It is a magical holiday in so many ways. I think there is a 24/7 radio station out here in the sticks too.
