With precisely two weeks left until Christmas Eve today it's about time to start getting into a Christmas-spirit of sorts. I know I don't get into that spirit easily and need something to help me along. For me it is (cheezy as it might be), the movie Love Actually. And wrapping Christmas presents.
So I was wondering - What puts you in the proper mood to celebrate Christmas?
I've wrapped all presents except the edibles, I've made all candy and the quornballs, I've watched Gremlings and The Muppets Christmas Carol and put up the few decorating things that we're going to have up. Oh, and it's snow enough to drown outside.
Am I in the Christmas spirit? No... not really. I sort of look forward to Christmas but I wouldn't say that I feel any Christmasy feelings.
Very true! According to the "expert critics" in my family, aka mother I overdecorate the Christmas tree. Which is total poppycock since there is no such thing as an overdecorated Christmas tree. If you still see some tree there it's not done.
