    You know it's Christmas when......

    Fill in the blank..........
    When do you know it's Christmas?

    For me - it's when the Ov-Glove and Chia Pet commercials start saturating the t.v. Don't forget "The Clapper" too! The jewelry and luxury car commercials seem to have gotten an early start this year - I've been seeing them for weeks already!

    What absolutely annoying (or otherwise) thing(s) lets you know that the holidays are here - other than the obvious Christmas decorations in the stores that start around Halloween?????

    .... when there's a mile long queue outside the best tea shop in town. I love the one called "White Tempel tea".

    The commercials for sure! One I really hate is the one with the annoying Target lady, and the one that repeats "the lights" 80 times!! Drives me nuts!

    Don't forget when you receive christmas cards from people you haven't spoken to in years!

    The neighborhood is lit up with Holiday lights. We have several neighbors that go all out. It's cool!
    Then I know it's time to put my Trans Siberian Orchestra CD's in my car.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    You know its Christmas when Derek (6 year old grandson) wants to help grandma decorate her 4' tree. We put it on a foot stool (it is a fake tree with its trunk set in a plaster tub) & start with the lights & they have to be the colored blinky lights. Then come the strings of decorative red apples. Then the old plastic star that doesn't light up & I was told to invest in one that does. Then all the ornaments made by Derek's dad & uncle over the years get put on along with some special ones from grandma & grandpa. This is the second year we have done this so I think it could become a tradition.
    The frost is on the pumpkin & I've been BOO'D by two pet talk ghosts.
    Thank you Fritz & Cassiesmom

    Ahh, Classical meets Heavy Metal. I do listen to some of their music. I prefer Mannheim Steamroller, 17th century classical rock. But TSO does a nice Carol of the Bells.
