Yes, I admit that I have an addiction to Christmas. I'm already done with my Christmas shopping (don't hate me) and I spend my time listening to things like Choral Christmas by Cusco .

I love everything about Christmas and last year was the first year I 'felt' Christmas here. It's tough when you grew up with snowstorms and sledding around the holidays, and now there's palm trees and short-sleeved shirts! I've had to do a lot of creative things to help my poor New-England-at-heart self feel Christmas Spirit vs. Christmas Depression, including buying a faux fireplace, pine smelling air freshener and candles, dimming the lights and lighting tons of candles so I can get the illusion of a dark winter's night...

Why am I writing about this? I have no idea, other than then fact I'm listening to Christmas Treasures by the London Symphony Orchestra and want the holidays to get here! Well, that and I'm procrastinating because I don't feel like writing my notes for work today...
