Bah Humbug!

Christmas is rapidly approaching and I have to admit I've been having some trouble getting into the holiday spirit this year. I'm not sure if it's the recession taking the fun out of shopping or the 60-degree days making it feel more like spring than December, but something is different. But now with the first snowfall of the year last night and today's company gift swap, it finally feels like the holidays to me and I'm excited!

I'm looking forward to watching Christmas Vacation and Elf over and over and over again, going to see the tree in Rockefeller Center, baking Christmas cookies, egg nog, hot chocolate, hanging out fireside and having 11 days off!
