I love Christmas, my favorite holiday of the year! I've been wanting to decorate my place for the past 2 weeks but have been able to hold off on it. But today, it hit me and I am feeling in full Christmas spirit!

I know, I know "It's not even Thanksgiving yet..."

Oh well... anyone else getting into the spirit?

My Mom has almost all of her shopping and wrapping done. Today she is organizing her Christmas card list. We do not have an decorations up and won't until after Thanksgiving but she is really into it this year. I haven't even started thinking about it.

Christmas is my favorite holiday as well, but I generally wait to until Thanksgiving dinner is over before I can really get into the spirit of the season.

I like to get through my holidays one at a time. I don't even think about Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving.

I don't like the fact that Christmas makes people tell others what they want as a gift and how they return things they don't like. I also don't like when people share with me that they feel an obligation to buy gifts for people.

I do love giving gifts to my family knowing they appreciate the thought and gesture behind it.

I bet you've given a lot of socks as Christmas gifts. :)

Day after Thanksgiving I am all about Christmas, but not until then. I have picked up a few gifts though.

LOL my wife and I adopted a needy family and are supporting their Christmas, we've already went through like 1000 bucks on presents. Yeah I'm feeling the spirit.

FYI the family has 9 Kids and its 2 65 year old grandparents whose 2 sons died and they adopted all their grandkids.

That is very nice of you. What the holiday is all about!! I wish I could do the same, but being a poor college student it really is not an option.

jc can vouch that I was a poor college student 3 years ago. It gets better when you graduate and get a job. Work sucks though.

My wife gets mad every year that I wait until the last couple weeks to buy her gift. She has had my Christmas gift for this year since the middle of October.

We are pretty much done shopping for everyone, all thats left is my gift for her.
