It Looks Loike Christmas Now

I'm never in the mood for Christ,as until Christmas eve or until the first snow. I hate snow but I like looking at it. We haven't had any snow here yet so I'm not in the mood yet. I have not shopped yet either. We are pretty broke this year, as are a lot of others, so we are going to be using a few outreach programs to get gifts for our kids this year. I feel bad about it but they are young enough that they won't know the difference.

Wow, snow and here I sit with my air conditioner on. We may get in the upper 30's sat. night/sunday morning though.....good sleeping weather. I am in the looking to buy stage of Christmas shopping, trying to decide what to get for who. Not sure why it is so hard to buy for men. haha

Well to tell you the truth I am not in the holiday spirt yet. I did not even start shopping yet for all my grandkids. I know I better start soon. Maybe I will get in the mood once I put up my Christmas tree...

Hey, I thought you waited until after Thanksgiving like I do? Maybe I misunderstood, but I don't put up decorations let alone turn the lights on until after Thanksgiving, but I will look and comment on your picture, because I do like looking at lights.. And I noticed the Santa hat too, you are ready aren't you..???

Wow you really took that late at night or very early in the morning. whoever you want to look at it... Do you ever sleep? The house looks very nice with all the snow. I like snow in pictures and on TV other then that I am not a fan of it at all!

Man it's Christmas over there early, isn't it? haha I haven't bought any gift yet. I will be home alone for Christmas for two weeks and I need all the money for my plane ticket to my girlfriend for upcoming summer!

gosh you are really early for christmas aren't you? nobody has decorated around here yet though.

I even have presents that are wrapped and ready to go. I even have one for you already. But im saving my money now for Black Friday......did mom talk to mohammed so she can go with me this year?

I have done alot of shopping already but my house only looks like Christmas in the boxes I have ready for this weekend....I can't wait though. The first snow I wanted to put up the tree! LOL

We don't have any snow on the ground here in southeren Nebraska right now. It is suppose to be 50 degrees too! I have not done any Chirstma shopping I have been browseing online just to get some ideas though. I probaly won't go Christmas shopping until the beginning of next month.

I haven't got into the Christmas spirit since it was 80 today..doesn't help me much..now give me a few days said we suppose to get a cold front..I hope so..

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Ah! Santa is here early, hehe, your lights are so beautiful with the snow as well, don't think we will get any snow as its not very cold these days, I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet and its very scarey that I will have to worry about all that in a few days time. Tamara

Wow Christmas is literally over a month away, but I see you doing it up over there. It don't even snow where I'm at and it's still jumping between warm and a little chill on some nights.It's really hard to believe that it's Fall, you know I'll have a hard time believing that Christmas is right around the corner.The only shopping I'm doing is buying my baby toys,clothes and whatever else she needs, but I do that all year around.

Hey grandpa bob! It sure does look like Christmas up in your neck of the woods! You have the perfect house and grounds to have that Christmas postcard look! I told you that with snow your house is postcard perfect. You got a great shot of the snow on the lights! If I lived there I would be standing outside freezing, but staring at those lights for hours! You are right about it being mesmerizing! I love to see how the twinkle with the snow on it! And I love the new Santa hat! Wait till Savanna sees grandpa now! She's going to have the best Christmas ever!

hey gb, we havent had much snow, just a few flakes in the air which is good because i hope to hold it off as long as possible! :-) we live in a town house where the snow gets shovelled for us, but after a heavy snow fall they dont come til the next to shovel it out. ick!

Not really in the mood at the moment. My hubby wants me to work more hours (only working part time now) and I worry about my son and who's going to take care of him afterschool. We shall see! I have done some shopping but have a few more gifts to buy. I better get onto it as I have to send them overseas.

I will look at the photo after I post this. We are warm still but the last two days we have gotten the tooley fog. It is the thick fog that sits on the ground and makes visibility very limited for driving. The last two days the visibility was 0 feet. That is so bad and that is when we usually have a lot of accidents. Yesterday my husband saw a bad accident and by the time he saw it it was to late to stop and to dangerous to turn around and go back. The fog sets in around 4am and stays until 12 noon and sometimes never leaves. It is so cold and depressing when we do not get the sun.

For me Christmas season starts as long as the month that ends with "ber" starts.

You're getting me inspired to drag out our Christmas stuff this weekend and decorate. I love the holidays and absolutely love a long Christmas. When we were little, my parents used to decorate about 10 days before Christmas. It just seemed like so much work for such a little amount of time to enjoy it. So when I moved out on my own, I made an executive decision to decorate early so I could enjoy the lights and the tree longer. We usually dig our Christmas stuff out around Thanksgiving, but with this year's Turkey Day being the last part of the month, I may dig out my stuff this weekend and begin the decorating process a bit early. It'll be our 5 month old's first Christmas also. She'll be too young to enjoy it, but it's exciting for DH and me to think about her first Christmas. A co-worker does embroidery and is going to embroider a stocking for her with her name on it that matches my DH's and my stocking.

I live in Australia so it's the hottest time of the year now. I'm only comfortable at home with my airconditioner! :P I put all of my christmas prezzies on layby a couple of months ago. That way I can just put money on it every couple of weeks until it's paid off.
