.....Can't believe it's this time of year again!

Well I've gone and done it, I have put the Christmas CD on for the first time! It's November 25th, that's right only one month until Christmas. I am a bit disgusted and extremely happy as well. Christmas and I have a love/ hate relationship. I will not get to deep on how I sometimes can hate this joyous season. Truely I can't beliieve how quickly this year has gone by. Christmas always comes upon us so quickly even though we have all year to get ready for the season, we always seem surprised when it comes closer. One of most favorite things about Christmas has to be the Muppets. I generally have a marathon of Muppet Christmas Movies, to kick off the holiday season. I definately think that Christmas shows are one of my favorite things about Christmas. After listening to the CD for a bit now, I have to say Christmas music is also another one. I have also already bought my mini Christmas tree for the apartment. I have started doing my christmas cards, so I guess really I am not really procrastinating this year as much as I thought. This will be my second Christmas away from home. I am definately a bit sad about that but I do think it will be alot better then being on the ship for Christmas. It is just about missing family and friends. Well Christmas celebrations on the ship were okay but working on Christmas day as a seaday was definately not a joy. I still need to get my advent calendar, a tradition that my mom started for me and I seem to carry on. Why wouldn't I, it's chocolate! Yesterday was what they call "Black Friday", the busiest shopping day of the year for those of you who don't live in the mountains. I hope you got some great deals and I wish you all the best as we prepare yet again for the Holidays!
