Do You Have the Christmas Spirit? 100%

Your Christmas spirit is almost as big as Christmas itself. Christmas is definitely your thing.
You celebrate Christmas with enthusiasm. You love every minute of the holidays.

Your Christmas spirit is inspiring to everyone who runs into you during the holidays.
You make everyone's day just a little bit brighter. And that's what the holidays are all about!

Of course!
We're all Christmas nuts.

A Christmas themed Monopoly game would be great!
I guess you could by it on Amazon this time of year.
Great idea!!!

We don't send out one, but we still receive a couple each Christmas.

No bells here, although I agree with you and it would be nice to hear on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I guess the ringing of the bells is one of those "days gone by" events that we will never see again.

There has got to be a small town out there that still rings the bells on Christmas Eve and Day.
There just has to be!

Good morning all!
I hope you all are doing well. Michelle and I went to Hilton Head Island on Friday and Saturday and had a really great time together. We went to the beach both days and did a little sight seeing and shopping. I even found 3 or 4 Christmas stores. One of them kept their store so cold I thought it might snow in there. I'm back at work today but still dreaming of a white Christmas.

Be blessed my friends!

Christmas Vrazy I am so glad you enjoyed your weekend getaway with Michelle. And finding 4 Christmas stores is wonderful! Feeling cold again sounds like a dream to me. :flake:

For some reason, they are playing Holiday Inn on tv at work. I am dancing quietly along with Fred Astaire as I work. I think the songs make the babies smile! A little Christmas in our heart always makes the day brighter. :D

Oh a co-worker just said she saw large unopened boxes of Christmas items at the back of Hobby Lobby this weekend. That means Christmas shopping will start in about one month. A great surprise!! :shop:

Does your local radio station play Christmas in July music each summer? Mine does not..........but back home in small towns they do just that. :singing:

Anyone else working on Christmas crafts? I want a new wreath for our front door this Christmas? When Michael's & Hobby Lobby display 2016 items I plan on stocking up to create a new lighted wreath. :D

You will have to let me know which ones are the best, so I can look for them on alternate sources. I love Christmas in July Movies!

We are off on our Cruise tomorrow, back on Thursday! Hope to get some Christmas shopping done for the Texas family while we are away. :shop:


Enjoy your cruise Jolly. I hope it is as much fun as Christmas in July. Who is watching Zoe & Zelda?


That turned into a problem. Never heard back from neighbor. We left extra food and water. It is only two days they will be without attention. I worry now that something has happened to our neighbor. Will have to make arrangements to board the cats for the Texas trip. Less Christmas fun.

A wig might be safer. Then if something goes wrong you won't go to work looking like a Christmas clown. :elfgrin:

I've been in 2 Hobby Lobby stores last week that already started putting out Christmas decorations.
I get so excited when I walk in there.
