While we<br /> decorate it we'll probably play some ghod awful xmas music by Frank, Ella, Gladys Knight, Ray Chuck & maybe Elvis...just 'cuz we love the voices...<br /><br />Sometimes I wish I'd been raised pagan.paulghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403056340935138611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-26485289459095936702011-12-11T13:47:29.835-05:002011-12-11T13:47:29.835-05:00That's the thing, Arleen.

We all know the words by heart, but we laugh out loud throughout. <br /><br />This might be hard to believe, but this year was the first time that I watched the entire "It's a Wonderful Life." It was truly "wonderful". Even though the acting is dated, Jimmy Stewart was wonderful. Why did I wait so long. <br /><br />Movies do put me in the mood to be jolly and festive and even though I have reached the senior citizen status, there is still joy left in my heart.<br /><br />Just love your last line.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-28857816628304262882011-12-11T10:56:10.374-05:002011-12-11T10:56:10.374-05:00I know what you mean.

I barely did it one year and realized how important it was to me, so here I am in the thick of it again. Now that I have a system it's not so stressful but it still takes a lot to get in the mood.Austanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568578637922817033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-63323872743773510112011-12-11T10:20:14.756-05:002011-12-11T10:20:14.756-05:00Every year it seems to take more and more effort t...Every year it seems to take more and more effort to get into the "Christmas spirit". I'm considering next year going to Florida and just running away from the whole thing. Just imagine sending a few gift certificates or cheques in the mail with my ever diminishing card list and then just relaxing in the sun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
