I love that song! In fact I love a lot of the “old” Christmas songs, as well as those that are played every year at Christmas! Usually at this time of year I start playing Christmas songs in my vehicle when I am out and about on my own. DH and The Boys moan at me but I just think that it is so short a time if you only play the songs in December. Of course I do not go out and about so don’t hear the same songs all the time in shops etc so that is probably why I play them earlier than most!
I have not put my tree up yet though, unlike some people I have seen who have artificial ones and have put them up now!!!! We, as a family, have always had real trees because I just love the smell of them so we won’t get that until the first week of December!
The Christmas tickets for Chatsworth House have been released and some dates are booked already. I know that I may be okay by Christmas after my Op but in a bit of not tempting fate I have not booked anything just in case. However I will be definitely booking for next year! I am so looking forward to not being in this state next year!
I have already done a bit of Christmas shopping and bought a few things for the children etc and have also got my Christmas cards ready to write. I can probably do those whilst I am recovering! I have already got my Chirstmas planner out and started making notes in it, the way the weeks are flying by it will soon be here!
We are planning a weekend in Nottingham with the six of us and Little Man during a Saturday in December for everyone to do a bit of shopping and get a couple of things sorted and then have dinner and of course see the lights! Am really looking forward to that.
I absolutely love this time of year and the run up to Christmas.
Mid-October is a bit early for Christmas trees and the Hallmark Channel will start playing their Christmas movies on October 17th. In my opinion, you have to wait until October is over! I have a couple of Christmas gifts put away already too.
I love the run up to Christmas too!! It’s a bit early, but I look forward to the first of November when East Idaho News starts their Secret Santa giving. Someone gives them $1,000,000 to give to those in need (must be nominated and checked out)…cars, grocery cards, fire wood, gas cards…whatever the need is, they film one a day and put them out on YouTube. So wonderful to see the impact giving has on people.
