Yep, that's me!

I am the one who annoys you. Or at least the though of someone like me annoys you. Here's why and by the way, I am proud to annoy you.

I just finished putting my Christmas tree up. I did it while it listening to Christmas Carols. Now I am sitting here, typing this post, eating leftover apple pie and listening to Christmas Carols. And I am so happy. I love Christmas time. It's like my other arm, I feel complete when Christmas time rolls around. I am at my corniest, cheesiest best at Christmas. I love everything about it, the lights, the trees, the music, the Christmas cheer, the shopping, the Nativity scenes, the excitment, the presents both receiving and giving of said presents, the Christmas decorations at the mall or down at Bayfront Park. I love the Christmas specials especially, Charlie Brown, The Grinch, Rudolph, and Christmas Vacation. I love seeing the tree in Rockefellar Center on T.V and hope so badly that one day I will see it in person. I even love, when I visit Utah, going to Temple Square. Not for the temple but for the lights and the hustle and bustle. We always go out to dinner and do a little shopping. The best part is being with my family who lives there. I have such awesome memories of Christmas in Utah. I am sad that we won't be able to go there this year. Hopefully we can next year.
Since I still consider myself Christian I love all the religious aspects of Christmas too. I can't explain why I still feel Christian. I guess since I never really believed in Mormonism but have always believed in Jesus it wasn't hard to not let go of that once I let go of Mormonism. They don't go hand in hand for me.
Anyway, I don't think I mentioned Santa Claus but I love that part of Christmas too. Who cares if he's not real. The concept of a man who is so giving makes my heart happy. I wish I could be Santa Claus. I wish I had so much money that I could make sure every child on this planet has a nice Christmas. Not going to happen but it's a nice idea. For now I will just concentrate on giving my kids a nice Christmas. They love the tree so they are already having fun.

Yeah, I love starting to celebrate Christmas a month early. Sometimes I wish it could always be Christmas but I realize that would make it less special to me. Sorry if that's annoying.........wait, no I'm not!! :)
