CHRISTMAS IS COMING!! :)

Okay, so I am SO, SO excited for Christmas. The past two days I have thinking so much about Christmas. I don't know if it is from reading several blogs of others who are very excited for Christmas, or if it's from the crispness in the air and smell of Fall that's been here suddenly the past few days... I LOVE it. Even though I love and look forward to summer all year, I do enjoy the Fall (I think I"ve said that in another post...) Anyway, before we know it Christmas will be here, and I intend on enjoying the season as much as I can this year. The past 2 yrs or so, Christmas has just not felt like Christmas (maybe it has to do with being away from my family, which is NOT good on the holidays...I don't know). But this year, I do not want it to fly by before it FEELS like Christmas. I can't wait to decorate; watch Christmas movies; listen to Christmas music; go around the city and see the lights (not as good yard displays as in the Maritimes it seems, but you never know, maybe there are some light lovers aorund...); make Christmas cookies (yes, I am going to attempt that); find good deals on Christmas Decor (sp?); etc... But first, and soon, I am going to make some great Christmas C.D.'s.

Oh, and for those that enjoy the SEARS CHRISTMAS WISHBOOK as much as I do, it is gonna be out by the end of September... I actually called yesterday (I cannot believe I am admitting this...) to find out... AND they told me that it is some special edition or collector's edition this year ?? (A collector's catalogue??) I forget exactly WHAT the lady called it, but they are charging $5 this year for it, at least here in Alberta, since it is... special. (Unless you've ordered from them this past year? Then I think it is free...)
