What? Christmas movies in December!?!

Every year the commercial Christmas seems to start earlier and earlier. This year I saw Christmas merchandise in the stores BEFORE HALLOWEEN!!! What on earth is going on.  It is ridiculous!!  Now Christmas is my very favorite holiday of the year and I love everything about it.  The decorations, the music, the movies, the food, the cookies and most of all the story of Christmas and all that it stands for.  The nativity gets a special spot in the family room set up on the table next to the tree for all to see.

So here it was, a beautiful Saturday afternoon on November 12th and I'm resting inside because I'm just not feeling well. I grab the remote and start flipping through the channels and land on the ABC Family channel and see an advertisement that boasts the broadcast of our favorite Christmas movies for the 25 Days of Christmas.  Well, this officially starts on December 1st and if that is not soon enough for you, you can watch the Countdown to the 25 Days of Christmas.  I'm thinking this is beyond overkill even for me, a diehard Christmas nut.  So I flip through a few more channels and I come to the Hallmark channel.  They have been airing Chistmas movies all weekend!!  Insanity! As I lay there, drinking my cup of Celestial Seasonings Nutcracker Tea, telling myself how crazy people must be to watch this stuff already, I find that I am watching this stuff hour after hour, movie after movie.  Okay, I admit it, I'm one of the crazy ones. 

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
