I start Christmas in October. It's really pretty pathetic. But, hey! It gives me an excuse to be merry, right? Collectively my mom and I own about forty Christmas CD's . . . I Heart Christmas!
Except what's funny is that my family's always in pretty good spirits during the holiday season, but then come Christmas Eve or Christmas day, it's like people realize they don't like each other anymore. At my dad's we always play games with the entire family and we end up screaming at each other, and then people get mad at people for screaming at each other and there's always the obligatory reminder of "Oh, come on, it's CHRISTMAS!" My mom's side of the family, too. My brother and I will make fun of each other or fight over the egg nog or something and then there goes my mom - "Oh come ON, it's Christmas! Jesus Christ!" Really, I think I should start using this excuse all year 'round when someone does something to piss me off. God knows it's almost as valid [img]smile.gif[/img]
