I really want to start playing my holiday playlist right now, but I tried that on Tuesday and Wednesday and it just didn’t feel right. I know it’s a week early, so it feels wrong to be listening to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” when it’s not yet.

I want to hear holiday songs on the radio.
I want to start decorating everything in red & gold, or blue & silver. (I usually tend towards red & gold because it’s warmer.)
I want to watch holiday specials like “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on TV.
I want to drive past houses all decorated with lights.
I want to wish desperately for snow.

I’m already in holiday mode.
Work? Nah.
Play? BRING IT.

Also, I feel kind of like shopping. I’m not really the kind of girl who enjoys shopping, but lately I’ve been feeling so girly. I want to buy makeup, for goodness sake. I don’t wear makeup except for the times I did stuff onstage, so if I buy makeup, I’ll most likely wear it for a day (maybe two) and then remember how grueling it is to have to put on my face every day. I am far too lazy to go through the full routine, and knowing me, I would have to go all or nothing.

Is it Thanksgiving yet?
Better yet, is it winter break yet?

I want to see HP7 but I don’t want to go until the frenzy dies down a bit.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly!
