Fun Fridays, I'm jealous of your Christmas tree

Christmas time is the season to be thankful, grateful, give back, spend money and spread your all around cheer. Don't be a ba humbug and tell me you hate Christmas lights and their joyful tinkle because I will disown you and that would be sad because you're my bestest friend. Even if you don't celebrate like I do, you have to admit that there's something about garland and those huge, blow up lawn snowmen that just puts a smile on your face.

Christmas music also warms my heart and sometimes when I'm PMS-ing, I'll put in my N'Sync Christmas album to cheer myself up even if it's June. Because there's "love in the room from the floor to the ceiling" and you can't deny that love. Even though I am a Backstreet Boys fan, I will admit that Justin Timberlake can belt out a pop Christmas tune and the video is cheese-tastic.




Um, really? Hey Gary Coleman.
 

Now, if you follow me on Twitter, you know where this is going. You've heard me complain about this before and I'm sorry if I offend anyone but the following has got to be the worst holiday song of all time.



I'm sorry, I just can't handle it. Especially when my office plays the XM Christmas station and it repeats about 5,298 times in a day. I think my hate comes from the fact that I worked in two Italian restaurants where Dominick The Donkey is way over-played.

Crap, that damned HEEHAW is stuck in my head now. Frick.

Onto my weekend plans: I'm head over heels jealous of all of you, you have your trees up and decorated. You have your cinnamon pine cones out, your mistletoe hung, and tinsel dripping everywhere. Now, finally, Kev and I will get our first Christmas tree tomorrow! Not just first as a married couple, I mean it's our first ever. We never lived together before so it'll be interesting to see what kind of compromise we come to over ornaments. If he had it his way, it'd be all Virginia Tech paraphernalia and antlers or deer or camo crap. I would be content with one of those all red and gold trees, like in the Pottery Barn catalog. Yeah, just like that, only I'm cheap and will get my ornaments at Family Dollar.

Right now though, I'm designing our Christmas card - which I will not reveal because I'm stealing this idea from several bloggy friends, and would like to send one to Y.O.U. Some of you have read my blog from the start and some of you I have gotten to know pretty well so why shouldn't I send you some holiday love too?
