Halloween 2006 is history and with that comes Sounds Of The Season somewhere around the 900 + channel. I’m not a TV person during the day, nor am I one to have music on in the house, I like to think and do my pottery without any distractions. But look out, when Christmas music is available 24 – 7, commercial free, I’m all over it.

Bobby seemed confused last evening when he came in as it’s unusual for me to have the TV on. Looking further he noticed wifey’s favorite music of all time quietly filling the air so he kindly asked if he could turn the channel. He never needs to ask if he can turn the channel especially after coming home from work, but I found that so interesting because he didn’t want to spoil my Christmas music. The first Christmas carol I heard was Kenny G playing We Wish You A Merry Christmas, it was beautiful.

Just think, two weekends from now our home will be all decorated for the upcoming Christmas Season. I used to put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving but the last few years I’ve bumped it up to the weekend before Thanksgiving. I no longer use the real trees, by the way I LOVE real trees but I can’t get them soon enough and they won’t last as long as I would like so I stopped using them years ago. I look forward to getting those boxes down to discover all the goodies we purchased after Christmas last year. We always wait till after the New Year to get our goodies 75% off as we love to get great bargains. We purchased our first pre lit tree last year after New Years getting that 75% off and I’m so stoked that I don’t have to run the lights in and out of branches. I used to run the lights up the full branch and then run the lights back down the other side and continue around the tree in that manner lining each and every branch of the whole tree with lights. I’ll have no more of that thank you very much and look forward to that hard part being over with. Excitement is definitely in the air around here.
