Well, it is August and that means that Christmas can’t be
far away. Sure we have to make it past the Olympics, Labour Day, back to
school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, American Thanksgiving, baseball and football
playoffs (Canadian) and of course Black Friday. But, it is just around the
corner, a big corner I will grant you, but it is a corner.
Unlike a lot of people, I like to hear Christmas/Holiday
music all year long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnvzsZCJjZ0
I always keep some sort of decoration out all year as a
reminder not to forget to decorate at the end of November. This year we have a
couple of bells hanging in the dining room. There may be some others that just
escaped getting packed away last winter, but if bigger is better then more
should also be better.
I can do the music easily enough, but it is a little harder
to watch Christmas movies. Sure, I have some of the classics on DVD, but for
some reason I just can’t bring myself to watch them without snow on the ground
or threatening to be on the ground very soon. I could watch those cheesy
Hallmark Christmas movies that tug on the heart strings and in the end that
non-believer manages to find the holiday spirit. I have two or three of them on
my PVR, but until today it has been impossible for me to watch them. I watched
just about ten minutes of one, Trading Christmas, baby steps I suppose.
The odd thing is that the cable network seems to be thinking
like I do and have begun to program the odd Christmas movie. I just finished
watching “Crazy For Christmas”.
It just happened to be on and was just daring me to watch. I
think it was a double-dog dare, so I had no choice but to watch. I look forward
to a smattering of movies in the months to come. Just enough to whet my
appetite and then come December I can go Christmas crazy myself.
