And, I for one am LOVING it! The trees are up (we have 2 this year) and the decor is out (well mostly) and Egg Nog, Gingerbread, and Peppermint lattes are at Starbucks and Christmas songs are playing on the radio and Christmas ornaments are everywhere (and most are coming home with me - including from Starbucks) and soon we'll have 24 straight hours of A Christmas Story. But really, none of these things puts me in the Christmas mood quite like that one thing. That one thing every year that signifies that Christmas is upon us and it's a wonderful thing. A Charlie Brown Christmas. There's nothing like it. Claymation has nothing on Charlie Brown. The pathetic tree that miraculously becomes beautiful, the "racket that Christmas has become, run by an eastern syndicate" (could it get any funnier?), Sally just wanting some real estate, Snoopy winning the light contest, Linus reading from the bible, everyone deciding that maybe, just for one day, Charlie Brown isn't such a blockhead afterall, and best of all.......that infectious song that I can't seem to get out of my head, but it doesn't bother me because I LOVE IT!! Play it again Schroeder! Have a listen (scroll down a little to find the clips, it's called Linus & Lucy) and I dare you to try and keep from doing the goofy Peanuts dance.
I wonder if it will snow today like the Oklahoma weather men are predicting.
