(Almost) Damned

I almost made it... almost.

I had SWORN that I would NOT let myself become involved with Christmas until one of two things happened; The Day After Thanksgiving, or The Day That A Local Radio Station started playing Christmas Music.

I almost failed when the Comcast "Sounds Of The Seasons" digital radio station started playing Christmas, but I prevailed.

But as of this morning it had just become to much of a temptation. It's been non-stop Christmas Music and DVD's all day long.

I felt so ashamed :(

BUT WAIT! I think I can get off on a technicality! TBS is showing the animated "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" tonight! And as we all know, The Holiday Season *can* be jump-started by an early showing of any of The Big Ten* at any time (as long as it's not on the ABC Family Channel, because they have "Countdown To Christmas" marathons starting in January and every month thereafter).

THE HOLIDAY SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! I'M IN THE CLEAR!!!

*("The Big Ten" are the ten Holiday Specials/Movies that are SO AWESOME they can kick-start The Holiday Season with their residual amounts of Christmas Cheer. They are: How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Here Comes Santa Claus, Miracle on 34th Street, It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, The Christmas Episode of The Andy Griffith Show, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Home Alone and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. All other Christmas films and/or specials are still wonderful, but only these 10 have any POWER)

I'm so ashamed of you.

I suppose this means you started some time last week?

No, no! This weekend we deep clean the whole house in preparation for next weekend - the decorating! First weekend after Turkey Day.

The best thing about an iPod is that no one can hear your dirty little secrets as you play The Little Drummer Boy for the eleventieth time in September :)

Is that animated Grinch or the rubberfaced Grinch? :)

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you're talking about; they never MADE a live-action Grinch movie.

My mistake. Must have been a fever dream.

The bastards at Warm 106.9 started playing Christmas music this past week. Perhaps they were unaware that IT'S NOT EVEN FUCKING THANKSGIVING YET!!!

Sincerely,
The girl who does not like to be rushed through holidays :-)

I've been in the holiday season mood for about a month now. I've finished the bulk of the shopping and am largely prepared already. XD

Here's a link to where you can listen live to 106.9:
