It starts to feel like Christmas

LMAO!!! That joke is absolutely hilarious!!

This statement might possibly be true in another universe...in another dimension...or in another reality, but certainly not in this one!!

I haven't felt less 'christmas-y' in many, many years. Quite frankly this year I really couldn't care less about that bogus holiday. I haven't cared about XMAS decoration this year at all. If they are there or not there really doesn't make any difference to me. I simply couldn't care less. If this year Christmas happens or doesn't happen... well I couldn't care less!!

Besides all of that Christmas with 70 or 80 degrees feels more like Easter, but certainly doesn't feel like Christmas. Here are the ingredients for a 'real' Christmas as far as I'm concerned:

Temperatures between O and 15 degree F. Snow and lots of it. The smell of fresh made punch. Hanging out at a real 'Christkindlmarkt' with good friends, drinking Glühwein, while it slightly starts to snow.

That's a real Christmas as far as I'm concerned!!
