Already? Really?

Yesterday when I was checking the mail I was amazed to discover TWO christmas cards. Is it really that time already? I've been listening to Christmas songs here and there, yes, but there are no decorations, there has been no egg nog, and DC has been a relatively warm 50 degrees. Maybe it's because I skipped out on Thanksgiving this year (plans changed last minute). Maybe it's because I'm not quite feeling the Christmas spirit or I haven't seen A Christmas Story on TV yet. Perhaps if I take Ick and Hurley to get their photos with Santa at Petco I'll feel more in the mood. In any case, I need to get in the spirit pretty quickly...it's three weeks away!!
