Christmas in November

If there is one thing I get excited about, it's Christmas! As I think back to my childhood, most of the best memories I have are from Christmas. It seemed like the one time of year that I could forget all of my troubles and really just enjoy the season.

So over the last few weeks, I have been getting really excited about Christmas this year! We have gotten a 3' tree for Emma, complete with Care Bear, My Little Pony, and Disney Princess ornaments. The funny thing is that Dan actually had an opinion about the ornaments we were getting for her. He said, "I don't want her to have Barbie. I just don't think that Barbie teaches little girls the right things." He's so hilarious when it comes to protecting his little girl!

I have also been listening to some wonderful Christmas music! 102.5 FM has been playing Christmas music over the weekends, and there's a great radio station that plays Christmas music all day. It's http://www.xmasmelody.com/. Fantastic station, but I have to put in my headphones when I listen to it at home. Dan can't stand it!

And even though Santa won't be visiting the Delaney house--ever--we are still hoping to make this a special Christmas for Emma. She's going to have a Happy Birthday, Jesus! Party in December. We can't wait to have all of the babies and toddlers come over and celebrate with us! We're going to play games and make an ornament and of course eat cake. Yay!

So I guess I'm one of those nerds who gets into Christmas a little too early. But how could you resist?

ha ha...your not a nerd! OR we both are. I pulled all my Christmas stuff out yesterday so I could make a list of what else I needed!I will never forget that you and Dan bought us our first Christmas tree when we got married that first year!I think Dan is right about the barbie thing! Thats awesome he is protecting her in that way..plus barbies "proportions" may make a tree fall over I would think..
