Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I absolutely LOVE Christmas. As soon as December hits, I get all my decorations out and trim the tree. Should I mention that I have so many ornaments that I have to choose which ones I want to use each year? Should I also mention that my tree is gargantuan? It's 7.5 feet tall and quite full. No Charlie Brown tree for me! Some of my friends have given my place the moniker "Christmasland" and I guess I agree that it's appropriate. I have the gargantuan tree, a Christmas village, garlands around the doorframes, 3 - count 'em - 3 stockings (one is Tigger sticking out the top), candles and stuffed animals on all shelves. I sometimes even put out some children's books I have bought over the years about Santa and his workshop. Did I mention that I love Christmas???

However, this year is quite strange...Today is the 19th and being in Montreal you would think it would be pretty and white. Not so! We have only had 2 snowfalls and the snow has refused to stay. December 1st was actually quite horrid as we had freezing rain and the ice detroyed a lot of lovely trees, while giving a lot of people electricity problems (yours truly was spared the aggravation). I know that come January and February I will be cursing the minus 40 weather plus windchill, but right now I would really like to look outside my window and feel like Christmas is less than a week away!

Speaking of less than a week...Have you done your Christmas shopping? Have you bought all the gifts needed for all your loved ones? The clock is a-tickin'...I actually got mine done early this year (the last weekend of November) because I knew that I would have very little time this month. I am looking forward to finishing this week at work and then taking it easy until the new year. After spending the last 3 weekends entertaining the public by singing in the malls, I am bushed! Only 6 more days...

I hope I don't get a lump of coal from Santa!
