I have not been able to get into the Christmas spirit yet. Many of my neighbors have their Christmas lights up, but I have not felt even the slightest urge to decorate. Christmas songs on the radio are annoying me – particularly at the gym. I do not want to sweat along to some new hip hop version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
I’m also sick of Christmas themed commercials already. I find the toys they used in the “Get yourself a Christmas Mercedes” commercial creepy. Also, who buys a car for Christmas? Someone must though, because I saw holiday car ads for Mercedes, Acura and Ford. I think it was Ford. Some kind of truck, anyway. Then there’s the get the “Best Gifts Ever” from Radio Shack campaign, which is just a flat out lie. I beg to differ, Radio Shack. You do not have the best gifts ever.
Speaking of gifts, I have no good ideas for what to give anyone this year. I don’t even particularly want anything for myself. See? No Christmas spirit whatsoever.
How about you? Have you decorated? Done your shopping?
I'm in a similar boat - although I do want to start decorating soon. I have no ideas for others and few to put on my own wishlist. And I just sent an e-mail to Sirius asking it to play less Christmas music on the regular country station. It's just too much.
Hey, I've yet to get motivated either. If you will though, come by my blogs and register and wins something for yourself, that might make your feel better and you can tell your readers to register too!

I am trying to stir up some holiday spirit, but it seems to take more effort every year. I don't want to shop, don't really care about getting the tree up and feel just like you do about the songs and the commercials. I'm waiting for something to happen to turn my attitude around.
Well, I already know I'm not having any company, just hubby and me. So I'm in a funk. I'll fix a nice dinner and call a few people Christmas day, but it's going to be a low key year.
