So far I don’t see want any of you guys are complaining about.
My wife and mother in-law are really into Christmas. Did I say they are REALLY into Christmas. I think we have enough Christmas trees to supply to whole city of Hudson with a tree. If we don’t have over 10 trees at home (all over 4 ft but artificial), we don’t have any. Then there are the 4 – 5 up at the cabin (fishing tree, Packer tree, Snowman tree, etc). They all have different decoration themes. I do my part by throwing away the icicle lights from last year, going to Menards and picking up new ones for a whopping 3.50 per box and putting them up on the outside of the house. It actually goes pretty quick, but I can milk it out for at least 3-4 hours one night (enough time to drink about 6 beers) and another hour to finish up the next night (another 2 beers that is). Since we had 2 little girls, its kind of cool to see how excited they get over the decoration thing.
Then there is the Christmas music thing. From Halloween on, everytime I even look away from the TV, it gets shut off and on goes the darn Christmas music (and its not even cool music like the chipmunks). ![](http://www.in-depthangling.com/forum/images/graemlins/devil.gif)
How about Christmas shopping? Its a year round deal in our house, but still manages to be non-stop after Halloween. I’ve learned not to look at the credit card statement until after the first of the year. I’d rather not be considered the scrouge in our family.
Sorry to get so long winded. I’ve been saving this up for some time now. As you can see, I feel your pain. ![](http://www.in-depthangling.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
