christmas season can't get here soon enough.

this is bad. real bad michael jackson. it's way too soon for me to be ready for the season to get here. maybe it's because summer in tennessee was hot hot HOT this 2010 edition. i can't wait to drink hot chocolate like it's water. i can't wait to bust out scarves, sweaters, and boots. fall and winter are my favorite clothing seasons. cozy clothing. mmmmm. i can't wait for snow (yes i will most likely deny that i ever said this when i'm walking to class at 8am in slushy, freezing, snowy, cruddy weather but i was thinking the soft, light snowy kind of snow). christmas music....yeah i'm already listening to it (on pandora right now..."christmas time all over the world" by good ol' frank sinatra). like i said...it's bad real bad. it's like christmas is everywhere already it's ridiculous. momma is listening to her charlie brown christmas soundtrack in the car these days. it's all her fault i am the way i am about the christmas season. i was finishing up harry potter and the chamber of secrets the other night and reading about the great hall christmas decorations and lovely feast and it was increasing my desire for the christmas season like crazy!

"The Great Hall looked magnificent. Not only were there a dozen frost-covered Christmas trees and thick streamers of holly and mistletoe crisscrossing the ceiling, but enchanted snow was falling warm and dry, from the ceiling. Dumbledore led them in a few favorite carols, Hagrid booming more and more loudly with every goblet of eggnog he consumed."

oh dear. i can't wait for the eggnog. eggnog will forever remind me of my momma. i've watched you've got mail a gazillion times in the past couple weeks. i don't know why but that movie reminds me insanely of christmas. i think it's the part of the movie where kathleen kelly is hanging ornaments on her christmas tree in her shop around the corner and reminiscing about her mother and how christmas time makes her miss her mother so much it hurts (i always cry during that scene...especially when i'm out at school and homesick...it makes me miss my mother so much it hurts).

basically i just love everything about the christmas season and am already thinking about what i can do to make it one freaking wonderful 2010 edition.
