I LOVE The Muppets Christmas Carol! I have for years---I found it when I was in my early thirties, and was certain I am the only adult who was fun/ wacky/ silly enough to dare to sit through it (and sing along with it at points), year after year, religiously. And yes, I cry at the emo parts.

Yesterday, I indulged in a rare and almost-forbidden piece of cinnamon loaf...and enjoyed every bite of it.

Last night, I wrapped the few presents I'd found for the two of us (yes, I buy my own presents; it's a long story) , and for the cats, and played Christmas tunes and sang along to most of them. I danced a little bit to the cheery, boppy ones.

Tonight, I am putting the last of the ornaments on the tree (got a little behind this week), and listening to vintage Christmas music on the cable radio station. This is a very good association for me. And I intend to have a candy cane when I am done!
