I was wondering who is having trouble getting in the Christmas spirit this year (for those who celebrate of course)?

I've been listening to Christmas music every morning but still can't seem to get in the spirit! I suppose it doesn't help I've been sick for the most part for two weeks now. We still haven't put up our Christmas tree and wouldn't be if it wasn't for our daughter (she's twelve. Christmas IS a magical time of year for kids after all), so we're putting that up tonight. I'm just not looking forward to it because of our obnoxious, perma-kitten cats! (Our cat of twenty years passed. We got another cat. Her name is Stella. Binx and Stella are buddies. Binx is teaching Stella all his obnoxious behavior! They are trouble!)

What is this time of year like for you?

Are you stressed? Depressed? Excited? Sick? Not feeling it?

If you ARE in the holiday spirit please share some of your holiday cheer!
