I love Christmas

Apart from a couple minor items for mom and dad - I am done my Christmas shopping! Woohoo. I really hate the malls at this time of the year. I am not a very patient person, but the mad rush of consumers during the last few pre-Christmas shopping weekends would test the patience of the calmest person in the world.

As you'll notice, I got a little background spirit going on in the form of tunes. (The video is way down at the bottom of the page - check it out, it's got some important background highlights). I tried to archive some of those older posts so that the video wouldn't be so far down there - but alas, I couldn't figure out how. So if any of you know how I can archive my blogs so only this month's appear in the main screen, please let me know!

Anywho....the Trans Siberian Orchestra is who this song is by. My best friend pointed them out to me recently - he's into the rock/metal aspect of the band. Whereas, I'm totally into an orchestra, that totally has a contemporary feel, playing classical music. Every year I try to see some sort of performance in December that gets me into the Christmas mood. This year it was the Nutcracker. Next year, my goal is for it to be the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Sure I'll have to travel to see them....and apparently their shows are a hot item and sell out. But, I have a mission. So, lets see if I can actually swing locating and attending a performance next year.

One week until Christmas Eve - my favorite day of the year. (Yes, Christmas Eve and not Day is my favorite of the two).
