Where are you Christmas?

Finally got the Christmas tree up -- balls, lights and all-- yesterday. I'm playing the Christmas tunes and trying to tackle Christmas cards today. Still having difficulty getting into the Christmas spirit with this beautiful 'fall' ('fall' in Canadian standards) weather. When I walk outside and hear the crunch of leaves beneath my feet my first reaction is to rake them up in a pile and jump in...childhood memories hanging out in my brain. But, I must focus on Christmas...after I purchase more Christmas stamps tomorrow.
