December the Second
Yesterday I went to see my little brother play Scrooge in a local production of A Christmas Carol. As I watched the ghost of Christmas past, I thought about my own past Christmases. How exciting it became as Thanksgiving ended, putting the tree up and slowly seeing presents appear underneath, having snow days and making cookies & candies. I could never wait for Christmas to open my presents. I always snuck in little tears here and there. Until my Mother grew tired of me doing so, and then color coordinated everyones presents, with no name tags. It made it worse & better at the same time. Now that I am older, I have much more restraint.
I don't get near as excited about the Christmas season now, as I did growing up. Somewhere along the way, the magic seems to have been lost inside me. I guess because it doesn't really feel like Christmas for me until it snows. Or maybe I'm entering a slow decline into Scroogeism. Or perhaps it's because it's still early, and we haven't done anything really Christmas-ey yet. With the exception of pulling out our tiny tree.
To show you I am in fact, not a Scrooge, today I am giving away a Cherry Christmas charm pack!
To be in the draw, simply leave a comment telling who you think you relate more with: Scrooge/Grinch or Charlie Brown. (I may be a combination of all 3)
One comment per person. Winner will be selected tomorrow.
P.S. if you're wondering about the winner from yesterday's giveaway, the post has been updated with the winner at the top of the post.
The Grinch. I am always a bit grinchy until christmas is almost here.
ReplyDeleteI am more of a Charlie Brown now that my 4 year old is totally into Santa and loves all the decorations.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a Charlie Brown - scraggly tree and all! (Okay, maybe it's not quite that small, but sparse, lopsided and weighed down by ornaments? Check.) Thanks for the chance - I adore cherry christmas!
ReplyDeletei love charlie brown my tree loses a bag full of leaves every year
ReplyDeleteI think Charlie Brown with a little of the Grinch thrown in. Decorating is not my thing, but if I could put one ornament on a little tree and call it "done", I would be thrilled. I am going to try to be better this year though. Deck the Halls...
ReplyDeleteI would like to say Charlie Brown, but these days I think I am turning into Scrooge!!! I absolutely love A Christmas Carol, It's a tradition in our house to watch the film every year. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteI am definately Charlie Brown, scraggly Christmas tree and all

ReplyDeleteI'm Charlie Brown, with a little bit of Snoopy :)
ReplyDeleteCharlie Brown.
ReplyDeletecharlie brown because sometimes I feel like i'm running at the football myself, and someone moves it like a dirt bag.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Brown all the way baby! Every year I start wanting to decorate and listen to Christmas music sooner and sooner.
