Somehow, it doesn't really feel like christmas. When I was younger, i was bursting with anticipation for christmas. Thru november, the kids channel would blast toy commercials about Nerf this, Nickelodeon that and TMNT bla bla. Lets not forget the all important Cartoon Christmas Specials! Those were always something to look forward to.

Now I'm 18, theres no toy commercials to remind me what to look forward to. Orchard christmas decorations now more or less just piss me off, cause it makes me feel like im in some faux glam place. not to mention that army's in abut 3 weeks. So christmas came and went with little fanfare. After 18 years, christmas jingles get kinda irritating, like those Nano-Nano sweet or toys 'r' us commercial jingles.

maybe what we need for the mood... is snow. but im thinking. past the initial few years, that'd just piss me off too. cause my dads too old, and my brothers too fat, so i'll be the one shovelling the snow. hmm. but then there is the option of winter wear! a whole new wardobe!and misty breath. and the thought of a walking around on a snowy morning with a steaming cup of coffee. how appealing.
