Baby It's Cold Outside

As I was driving into work this morning, a Christmas song came on my iPod. Yes, I am still listening to my iPod because I still do not have a radio in my car. Not. happy. I only have one Christmas song in shuffle and it is my very favorite, Baby It's Cold Outside. This is my favorite version. Maybe it's my favorite because it is on the Now That's What I Call Christmas CD...the only holiday CD I own, but still, I love it. Oh I also love the hippopotamus song, but that is a story for another day.

Yes, I listened to it and it gave me that happy, Christmasy feeling inside...just like the one aisle of Christmas decorations in Costco on Sunday gave me. Now, I am usually very anti early holiday excitement. The fact that there are really Christmas decorations out before Labor Day does sound ridiculous. But you know what? I'm totally into it this year. Now don't get me wrong. I love me some summer. All this talk of fall on the bloggies is lost on me. It has been such a cool summer here and this morning it was 49 when I left the house. 49! I am just not ready for the warm weather to end. But I am ready for the holidays!


Matt will tell you, I am decorating obsessed. I'm constantly forcing him to stop and look at Christmas sales throughout the year, especially after Christmas where they have great deals! I listen to exclusively Christmas music during the holiday season (yes, before Thanksgiving) and it puts me in such a wonderful mood. It is impossible to get road rage when listening to this stuff! I'm ready for that mood. But listen winter, I do NOT NEED SNOW for that mood. Well, only on Christmas...and then you must disappear before everyone steps in you and you get dirty and gross.


So here's wishing the holidays come a little quicker, the weather stays a little warmer (at least give me 70's!), and heck, if I'm wishing for stuff, the weekend comes a little sooner!
