Ladies and gentlehams, its the beginning of Fall, and to Laura that means Christmas! What? Too early you might ask? Well, the only reason Laura is getting prepared for Christmas now is because I told her we couldn't set the tree up in August.
The question is, why is she SOOOOO excited about Christmas? I mean, I like Christmas. It's fun and all, but I temper my excitement until, say, December. But Laura, oh no. Now is the time to get in the season. From my intense interrogation I found out why on earth she would want to celebrate Christmas the whole year around. And to my surprise it wasn't getting tons of awesome presents.
She loves the whole atmosphere from the Christmas tree, to the tinsel on the stair railings, to the stockings, to the Christmas cookies, to the hot chocolate, and especially the sales at the Mall. So in the Cross family we start the Christmas season after Halloween. In about one weeks time, the Christmas tree will be set up, the tinsel will be on the railings, cookies will be in the oven and Laura will be ecstatic! I fully expect to be listening to Alvin and the Chipmunk Christmas songs whenever we drive.

This movie was actually based on Laura's love of Christmas.
That song was played just about non-stop on the radio when it came out. Mom and dad bought us the 45 recording. I think that was just about the only record they ever bought. Anyway, they surprised Jean and I with it and started playing it on the record player. We went nuts- ROTFALMAO. It was so cool. Actually, although this is a great song, the Witch Doctor is even better IMHO.
