Go and rent National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, with Chevy Chase, that should do the trick! Good Luck!

Christmas is coming. Let's face it, we can't stop it, and we can't slow it down. It's being pulled at top speed towards us with a steam engine run by elves.
Every store you shop at has aisles of Christmas decorations, candies, and gifts. Yesterday, I saw a car with two Christmas tree's strapped to the roof. Yes, Christmas is coming, quickly.
But what if you just are not "in the mood" yet? Well, here are some idea's on how to set the mood in your house. These can be used all season long, during parties, while putting out the decorations, and much more.
First, put on some Christmas music. If you don't have any (and really, most people don't), then find some- online, at the grocery store, at Good Will, heck, I bought a Christmas CD yesterday for $.49 at the gas station! Ask friends for copies of any CD's they might have, and burn a copy for yourself.
Once the music is playing, light some candles- pine scent, peppermint, or apples & cinnamon are all great winter scents. Spread them through out the house to spread the scent further. The Dollar Tree has fantastic scents for $1 per jar, or votive candles at 4/$1.
Next, bake something. It can be a loaf of bread, muffins, cookies, or heck, even cinnamon rolls. The scent of baked goods will fill the house, and it will just feel good. Not to mention getting to eat the goodies. ;)
Add to the whole set up a mug of hot cocoa, and if you like peppermint, stir it with a candy cane.
Now, you'll really be in the mood for Christmas.

Listen to some Christmas music and walk around the stores and enjoy the decorations they put up. Look though your Christmas stuff too. Lets face it, Christmas only comes once a year enjoy it!

I feel the same way. My mom died a few months ago and I am feeling low. I am going through the holiday motions (decorating, cooking, gifts, etc) because of my family. I think it is okay to not get mixed up in all the "ho ho ho."
The world is a messed up place.

all-day christmas music usually works... if not, maybe just spend some time around the mall, with all the music and decorations...

Sorry....I don't have any either. Too many bad things happening for me right now. Can't do it. The only thing that helps me is, is that I feel I'm being tested and how much I can take. In the end, hopefully it will get me something worth while.

Do something for someone else and don't let them know it was you. It can be a kind act, help w/ a financial problem, or a little gift.
