In an effort to be more jolly, I've already started to listen to Christmas music because, well, I really like Christmas music and it makes me jolly. It's not uncommon for me to pull out the festive tunes in mid November, but I'm getting in the spirit of few weeks early this year. I'm also trying to break the habit of waiting till the last minute to buy all my Christmas presents, but I'm having a hard time breaking tradition. I already know what I'm getting most people on my list, but when I get ready to make the purchase, I'm just not into it. I did order the one present that I actually have to order, so I guess that's a beginning. (I'm trying to make an effort to do business locally instead of online - for our economy and such, because every little bit helps, right?)
Anyway, last year I made a Christmas CD which I sent out to a bunch o' friends, and I think I'm going to do the same this year. So besides the extra jolliness the Christmas music induces, I'm also planning the playlist. Plus, I woke up this morning singing Mamacita, Donde Esta Santa Claus, which is (obviously) a good sign.
I've got to hear that one. I love your 2004 Christmas mix; I've been listening to it since August.
Kudos for supporting local businesses.
