Do you Have Christmas Spirit?

Your Christmas Sprit Level: 60%

You have a lot of Christmas spirit, and it's evident to most people who know you.
You love most things Christmas, and you do your best to make sure everyone has a great holiday.

While you like the more commercial aspects of Christmas, you truly know what the spirit of Christmas is about.
You're all about giving, being kind, and sharing the spirit of Christmas with everyone you know.





Ok. That description is just silly for a 60% "spirit" level! It should be saying something more like, "You can't believe it's Christmas again. You are bugged beyond comprehension that stores have been marketing Christmas stuff on their shelves since Labor Day. You have to fit time in not only for those school parties for your kids but also manage to make treats for everyone and oftentimes having to make them twice because you ate the first batch yourself, wrap the stocking stuffers, go back to the overcrowded mall because while wrapping your stocking stuffers, you realize you forgot to buy a child's pj's for Christmas Eve. You drown your stress with lots of Diet Coke and that new yummy fudge recipe you found. You don't understand how the One-stop-shop Walmart can run out of powdered sugar and cinnamon sticks yet they don't sell stamps so you can mail your belated Christmas Cards. And let's not forget how much you LOVE to watch "Charlie Brown's Christmas" over.....and over.....and over.....and over."



Contrary to what my 60% Christmas Spirit levels seems to say about me........I'm really not feeling the Christmas Spirit so much this year. Something about a crawling nine month old combined with a two year old. Oh yeah.....and a husband who still has a bruise left over from putting up lights and falling off of the extension ladder last year.......which means no outside lights either.





This is the extent of my decorating this year:



The stockings are hung by the chimney with care. So the kids don't freak out that Santa won't find them there.......





The tree is up in all its gated glory. That, I'm afraid is the end of my inventory.

Love the gate around the Christmas tree, tell tale sign of a baby--no babies or a cat or both!

Merry Christmas!
