Too early?

Due to Thanksgiving holiday, I only had class on Monday and Tuesday.  Naturally by Tuesday night I was already bored.  Guess what I did?  That's right, I pulled out my Christmas decorations!  I had been holding off till Thanksgiving, and to be fair I'm not the first person in my neighborhood to bust out the decor.  Far from it, actually.  Anyway, I was slightly excited because I got a bunch of new ornaments at the end of the season last year that I didn't get to use until this year, plus I added a bunch of black and red "Utah" ornaments to my repertoire.  Yay for my red and white Christmas tree!

You know I was hardly in the Christmas spirit when I was putting this crap up.  I'm nowhere near ready to listen to holiday music - on the contrary, I was listening to my Pitbull Pandora station whilst decorating my tree (is that too anti-Christmas?!).  It's strange, I really just enjoy the ambiance of Christmas lights.  That would probably explain why I have a string of white lights hanging over the window in my bedroom year round.  

Seriously, I found it oddly cathartic to lay under the tree and look at the lights - something I'm told I did when I was a child.

I will admit that I am an avid Grey's Anatomy watcher.  This reminded me of a particular episode.

Skip to 3:05.  (This is really only for those friends of mine who I know watch this.  It's just nice to know that I'm not the only person who has ever thought of this!)  So if you are having a bad day, come over to my house and we can lay under my tree and look at the lights.
