It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

How early do you start to get in the holiday spirit? With Thanksgiving a little over a week away, my sister informed me over the phone that she was already starting to listen to Christmas music on her iPod. And I have to acknowledge the fact that during my travels home to Boston this past weekend, I may (or may not) have packed my copy of Home for the Holidays—one of my favorite movies—in my bag. I didn't watch it! But it was there. :)

I blame the snow last week in New York. But really—what is it about this season that makes it so tough to resist? Do you feel the same way? Or am I alone in this premature holiday bliss?
