Yep! Probably because I've been doing so much holiday baking and had so many events!

But it doesn't feel like it in the sense that we need some SNOW, dammit!

I am finally feeling in the Christmas spirit. I love Christmas, and for the month of November was super excited about it. Then we went to Florida and it was wonderful, but when I got back and I had some stressful stuff at work (first advent season as a Children's/Youth pastor!) and grad school I just stopped feeling the spirit (and mostly wanted to go back to Florida!). But I finished my semester, feel good about my grades, and took LO to see Santa Claus, and had some family Christmases, and got a chance to treat myself with a gift card and treat my youth group kids by organizing a free shopping event where they could get gifts for their families, and it officially feels like the Christmas season again! Despite the fact there's no snow...even though we live in a northern state!

Not really. Our living room is so small and LO is so active that we couldn't justify a tree this year, so all our presents are in a box under the table. Plus LO's been sick for over a week so I had to use up a bunch of my "holiday" vacation days taking care of her, and now I will have to work more than I planned over the next few weeks.

Yes! I've been in the spirit since November. I can't believe it's already Christmas week though!

Doesn't feel like it for me either! I'm working for the first time in many years through Christmas and on top of that, I'm on call 24/7 from now until the 29th and it's totally killing my spirit.

Not as much as I'd hoped. DH has been traveling for work and DD has been a mess the last few days with getting her molars. We're doing some Christmasy things today and hope that kicks it into gear for me.

It does here! We are constantly playing "family Christmas playlists" and LO is so excited about everything.

We also have done it up with activities; tree farm, several concerts, plays, holiday trains, tree walks, and more! (Exhausted. )

Not at all even tho our house is decorated; I think it's bc I have a newborn so I don't even know what day it is anymore and we have nothing going on!

I am so excited for Christmas! But we are currently driving home from doing Christmas with the ILs but it doesn't feel like it to me. But that is probably cause it was the ILs.

Not at all. The pouring rain doesn't help (did no one get the memo it's supposed to be WINTER?!). I find that as an adult Christmas is all sorts of blah....hopefully that will change when we have kiddos to share the magic with!!

Nope. I want to be but I'm just not and it sucks.

Yes and no. I work all week, I've got a lot to do, I'm 80 weeks pregnant, and some really huge deadlines. But every time E stares at the Christmas tree in wonder (then yanks off an ornament and hands it to us, ha!) I get right back into it.

Not really. I thought it was going to be awesome. I'm 7 months pregnant and was planning on taking some time off, but I had two nasty colds, one in October and starting at Thanksgiving (I got both of them during airplane travel) which set me back with work. Then last week all the GD testing made me really sick (because I have GD), which pushed me back even further. Oh well, no baking and goodies for me. Tomorrow I meet with a dietician. I'm not bummed, but it just feels like a regular week.

I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit! This is the first year my LO will be able to participate in Christmas and I'm so excited to see how much fun she has.

Not necessarily Christmas, but it does feel different because D is out of school. It's rainy and dreary, so it just seems blah.

Not really. We have been doing lots of Xmas stuff, but DD2's bday is also this month so I prioritize that more than Xmas. Kinda kills the holiday spirit for me, eeek!
