We have snow. We have radio stations playing only Christmas tunes. We have near zero temperatures.
And we have 5 signs our family is ready for Christmas.
- BeAGoodMom has all of the gift purchasing under control…except for the ones I’m responsible for. She’s starting to look for ways that she can take care of those without me noticing.
- BeAGoodDad is craving summer sausage, cheese balls, and sleep.
- Geetle constantly says, “I know what I’m going to buy you for Christmas” immediately after BAGM or I say, “I wish I had an X.”
- If you are green and prickly and stand still long enough, Pookie will decorate you with all of the Christmas decorations he can find in the room. Mental note: do not dye my beard (fine, my 5 o’clock shadow from 3 days ago) green.
- Giggles, after lots of coaching, is finally running around the house saying, “Ho, ho, ho” (which sounds more like “Ha, ha, ha”) and is prone to dancing to Christmas songs while standing on her knees in the middle of the mosh pit that is our family.
Are you feeling the Christmas vibes yet?

Yes, definitely! I finished part of my Christmas shopping yesterday, and I am about to wrap up this semester, which puts me in an infinitely better mood.
We have no snow. But then again, this is TN, where if it snows an inch we break out the sleds. If we even hear that it MIGHT snow, we rush to the store to hoard milk and bread.
In the military we moved from California to Texas between tech schools. My friend from Miami had never seen snow before. The day we flew into Texas they got like 4 inches of snow that stuck for a couple days. It was hysterical watching him and all the other warm weather dwellers freaking out about the snow.
Good luck with finals.
Thanks BAGD!
Oh, and guess what? A wintery mix is predicted for TN tomorrow. Time to break out the sleds!
