    ...until the smell of cinnamon rolls and sweet orange rolls waft through my parents house, covering everything in the smell of their sweety, sugary, delicious goodness. :tongue:

    Just when it all aligns...

    Cookies are baked
    Elf is on the Shelf
    A Christmas Story is on TV
    Gifts are wrapped under the tree
    My dog has found chocolate and vomited it back up
    I sit on Santa's lap
    We build a snowman...

    Not Christmas until I see "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". The cartoon version, the movie sucks.... Also I live in MN, and I can still see grass, some snow would be nice for christmas.

    ...the tellers tell me we are closed, so I am not suppose to work that day (even though I usually do).

    For me it isnt until I begin baking. I call it the "BAKING SEASON". This past weekend baking season opened. So far I have been successful in not eating a whole batch of cookie dough.

    About 2a on Christmas morning - when I put all the gifts under the tree for the kids.... and I can sit back - everything turned off but the lights on the tree and have a small glass of egg nog!

    Then... about 3 hours later have the youngest one wake me up to say it's time to open gifts!! ;-)

    For me, it's not Christmas until I hear Nat King Cole's" Christmas Song". How about you?

    Love the purse in your profile pick! I have it in gold! <3

    Its not Christmas until my feet hit the sand of Fort Myers beach woot!
    That's Awesome it's my reward when I hit my goal.

    It's not Christmas in my house until someone is rushing to Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve to get that one last thing we forgot....
    LOL!

    For me it's not Christmas until Ciné Cadeau starts, it's been playing for 30 years now around Christmas time and i've watched 95% of those years (this year from December 17 to January 8). You can translate that as Present Cinema. They have 3 or more cartoons a day, my favorites are all the Asterix, Tintin and Lucky Luke. I also love watching Garfield: His 9 lives (the story about Diane the cat makes me cry every single time).

    I even have an old tape from 1985 with some of the classics they sadly don't play anymore.

    Even if it's not all Christmas oriented, it reminds me of my childhood and time spent with family watching those cartoons when I was young. It also reminds me of the time I spent with my favorite grand father when he was alive.

    I've been looking forward to the start of Ciné Cadeau since then end of October. BF, being an anglophone, is on his 2nd year watching it with me and as long as it plays, I plan on having my children watch it too :)

    I have to agree. Mine still needs work. Tree up but no lights. :( Here's hoping I get it accomplished.

    It's not Christmas until I hear the Carpenters Christmas album (aw, Karen...) and watch the musical Scrooge (with Albert Finney). I've listened to the Carpenters at least 3 times... never gets old! Still haven't watched Scrooge yet tho... Christmas Eve tradition; Scrooge and homemade caramel corn!

    My sister and I always say its officially Christmas time when you buy a bag of mixed nuts (in the shell)

    Growing up my dad always had a bowl of mixed nuts with the nutcracker stickin out of it beside his chair around the holidays.
