OH MY GOSH! That is so awesome. Let me tell you what my wife and I do on the 25th of each month. We call it "Mini Christmas". We keep out a small 3 foot tall Christmas tree in our living room all year long, and decorate it for each Holiday / Season, etc. On the 25th of each month, we give ourselves one "Christmas" present (under the little tree of course!), burn a Christmas candle or Christmas wax warmer, and usually watch a Christmas movie that evening. We also play Christmas music that day. It is a terrific reminder that Christmas is coming, and also serves the primary purpose of keeping me from getting the Post-Christmas Blues when all of the other house decorations come down and the place looks empty.

And the Christmas Blossom thread is awesome. We live 3 miles from a Hobby Lobby, and they had their Christmas stuff beginning to go out at the end of April / Early May. And it's grown in size every week since then. It's one of my favorite things to do in the spring, is start "stalking" the Hobby Lobby after Easter has passed. I more or less have it pinned down to the 4th week in April to the 2nd week in may. This helps me feel better as I realize that as sad is it may be in January when Christmas is over, I only have to weather (no pun intended) about 4 months with no Christmas stuff in the store. That's where Mini Christmas / Rudolph Day fills the gap/void for us.

Thanks for explaining to me. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME HERE!!

Yule fit right in here; where have you been hanging your festive hat all these years?

It's wonderful that your wife enjoys the season and the between seasons as much as you do.

I have been on Reddit since around 2017, and I was a lurker here for a long time, but not registered. Prior to that though, I was just basically on my own. As I mentioned, I am the only one in my family who is like this for Christmas. As long as I can remember, I have always loved Christmas and even today at 34 years of age, the joy of seeing a Christmas item or hearing a Christmas song in "the offseason" still makes my heart grow 3 sizes. I can remember being a kid going to the flea market, and seeing a Christmas tree or ornaments in the early summer and just totally going nuts. I wish I would have been on here for all of those "lost years" but the important thing is that I'm here now!

Thank You so Much. I still remember the first time I discovered the 24/7 Christmas subreddit on reddit. And I remember how it made me feel, knowing that I was not alone in being obsessed with Christmas 24/7. I was always the only person I knew out of my whole family (They say my grandfather was this way but he passed away when I was young), and all of my friends growing up. And then not long after that I discovered this site. It was really a wonderful feeling knowing how many of us are out there, when for so long I felt like I was the only one!

I felt the same way when I stumbled upon my first Christmas forum back in 2004 and I've been a member here since 2005. I inherited my love for the Christmas season from my mom and dad who made it extra special, but I recall days when I used to listen to Christmas music in secret and kept a lot of Christmas notions to myself. The forums gave me courage to speak up any day of the year with a word of cheer.

I never imagined when I first joined the merry makers of the world that I'd still be posting and reading messages after all these years.

And look at me now - haha-hoho! +n

Happy Milestone Day and today is my 20th wedding anniversary! Can you believe only 3 more months until the big day!! Typical workday for me and tonight we are going to grill some steak. Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Anniversary!!! You should be treating yourselves to a new set of China, some platinum (napkin ring holders - perhaps), emeralds and daylilies to celebrate.

My mom always liked anniversary symbols. She usually got at least one item off the list especially every five years.

I've been feeling a bit depressed today - so I felt like it was time to get back on here and refresh my spirit with all these wonderful Christmas posts!

Hope we can deliver some merry medicine.
Good to see you! -surprise-



 
I am going to bed. I hope everyone enjoyed their Rudolph Day! There are only two more until the Big Day! And, when we awake, we'll be an even 90 days away from Christmas Day!
 
I was in Maggie Valley today. Had breakfast at Buttered Biscuit then walked it off on the Lake Junaluska lake trail.

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

It's going to be in the mid to upper 90's this week, but it's still the Bers, so I can live with it.

Nancy and I are considering going to the mountains for the weekend, to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Our anniversary is actually in November, but Elizabeth's birthday is on the same day, and she likes to go with us to the mountains LOL. The whole month of October is out with our crazy schedule, too. I just wanted to go when it was cold, but I might have to settle for 70's. We'll see.

I hope y'all have a great day! :D
