QOTW #17: Christmas or Not to Christmas
Posted by Tim at 18:20:9
I’m trying the QOTW meme again — answer for yourself below or post a link to your answer, if you post it on your blog.
Are you ready for Christmas? Why or why not?
Mostly, I'd say I am not ready -- with Advent just a week away, it seems like I should be (normally, I'm ready for Christmas decorations and carols and Advent services by the beginning of November)... but I think with my busyness this year and the warm weather, I just haven't "noticed" the that its almost that time of year. Where did fall go?

I’m always ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I’m not sure I care much for our modern cultural extravaganza that is associated with it. I prefer the social rituals from about a century ago, and some of Europe’s older traditions on it. In that sense, I’m not ever ready for Christmas.
I don’t think I understand the question. What do you mean by being ready for Christmas?
Christmas? I am just thankful that I still have a couple months before Thanksgiving!
Huh? What? You are kidding! NOOOOOO!!!
I’m with Ed, ready for Jesus, not for the mall jerks. See myself doing alot of phone and online ordering so I can spend more time with the family.
Ed: Well, I like a lot of the cultural baggage too — Christmas carols, trees, etc… but it doesn’t seem like its that time of year yet. Most years I’m anxious to pull out the Christmas lights and trim trees.
Kevin: Pretty much what I told Ed. The holiday, not the event of Jesus' birth. There's all the other stuff that goes along with the main event... that's the kind of stuff that seems to be sneaking up on me.
jtr: Hehehe. Well, what's the difference... a couple days, couple months... <g>
Mark: Online ordering is good.
