It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year....

As I can remembered I've never really been so excited for the Spirit of Christmas. In years past I typically wait until the day after Thanksgiving to start decorating, listening to Christmas music and shopping, however this year I've kicked things off early. It's the middle of November and I cannot stop listening to Christmas tunes and I have begun planning all of our Christmas events/activities for the month of Dec. One thing for sure is living in California I'm not going to miss the heavy snow fall that we usually experience around this time of year. Here's a pic of my dad and our dog, Oodles and an image of what kind of snow we normally experience during the winter months. Looks brutally cold doesn't it. It sure is, however I will say it is amazingly beautiful!

Now....to prove my holiday spirit is in full gear, I've done my research and listed below some upcoming Christmas TV Specials that I tend to think are some of the most popular hits of the season. Tune in and tell me what you think.
