The magic is late for me this year. Not sure why. Maybe just too much sports stuff going on with the kids that I haven't slowed down. For some reason even though I'm excited for it, I'm not "there" yet. I think it will be the eggnog that will do the trick, and I don't let that into the house til Thanksgiving (lest I gain a thousand pounds!). I'm also going to make a special effort this year to get out and see the downtown Christmas activities that start up at Thanksgiving instead of waiting til mid-Dec. And that will definitely do it! (with an eggnog latte in hand!)
