Can you believe how beautiful autumn is this year? The leaves are absolutely beautiful in Alabama. However, the Hallmark channel is already showing Christmas programs one after another on Saturday and Sunday each weekend. I started watching them last weekend since I was laid up with the "Walking Pneumonia and the Buggie Wuggie Flu". Mike asked me why I watch those shows so far away from Christmas and I answered him, "THEY TAKE ME TO MY HAPPY PLACE", and that is so.... true. They make me feel all squuushy (my word)inside. Those shows make me feel all happy and soft and melty and smiley and everything Christmas is and everything Christmas stands for and the way we all ought to feel all year round. I just love those feelings, don't you? I am usually addicted to "Law and Order", "CSI", or "NCIS". They are great shows, but they are about the seedy side of life, not the kinder, gentler side of life. Sittuh gets on to me all the time for watching them instead of more uplifting shows. I guess she is right (although I do love me some "Law and Order"). But this time of year as the weather gets colder and I start making soups and stews and hot chocolate, my mind turns to happier things and I thank God for the Hallmark channel and the weekends I can wrap up and go to my happy place where sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
