Christmas is in 5 days

Last year, Christmas was a BUST. This year it just seems to be slipping right by me.
I haven't done a single bit of Christmas shopping, i just noticed that our Christmas tree has been half set up, sometime when i wasn't home (probably studying or writing finals). There are only about three houses on our whole street with their lights up.
My blog banner is STILL November as i write this-- but hopefully i'll change it tonight.

Even the weather is forgetting Christmas. The lawns are green. The temperature -- 2 degrees?

I'm finding it difficult to aquire any Christmas spirit whatsoever. It's slipping by me, it's slipping by everyone else too by the looks of it.

I will just DIE if someone types in my comments "you're missing the meaning of christmas". I am not missing the meaning of christmas-- i am simply stating that the festivities and excitement, the bustle and cheer that are generally associated with this season are amiss.
