(ENDED) Countdown Contest: 38 Days Until Christmas

**SunshineGirl** · 11-16-2008, 01:39 PM

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

at least at Sunshine Rewards! Which makes me wonder, what is that first thing that you see every year that gets you thinking about Christmas. Is it the toys in every store? The cold weather creeping in? The Christmas Club check that officially starts your shopping?

Tell us what gets your Christmas Spirit started every year and one of you will randomly be chosen for a prize.

Definitely the Christmas Tree Displays that are in the stores, now even before Halloween.

Over the past few years (4 to be exact) we have been going to WDW the first week in November and when I see the decorations on Main STreet I know that the Season is fast approaching.........(*I love how overnight they change out the fall decorations to Christmas....so magical)

The first snow of the season is what gets me in full gear. This year, it was a few days before Halloween. After that first snow, it's OK to pull out the holiday clothes, earrings, and music!

When I start seeing signs for all the local craft fairs I know Christmas is coming.

The Hershey Kisses commercial. Where they are like little bells playing We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

It's the tv ads that the one local radio station starts playing letting everyone know that their playing Holiday music all day long. Usually they wait until after Thanksgiving, but the last 2 yrs they've started before. Whenever I hear the ad that sings "Everyone is having a wonderful Christmas time" I realize the holiday is fast approaching.

When you are walking in the store and you start to hear Christmas music. I get that warm fuzzy feeling

And start to get excited for Christmas and shopping!

My birthday!! I REFUSE to even look at anything Christmas-y until after my birthday and these stores are not helping! Once Nov 9th hits, I can get into the spirit...but I do like to wait until Thanksgiving is over to decorate.
