Does anyone else have Christmas vibes yet or is it just me??

I’m already listening to festive music lol!

You have no idea! We just got a new Christmas tree so I am really feeling it! We only put up the tree on Thanksgiving night but my dad has been begging my mom to let him put the lights up early so those are up now! The bad thing is in Missouri its soooo hot (pretty much everyday is a high of 80) and its kinda messing it up for me. I can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!! 🎄❄️

yessss! I thought it was just me 😅 I get Christmas songs stuck in my head from like September to February 😅😅

I only play Christmas music from after Thanksgiving to mid January.

I wish I was the same way but my mom insisted on listening to Christmas music in October!

LOL. My b-day was in October! I am now officially a teen!

Oh, wow! Happy belated birthday! Welcome to the teen club! 😎

Haha, thanks! I love dogs, and Christmas, so yeah! I have a whole story about my users! I was originally @cutie01 but I locked myself out, so then I was @dream01, locked myself out again, so... This is my newest user, and I made sure my password is strong as possible.

Oh, my goodness! So, I'm not the only one?! Yes, in fact, my mom and I already put up some Christmas decorations. 'Tis the season!!

Yeah, I gave her a little resistance at first (I mean it was only November 1st) but after I saw our Christmas garland and wreaths, I quickly changed my mind! 😂

Yeah, I gave her a little resistance at first (I mean, it was still was November 1st) but once I saw our Christmas garland and wreaths again, I was good with it! 😂
