Liann
Cathlete
<---tells Ronne that every year the stores put the Christmas stuff out earlier and start playing Christmas music even earlier
<---was a little perturbed to go into Wal-Mart on Nov. 1 and hear Jingle Bells
<---admits she has her house decorated for Christmas already, but only because she is going to be gone (WA state) during Christmas and wanted to enjoy her stuff now
<---says that typically though, people do not seriously start putting up lights etc. until the day after Thanksgiving

Cathlete
<--- tells Ronne that, generally speaking, there is much more hoopla on this side of the pond over Christmas than <--- remembers there being in the UK
<--- puts up the tree, etc. as late as possible and would rip it all down on Boxing Day (which they don't have in the U.S.) if <--- could
<--- leaves it up for Sophie

Liann
Cathlete
<---tells Robin that she will be spending Christmas Eve with her family at her parent's house in PA, then she and DH will be flying to WA the next morning and spending Christmas Day - New Year's at her in-laws.
<---says that DH will be dragging her skiing during that trip and the entire family (16 total) also plans to drive up to their TINY 2 room cabin in the mountains for a night spent keeping the wood stove lit...
<---is working on having a good attitude about the trip
<---has a terrible fear of heights though and HATES going skiing
<---cannot handle the hills even though she can ski fine - just wigs out due to the elevation and "cliff" like trails...

<---used to be the same as Shannon, since we always traveled over Christmas
<---says now everyone comes to us, so decorations are in order
<---has cut back a bit and never did do the outdoor lights
<---probably is a cousin of Scrooge
<---would rather put her energy in cookies - Yum

<--is sitting in her office eating a Seinfeld salad
<--was overwhelmed with unexpected work today
<--wouldn't mind Robin's work schedule at all
<--would work Christmas in return for getting Thanksgiving off
<--often works on Christmas because it's nice and quiet in the office
<--is usually busy at the end of the year
<--does not envy Liann!
<--would be more afraid of being in a tiny cabin with 16 people than skiing and <-- is also afraid of heights
<--tells Liann to relax in the ski lodge and drink hot toddies
ETA:<--remembers that there was a pic of Mom holding a pile of sweaters in all different colors and the caption read something like "I have more (whatever the name of the sweater was) than anyone! :7
<--says it was a hoot
