I'm a stickler when it comes to Christmas and Thanksgiving since Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. (Well why wouldn't it be it's about food!) So now that I've wrestled free of the food coma, it's time to get into the Christmas spirit with:

1. Christmas songs

Bring it on; now that Thanksgiving is over I can't wait to have these stuck in my head for hours on end...joking I finally want to listen to them.

2. Buying a Christmas tree

First batch is in so you better head over quick before they're gone because you know everyone else has the same idea even though you only just got out of your food coma a couple hours ago.

3. Putting lights up

They've been hanging for a couple weeks now but you finally see them lit.

4. Gift buying

Why do you think they have Black Friday right after Thanksgiving...you need the exercise. Its not really for the sales to get your Christmas gifts like they say it's for.

5. Decorate. Everything.

Make your house a winter wonderland that takes hours to put up and down now that Turkey day is over.

6. TV Specials

These are on a constant loop for the next 4 weeks so don't worry if you miss one you can always catch it again to make you feel all fuzzy inside for Christmas.

7. Christmas commercials

Yes, they're based on the same thing every year, but they really do put you in the mood for Christmas.
