early Christmas mood

When the "ber" months start rolling in, the stores and streets begin to smell of Christmas too. There's tinsel and plastic, and yummy sweets.

Songs are played... bells rung... and pockets jingled for coins for an extra melody or two. Toys and gift ideas fill the racks. Decor becomes a hot commodity for eager and early shoppers.

Is it just us or are you feeling the vibe too? Do tell us. What excites you about the holidays?
