We Are Smiley: "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."

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

Today I found the Christmas music station on satellite radio and listened to Christmas music all day at work. Usually I try to exercise a little self control and at least wait until the day after Thanksgiving to break out the Christmas music.

But I just couldn't help myself.

It made my heart happy.
