I found this neat slide-show of beautiful Christmas trees around the world.

I thought it would be a great way to bring in December and my favorite holiday, Christmas.

Despite the fact that retailers have been shoving Christmas stuff down our throats since Halloween, I still love celebrating the holiday and all its nuances - religious and otherwise.

But seriously, is there any reason to be playing Christmas songs in stores before Dec. 1?

I love Christmas, and even I was a bit annoyed by the "early" Christmas at most stores.

On a positive Christmas note, these trees are look awesome.

For the record, though, none of these trees look as good as the Christmas trees at my house (Yes, I have more than one.)

This is also my warning to you that I will be boring you with Christmas stuff all month, so you should be prepared. (Get over it! Christmas rocks!)

Anyhow, enjoy the Christmas trees.
