In my view, it's definitely time to move on.
The expensive way is to keep your old laptop with Windows XP just in case your withdrawal symptoms overwhelm you, and then buy a new laptop with Windows 7 on it. :)
As your laptop is a few years old it may not be able to run Windows 7 anyway so you should run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor first.

You can then make an informed choice, but I'm sure you'll be delighted with Windows 7.
If you can run Windows 7 and want to dual boot, check this tutorial.

If you decide to buy a new laptop with Windows 7 Professional on it, you can also use Microsoft's free XP Mode, which runs under a virtual PC.

You just need to man up and forget XP.
If you go 7 you will be in heaven.
