Eeeek~ Only 100 days!

[JanaBanana]

Until CHRISTMAS! We all better get busy:???:

[reindeerelf]

Tomorrow will be less than 100 days! I'm glad I have a good start on my Holiday projects. I think I know how Santa feels. I could use a few elves.

[pinkini]

I cannot believe it! :treeguy:

I am doing my budget & menu planning... ordered my Christmas cards this weekend... it's coming fast!

[Undrtakr]

I cant wait :D Seasons almost here!

[SW1Dennis]

:sparkle:

Man, I am pumped up. I can hardly wait to get my outdoor decorations out and up in the yard and on the house!!

[Holiday]

I have been in SUCH a Christmas mood lately...now I know why!!!! ONLY 100 DAYS!!! :razz:
:wiggy:

[JOHNOR]

time really does fly! not that i'm complaining, i love the BER months!

[MsChristmas]

This is so exciting! I was actually buying my son Christmas gifts on my lunch break today! I have been in such a Christmas mood also for the past few weeks!

:tree:

[trackrebel]

YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY!!!...actually....for me it´s 99 days already...:D since I am German......Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!

[SparkleNana]

This is a countdown I can love! 100 days!

[christmas-junkie]

woo. Another milestone. Only 99 days of shopping. Counting down the days already:cry:

[Faith4always]

:merry::DI am so so so so so so SO excited!!

[Steven]

my christmas spirit is running over, just over a month until we start working on the tree cheesy

[JanaBanana]

My tree's go up the weekend after Halloween :)

[irishsnow]

Wow cant believe its so close

[Courtney]

Seems like it is coming around so quickly this year. :)

[Ms_Speedy_Elf]

Although I am excited that Christmas is 100 day's away,I can not help but say that I just can't believe just how very fast this year has flew by. I remember when I was little and eager for Santa to come it took FOREVER for Christmas time to roll around. Now that I'm old(er) the year's just seem to fly by.

[JanaBanana]

Terri my daddy once told me that when you have children is when the time just flies by! Boy was he right!!!

[Ms_Speedy_Elf]

Oh I agree! My daughter will turn 23 five day's after Christmas and my son will turn 20 in March. It seems like only yesterday they were babies. Keep them little for as long as you can .I love this poem. I had it when my kids were small.


My Little Handprints
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
I always leave my handprints
On the furniture and walls
But everyday I'm growing big
And soon I'll be very tall
Then all my little handprints
Will be so hard to recall
So here's a special gift
Just so that you can say
This is how my hands looked
When I placed them here today

[Annette1990]

I agree it's hard to believe. Time flies that's for sure. I have already started my Christmas Shopping. S/O is done and now I am working on D/D.

[clarebear]

Woohoo!! :D It's getting closer!!

[Holiday]

I agree ~ I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. The years are just flying by. I totally believe that having kids makes time go faster, but I also think it's just a "getting older" thing that makes time go so much faster b/c we don't have any kids & yet the time just absolutely zooms right by. I can't imagine it going any faster!!! If my 40's go faster than my 30's are going, I'm going to be 50 tomorrow! :lol:

[Mumof2]

wow did that go by fast!! I cant wait!! :)

[TaraML]

I'm counting down ! Can only start on "98" days as there is only number 9 included :-)

[JanaBanana]

Thats really cute! Did you make that?

[trackrebel]

I love that one, too....very cute...I wish I had one as well

[kerst]

No, didn't make it myself. Had the luck to find it somewhere on a christmas fair. Couldn't resist !! It is my first decoration to go up every year !

It's not very clear but it says "how many days until Christmas ?" on top

[trackrebel]

it´s very nice...I´m hoping to find Christmas things on flea-markets and fairs this year, too

[kerst]

You shouldn't have a problem finding lovely things at the "weihnachtsmarkt"

[JanaBanana]

96 more!!

[trackrebel]

as Janet Jackson once sang "Funny how time flies when You´re having fun"....since I´m on this boards and my daughter has calmed down a bit after a few havoc weeks...time is passing quite fast

[sugarplum fairy]

Wow! I didn't realize it was that close. As soon as my daughter's wedding is over, I really need to get to work on Christmas.

[trackrebel]

when is that?

[JanaBanana]

Only 92 more!!!

[JanaBanana]

We Are Down To 3 Months People!!!! :D

[trackrebel]

YaaaaaaaaaaaaaY!!!! crazy isn´t it?

unfortunately I couldn´t go on with the Christmas shopping cos we had to help out my mom a bit this month...she didn´t ask for it...she would never do that...but I saw she needed it...so I gave it....even tho....there´s not so much to give from our side....but she helped out so much with Kandice when I was sick....and since ever I was born....that´s what a daughter should do I think

but I will sure go on in October...still earlier than usually....my Christmas shopping usually started late November....hahaha

90 days to go...tomorrow we are in the 80s....time is running so fast...I´m gettin dizzy

[SparkleNana]

Trackrebel - of course you helped your mom this month, when she needed help! Much as we love Christmas, family comes first in our hearts! Christmas is a way to CELEBRATE love - our love for family and friends. It does not come before family! :tree:

[trackrebel]

that´s true...I even felt bad I couldn´t help more....:(....If I could I would give her everything I have

[officepro4u]

I am really excited that it's nearing so quickly. I have bought a few gifts but will probably end up making most of my purchases after Thanksgiving.

[JOHNOR]

trackrebel, you did a lovely thing for your mum. i would have done the same, family is everything!

i won't be christmas shopping til december, that's when i get payed for the play i am starring in!

modest, me? lol!

[JanaBanana]

Thats nice tanja :)

oh give us the details of your play!!!

[trackrebel]

yeah...would be interessted in that as well

[ChristmasFan08]

The days ae flying bye
I remember the last few times i was on here i was saying it was getting close and that was at around 180 days to go

Time sure flies

[trackrebel]

wow....then You´ve been absent for quite some time...:D

[JanaBanana]

88 more!!

[JOHNOR]

oh give us the details of your play!!!

yeah...would be interessted in that as well

88 days left, woo hooo!

the play i am starring in is a historical play based on a city not far from me, i have to play a selection of characters, so it is quite challenging. i am so looking forward to it as it's my first well paid, professional role. wish me luck!

[SparkleNana]

Johnor -- I would think that tickets to see your play would be fabulous Christmas gifts! Do you get a certain number of free tickets? Not that they are really "free" since you are paying for them with your blood, sweat and tears! But I would be so honored if an actor gave me tickets to see them perform! And of course, they could be given as "early" Christmas gifts.

what a great idea, thanks so much! i will speak to the director about that. the play is running from 22nd october - 14th november, so we will be well and truly in the festive spirit!

[act_as_if]

87 days....

[trackrebel]

almost halfway through the 80s

[JanaBanana]

86 more!

[trackrebel]

imagine....soon it will only be 60 days to Christmas....oh my gosh.....86 days to go....and for me that day is almost over

[snowytree]

Makes me want to get out the Christmas stuff! I do love Fall and Thanksgiving though....so I will wait..but as soon as it's over..Im there.:wiggy:

[clarebear]

And not long for Halloween!! :pumpkin:

[snowytree]

And not long for Halloween!! :pumpkin:
Halloween too! Time for candy....and rocks! LOL just kidding but here is a Charlie Brown halloween clip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYFfOJPMnsw&feature=related

[ReineV]

I'm excited and nervous!! My fiance all at once decided that we should have a Halloween bash at our new house....leaving me solely responsible to produce the munchies! I was already planning on doing some more adventurous baking and cooking, but I thought I was only trying it out on him!!

[Sunshine73]

I just can't believe we're getting so close...the time is just flying by!!

[trackrebel]

84!!!

[Franco182]

Haha this is like torture for me having to countdown the days

Im already annoying my family by talking about christmas all the time and all the plans I have for it

But at least I can come here and talk to fellow Chritstmas enthusiasts about anything and everything about Christmas!

cheesy

[SparkleNana]

So - 84 days!! Do you have gifts to sort and wrap> I do!!!

[bhenson]

I am getting real excited about the holidays. I am making out my shopping lists and finishing up with my gifts . I have two stockings that need a few things then one yet to stuff. THen I can focus on the baking supplies.

Boy I love this time of year!

:))

[Christmas Snow Angel]

Unbelieveable...I haven't even started. I did fill out some christmas cards and I do have a list of gifts I want to buy but I haven't done any shopping. The economy is so bad and with only one of us working it's getting harder and harder to pay bills not alone buy gifts. I'm praying a job comes available soon for me.

[JanaBanana]

No shopping here yet.... need to get started soon.. Hubs got a bonus yesterday so thats what we will use.

[UnchosenFragmnts]

OCTOBER 1!!! The official countdown to Christmas started for me and the wife today. Unofficially we've been counting down for a good 2 months now but today we make it official. All that really means, is that unstoppable Christmas music around the house, Christmas shopping begins today and now when we have free time we start on our list of Christmas movies and tv shows that we watch every year. Our first Christmas decoration went up as soon as I rolled out of bed (Our Christmas countdown wall thingie). I am so excited!!!

The one down side to it all is that there is still a Halloween party to plan for. And while it is a nice time, I'd rather it just be over. The wife just loves planning a party, but BRING ON THE CHRISTMAS!!! Woo Hoo!

i wanna come to your house, it sounds like fun!

it's the official start of the season for me too! only i won't start watching movies until the end of the month and my christmas music won't start until november, i wanna try and keep it fresh.

[UnchosenFragmnts]

I'm literally like that little kid who wants to wake up at 4 am to see what Santa has brought and the parents make go back to sleep for a few hours.

I could really start prepping for christmas in august but it'd drive my wife insane if I did that. We occasionaly watch a christmas movie through the year but thats as much as I'll put her through. She loves Christmas as much as I do but she just loves everything. She's planning for a big halloween party and I'm all about the Christmas so I have to ease into it through October for her sake.

Today I have to decorate for the Halloween party outside with lights and ghosts and creepy stuff but I'd so much rather be stringing christmas lights and blowing up inflatable Frosty the Snowman.....I can wait til November 1st I guess..... Grrrr

[JanaBanana]

QVC had some neat halloween stuff on lat night...good deals too

[JanaBanana]

Nov 1st is when all my stuff goes up too

[SparkleNana]

UnchosenFragmnts - you and your wife sound like wonderful people!!!! What fun things you are doing for the holidays!

I really really wish I had a Christmas countdown wall hanging thingie! I think I am just going to number pieces of paper from -- 83 -- down to -- 0 --. And hang it up where people won't make fun of me. Oh well - they can make fun of me. I'm too happy to care. I love Christmas! (Halloween too.)

[TwinkleLights25]

I've got several presents for people, in my closet. Might have to buy some Christmas wrapping paper soon and wrap (atleast some of it!)! :)

[melindasue]

I wish October would just dissapear lol! I don't really like halloween because I HATE being scared and its the complete opposite of Christmas...but I always try to be something Christmasy for Halloween (I'm thinking Candy Cane this year) and that makes the month go by faster! My Christmas Season usually starts the day before Thanksgiving and Im thinking of bumping it up this year haha, but yay for 83 (almost 82) days! :D

[SparkleNana]

Melindasue -- I hate scary things at Halloween too! (I know, I know -- lots of people love them!) So I put out lots and lots of non-scary decorations and string orange and white sparkly lights through the bushes to make it magical. AND I buy lots of candy for the trick-or-treaters!

[trackrebel]

just so nobody forgets....82 days to Christmas!!!

[melindasue]

Sparklenana--Lol! Thats funny! Everyone in my house LOVES halloween, we put up our halloween decorations yesterday and I was like "can't we just put the Christmas stuff up?" lol and I have to admit i love all the orange around !

woohoo Eighhtyyy Onnneee !

[JOHNOR]

i want it to go slowly now!

i wanna savour every single day. i am so busy this month, i have got alot of lines to learn for the play i am in, plus i am busy teaching drama full time until my rehearsals start so i am having to lesson plan every night for that, it is doing my head in, but i still want it to go by slow.

[bastones]

Only 79-80 days now :snowball: - can't wait to do Christmas shopping and put the Christmas tree up - not long now!!:rudolph:

[JanaBanana]

[trackrebel]

YAY....we r below 80....79 is crazy....i just told my fiance....and he said...wow...that´s not far away no more....

[novelist]

:snowball:Now that i have finished my fall cleaning, I could concentrate on the holidays. I already have a lot of shopping done, but there's more to do. I also want to start baking. I'm going to bake pumpkin bread and i think some carrot cake muffins. I'll leave some out for us to enjoy now, and freeze some to take out during the holidays. I'll also bake two kinds of Christmas cookies.
I'm stocked up on Christmas csrds, I love sending them out. WE are also all set with wrapping paper and gift tags. I guess you could say. I'm pretty organized!

[irishsnow]

its just 9 weeks away!!!

Wow. I cant wait :tree:

[SparkleNana]

And -- the best part is, we get to talk about it with people who understand! Can you imagine the conversation with a "regular person"?

US: "Wow - Christmas is coming so fast?"

THEM: "What"?

US: Christmas! Isn't it racing towards us?

THEM: "I haven't even thought about Halloween yet! Good Grief!"

[trackrebel]

the conversation You just wrote down...sounded like me talking with my mother....:D she likes Christmas....but she wants everything at the time...:D....I was always the different one in the family...and I´m proud of it
