The final gift was purchased today. The last boxes are ready to be sent out via UPS tomorrow. All gifts leaving the house are wrapped and ready for delivery. A few in-house gifts left and will be wrapped Friday.

Made the dough tonight for the first batch of kolackys. After dinner tomorrow I'll do the baking.

Just need to make the list and I'll be checking it twice for the final market run Friday morning . . . at least the goal is to be the final market run.

Enjoy!
 
-reindeer-Happy Pines Hump 1 Week to Go DAY!-gift-

O'Malley the cat and I will be at the Shispering Pines tonight; I heard there will be merry door prizes for everyone tonight.

Three more days of work and I'm off for two weeks. Had insomnia last night, but that comes with the season for me. I'll be too excited to sleep fully until Boxing Day.

+h Keep a merry thought in your head!



 
Happy 1 Week Until Christmas MMC! Unreal to think that. Looks like most of the country will be above average temps for Christmas this year. Luckily nothing crazy like in 2015 I think it was when it was 70 on Christmas Eve. It was crazy. Should be low-mid 40s for highs around Christmas Eve/Day and dry. Not terrible. Would be nice to have snow but that's ok. Have a great 1 Week Until Christmas Pines Day!
 
Good Morning.
Hey! ONE WEEK TO GO!
(And I do mean precisely one week.)

But, lt's check the chart to be certain:
Days to Christmas Day: 7
Yep. It's true. It's really true!!

Wonderfully warm yesterday. So warm only a very light jacket was needed for most of the day, if even that.
The down side? Plenty of rain.
Now this morning is bright, clear and sunny but we begin today at 36 degrees and will not get out of the 40's all day.
Tonight, and for the succeeding two, we will have lows in the 20's, as Mother Nature gives us a little taste of pending winter.

But, what else is pending?
I think you know!
Tonight is the very last Wednesday open house at the 'Pines before Christmas.
(Carl of course is giving the staff Christmas Day off so this will be the last pre-Christmas shindig at our inn of choice.)
Our activities director and his pal O'Malley the cat have a slam-bang finish planned, the details of which have been kept under (Christmas) wraps. But it's bound to be fun, festive, and very, very seasonal!
So come, enjoy, get a box of take-out red and green frosted fired twinkies and enjoy yourselves to the hilt!

Until that time then, you guys have a Wildly Wonderful Wednesday, OK?
 
Good One-Week-Till-The-Big-Day, Christmas friends!

We went out for Bernie's store Christmas party last night, and my company Christmas party is tomorrow night, then Nancy's office party is Friday night. Poor Lulu is spending the holidays home alone. I better watch out for booby traps when I finally get home.

I hope y'all have a great One-Week-Till-The-Big-Day day! :D

I know in SoCal the forecast is for, what would be for me a very nice Christmas - 58 degrees with a 40% chance of rain.
 
Today is the judging of our cube decorating contest where I work!

I am a real mixed bag of emotions at this point in the year, same as every year.

Happy and Sad at the same time that we are only 7 days from the best day of the year! I'm sure someone else understands! I wish and wish all year long for Christmas season to get here, and then *POOF* it seems like it flies by!

Let us know how you do! I'll be you have a good chance of taking the prize.

Last year we had a BIG decorating contest at my office. This year we have one Christmas tree, one wreath, and a poinsettia. Well, it's been a crazy-busy year.

I had my desk area decorated, but someone decided my group had to move across the aisle to the other side of the room, so I had to take it all down. Tomorrow's my last workday before Christmas (hooray!), so it wasn't worth putting it all up again, especially with the piled-up workload after the move.
 
Hi everyone! Went back to the doctor today as I am still sick and very run down from all of this coughing (it started 12/05. Pretty much took my whole month of December from me!) I am still on an antibiotic but Dr. believes we have killed all infection and the rest is just viral. But, due to my other health issues, she wants me to do a round of steroids. I HATE steroids. But I understand why she wants me to have them and I will take them as I am told. The only benefit from them is they give me energy which I can definitely use since I have been so tired and run down this month. I am behind on everything! And, it means I can definitely go to the Nutcracker Ballet this week as planned with my husband which is one of my favorite parts of Christmas! I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Wednesday! See you all at the Pines!

Dont worry my whole house is already feeling it. This year seemed to have went extra fast.
 
Merry Wednesday everyone. I've been trying to recuperate from my lens implant. I'm exhausted.

Ace is begging me to go to the Pines tonight and he said he'd go without me if I'm sleeping. I'm sure he just wants some fired twinkies or, maybe, he wants to meet O'Malley. He favors cats over other dogs....funny little guy.

He just came in and he's dressed and ready for tonight. He's expecting cold weather.

Hello all! Can't believe how many days it's been since I've checked. This is the time of the year I want to be here everyday, but it's also the time of the year I'm so incredibly busy. I've been working overtime and I've been busy (like I know a lot of you are), with family get togethers, trying to get ready for Christmas, lets minute prep, baking cookies - we've baked 60 or so dozen so far, candy, candy, fudge, Chex mix, and sugar pecans. I've been whooped lately! We've also had three nurses quit in the ER just this week and we were already two short, so it's making for some more added stress for the ones, including myself who still work there and give extra of ourselves. I hope you're all well and ready for the big day! Can't believe we're just one week away! It's so exciting!

I'm glad you returned to your doctor and can manage through the play and Christmas. I don't see my doctor until late January for a routine visit and to check on a lump in my arm that I think is just a cyst. If my cough isn't gone by then; we'll check that out too.

The first time I watched the Nutcracker on TV, I was scared by it. I took a few children from a group home I worked in to a live production when I lived in Toronto and while most of them just liked getting "off the grounds", two actually enjoyed all the costumes, dancing and music.
