COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING 2020: 321 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 2020: 296 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 235 DAYS

Happy Double Digits January! Yes, we are 10 days into the new year. Crazy huh? But fortunately we have 356 to go. But we have a lot LESS than that to go to our 3 big countdowns here. First, we have 321 days until Thanksgiving. Next, we have 296 days until November. Finally, we have 235 days until the Bers. There's your 3 counts for this TGIF Friday morning. Thanks again to CW for his bi-weekly Thursday post. I'll be thinking of a poll this weekend for next Thursday. But as much as I love Thursdays (for obvious reasons) I also love FRIDAYS (for more obvious reasons). And that would be today. It's been a long 5 day week hasn't it? We're not used to it too much with all of the holidays we've had lately. Yes indeed. Have a great Double Digits January!​

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING 2020: 320 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 2020: 295 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 234 DAYS

Happy Just January! Yes, it's "Just January". So what? Let's enjoy it. I am. I have my Christmas tree up and it's a Saturday. What could be better? Oh it's going to also be 60 degrees today. Yeah...crazy I know. Fortunately this isn't Christmas though because we do not want that type of warmth for that day. Oh yeah let's get to our 3 countdowns. We have 320 days until Thanksgiving; 295 days until November; and 234 days until The Bers. That good enough for a Saturday? I say so. That Bers number really doesn't look terrible at all. We're a little bit over a month away from being down to 200 and whenever any count reaches 200 and goes into the "1s" to me it's not crazy far away anymore. You can kind of dream about it a little then very early on. I dream about Thanksgiving though year-round. How about you? Have a great Just January!​

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING 2020: 319 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 2020: 294 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 233 DAYS

Happy Dozen Days of January! We are into the 12th of the month now. Not a bad start to January here. A mild and warm morning almost feeling like late spring. By the way posting this count every morning is something I really enjoy doing. I just wanted to let you know that (maybe that's why I've never missed one in over 1 year + 2 months of counting the last 2 Thanksgivings so far). Oh and this is why I enjoy doing it: 319 days until Thanksgiving; 294 days until November; and 233 days until The Bers. That's why because the counts all keep going down not up. Imagine if tomorrow I posted it was 400 days till Thanksgiving? I think we'd all scream and cry. Luckily that won't happen. Anyway, I found 2 little turkeys to make in my freezer. Oh yeah so I can have 2 mini Thanksgivings at some point. Anyone else tempted? Have a great Dozen Days of January!​

Our minis always turn into full blown outtings mainly due to the fact I save items only available at Thanksgiving to make. Bags of dried stuffing cubes last for 8+ months. My turkey stock only carries over to the next dinner so you cant get ahead on that stuff unfortunately.

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING 2020: 318 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 2020: 293 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 232 DAYS

Happy Leftover Christmas Lights! Oh yeah there's a good 50% of the lights still out there as we approach the middle of January. Not bad but the weather this weekend being unreasonably nice for January was the cause of a lot of people taking them down. No worries. We'll enjoy the ones that are left on still. And guess what? Guess when they will go back up again? Oh around OUR favorite time of the year. Let's look at our counts to start the week. We have 318 days until Thanksgiving. We have 293 days until November. And we have 232 days until the Bers. Bam just like that all 3 counts move down 1 notch today. Funny how that happens every day isn't it? That 200 marker for the Bers is really what I am personally eyeing. But that will still be over a month away. For now, let's all enjoy our turkey thoughts this Monday. And yes CW I may be enjoying one of those "mini" turkeys and it will probably wind up being a lot more of a Thanksgiving meal than expected. Have a great Leftover Christmas Lights Monday!​

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING 2020: 317 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 2020: 292 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 231 DAYS

Happy Hanging on to January Mildness! It's still not bad here for January. We might get a shower or 2 later today. That's about it. There is some snow expected on Saturday but we'll see by then. It definitely looks like the colder weather will come back later this week. But before we get there let's live in the present. We have 317 days until Thanksgiving. We have 292 days until November. And we have 231 days until The Bers. That good? I would say so. It's nice to have 2 counts in the 2s and only 1 in the 3s. And actually in 17 days we'll celebrate reaching the 300 day marker to Thanksgiving. Another big huge marker. That will happen on the last day of this month of January. Still a long ways to go to get there. But thus far the first half of January has moved along at a decent pace I think. Speaking of pace always pace yourself at the Thanksgiving table or you'll reach a turkey coma. Words to live by. Have a great Hanging on to January Mildness Day!​
