Christmas Countdown - 2009

[SparkleNana]

Good Morning, Precious People!

Christmasgranny - thank you for the reminder that tomorrow is Rudolph Day!! So far - it looks like a clear weekend! But... have you noticed how "real life" can come at you out of nowhere? To be "safe"... I might start Rudolph Day fun today!

Trackkrebel -- that little Kandice is one lucky little girl -- to be celebrating Rudolph Day before she is even three years old! What a nice mommy you are!

Not going shopping today. ) It will have to wait until tomorrow.

It's -40 C out there. If you want to know how cold that is in the U.S., it's -40F.

Degrees in fahrenheit and celsius reach the same temp at -40.
Alternatively, 28 C (that's a bit hot) would be the same as 82F.

Little conversion lesson for those that care.

What it boils down to is that it's a crazy kind of cold outside and I'm going to hibernate today and go out tomorrow when it will only be -27C. That's still cold, but a temp. I can live with.

At some point, I'll do some housework, but right now I'm in a reading and posting and playful kind of mood.

:hello: Christmas Comes, But Once a Year is playing on MCR.

thank You...we might even watch both movies....I just love both movies...because they come with a good story in the end and are sensefull...even if they include things like speaking reindeer...a snowmonster and a green guy that hates Christmas....in the end...they teach good lessons...and they are just fun to watch

what are You doing for Rudolph´s Day?

 

[Binger]

Thank you for the science lessonA untie.. can you calculate hours of sleep a person uses verus the hours they actually need and apply the equation to the greater North Carolina population?

Ever notice how Jay and Beyonce are NEVER here at the same time.... very interesting.. very interesting...

..... can you calculate hours of sleep a person uses verus the hours they actually need and apply the equation to the greater North Carolina population?.....

Well, let's see.....
18 divided by 18 = 0.
0 X the popularion of NC = 0.
OMG - We don't exist! I must sleep more to keep the population alive.
(Thanks, Bing! Now I can justify a longer afternoon nap.)

Well, if your mouth is now open wide like the Aflack duck's in the Yogi Berra commercials, I don't blame you.

I think we need to shift gears to the count:
Days to the Season: 293
Days to Christmas Day:335
Now only 19 days to the 1/4 Season mark! How can it be so close??

MUCH warmer here this morning, where the thermometer stands at 48.
But alas - the snow has all disappeared like the coffee in Binger's cup.
(Unliked them, though, we don't have a vat to pour more out of.)

Have a Stupendous Saturday, Folks!
I hope your Weekend is off to a Wonderous start!

.....reduced from £13 (approx $26) to £4 ($8), and a huge set of nail varnishes, emery boards etc in a case, reduced from £18 ($36) to £4 ($8).....

Thanks for the conversion lesson, Sing.
So the pound is worth exactly twice the dollar, now. That makes it easy!

Hello to all that read this. Hope your day is going great! The sun is shining but it is very cold out so I'm going to stay in and cook, clean and watch the Rudolph Day movie and read the book chosen so I'll be ready for tomorrow. Take care and happy Rudolph Day Eve!

 

[SparkleNana]

AuntieMistletoeear - I appreciated that easy-to-remember lesson about Farenheit and Celcesius temperatures. I would like to be able to spell them... but it is nice to know the little hints for how they work!

And staying home at -40 --- a very good idea!!!!

 

[JOHNOR]

hi all!

i am having a nice saturday night in tonight, i might even treat myself to a mcdonalds for dinner, i am really wanting a double cheeseburger. i have been good today and have only eaten some fruit and a bowl of cereal so i think i deserve a treat!

 

[SparkleNana]

TrackRebel -- celebrating Rudolph Day for me often involves playing with Christmas items -- gifts, wrapping supplies, decorations, the Christmas notebook, etc. Of course, I don't say that I am playing. I say that I am "organizing things".

Sometimes I read threads at our sister site, MagicalHolidayHome.com -- about Christmas notebooks or things to do on Rudolph Day.

And then, there are the Rudolph Days when I have Christmas parties - without telling any of the guests that they are Christmas parties. I had a brunch in September of 2008 -- so it could be outside in good weather. And I could invite lots of people because it was outside. I didn't tell people it was my "Christmas brunch". But I invited all the people that I WOULD HAVE invited to a Christmas brunch, if I had enough room inside. It was very nice. I was happy. The guests were happy. Even my husband was happy --- he sometimes likes to go to parties but does not like to give them. But he was playing golf that day - so he escaped the work and had a nice day too. So everyone was happy.

 

[SparkleNana]

Johnor - you DO deserve a treat! I consider food from McDonalds to be a great trest! Hot and tasty and delicious! I usually go by myself because I have a lot of people in my life who are kind of "food police" about healthy foods. They tend to spoil my enjoyment of McDonalds. So, I don't mention it to them and I get rid of the evidence. (A stray wrapper in the back seat will give you away every time!)

cheesy Okay, Binger and Crown ... I've done extensive research and have discovered two very interesting concepts coming out of the University of North Carolina.
If you don't get enough sleep = get a new mattress.
If you are getting too much sleep = get a new mattress.

Wonder if those students were studying for regular careers or advanced technology for the posturepedic academy. Hmmm.

Have to admit, I thought about Crown first thing this morning. I laid in bed for 20 minutes before getting up, contemplating perhaps drifting back off to change the ending of my dream, but O'Malley heard me stretch and started knocking on the door. That's when the smell of coffee forced me up. That's when I thought of Binger.

:hello: As I was stepping into my slippers, I thought of everyone I know who enjoys Christmas all year because the song "Step into Christmas" popped into my head.

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

cheesy Sparklenana - spelling is something I'm pretty good at, it's the little words I sometimes mix up if my fingers type faster than my brain delivers the words.

It really wasn't much of a lesson, just the basic really hot and really cold temps were offered as a comparison.

For Rudolph's Day, I'll try and stick my clown nose on O'Malley the cat's face.

Pictures to follow. :rudolph:


:treeguy: On second thought - y'all don't want to see pictures of my scarred face, do ya?

I remember You posting a thread because of Your party....I remember You served a drink that Johnor? recommened?....I think there was something like that.....I understand Your husband not liking to throw parties....it costs money...and brings work........it´s fun...but work...

Sigh!
When one doesn't have a cat and doesn't drink coffee (or when the cat drinks all the coffee and passes out) there's so little motivation to get one out of bed in the morning.
Thank goodness for this board!
