Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was another busy weekend. We had a new festival in town: The Chick'n Pick'n Festival. The largest business in our area is Claxton Poultry, although we are primarily known for Old Fashioned Claxton Fruitcake. I've always thought it was unfair to the poultry operation. They are by far the largest employer here, but the water tower in the middle of town proclaims "CLAXTON, GA - FRUITCAKE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD", even though their employment is limited and seasonal.

Anyway, the festival was pretty good. They had a chicken cookoff, hot wing eating contest, music, arts & crafts, etc. But, boy, it was hot outside. there's obviously nothing glamourous about a poultry plant (or a fruitcake bakery, for that matter), but hopefully the festival will keep growing, finally giving out largest employer the respect it deserves.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Sounds like a great time!

Here I always thought that the town near me was Fruitcake Capitol of the World. Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas. I love their fruitcake! cheesy
 
Can all you guys up north put up a HUGE FAN and blow some cooler weather my way????????? PLEASE! :cry:

This heat is killing me!
 
Good luck with the job hunt, Christmasstar! You are always welcome to come to the 'burbs of Philadelphia to hang out with me and the little guys!! :D

Christmas-a-Holic, I wish we could share our cooler weather! Everyday this week is in the 70s - it's wonderful! I would prefer it cooler, though.. I am nuts!

It can never get cold enough for me. I tell people that and then they see me with a coat. They actually ask, "why are you wearing a coat, I thought you like the cold weather"? Duh! I like cold weather, I never said I want to freeze to death! Lol! I have been here in Texas all my life and our winters are usually mild. We sometimes see days when it gets into the teens but it goes up and down and we can see winter days in the 50's. It's hard to believe as HOT as it gets here and when we get one day of "cold" weather around 45 degrees (not cold enough for me) and people will say, "it's too cold, I wish winter was over"! I know people who love our summers. I think they are crazy! Lol!

I do admit when it gets close to March I kind of look forward to some warmer weather but not HOT! I at least want to have a winter first. Overall I prefer COLD weather!
 
How weird is this? I am in bed on my laptop, my husband, Snow-in-Texas, is sitting right next to me playing XBOX and I looked down and it reads that he is viewing this page. He don't have any web pages opened on his computer! Lol. He has been away from his computer and sitting here for at least 20 minutes.
 
Good morning all!

Just got back from the Dr. office with LC, no chicken pox but he has hand, foot, mouth, and it really has knocked the little ball of fire on his butt. His throat is also very red, so she said to feed him soft foods, ice cream, popsicles and so on. He is so cute, he was crying that he wanted to go home and as we were walking out of the office he was still crying but said "I wanna see Halloween decorations." So I took him to see some at CVS to help him ease his pain, and now he is watching Frosty's Winter Wonderland. I have to go to work in 2 hours, long shift today.

Have a great day!

I'm a winter, too. I love wearing sweaters! (They're poofy, so I don't have to watch what I eat as much cheesy)

My first full week in the ranks of the unemployed. Going to talk to the folks at the trucking school today. Already have a job offer to team drive with my girlfriend once I have my licence.
Who knows, one day I may show up in your town and have a cup of tea with you! (if you live in the USA or Canada that is) cheesy

I barely run the heater during the winter. I just bundle up in lots of layers of clothes. People complain my house is chilly but I love it! Of course when the grandbaby is over I don't keep it that chilly.

Whoever was watching the game knows that last play was terrible! At first I screamed with excitement thinking we won then went right to, "you gotta be kidding"! Oh well, maybe we will get the next game!

They are showing middle 80's for us the next couple of days. Today it is going to be back up to 89.:-?
 
Darnit! I have chores to do! I get up walk into another room to pick something up and walk right back to the computer.

Don't you all agree these forums are addictive? My name is Christmas-A-Holic and I am a MMC-A-Holic! Proud of it too! Ok people time to admit you are an MMC-A-Holic! cheesy
