Has anyone seen the football commercial that is playing the song, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year? I love it! Football and Christmas, these are a few of my favorite things! =)

Well crap.....

Just got back from the vet...our dog is in the middle stages of congestive heart failure...vet says we can treat some of the symptoms...but he doesn't know for how long....he said this can go anywhere from two months....six months would be the tops....

Guess that's the bad thing about pets...wife is crushed....we don't have kids yet, so they really are our kids....and that is her baby....

But ya know, it could be worse....we could have needed to put him down today....as it is know, we can bring him home and spoil him every more. He isn't in pain...doctor assured us of that...we get the chance to make the next few months memorable.....that'll be fun.....

Dang dogs....just breaks your heart....

Sorry to hear about this

Ooo. Love this. You will see that many of the members have nicknames in addition to their real names and their "stage" names!!!

Thanks Bradmac for the nice welcome! I see you've picked up on my lifelong nickname already. Last name is Drexelius and everyone I know naturally calls me (and pretty much the rest of my family) Drex.

Perhaps I'll put Santa hats on the ghoulish goblins I'll be hanging up soon outside hahahaha
Oh I can't wait to decorate!

And I always forget that we're all in different time zones on here!! Hahaa.
Not to mention I'm a partial night hawk...

You are a great addition to our group. Have you, or anyone else, seen "Christmas Snow"?

drexelius said:
Thanks everyone for the warm Christmassy welcome - it's a great group of folks on here- definitelythe friendliest forum I've ever seen and all about my favorite subject - Christmas! So far on our Friday night movie night we've seen Surviving Christmas (Ben Affleck), White Christmas (the night before we visited Rosemary Clooney's house), and Elf. Next Friday we're slated for Jingle All the Way. Almost getting chilly enough here in Ohio for putting a couple of logs on the fireplace - have resisted so far but we're getting close...that'll really make me know that we're getting close.

Not only is MC multi-talented, she is the ear to one of Hollywood's BEST, and is likewise talented, herself. We are SO lucky to have her here!!!

Clips for your Christmas themed DVD?? Do you make your own movie??? If so, that's pretty cool!!

Just at the top, under the navigation information you will see several almost-square boxes. One should "say," "My Merry Christmas Gift Exchange." If that doesn't help, post again!!!

I had signed up for the Gift Exchange. Does anyone know who the coordinator is? Trying to look for a thread, but can't find one either.:-o

Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!

Hi every one!

We got the keys to our house!

We are very busy moving, painting, laying the floor, building our own kitchen, tiling, visiting IKEA etc. It is a lot of hard work, but it it so much fun and so worth it!

The only setback is that we still do not have internet! so that's why I have not been on here at all! (that and the fact we are so busy!)
Hope all of you are well! I am still counting down with you, even though offline and from a great distance!

All the sheep I had are on strike. They are overworked and underpaid. I kept them up all night counting them over and over and they just had enough!

Sorry, Made!
