Evening. Hope everybody is in good spirits, whether they are just waking up, been up for a while or just chilling out at night. That is depending where you are living. Today has been a very laid-back day. As I mentioned earlier, I have been watching movies, working out and kicking the football around the backyard. Just getting outside and training for football next season is always good. Sorry if you guys are confused, when I say football, I mean soccer. Just used to calling it football. Anybody who plays football would know where I'm coming from when I say that it means the world to you. Seriously, I have so much passion for football. My love for it is unbelievable. I mean, I have been training, kicking the football around and getting ready for next season and it is approximately 5 months away. Nothing wrong with being prepared and excited. We're guaranteed a spot in the semi-finals for futsal, so I'm pumped up for that. Call me crazy, but I hope to get scouted one day. I don't care if it's for a top club in Australia or England or if it's for reserve grade. Playing in front of a crowds is always good. I don't mean to be modest, but here is a little bit of information about me. I'm a striker, the leading goal scorer for my team, the leading goal scorer for my school team, the leading goal scorer for my futsal team, I've got one of the most deadliest strikes in my age group and I have been told that I have a bright future in football, whether it's for local league or playing at a high level. Catch you later everybody. Dinner awaits.
 
Good morning, Christmas family!

I pray this finds everyone well!

Although I did accidentally hit the MMC link at the top of my browser when shutting down the computer yesterday I haven't been on for a few days. There are times when life gets in the way, though. I really missed you guys! Hopefully I'll have a bit more time this evening to catch up on everything.

Yesterday I finally got down to the store and decorated for Christmas. I would like to do something better, but we only have a small area and so I could only put a small tree up on the top of one of our hutches. We have asked for a bigger booth, but so far nothing. There is a waiting list of over 400 potential vendors, but hopefully we will get the space before one of them as we have been in the mall since it first opened. When I was getting the check for last month's sales, I saw we have already made rent for this month - which was great news until I found out that a customer's house burned down and she replaced a lot of her stuff out of our booth.

Have a MERRY day!!!!!!!!!!
 
So the night didn't go completely as planned but I got to see Santa and some Christmas lights so I guess it wasn't completely horrible.

Well, any time you get to see Santa.....
Exactly what I was thinking. Santa makes everything better! :smile:

It made me think of the scene from Elf. When the announcement is made about Santa coming and Buddy Elf's reaction, it's kind of the same reaction I get about Santa. =)

Since I woke up so early I ate breakfast, organized my grocery shopping list, and started cleaning up around my apartment.

Last night I went to my loft closet and found some more Christmas decorations. YAY!! :dance:
 
Well, I had a great day of nothing...

Tomorrow.....online shopping and more nothing....

It's tough being sick.
Wow Coach! Take it easy man! :D

Good to see you back. =)

I was just wondering where you been. Good to have you back!
 
Good Morning MMC!

Had a great time at my first Christmas party of the season last night!.
It was a desert night with The Fidgets as the entertainment.

I have company coming for lunch today, so I should go and see if I can find the top of my kitchen table again!

Have a great day everyone!!!
 
Good Morning MMC!!!!!!!!!! It is going to be a warm day here in central Indy with a high in the mid 50's. I have some shopping to do later and I also need to get some cleaning done. The first thing I'm going to do though is watch all of the christmas specials on food network this morning. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!
 
******** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 21 ********


Good First December Morning, Christmas Aficionados.

Good Golly!
After today we will have completed THREE WEEKS of Christmas Season 2011!
How can we be that far along already? Almost half way from the start of the Season to Christmas Day itself!
(Better hope you're well along in your shopping!)

Speaking of well along:
Days to Christmas Day: 22
THREE WEEKS from TOMORROW, Folks!

A tad warmer here today where we started at 39 and have warmed to 44 on the way up to about 60 by this afternoon.
A nice nip in the air to go Christmas Tree hunting to, for which we are just about to launch.

You have a Sensational Saturday, a Fantastic First December Weekend Day and a Dashing Decoration Day, Friends.
(I recall reading somewhere that the first Saturday in December is the single most popular day for Christmas decorating. No more excuses not to snap photos for the Blossoms thread!)
 
oh lord....st. nicolas day is on tuesday and besides kandice s present i got none yet...i only get gifts for the kids on that day....so it is okay...but i dunno what to get for em even....lol....anyhow, i am sure i will find sumthin nice....today i will get the apples, oranges, nuts and chocolates for the boots and socks

I do have a few pictures to post. I will try to get that done this evening!
 
Paula Deen's house looks beautiful all decorated for Christmas. Especially knowing that it was filmed in may.
 
oooooh my i cheated this year. I popped off an order for gifts through LTD. lol 3/4 of the shopping was done in 15 minutes last night BUT bear in mind I have been pouring over that catalog for weeks writing and crossing out stuff, so I was ready to do what I had to do and not take that much time when it came to the order itself.

Gunna finish cleaning today and get some baking done. I might make buckeyes today IF I have enough chocolate that is.

everyone have a good day:busy:

Wow....I remember us talking about her filming that. Has it been that long? Seems like it was late September or early October...unbelievable.
 
Saturday morning ... Staying out of Mr.'s way while he finishes the Christmas packages that are going to be mailed. Later in the day I'll add some icicles to the little tree, and decorate the bigger tree this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Some cards going out today, the rest plus the packages Monday. Hard to believe, but all the shopping and wrapping are done, unless we spot something that we want to add to someone's loot. The front of the house is decorated with an LED wreath and a row of lighted candy canes, a spotlight on the wreath on the front door, and the bigger Christmas tree smack dab in the middle of the front window. Maybe I'll make chocolate chip cookies next weekend. I make them special for Mr.---coconut instead of nuts, and coconut extract instead of vanilla. Adds a subtle coconut flavor and chewy texture. And I have a new hand mixer to make the mixing easier.

Oh, yeah, the Christmas season is here! I'll be back later in the day to see what all of you are doing with your weekend.

I have company coming for lunch today, so I should go and see if I can find the top of my kitchen table again!

Now I feel better about the accumulation on our kitchen table. So we aren't the only ones!
 
Good afternoon, Christmas family !

I wasn't here yesterday because of a new stressful situation with my job/compay but I am not going talk about that now..

I had my one year eye exam after surgery today and they dilated my eyes. I am still seeing things kind of odd so if I type something that doesn't make sense I am going to lay it on to that.

We had to buy a new angel for outside - our old one whose lights still work, has a short in the cord ! The new angel is outside set up and ready to do her Christmas duty starting tonight.

I have been getting so many wonderful Christmas cards from all of you - Thank you all - It means so much to me.

Tomorrow I am off to good old Akron,OH where my sister is. It is our annual decorate her tree and act like silly loons together day !! Plus I am going to give her the birthday gifts I got her even though her birthday was December 1. We are planning on Christmas shopping too !!

I don't know what kind of Christmas programming is on this evening but I am really feeling Christmassy today !!

Snowflake - I hope you ane Har are doing well ((HUGS))

Sugar - Hope hubby and kids and yourself as well as sweet Ella are doing good xo ((HUGS))

MerryCarey - I would love to see your trees - Are there pics of them someplace on the site ? ((HUGS))

CAH and SIT - I never said congratulations to you on winning the gobble contest - congrats !! It was brilliant and SO cute !! I hope your furkids are doing good too !

Bradmac, your honor - Hope you are doing well too !! Thinking of your brother's girlfrend and Gail, especially now ((HUGS))

Made - I hope your allergies are under control and I am still thinking of your Niece and praying xo

Gabulldawg - Still praying for your dad, you and Brandi and of course Snowball xo

Binger and Crown - I want you both to know I love you equally so I now drink COFFEE AND TEA at the same time !! ox

I was so upset and disappointed - Coca Cola CANCELD the white polar bear cans.......I didn't even get to buy any .......Guess it was too much trouble for people to ACTUALLY READ the outside of the can instead of associate it by color. Good grief, Charlie Brown !

((HUGS)) Also to MerryBells, MerryMistletoe,HollyJells and everyone.

I think it is time for a nap so I can go into Turbo Christmas Power later this evening !! xo

Have a great time with your sister, CM3!! Sending hugs from Har & I! xo

My mate was really putting presure on me yesterday to help her . her partner had to go up and get the decor down from the roof space. as she could not get anyone else to do it so he had to . it took him about well over a hour and she keep texting to say she does not know here to start. and she was sore .stuff like that. she thinks am going down to hers tomorrow to put up her outdoor stuff
Was gonna go shopping. but guesss not. and as well its sunday . she has no help at all she even asked me to bring a mate of mine down to help to. He said that he was not going as she made the choice to move away so guess its up to me and her partner and being honest hes not much help.
So that my story finished.. so hope you guys are all doing good and anyone thats not. hope your better soon

Good Morning, Christmas Family!! :grin:

Lots to do today! Need to venture out and get some Christmas shopping done. I have my game plan, so hopefully I'll get most of it done today.

It's very cool outside. In the 40's, and very windy. Clouds have rolled in, too. My kind of winter day!

My dvr is telling me that it's full and I need to delete some shows, or nothing new will record :oops: I'll have to pick & choose. Thank God for Hallmark re-airing their movies!

I've been loving all of the Christmas cards from you guys. Instant smiles! Thank you, again.

Hope you all have a jolly day! Merry Christmas!
