Countdown to Christmas 2007!!!

eeeweow! Coffee-Peach blend? My lips are curling!

Good Morning - Monday, Monday....Bah-da-ba-da-da-da..
What an Opera! Great work Bing!! I can't get that song out of my head, "3 Coins in a Fountain"...my mom, who loved to sing and had a lovely voice, used to sing all the pop-hits to me; instead of story telling before a nap, she would sing to me. My favorites: "Que Sera, Sera" (Whatever will be, will be) and "Mr. Sandman"...but 3 Coins in a Fountain, I can hear her voice now...."Make it Mine, Make it Mine, Make it Mine!"

Where is JAY?

Have a Monday everyone!

Hello Everyone! I used to post over on Christmas.com as 'snowangel' before the old site went down and have finally found my way back home. It's wonderful to see so many familiar names here, and the countdown in all it's glory! And on a christmassy note, I saw my first Christmas cards of this season on sale here in England today, in my local newsagents, along with a display of Halloween related goodies. It's coming ....

Welcome Back SnowAngel!!

 

[Crown 84]

Ah, but Binger's aren't.
They love all things coffee.

Hi guys, hope everyone is having a great Monday. I was going crazy yesterday, I had no internet or phone from Saturday evening until well into Sunday afternoon so I have lots of posting to catch up on and still learning my way around the forum.

How is it most threads change into conversation about either coffee or pastries? Lol

Boy it was another hot one today 103, it was hard to take when I was trying to find Christmas items. Did find a few though and was all excited. Came across an idea for Chocolate dipped spoons for coffee. After dipping them in chocolate then you dip them into crushed candy canes. Suppose to be yummy. They sure are pretty. Gonna try that one. I have done the ones with chocolate and cinnamon which is pretty good but this one sounds better. I am going to make a bunch of different types of dipped spoons and wrap them in clear plastic and put them into deep Christmas mugs and give to the coffee hounds on my list. Those always go over pretty good.
Anyway, I found out today that Walmart and Lowes are starting to put out Christmas things, well they have them in the isles in the boxes. They aren't on the shelves yet but getting close. Isn't that a milestone. lol. Christmas is getting closer. wahoooooooo.

You bet, Renn!
Our Crabtree Valley Mall will start full-scale Christmas decorating in about 5 weeks!

63 days to the Season
105 days to Christmas Day.

It hit 101 in Raleigh yesterday (unusual for September around here) but cooler weather is just around the corner.
"Gabrielle" paid a brief, wet visit at our coast and moved on.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, my fellow Christmas comrades.

Oh, Clark. The coffee-sleep jokes have been running between Binger and me ever since 2 websites ago back at Christmas.Com.
It's a.....well.....long story.
Feel free to pick a side and join in!

Hi everyone, it's a rainy day here. Been watching "The Polar Express" my kids love it. Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!

Dancing Boy, reporting for duty...Oh my aching feet...What a crazy few weeks I've had...I feel like I've been going one hundred miles an hour for a month now...Hopefully things will calm down a bit cause I'm gettin' tired...The stress is beginning to wear on me as well...I'm usually much more relaxed than this...

Five weeks till they decorate Crown? How cool is that? I can't wait!!! The Downside is that it's at this time of year that time REALLY flies....And, at least for me, it's been a really fast year already...It'll be February in about an hour and a half.

A big, fat hello to all those new, and all those old, and all those in between...I've been neglecting my posting lately bacause everything else seems so overly busy...I'd rather be doing this than just about everything else but life does what life does...

Good Tuesday morning Christmas friends!!! Its been a while and time gets away from me....the 100 day mark is almost here ......like Jay said "time is flying"......I havent got around to making any decorations yet .gotta get going! Have a wonderful day!!!

Five weeks till they decorate Crown? How cool is that? I can't wait!!!

That's right, Jay.
As the years have gone by, they have started decorating earlier and earlier. Now, they are in "full dress" well before Halloween.
Since they hold trick-or-treating in the mall, it's a little odd to see all the kids in their spooky costumes walking around among Christmas decorations!

 

[JayIsh]

In as much as I love Christmas Decorations, I do wish they'd wait until at least after Halloween to place them. I really enjoy the fall/Halloween decorations too, it's a shame to miss out on them in order to rush the next holiday's decor. But I guess there is nothing like seeing the Christmas decorations for the first time in almost a year...Warms your heart, fills you with enthusiasm and excitement...Even if it is a little early...

 

[Crown 84]

I feel the same way you do, my friend.

 

[Cedarfarm]

Hey Friends!!

JAY? Is that REALLY you? Geesh. Don't disappear like that! lol...we worry, that's all. (I'm not even a Mom and I act like one...uh-oh.)

That just isn't right. Christmas displays on Halloween. Just say no. Just throw open that window and yell out: "I'm 'kinda upset' ...AND I'm NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! Heehe!

Have a Tuesday afternoon everyone!
