Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Christmasstar]

I hope you find someone to take your shift and that you are better soon, Christmasstar. Take care!

Thanks, I contacted everyone on the list and no one can take it so I called the boss, I am sure she will not want me coughing like this while serving subs. Still waiting to hear back from her.
For now, I will just work on trying to drown this cold!

Good afternoon, Spyells! I remember you ~ good to see you back!

Thanks! And I'm happy to be back. I'm so excited for the holiday season. Fall is my favorite time of year just because all of the major holidays are in it. You should have seen my excitement when I saw that the Magic Kingdom at Disney World and Disneyland in Cali were already decorated for Halloween. umpkin:

So exciting to see new names popping up here, welcome to all of you!
Also great to see some of our missing members coming back again.
All are more signs that Christmas will soon be here!

Lovely day here, temp is supposed to go up to 26c.

This cold is really starting to bug me! Trying to find someone to take my shift this evening so I can just concentrate on getting rid of it.

My daughter starts ground school tonight. She is so excited, finally fulfilling her dream of learning to fly.

I hope you feel better soon Star!!!!!

We have been there a few times, thanks!

At the back right corner of seasonal behind the Halloween stuff. That's where I found that!

 

[Christmasstar]

my boss just texted me, she is taking my shift because there is no one else to do it. Good for her to close once in awhile (she usually does only days)

 

[iliam]

Great to be back, and great to see all of you again!

My best friend is there now and he videocalled me yesterday from within Magic Kingdom in Florida to show me the decorations. I was so envious.


(oops kicking off the dust, have to remember the basics of posting)

Good evening, MMC!

I am multi-tasking at the moment ~ eating dinner and catching up on the boards

It has been a long day today ~ I got a lot done, including picking a basket full of Concord grapes so I can make grape filling tomorrow. There were so many I couldn't reach, but I'm sure the birds will be happy to have those. The chipmunks are getting all the nuts this year ~ I think there were less than 20 on all the trees together. Last year, there were hundreds ~ I still have many bags of unopened ones. It is fun to watch the chipmunks "sneak" around the treetops, "stealing" the nuts ~ they are way too cute!

Tomorrow is Pinesday already ~ this week is flying by!

MERRY dreams!

I love chipmunks! I can just picture them stealing the nuts & stashing them in their cheeks. So cute!!

((Hugs)) to you, Bo, Mouse, and Palmer!! Outside furkids, too. xo

Hey everyone!

I deeply apologize for disappearing on you. It was not something I planned. My mother had a stroke and I have had some heart problems. Everything is getting better now so I am able to resume somewhat of a normal life. I have missed you all! I hope everyone is well! I am so excited about the start of fall and all the wonderful holidays. This is the start of my favorite 4 months of the year! I look forward to celebrating them all with you.

I will talk to you soon.

Hello sugarplum fairy! Nice to see you. I'm sorry to hear about you & your Mom's health problems. Glad to hear all is better now. Looking forward to sharing the best four months of the year here with you =]

Good evening,

I am sleepy tonight, the two boys just zap all energy out of us some nights. The "Christmasville" book I picked up today looks good, I thumbed my way through it and I come across a page and it was autographed by the author, personalized for a woman named Emily. I can't believe someone gave that away.
Here is a little write up about the book:

Publisher Comments:
Near the crossroads of magic and miracle, Christmasville offers a vision steeped in what, arguably, is the most celebrated of western traditions. But something is askew. Through a series of perilous journeys, across a landscape shaped by "a different set of rules," Christmasville reveals the experiences and discoveries of Mary Jane Higgins as she unravels the dynamics of her unusual universe--one that operates according to three, notably different, phenomena--time, space, and memory.
Synopsis:
Visit the town where Christmas is a constant and the calendar only contains two months. Join Mary Jane as she struggles to unwrap the mysteries that waft through the perpetually snow-filled air. She seems to be the only one to notice the changes that take place each January 31st, the only one who wonders about spring and summer and fall.
Synopsis:
Christmasville is a town situated on a 4 x 8 foot model train platform in which only one month exists and Christmas is in perpetual motion. Each year, buildings and homes in this cozy town are rearranged but the town is continually decorated in yuletide trimmings. But what of autumn, summer, spring? 14-year old Mary Jane Higgins sets out and determines to resolve the enigma of Christmasville.

Good night everyone!!

What an interesting Christmas book, xmas! Let us know how you like it.

GOOD MORNING Y'ALL! hope this morning finds everyone safe, well, & happy.
my car is fixed. all it was-was the battery. thank the Lord!

headed back to work today for 1/2 day, kind'a looking forward to getting out a while.

has anyone heard from jennifer about her uncle & his dog? i haven't been able to keep up lately.
the kids are planning a trip to "scarowinds" this friday evening. Carowinds is a big amusement park not far from here & @ halloween they turn it into "scarowinds" w/ some really wild stuff. i just hope daughter can handle it. the boys will watch her but sometimes they enjoy scaring her themselves.

happy birthday to cm3! i hope you have a wonderful day sweety!

Hey merry! So glad it was just the battery w/ your car. Phew!
I haven't heard from Jennifer, still praying for her uncle & his dog.

Here ya go! What I saw at walmart! Off to work I go. Have a great day all

Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Cue the music..."Christmastime is here!!" Thanks for posting these, Undrtakr!

Good Pinesday morning everyone!

On my way into the Pines, I was just showing Carl my Walmart Christmas light pictures. He then said he had a "Clark Griswold" of an idea. He is going to try and outdo Clarks "25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights". Well they better give extra power to the Pines this year!

Had a good evening. William went right to bed. It was almost too quiet. We went upstairs to bed and guess what. We found him sleeping in our bed! haha. Little stinker! Oh well. Our bed IS comfortable! I cant believe I found Christmas stuff in Walmart! Back seasonal items are some inflatable items and Christmas lights. I was the only one looking at the Christmas stuff but I didn't care. Made me very very happy! When I go back sometime this week I will take more pictures to share in the Christmas joy! Not much else new. Dad is feeling better and that's good. My 93 year old Grandmother is still going strong and still living in her own house! Well better get back to work. Hope to see you all at the Pines! Carl is giving away gingerbread houses with a little Carl inside the window! Yum Yum!

William is just too cute!
Glad your Dad is doing better, and your Grandmother is doing so well =)
Hope you have a great day, friend!!

Lovely day here, temp is supposed to go up to 26c.

This cold is really starting to bug me! Trying to find someone to take my shift this evening so I can just concentrate on getting rid of it.

My daughter starts ground school tonight. She is so excited, finally fulfilling her dream of learning to fly.

Hope you're feeling better soon, CS! It's good your boss is taking your shift, you need some rest. Take good care of yourself. xo

That is so cool @ your daughter starting ground school tonight. Good luck to her!
