Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Christmasstar]

Guess what I did when I got home?

I turned on the furnace!!!! I do not think I have ever turned it on this early in the year before. It is so chilly, I could not get warm after being outside.
Nice and toasty in here now.

Making porgies for supper, smells good!

it is 8:30pm...and I am terribly tired...will go to bed now...rest my bones and read a little..holla my friends......

btw...I finally made it to 9000 posts...funny how it is only so "little"....since it only took me one year to post 5000....after that i fell into a christmas posting lumb

Congrats, track!! Sleep well. =]

Thank you very much; Happy Monday to you as well! The more I keep hearing about Hobby Lobby, the more excited I am about going there.

We need to find a 6.5' tree for our basement. My basement ceiling is around 7'-8" tall and with the additional height of the tree stand, it does not leave too much room for the angel to go at the top of the tree.

Now a days, it seems like alot of the trees come pre-lit and I'm not so sure I want a pre-lit tree. Yes, I realize that it saves time, but I really enjoy and like to put the lights up myself and besides, I usually put around 650-800 multi colored lights on the tree, to really make it shine. As far as what type of tree, I have a fondness for either the Fraser, Balsam and Noble Fir type of Christmas trees....

I like that, about stringing your own lights. I'm sure it looks that much more beautiful!! Happy tree hunting, friend!! Hope you find just what you're looking for! :smile:

Im off to bed..
Have a long long long day tomorrow.
The clock is 10:30 PM here now...

Isak (4 years old) is having a photoshoot in the Kindergarten
at 9 tomorrow morning.

And I have signed us up for ten weeks with gymnastics
starting tomorrow afternoon!!!
Me and Isak both... It's a group for parent and child...Haha..
I hope he like it!
And it's fun to do something together!
And maybe we get to know someone new?
I hardly know anybody here.. And we have lived here for some years now.

Well, goodnight my beautiful Christmas friends!
You are in my thoughts and prayers! ♥

That is awesome, Solice!! Hope you & Isak have a blast!
:sparkle:
Sweet dreams xo

Good evening, MMC. Still feeling lousy. Tonight is my last night of work, then I am off tomorrow. I have lots planned and probably won't get to bed until 11 or 12 tomorrow night, so I am sneaking in a quick nap before work. Talk to you all tomorrow.

What a genius idea!!!

Get 3 or 4 Chocolate Advent Calenders and change the dates on some of them and start eating a chocolate a day 91 days out, it would be one really long Advent countdown. cheesy

 

[Seawaters]

Excellent. Maybe our town could do the same! Of course, that would mean some travel time for him!

... i vote Bradmac our next mayor!!!!!!

I am trying out a new recipe for dinner since it is MNF (Monday Night Football). It is called Stovetop Italian Macaroni. The ingredients sound so yummy!

I wish we needed to turn up the heat here in northern California. No such luck! It has been so hot during the day, and very warm at night. Hurry, autumn!

Yes. You can download from the amazon app store or you can sideload non amazon apps.

Hey Made ! I have a Kindle Fire too, not the same one you have, just a regular non-HD Kindle Fire...What does it mean to "sideload" apps for the Fire ?? Thanks !!

 

[caninemom3]

Hello Everybody! Wow 91 days till Christmas and Autumn has officially started. Alot to clelebrate then!

Hi Festive Spirit !!! I just wanted to let you know you can use the "quote" button at the bottom of the page or you can use "Multi" to reply to a lot of people at a time !! If you use "Multi" all you do is read through the posts and if you find one you want to reply to, just hit "Multi" and go on until you find the next one...Then when you are ready to reply you can do them all at once !! I didn't have a clue about this until Christmas-A-Holic taught me how !! xoxo

Good chilly morning everyone!

Yes I was posting on the facebook page with QVC pictures. I'll post them here tonight when I get home. William and I put out the Halloween stuff Saturday afternoon! My neighbor has a pumpkin out too! We went to Costco yesterday and they have some Christmas stuff out. There were too many people to take pictures. They had Christmas cards, trees, wrapping paper, candies, Christmas tin boxes, Nativity scenes and yes, even chocolate Advent calendars. A little early for the chocolate Advent calendar but why not! Too bad I couldn't take pictures. It was very nice. I was clapping while my Wife was rolling her eyes saying "Yes yes we will get to that isle soon enough". hehe. Well better get back to work. Hope you all have a great day!

Sounds Wonderful, Undrtakr !!!! I would have been excited too !!!! xo

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a BEAUTIFUL morning here! It started out in the lower 50's (unheard-of around here in September) with a light breeze and the sun is shining. Wow. I have all my office windows open, and I'm thinking of firing up my Mulled Cider candle. I was trying to wait until October, but I don't know if I can.

I let Jacob drive my truck (and me) all over creation this weekend. He's never been really interested in driving the golf cart or 4-wheeler or anything like that before, but now I think we've created a driving monster. LOL

He and I worked on his hunting area yesterday, using the tractor to harrow are get ready for planting next week. I love driving my Dad's tractor. It feels like he's right there with me. Strange, I know, but he loved driving that tractor, and he loved that hunting plot.

I gotta get some things done. I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Brad I think you are a wonderful guy !! I have probably told you that before. You and Xmas and all the wonderful dads on here who take time to build good relationships with their kids and are not afraid to show them the love in your hearts. God Bless you xo I am sure Jacob and Elizabeth will grow up to be AMAZING young adults !! xo

[ballcoach]

Hey gang! We are watching Dancing with the Stars, one of our favorite shows. We love when this comes on because we always spend that time together. This will lead us up to the season.....yipee!

 

[ballcoach]

Three months from right now, we will be at my Mom's house, eating with the family, visiting, enjoying the memories being made...three months and an hour from now...the best thing to ever happen to me will be sitting by my side, in the bask of the Christmas tree and fire place....watching Polar Express and drinking coffee.....

Three months from tonight.....Christmas Eve....I can't wait!

What will you be doing three months from tonight?

 

[caninemom3]

Does it add 10 pounds like the movie cameras do? If so, then forgedaboutit!

Agree totally Seawaters !!!! xo
