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....

Amen to that!!! My wife and I were talking about pre-lit and doing it ourselves. We do it ourselves and we use C7's, minis white and multi, bubble lights and chasers. It's a busy tree but we love it.

I admire you for putting the lights on yourself !! I am a little lazy when it comes to that and since I am the only one who decorates the tree and since I am so short, it turns into quite a problem to put lights on since the tree is usually a lot taller than me !! xo

ok, what do you think, which is the real brussel sprout and which is made of sugar...

Wow! Beautiful, it looks so real.

Good evening, Christmas family

Getting ready to turn in. It was a LOOONG Monday. Nothing much going on here....all are asleep. I am going to snuggle up to my Hermione this evening as Wish and Clancy have the couch and hopefully off to sleep I will go until the morning.....

Christmasstar - I can't wait to find out which brussels sprout was the real one !! It really has me quite baffled !! I wish I lived closer to you because then perhaps I could commission you to bake a polar bear themed cake for me !!!! I know it would be beautiful and amazing because all of your cakes are !!!

Take care, Christmas family. Big ((((HUGS)))) to all but ESPECIALLY to:
Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Mickey, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly, Fate Puppy (London,) Buster, Missy and all furkids everywhere xoxoo

I hope everyone has beautiful Christmassy dreams !! xo

Good evening,

Finishing up late here tonight, I tried getting caught up earlier but we had company, so I had to wait. Busy day today, I got out late from work. Day off tomorrow, not much planned.

Have a great night everyone!!

You are absolutely BRILLIANT, Star !!!! xoxo And so talented !!! xo

I agree!! Wow, you are amazing Star! Very talented!!!! :-D

 

[Solice]

Thinking of you, too, Solice. I hope you have a fun time at gymnastics!

Thank you so much!

For some reason, I am tired tonight. So good night, everyone! The new recipe was pretty darn good!

I hope you get a good night sleep my friend! ♥

 

[Solice]

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!

:dance: Enjoy! =]

 

[Solice]

How are you feeling Solice?

Im feeling so much better, thank you! Hope it's for real this time!
Im so tired of feeling sick.

Enjoy your day off Xmas! =]

 

[Solice]

(((Solice))) it is always so nice to see you. I am sure you and Isak will enjoy the group !!! xo

You are so kind! ♥ Thank you! =]
Hope you got a good night sleep!
How is your foot? Thinking of you!

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

I have to say I agree with you on this one CM3 :-D

 

[Solice]

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?

:-D
I hope I will be here at home with my family.
Thomas is talking about inviting his parents (my in-laws)
But that got me nervous. It's like inviting Martha Stewart for the most important dinner of the year!
Who does that? ;]

 

[Solice]

this sounds so cool for you & Isak. i hope there's lots of nice friendly peeps for you guys to meet! have fun.

Thank you Merrymisteltoe! =]

A bit strange that you local K-Mart is closing on December 22!!?
But maybe they have a big sale before that? We can hope? :grin:

 

[Solice]

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.

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

Thank you Snowflake!
Have your sister arrived? Any planes?
Thinking about you! =]

Good evening! I don't like that I didn't get to log on alll day! Just wanted to say that we had 35º & FROST this morning!! Frost on the grass, frost on the cars, frost on the rooftops! It was so pretty!! It wasn't a killing frost, so my tomatoes are fine! (thankfully!) I haven't eaten enough fresh salsa yet this year! After our walk this morning I turned on the fireplace & crawled under a blanket! Felt awesome! On my way to work...looking at all the frosty houses...I turned Kenny G Christmas on in the car! Oh what a day!

At the grocery store tonight I picked up a copy of Paula Dean Christmas! Can't wait to read it!!! :grin:

Hope you all had a great day! I want to catch up on posts but need to get working on the afghan for my SIL!!!

Have a great night!

You make me smile!
Frost is here too! 0c this morning. That's 32F.
I guess it won't be long before the first snow is here!!

 

[merrymistletoe]

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!

wow, can't imagine that right now, not here. sounds so nice.

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.

[merrymistletoe]

good a.m. y'all! it's so nice out this morning, 53 degrees. unfortunately the temps will begin to rise now & we will be back in the upper 80's for highs the rest of the week. i guess we always want the weather we don't have.

feeling very sleepy this morning. when hubby woke me this morning i was in the middle of a dream, nothing special. i really can't even remember it but i think that's usual.

y'all have a good day!:grin:
