Christmas Countdown - 2012

[lauriebear]

Wonderful post, Crown. I really don't belong to any other forum (anymore) because nothing can compete with the people and environment that is provided on MMC. It is absolutely - I use this word a lot but I believe it perfectly describes the Christmas Season - magical.

Of course, it cannot be done without you leading the way, too. Your daily updates are filled with positivity and help keep MMC such a welcoming and warm place.

Me too Brent this is the only online forum I post in / blog in / etc. This place and Crown's countdown and when you fill in - I just get a sense of that magic everytime I am here

Good Tuesday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

We finally got some good news on all of my medical bills. The last two bills that we've been waiting on finally arrived...and they're not too bad at all! Yippee! More Christmas $$$!
:???:
I still can't figure out why I have to pay for two ambulance rides. The first ambulance broke down mid-trip, and I had to be transferred to another one halfway to Savannah. LOL! I will say that the first one didn't charge nearly as much as the second one. Ah well. I'm through with ambulances, anyway!

Elizabeth's stage debut in the Nutcracker ballet starts this Friday! I'm so proud of her!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I am glad you received good news though that is awesome!!!! YAY!!! For Elizabeth I bet she is the best on stage!!!

Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Spugs! (click the link for more info)

The Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving believed that Christmas presents should not be useless trinkets that are given indiscriminately because of custom or to curry favor, but should be gifts given sincerely to provide pleasure to those we truly care about. They even had their own trademarked logo in the form of a lapel pin:

The movement only lasted for a few years---it seemed to die out when the U.S. got involved in the First World War---and was never revived. But I'm fascinated by the story of their founding and their practical, yet loving, philosophy of Christmas gift-giving that is just as relevant today as it was when the group was formed 100 years ago. Join me in saluting the Spugs!

I love how you always find these awesome pieces of History, I remember talking with you last year on this... I love the history here.

Good afternoon, MMC family! Hope you're all well! I can't believe how many posts there are to read from yesterday/last night. I can't wait to read them though. That is what I am going to do now!

I am so excited for tonight! :???:We are having a chicken that is the crockpot as we speak, mashed potatoes, noodles, filling, and veggies. For dessert, we will be having the leftover pumpkin pie I made the othernight. I think the best part will be when the kids open their Elf on the Shelf. I am sure there will be some fighting at first, until I explain it to EA and sit him up. I think I told you guys before, I got each of them a stuffed version, that I will be giving them on St. Nicholas Day and I will be putting that in their shoes, that way they each have one then.



Hope you're all having a great day and a great start to your season! I am enjoying every minute of it! Having you my family and you guys here is making it so extra special! :

I love how you create such a wonderful Christmas for your family. You make it so special for them. Let us know what they name it!!!

Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to The Season! Counting down last night was lots of fun, and it was great to see all the memories people had of previous year's count downs. Being the night owl that I am, I stayed up to watch "A Christmas Carol" afterwards, and had pumpkin pie and coffee. I was a little sleepy this morning, but that's normal for me anyway.

I hope everyone has a lovely and peaceful Christmas Season!

It was a lot of fun !!! So glad you were there !!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Season too !! xo

Good evening,

I have spent the whole day involved in Christmas stuff, listening to hours of Christmas music, wearing my new Christmas Vacation t-shirt:

I saw it and had to have it to add to my ridiculous Christmas t-shirt collection. http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/album.php?albumid=521

I have all my inside lights up, and I finally found a set of c7 ceramic multi colored lights at the 7th different store I went to. I found them at Lowe's, I went to Home Depot and asked if they had c7 ceramic multi colored lights and the person looked at me like I had 4 heads! Ceramic? All our lights our out. was her only response. Oh the ignorance when it comes to Christmas lights and decorations, I really need to open a store to and teach people the difference between c7, c9, minis, warm LED, cool LED, there is a NEED for it!!! cheesy I also fixed my Santa stuck in the chimney, LC is ecstatic!!!

Enjoy your evening!!!

Now if I could get a shirt to match my signature I would be thrilled. My wife on the other hand wouldn't want to be seen with me. cheesy

I would have to agree with her on this one. I can handle Arthur, but those false teeth!!!
