Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmas365]

Good morning all my friends!

Not feeling very well today. Hopefully its just a bug that will go away. Eating some chicken noodle soup right now. On my way to work I will pick up some meds to get me through the work day. Other then that everything is good here. Saw another Christmas movie that I haven't seen before called Chasing Christmas. Very good! I can't believe its almost here? Wasn't it just September? As soon as September hits, the time flys by. Busy busy weekends all through the end of the year. This weekend resting. Weekend after, Dads for Christmas. Weekend after that, Moms for Christmas. Whew! Don't forget the family drama! Wouldn't be Christmas without it! hah! We had our Christmas dinner last night at work. It was good. Stuffing, turkey, potatoes, gravy and more! I was stuffed after dinner! There was door prizes and I won a 50 dollar walmart card. Helps out at this time of year. Well. Back to resting and soup! Take it easy and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

I hope you are feeling better.

Good Morning MMC!!!!! The warm up continues today with a high in the mid 50's predictied for today. I have to babysit today and tonight and then tomorrow I think I'm taking my niece's shopping for their mom and dad. I was going to do some cleaning but with my niece's cleaning it's not really worth it. So instead I'm going to make some blueberry muffins or maybe a coffee cake. I haven't quite decided yet. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it was blueberry muffins, I love them. cheesy

I heard of the tragedy while I was at work today, why hurt children? Why? Of course why hurt anyone, but the innocent kids, I don't know why anyone would do that. I cannot comprehend what has happened. My wife, being a teacher, has had a tough time dealing with this, lots of tears shed. I just wanted to come home and hug my boys. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Newton, CT.

Good evening,

7 more shifts until vacation, I am exhausted from all I had to do today, resting my back now, I had to break apart and put away 8 pallets of merchandise.

Sugar cookie report: Strictly a rookie effort. But I was able to roll them, cut them, and bake them, which is more than I was able to do in the past. The shapes puffed out a wee bit more than I remember them doing back home, but I think that's a matter of rolling them a little flatter. I may try the dowel trick next year. Considering that I was working from a recipe that didn't give the amount of flour ("enough flour to make a soft dough") or the length of time to bake them, I did all right.

If Mr. doesn't eat sugar cookies, I'm going to have to freeze some of these.

You have to call by 12-15-2012: 1-877-638-9627 Wait until the complete messages ends and you hear the beep. Then talk your head off!!!

Hello everyone. I have really missed being on the forums and reading everyone's posts, but things have been very busy. How many of you are participating in the Christmas party on Sunday? Does anyone have any more details? I read that there would be a radio show with call ins...anyone know where I could find that?

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas season. I'm happy it's so close, but a little sad it will be over soon. Oh well, let's enjoy it while we can. Happy Friday!

Just got my computer back! Yay!!! MGRamsey, I forgot to mention your dad. Pneumonia is horrible. I used to get it often, before the pneumonia shots. Now I get the shot every five years (I think). I am sure you are loving and appreciating them so much!

 

[Seawaters]

Because of computer problems and not having the TV on, I just heard about the Conn. shooting. How senseless. Such a scary world where we teachers and parents have to be protectors from those over which we have no control. What in the world could have made that man do what he did?

I hope it was blueberry muffins, I love them. cheesy

I actually didn't end up making anything. I got caught up watching the news. I'll make muffins in the morning just for you though.

My prayers go out to all of the families who lost someone today at Sandy Hook. They also go out to the families of the 22 kids and one staff member stabbed at a school in China today.

I don't know what could cause a person to hurt innocent Children in that way but I'll be hugging my niece's a little tighter tonight.

Good evening, Christmas family

I am not dealing very well with what happend to all those sweet little babies and also the teachers today so I am going to just say a quick good evening. I do not have children, at least not the human kind, but I hope everyone here who does have kids, please give them an extra hug from me and my furkids. I just cant seem to stop crying. And I just keep coming back to the same question" Why ??

I hope all here have a great night. I am not even going to watch any Christmas things tonight. I just cant. I know this sounds crazy, but I would almost feel guilty with so many families in such sorrow.

Good night Christmas family. ((((HUGS)))) to all xo

Feeling much the same...can't hardly look at the news, it nauseates me.

Okay, I'll give it a shot.

The family gets their car fixed and leaves. The pagent goes on and it's terrible. The family stops at a gas station and something just doesn't feel right. They miss everyone at the town. So they go back. Everyone is starting to leave the pagent but then the girl goes on with the rock band and they are great. So everyone stays. one of the ladies that is supposed to dance has a knee problem. So the mom is convinced to step in and dance with them. Then the mayor is finally convinced to come up on stage and he starts singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and all of the performers come out and join him. Then the father reveals that he is a banker and he is going to loan the town the money to build the ski lift. The mayor doesn't believe him and questions wether or not he can make that kind of loan without the approval of the bank president. The father says that it's true that the loan would need to the approval of the bank president but since he is the president, he thinks it will be approved. Then the young boy comes in with the toy shop owner dressed as Santa. While everyone else was at the pagent the boy had finally convinced him. To show his apprecation to the boy, the toy shop owner gives him the train engine. The end.

thank you so much! Now I am going to look for a copy and watch it from beginning to end. I love the ending, I did not know he was a bank president because I also missed the beginning of the movie. LOL, nothing like watching half a movie you have never seen before!

God help the families involved in the Connecticut shootings

I heard it on the radio coming home from work, it is hard to drive while crying.
My heart goes out to all the families who are dealing with this tragedy.

but I'll be hugging my niece's a little tighter tonight.

Then I'll drag them down the hall kicking and screaming because they don't want to go to bed even though it's already an hour past their bedtime.

Now where did I put that eggnog?
