Christmas Countdown - 2013

You could start a Christmas Journal and keep track of a lot of things. Go to the sister site or ask Mel (???).

Just quickly looking at my trees, I already see lights and garland that needs to be replaced for next year. My chaser lights only every third light is working, quite a few C7 bulbs have burnt out. (I already bought 2 boxes of those.) Some of my bubble lights have burnt out, I always worry about finding those though. I need to write this stuff down in my notebook, and keep my eyes open online for things. The pain and joys of Christmas decorating. cheesy

I love it when people share their talents and when it is something close to my heart. You are lucky to have a brother like that.

Just nine council meetings--that sounds so close!!!

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

I worked most of the morning with the crew taking down the city's Christmas decorations from the power company poles. It was a bit sad, but we were discussing when to get started on repairs for next year, and when to start working on putting up the (soon to be ordered) Fall banners. It gave me a little cheer to think that fall decorating has to start in just 9 council meetings!

The rest of the day, I worked at my brother's shop on the Camaro he's rebuilding for me. We put it on the rack and sprayed the underside with rubberized undercoating, then did some more disassembing. I have to say, I didn't know a car could come apart in so many pieces. I'm taking the front frame section (known as the front clip) to my brother-in-law for sandblasting this afternoon.

I'm learning a lot!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

When we share in deadlines like this, it makes the Season seem closer and closer. I even love the fall dates and activities since that is one of my favorite times of the year. Things like this help keep PCB at bay. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for the reminder, Made. It is fun to go back and look at where we were last year at this time. We ended up with 1106 posts by January 6, 2012. I love reading those old posts. What memories!

Would you believe that we are barely keeping up with last years pace? We got off to a fast start last year.

I went through and quickly read through all the posts I missed. I say quickly but it actually took me a couple of hours!

Excited about this starting our own town idea. Great mascot and street names. I can open up a cake decorating shop!

How about planting only pine and spruce trees, every type available so that they can all be decorated and everyone different. Houses have to look like they are made of gingerbread.
