Hello everyone. It's been almost a week since I've been by the forums...I've had an awful stomach bug and don't think I've ever been this sick! Hope everyone is doing good and have a great Thursday!

I hope you are feeling better.

Good morning everyone!

Thursday. One more day until the weekend. I am suppose to volunteer at the outdoor rink on Friday night for the first time this year. The only problem is that the forecast is calling for freezing rain. Plus, temperatures are to be raining and above freezing this weekend. I don't think it will be safe to open the rink. It will be too warm to flood following a potential skate or "shinny" game. We'll see how it goes!

As for today, there's just some work. I also have Active Release Therapy at 3:15. I'm excited for it. I had a bit of a setback last Friday. Now I know another activity that I cannot do. Live and learn.

Have a great Thursday, everyone. We're now in double digits of the first month of the year. Soon, we'll be only 300 days to the Christmas Season. So much is ahead of us.

Sorry to hear about the setback, I hope the therapy is helping.

temps here are going way up too, actually getting double digits by the weekend. There will be not ice or snow here.

They are calling for temps possibly in the 60's this weekend.

There goes my snow. :-?

I found you some shoes to camouflage those toes...

My dad had toes that were joined together and he was always showing them off to the kids, we all thought they were great looking.
So never think of them a freaky, just unique and special!

I have tried on shoes like that before, they are very comfortable.

Why is the camouflage on the bottom?

I totally agree with you! I think that the little things should make anyone happy. So many people take for granted the little things in life - such as enjoying Christmas mugs or candles or movies. Why not enjoy the things that make you happy when you want to? That's why I don't like when people judge us Christmas lovers for being excited when the stores start putting things out in August, or when we listen to Christmas carols when we want, orrrrrr if we want to keep our trees up a little bit longer. It's what makes us happy!

I hope you have a great day, Seawaters!

I try to explain that to my bro-in-law, he always picks on me for loving Christmas. He is the type that "cannot" listen to Christmas music before Black Friday, he laughs at my Christmas t-shirts, and the fact that I keep my decorations up longer and come to this site.. It is what makes me happy, he is a big Patriots fan, following everything about them, the draft, the rumors, the losses in the Super Bowl, and he belongs to online game forums but I don't pick on him It is what makes him happy and I respect him.

Let your Christmas freak flag fly!

Wifi got fixed right in time then, glad you are loving it.

Good afternoon,

I have taken down 2 of our trees, the 7.5 foot:

and the 3 foot tree that goes in the bay window. We still have our living room tree up, at least for a few more days. I also put most of the decorations away and unplugged the outdoor lights.
That and laundry is what I have been doing so far today, nothing special, I do realize I need to get another tote, we have seemed tohave inherited or bought more stuff this year.

Awesome! Enjoy it!

Well, if the films are silent, you can tell us all about the people as we watch!

They are silent! =)

Trust me, I LOVE to do stuff like that! It would be so cool to watch your mom. I always tell my students that if I could have one wish, I would wish I could go back in time with a video recorder and record my mothers life, sort of like Peggy Sue Got Married. If you narrate for us, that would be extra special. Could you upload to youtube?

You know MMC is family when they are enjoying my mom's memory with me!

I am just trying to figure out how to preserve these videos right now. They are on VHS and I have this fear of the tape breaking down or the VCR eating them up. I was just discussing this with MerryCarey. I need to figure out how to get them on DVD and on an external hard drive. From there I can get some of it uploaded onto youtube. There is a way to do this, I just don't know how yet.

I guess I am very lucky that all my friends and family seem to enjoy my love for Christmas and sometimes feed on it. My dad will just randomly buy me Christmas related items that he sees at thrift stores when he sees them in the middle of the summer! My daughter makes sure to tell me anything Christmas related that might happen in "off season". A few others do these things as well. It's nice!

Who knows? Maybe someone is whispering behind my back. :cry: But I say, "Who cares"! :lol:

People around us should not bother us with our love for Christmas. =)
