Christmas Countdown - 2013

[made582]

well, my front door is ready for Christmas! I just painted it bright red!!
I always wanted to do that, found a can of red paint and went straight upstairs and painted the door. I will post a picture after it is dry and the tape has been removed

Can't wait to see the pics!!!

With all the talk of Black Friday, we do go out every year to the malls and select stores BUT we absolutely DO NOT stand in some line starting at 5:00 am to be the first in for some type of discount.

5am? The sales will all be over by then!!!

Define resting?

I would guess like me it means, when ever you get a chance to sit down it is considered resting

With all the talk of Black Friday, we do go out every year to the malls and select stores BUT we absolutely DO NOT stand in some line starting at 5:00 am to be the first in for some type of discount. We get up mid morning and leisurely go to the mall for all the Christmas entertainment they have. We go see the ice skating show in the middle of the mall starring Santa which follows with the tree lighting ceremony, watch the Christmas carolers, musicians and other things going on. We have a nice lunch and just walk around soaking up the atmosphere. It's a little crowded but has never been out of control with any kind of stampede, THANKFULLY! I have seen those crazy antics on TV like Binger mentioned and decided that is not for me! The crowd we end up with are people like us just enjoying the Christmas sights and sounds. It's a wonderful day and I have Wayne aka Snow-in-Texas to thank for that. I would not go out on Black Friday before I met him thinking it was just full of lunatics but he said the time he goes and where he goes it's not like that. He was right!

Last year we went to a historic downtown in Fredericksburg, Texas and it was amazing with really nice calm people just strolling the streets looking at merchandise in the local shops and the decorations. I guess it all depends on where you go on that day and making sure they are not having some type of thing where you have to line up early for stuff. I cannot wait for Black Friday to get here!

I am not criticizing anyone who enjoys the middle of the night standing in line sales. It's just not for me! cheesy

Perfect way to do it!!

Lucky you to still be able to get fresh tomatoes. I envy you! It sounds like you had a productive day!

Good morning MMC! Our day started out with a beautiful sunrise & within minutes the sun was gone & we haven't seen it since. It's really foggy now! Crazy weather. We are supposed to hit 72 today but unless the sun comes out, I have my doubts. This is the last day predicted to hit 70's in the 10 day forcast. I have a feeling our furnace will be getting more use by the end of the week!

I went to the garden after work last night & picked some HUGE tomatoes! We aren't getting a whole lot of maters anymore, but some of them were just huge! More fesh salsa coming up! :grin: Then I mowed the lawn! Then I changed up the seasons & I finally got my Fall & Halloween decs up in the house! I turned on Christmas music & decorated it up!
umpkin:
After that, I watched Halloweentown on Disney while working on my Christmas afghan. I had never seen that before. It's cute!

Not much going on today. My boss' were in a tizzy by the time I walked in the door this morning...GREAT...so it's been "one of them days" already! Ha ha!

Hope you are all having a great Tuesday!! I'm off to read more posts from last night!

 

[Seawaters]

Either way, Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, it's all good!

a cold front is coming and I am eager for the crisp, cool weather. I want to focus on Halloween but my thoughts keep drifting to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I just can't help it. Have a great day everyone.

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had to leave work early yesterday to take Elizabeth to dance. Nancy usually does this, but she's an accountant, and October 15 is some kind of deadline similar to April 15. I had to kill 2 hours in Statesboro by myself, so I walked through the Christmas section in Wal-Mart, but it was so hot in there I couldn't get into the spirit. Then I killed some time walking through a pawn shop. You can get some killer deals on tools there!

I got home just in time to put on a tie and watch Jacob get inducted into the National Honor Society. It was a nice ceremony. After that, we went to Nancy's parents' house for supper.

I hope to cut the grass today. It looks crazy!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Congratulations to Jacob!

I hope your youngest is better soon!

Good evening, MMC!

Long day running errands and hanging out with my cousin - good stress relief! The pages are jumping all around on here today so it is taking a bit longer to do things. I will answer PMs tomorrow when I have more time. Did not sleep much last night/this morning. Palmer woke me up at 2:30 am to show me her teddy bear. Why, I have no idea. It was rather important to her so I looked at it and then tried to go back to sleep. Early night tonight, most definitely!

MERRY dreams!!!

I forgot to mention that I found a tree to replace the one that needed a new base. It is semi-decorated and is currently on top of my dresser. Wasn't sure I was going to have a tree this year - all my trees are in the attic and I am still not going up there. So happy!!! :???:

It is getting colder so if your attic is not heated he will not be either and will hibernate in some corner. Or he just got bored because you never come up to see him anymore and left for someplace more fun!
