What's your favorite Christmas tea? I've been keeping an eye out for the seasonal flavors at the supermarket, but no luck yet. I miss Stash Holiday Chai. I enjoyed it in 2011, then couldn't find it at all last year.

I found this for you MC, I don't know if it is the right one.

Five years ago today, I met someone very special.

All of you.

Thank you for five years of fun, hugs, and Christmas year-round! I'm looking forward to the next fifty or so!

Happy MMC Anniversary to you!!!

It wouldn't be the same without you fellow Bay Stater!!!
 
It was a plan all along! :D

I am disappointed that I did not get a picture of Santa's whole outfit because he was wearing Christmas shorts with flip flops to complete the whole "Santa on a Caribbean Cruise" look.

It could have been worse, 4 words: "Santa in a Speedo." cheesy
 
I can't leave this couple out. They were onboard Halloween night as well. They were not with Santa but they met each other and of course Buddy the Elf had scream, "Santa"!!! It was way too cool to have a little Christmas on the ship!


.

I wanted to dress up as Buddy the Elf for Halloween, but I do not belong in yellow tights. cheesy
 
And more good news! Mr. reports that our new stovetop was FINALLY installed! It's a long story, but having it finally in feels like a major victory. After all we went through, I hope it cooks well! (That is, as well as it can considering the cooks.)
 
Good afternoon,

I feel like I have been away from here for too long. I was going through the posts on Monday night and I fell asleep with the computer on my lap. These muscle relaxers are really doing a number on me. Last night when I finally was able to get on MMC, I responded to one or two posts and then MMC wouldn't let me back in. I kept getting the "Sign up to be a Platinum Member screen." I am now out of work until at least Saturday, my back is doing better but still very, very sore. I can't bend over to pick things up but it is a bit better from where it doesn't feel like being squeezed by a vice.

I do have some very exciting news, we bought a new car yesterday!!!!! A 2014 Chevy Equinox, we weren't planning on it until the spring but the deal we couldn't pass up!!! We are also trading in the vehicle we weren't planning on trading, but to go to an All wheel drive vehicle from a minivan that is not much better than a sled in the snow I think we made the right choice. The best thing is our monthly payment will be less than what we are paying on the van. We should be picking it up Monday or Tuesday. We cannot wait!!!

Another great deal I found yesterday at Goodwill, I found another Jim Shore Santa decoration at GW for $4!!!!! I bought it and checked it out online, it sells at retail for $58!!!!!
Here is what it looks like:

I hope you all are having a great day!!!!
 
I think they think I am nuts at the Goodwill store, they always recognize me because I am always in the store once a week looking at the Christmas section. I have told them I collect Christmas stuff, and I get occasional comments. To each his own, right?

I love Christmas, and I love collecting it. I have found many treasures that I will cherish that others no longer want.
Sorry, it has been annoying me when I get comments from people there, customers and employees. I just had to get that off my chest.

You'll just have to become psycho Christmas guy at Goodwill stores. cheesy


LOL!!!! Most of the stuff at my goodwill stores is marked higher than it is priced at retail. Their employees really need to go walk around a walmart store.

Wow, that is strange, paying higher prices for used stuff than new.
The stores around here are pretty straight forward on pricing. The books, CD's and DVD's are a buck or 2, The most expensive Christmas items I have seen have probably been about $12.

One of my "secret" Christmas shopping places is shopgoodwill.com it is just like Ebay, sometimes you can get some great deals.
