I thought this was kind of a cool guide if anyone is interested - "How Much Food Should You Make" (for parties) - from Food Network. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but for what it's worth...

Great find! Thanks for posting, Holiday!

I hardly believe what I heard---my supervisor says we're going to have a Christmas tree here at the office! I guess she asked about it and permission was given. Considering the creative types here it will probably turn into something unconventional, but I think it's great that we'll be having one at all. (The only tree since I've been here has been my tabletop tree made from wire hangers, tinsel, and a string of lights---and several people here look forward to seeing it each year.) I don't know when it's going up, but I hope to have a hand in it.

That is awesome!!

I'm watching Comfort & Joy, too!!

It's nice to have Christmas movies on in the background while I get some things done around the house!!

Good afternoon, everyone! How are you doing today? I am well. Just sitting here, relaxing with all of you and watching some Christmas movies.

What is everyone's plans for the day? I am going to watch some Christmas movies while doing some cleaning and I am also going to make a chicken potpie for dinner. I have to work tonight yet, going in at 10. I will get home earlier then at 7, which is nice.

I hope you all are having a great day! Enjoy the rest of your day everyone! God Bless and keep smiling!

Good morning - almost afternoon MMC! Happy Friday Eve! WOW it took me awhile to get caught up today! Lots of things to talk about!! :smile:

It's a sunny & WINDY/CHILLY day here! We got our walk in this morning but I was frigid til I got home!!! Time to permanently break out the cuddle duds!! I wasn't dressed warm enough for that wind!! Brrr! We changed our usual route & went back into our subdivision to hopefully block the wind, but it was too late - I was already cold! Lol! :cold:

Other than that - not much going on! I might try to work some more on my afghan at lunch! Tonight I have an "Origami Owl" party at a friends house. A lot of our friends will be there, so it should be fun! I mentioned earlier that our HS V-ball team is playing in state semi's this afternoon, so I'll be sure to listen to that (if I can break away from the Hallmark Channel for that long) Ha ha! That's about it for my day/night - well, besides work of course!

Hope you are all having a great day!!! Tomorrow is FRIDAY AND the 1st Special Post. Go Made, Go!!! Looking fwd to it!!!

:merry:

Enjoy your party and good luck to the Volleyball team!!!!

Talk about pressure!!!

I know regular Lifetime does, they have movies on in the evenings and on the weekends, just like Hallmark. As far as Lifetime Movie Network, as far as today, it is on all day. I just think it depends on the day. I think it is kind of like Hallmark Movie Channel.

Congrats on the new car. Sounds like a deal you couldn't pass up! The santa is such a bargain to!!

Thank you, it is our first brand new car purchase in 11 years, which is the car we will be keeping. We are trading in the one we bought used 7 years ago. We are sooo excited. Our salesman called earlier, they are searching for the color and the bells and whistles we want, (we usually go for the minimum in extras, we live by the rule the more toys, the more there is to break) we want in a 150 mile radius.

My wife is starting to get worried that my Christmas decorations, including my prized Santas, are going to take over the house...hmmmmmmm bigger house!!!!

Wait until I tell her I want the 5 foot tall Santa that is going to be on sale on Black Friday for $49.99, that's $80 off the original price. The black Friday sites are already showing scans of the ads.
