Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump & Pines Day!!! :busy:



Well, I found out last night we are definitely hosting Thanksgiving lunch for my in-laws! I'm excited & also at the same time, a have a little "ugh" feeling about it...but it will be fine. I am all about the whole tradition of Thanksgiving - turkey, yummy pumpkin things...always too much food. BUT I think this year we are going to do it different & we are going to have turkey ribs. They are really delicious, easy & since we also have supper with my family, I want to keep lunch a little lighter. Last year we were so miserable after lunch with the in-laws, we didn't even eat at my families get together....and we had SO MUCH leftover food! Anyway.... we have lots to get done between now & then. EEK! I also told my hubby we need to talk to my SIL to see if we can switch off Easter & Thanksgiving. One year I host Easter & she hosts Thanksgiving & we switch the next year. One of these years I would like to have my family over for Thanksgiving again ~ and that would be a lot to have both families on the same day...which is how it always works out. Ok - enough babbling! Lol



:family:



I have a quiet office again today ~ the funeral mass should be just starting for my bosses Mom. Such a sweet lady!



I have Christmas on TV....



Have a great day MMC!

Have a fun time planning!
Your menu sounds delicious! And it will be awesome to have family around you on your beautiful new kitchen =]

Enjoy your Christmasy day [emoji319]

Wednesday hello!
And best Wednesday wishes to everyone!

I'm full into listening to Christmas music now, and looking forward to the MMC official beginning of the season. The following weekend I usually go to a local garden center, which is huge and full of Christmas trees, ornaments, villages, decorations, and other Christmas goodies! (I've seen a banner ad for them on MMC occasionally.) This year will be more looking than buying, but I don't care. It's a fine way to kick off the season.

Hope you have a good day, MerryCarey!!!!

Good morning and Happy Pines Day!
I am off today but I have to get moving. I have chores to do and a bunch of errands to run, including a trip to the supermarket. I'm still not feeling 100% so I'm hoping to find some time to relax later this afternoon, we'll see. Oh and I also have to start working on my Thanksgiving menu and grocery list. I feel like I'm so behind on things this year, especially my Christmas shopping. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hope you get feeling better soon, HMG!!!!!! Good luck getting everything done today!!!!!

Thanks, buddy! Appreciate it [emoji173]️

Whatever Carl is having sounds appropriate! (Dangerous, I know!)

(((Hugs)))

I called and told him you said that and he just started laughing. Then he told me to make sure I get your keys from you before you start drinking!!!! LOL!!!!

Enjoy the nice weather day today! I hope things go very well for your Mom today!!! Have a great day!

Thanks, Holiday!!!!!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a little warmer around here today, but it's supposed to frost again this weekend. I like it!

Not much to report today. I've been a bit swamped here at work, so I'm going to get back at it.

I hope I don't mess up the count tomorrow! Crown has some BIG shoes to fill...uh, figuratively speaking, I mean. I don't know anything about those massive feet. Carl hasn't been telling any jokes about Crown skiing without skis.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

LOL!!!

Hope work dies down soon!! We all know you will do a great job tomorrow!!!!

Have a great day, Brad!!!!

With just the 4 of us for Thanksgiving this year, I'm looking into cooking a smaller meal too. We love the turkey tenderloins from honeysuckle white so I thought about just making one of them and then some sides. We will see what the rest of the family thinks though.

Praying for your boss's.

Hope you have a great day, Holiday!!!!!

I don't think I have ever had those turkey tenderloins ~ maybe that's something I could look into too - just incase someone doesn't like the turkey ribs. (not sure how someone can't like them, but Jims family IS very picky!) :lol: I think that sounds like a great plan for the 4 of you! xx

Thanks made! You have a great day too!

Evening all!

It is Bonfire Night here (Guy Fawkes) and I can already hear some fireworks. It is very cold and getting colder! It is meant to drop below freezing. laying:
Hope you are all having a great evening. I think Carl is meant to be doing fireworks at the Pines tonight for us in England lol ....

MADE - I hope it all goes well with your mum. Praying everything goes in her favour.

Holiday - Your thanksgiving plans sound great! Room for one more??

Thanks made! You have a great day too!

I'm the picky one in my family as far as meat goes. So if I like them, I'm sure they would. I make them every year during CIJ for my mini Christmas dinner.

Good, sounds like it went well. And yes, a good sign that her former company didn't participate.
Praying hard for you guys!
