CHRISTMAS!!!

Love it.
 
That's an easy question for me, I enjoy the Halloween special but the Christmas special is by far my favorite. Nothing compares to Linus quoting from Luke 2:8-14 explaining what Christmas is all about.
I was 6 when the Great Pumpkin first aired and 7 when Charlie Brown Christmas first aired. My wife laughs at me but I haven't missed a year watching them and Rudolph.
I never have either...I think most of us never have, never will :).
 
Merry Afternoon all,

I managed to pick up some Halloween candy today. I am not sure how long it will last as it is already calling to me. What's wrong with me! I don't usually eat sweets but it's always the same every halloween. It's like a candy spell has been cast upon me!

I am having a festive mince pie with a ginderbread tea before I go pick up the boys. I am not all that into them but I like to have one especially when they first come out for the season at the bakery.

Have a nice afternoon all.

Snickers? What kind of candy?
 
LOL, it is. But it scared the you know what out of me :eek:
I was sitting there, on the couch-in the living room, fireplace on, drinking coffee. When all of a sudden I hear a crash and the fireplace glass had fallen off, landed on the carpet, and it was HOT. So, I was afraid that it would start a fire, laying on the carpet. It was so hot that I had to run & get oven mitts to even lift it. I didn't know if being exposed directly to the gas was dangerous, so I had to wake them up so Adrian could help me get it back on. So, here we are struggling not to burn ourselves, I have coffee all over my work clothes, the floor, etc. It was frustrating & comical!
Har was anxious at first, then brought me her ball, wanting to play!

How scary!!! I would have freaked out & spilled my coffee everywhere too! YIKES! I'm glad everything was ok. It didn't leave burn marks in your carpet, did it?
I'm sure Har was wondering what in the heck was going on!!! Lol!!

I have stayed out of the Halloween candy that I bought for trick or treaters so far, but I haven't been very good about staying out of the Rolo's in our pumpkin on the island.
Enjoy the mince pie & gingerbread tea!! I have never had either of those things! :rolleyes: Enjoy your afternoon!!
 
Happy Pines day. Our son went back to college yesterday evening. We enjoyed having him home for his fall break. Always tough to see him leave. As planned, we binge watched the entire 4th season of Longmire on Netflix over the weekend. Hopefully they will renew it for a 5th season.
The weather was nice while he was home. We had a frost every morning. Sadly it is forecast to warm up for a few days.

Have a blessed day.

Wow. So glad it wasn't worse and it ended up being comical.

No, not that I could see. There was smoke or steam coming up from it or the glass, though!
LOL, I think so! :D

Happy Pines Day, mgramsey!
Glad that you had wonderful family time with your son, and beautiful weather too.
Hope you have a blessed day!
 
Out of the 3 Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas Charlie Brown's which is your favorite? Good debate...probably should be on a separate thread somewhere. Probably is and I'm just too lazy to check for it.

I enjoy them all, but Linus quoting the Christmas Story puts the Christmas one above the others. I have a Hallmark ornament that is ball ornament with the Peanuts nativity scene on it & the scripture quoted. I got it while DH & I were dating. In the years when we put up our "Hallmark tree", I am very careful with it. It's one of the least expensive ones we have from Hallmark, but one of my favorites!

We missed The Great Pumpkin last night because we were at dinner for a niece's 12th birthday. We have it on DVD, so we'll get to it!

All of my co-workers are at a conference through tomorrow. I'm listening to classic Christmas music & I lit a "winter" scented candle. It smells like burning wood mixed with something I just can't place. I have my coat wrapped around my legs because it's chilly in the office. I'm having myself a Christmassy time while I'm alone!

Thanks, me too.
I was trying so hard not to laugh- Adrian, he doesn't do well with early mornings, and I had to wake him out of a deep sleep. He just seemed confused, and said how on earth do these things happen to you? ;)

Good Morning, whitney~
The Hallmark ornament sounds beautiful.
Enjoy your Christmassy time at work! Sounds wonderful!
 
My neighbor voted for me to keep the Christmas Tree up and suggested certain fall decorations to put on it. That makes 10 votes to keep the tree up! I will manage to drag this poll out until November 1st! Yay!
:jump
Awesome! Enjoy!!

:tree:

I would love to have that ornament! One of the best parts of the cartoon along with the ending where they sing around the tree! I can see why that ornament is special to you!

What brand and name of candle do you have? Sounds festive!!!
