I've only picked up a few little things for my nephews so better to get them wrapped before they find them

Will pick up presents every week from now on so I won't be rushing at Christmas

Sounds like a good plan...it's nice not having to rush.

Good afternoon Snowflake!
My day is going well. So excited, I just ordered Def Leppard tickets lol. I think it's so cool that so many of the groups I grew up listening to are still going strong.
Hope your day is going well too!
Sending hugs and prayers ♥

That's awesome!
I've seen them a few times, myself. Once when I was younger and twice while I lived in Vegas. Are you a hairband girl? I definitely am ;-)
My days going pretty well, taking Har for a walk now. She seems to be better this morning, so I'm grateful.
Thank you for the hugs and prayers! Sending some back to you guys!

I always left it to the last minute and was stressed out by it so I pick up little bits through out the year and have it all done early now so I can enjoy watching everyone else stressing out

I am a hairband girl too, without a doubt. I saw so many of them in the 80's. If a band played at our coliseum, my friends and I were there. I remember paying $12.00 for a ticket back then, so we could afford to go to every show. Tickets are so expensive now. This concert isn't until February, I'm excited to go!
I'm glad your day is going well and that Harlowe is having a good day too. Enjoy the rest of the day!
xoxo

Sounds like a great plan, so smart to wrap as you buy gifts too!

I need to start getting ready for the company party that my husband and I are going to this evening. It will probably be a late night so I may not make it back here until tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great night. See you in the morning!

Have you ever bought a digital song that had a short "stutter" in one part of it? I bought a Christmas track to use in my Kringle Radio work, and there's a flaw in the track, even when I re-download it. Grrrr ... I opened it in Audacity and patched the spot with music from another part of the track. I don't think anyone will hear the patch, but it annoys me that I had to put in extra work because the track came with a flaw.

Mr. has come down with a nasty cold, I had multiple nasty financial surprises this week, and it's a gray-weather day here, so I'm kinda "down" today. So I think I'll get out of here before I cast a cloud over things!

Not a bad idea. One year I bought a few things each month through the year but for some reason when it came to Thanksgiving I felt kind of weird not buying much. I order online to avoid the stress (at least maybe 60-70% of the stuff I buy is online).

I don't mind at all. I'll do Saturday and you can do Sunday...I'll back you up "just in case' you don't make it on Sunday but I will leave it to you to do it. I've seen your work with the count...very impressive.

Thanks, Edge. I am happy to do it tomorrow. Conveniently, I will be awake bright and early to watch Kim's nephews' football game. I'll be able to update the count before heading out the door!

Good Saturday Morning MMC! We currently have 37 degrees under partly sunny skies. We are expecting a high temperature today of 55 with partly sunny skies. The late October chill is here.
Now on to some BUSINESS. This is what we enjoy reading every morning. Time for the count. Let's take a look at some numbers this Saturday morning shall we?
Days to Halloween: 7 (that's 1 week from TODAY!)
Days to the Season: 20 (LESS than 3 weeks away!)
Days to Christmas: 62 (LESS than 9 weeks away!)

Wow those numbers are almost frighteningly low. But this is what we wait for all year. To be THIS close...yet we still have everything ahead of us. It's a great view to be THIS close yet a great feeling to know we still haven't even started the Christmas Season yet! Enjoy where we are right now and let's enjoy every single minute that we can leading into it all beginning.

Have a Sensational Saturday everyone!

Great job, Edge. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date!

Happy two months until Christmas Eve, everyone!!!

What a night. My friend Sean and I had a great time in Montreal at the concert and walking around a bit today. Now, on to the more important thing... We are only TWO MONTHS away from Christmas Eve. It is difficult to fathom that in two weeks, we will be settling into our homes and preparing ourselves for the most magical night of the year!

Well, I want to say more, but I will leave it for tomorrow's countdown update. I hope you all have been enjoying your Saturday!

I plan to have everything bought before I go to the Christmas markets in Germany so I can enjoy them even more
