Good Morning, Folks.

We are really closing in on the start of Christmas Season 2015 now, as our Special Post series continues.

Today's numbers:
Days to the Season: 4 (BARELY OVER HALF A WEEK REMAINS!!)
Days to Thanksgiving: 17 (Now UNDER two 1/2 weeks!)
Days to Christmas Day: 46 (Just over 6 1/2 weeks left!)

(Yep. Dwindling down into a bedpost alright.)


Dry and sunny yesterday, albeit a bit chilly.
The rain has returned today and we have started off this special Season Debut Week at 48 degrees here in the capital city.

Be sure to scroll up and read Binger's excellent and succinct Special Post about what it means to us to be MMC members! Thanks, Bing.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody!

Resilient:
Despite a world that is moving too fast and changing by the minute, we have a community that is steadfast in holding on to the very thing that harkens us back to a simpler time. It is a time of goodwill, and deep values of togetherness, thoughtfulness, and genuine concern and care. We have never "officially" met. Sure, we Facebook, yet we do not physically visit each other. However, we share with one another tragedies and joy. We send each other gifts and notes. We cyber visit and year to year we move ahead united with one thing in common: we love the holidays and we daily think about each other.

I repeat my annual refrain: in a world surely gone mad, we adamantly refuse to become cynical. We are together, we are community, we are genuine, and we are resilient. We are the family of My Merry Christmas.

And so it has come to this: four days until the season.

Lovely post Binger ,thank you for a great start to our Monday ..! Blessings To You

I know. I picked the Packers in that game in my work league. Been hoping they'd come back lol.

Soooo close! Can't win 'em all.

 

[missiechick]

Awesome comeback, wish they could've pulled it off.

Me too! That game really got me off the couch. I was cheering and yelling. Our little girl was wondering what was going on.

Good morning MMC!! Thought I would pop in to say "HI" before I try to get caught up from the weekend! I'm excited to read the special posts! Something to look forward too on a Monday morning! I wanted to check in yesterday, but the day was just busy! I had to get my appetizers ready to roll for my sisters surprise 40th Anniversary party...which they were VERY surprised! It was great! My future nieces shower was good on Saturday - she whipped through them presents - was done in an hour! "you go girl" Our family all went together -we made it a shower & wedding gift - & got her a very nice (big) camera & case she was wanting, along with extra cash to buy a new lens or 2 - or whatever accessories she will need. We told her she is the new family photographer!
I have a busy day today ~ I'm going Christmas shopping with my neighbor ladies tomorrow so I need to find Macy's, Carsons, Kohls, etc coupons....I also need to get to the grocery b/c I don't know if I have enough coffee for everyone in the morning. They are meeting at our house for coffee & cinnamon rolls ~ so obviously I need to make cinnamon rolls too! I don't have time for this work thing today. Ha ha ha!
Have a great Monday MMC!
Here is a pic of a few of my great niece & nephews at the party yesterday - love it! Little cheese balls!

And I'm off to read....

I don't know guys today felt like the season started for me. This weekend has been really awesome. I found out today my brother is coming from CA Dec 19th and staying for at least 10 days. I mean I knew he was coming for Christmas but didn't think for that long and just hearing him telling me the exact date got me so excited. Talked to my mom today about Thanksgiving and getting a turkey etc. Just felt like everyone around me today was getting into the holiday spirit big time. I don't even care that I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm on an adrenaline high...and I feel like this time of year that I don't even want to rush the work days by either.

I am happy for you! I am not there, yet. I think I need to see some snow first, or the holiday usually hits me full blast when I am Black Friday shopping with my sister. I don't buy anything, but there is SO much Christmas everywhere and it just makes me Happy!! Enjoy your Merry Monday!!

Hello everyone. I've realized I'll need frequent MMC breaks to keep my sanity this weekend! I hope you all have a great night.

Hope your weekend went well Ryan! xx

 

[Holiday]

Yes the party is a surprise. He thinks we're just getting together for dinner on Sunday so I really don't think he'll be expecting anything tomorrow night!

Love it! Hope he was surprised!!!
