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!

We've been battling with those dreaded burnt out Christmas lights! 4 hours later, all of the lights work! Lol!
I plan to make a festive drink to wind down ;)
Goodnight, friends~

Oh no! Hope you had a festive weekend after battling the lights! (I guess I'll find out as I read on... :p) A festive drink is a great way to end a night like that! :)

Happy November birthday!
Today is mine so we all will make a great day/week of it! :sway
Happy Belated birthday to you! I hope your birthday weekend was great!

I didn't know there was a separate thread with special posts. Thanks for sharing!!!

It was, ha ha! Grrrr! :p
I plan to decorate it today, and then start with some other decorations as time allows.
Harlowe & I had fun searching for the bulb tester last night, ripping open boxes of decorations. She's such a little detective, sniffing and getting into everything ;)
She had a good night, so that made me happy.
This post made me :D ~ I'm glad Har was having a good fun weekend!!! xx Told ya she missed her mama! :D;)
 
Good morning MMC!! Thought I would pop in to say "HI" ::wave 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" :D 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!
;)

Good Morning, Holiday!
Happy Monday~
It sounds like you had a busy & FUN weekend!
Have fun Christmas shopping tomorrow with your friends! :)
 
Wonderful special posts thus far by Edge and Binger! Both put a smile on my face that I am sure that I cannot lose until 2016!

Happy Belated birthday to you! I hope your birthday weekend was great!

Good morning, everyone!

The final full week before the Christmas Season has completed. Now, we're into the final sprint. Temperatures in Canada's Capital are a comfortable mid-single digits/40s today. We should reach a high of about 11c/49f. Good stuff for being so close to our favourite Season.

I had a fairly enjoyable, yet busy weekend. In a sense of spending money, it was productive. I had to purchase some winter tires for our new car (we bought it in July). I got a great deal and only spent $370 on winter tires that were only used for about three weeks and regularly retail for about $650. Hooray! Yesterday, I drove about 45 minutes to pickup some steel rims for super cheap. They were only $30 for four.. and they're usually at least $150 for four. Good things come to those that are willing to drive, I guess!

Kim and I also attended our old roommate Mike's wedding shower. His wife's family came up from Florida, so it was a very nice occasion. We were glad to celebrate with them.

This week should be a busy one. As of right now, I am only working today and Friday. I'm really hoping for work to come in for tomorrow and Wednesday. I cannot work Thursday due to having a tooth pulled. Not looking forward to that at all! I need work. Hopefully I can get at least one more day.

Well, here we are, everyone. The Christmas is ready to Blossom. I can't wait. There are only four days left until we can say those two magical words. Have a great Monday!

Good Morning, Brent~
Glad that you founds some good deals on the tires and rims!
Kim & Mike's shower sounds like it was a fun time. Congrats to them!
Fingers crossed that you get some calls for work on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Good luck on Thursday at the dentist, I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Have a wonderful day!
 
Good Morning, Everyone! Sunny and 32 degrees here. This Monday is starting out so much better now that I have stopped by and got my Christmas fix. Have a great day! :)
Good Morning, missiechick!
We're pretty close to you in temps, thank God for the sunshine.
Hope you have a Merry day! :)
 
Merry Monday Snowflake!
Thank you so much, I had a pretty good night. I hope you did too. Continued prayers for Harlowe and for you as well ♥
I hope you have a nice day :)
Merry Monday, HmG~
Glad to hear that <3
We did better than Saturday night, thanks. Praying that tonight brings more sleep.
Hope you have a wonderful day :D
