Good Morning.
And what a Morning!
It arrives pre-packaged with the knowledge that on THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, Christmas Season 2015 begins and runs uninterrupted for FIFTY consecutive days, all the way through New Year's Day.
Yes, Folks. The Christmas Season has DEPTH which is why we include a Season count.

Here are today's numbers:
Days to the Season: 2 (Yep. The day after tomorrow, for sure!!)
Days to Thanksgiving: 15 (TWO WEEKS from tomorrow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 44 (Nearly down to 6 weeks!)

(It's almost here, Guys.)


Nice and dry here yesterday although a bit chilly.
More dryness today and perhaps a tad warmer, with the increased sun.
We have begun this almost-to-the-Season day at 48 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!
See you at the 'Pines where Carl will go all out with a "Welcome Christmas Season 2015!" theme.
Sentiment mixed with fun. Can't beat it. (Not to mention the free fired twinkies and sweet tea!) Please come!



The remaining Special Post schedule:

Today - Day 2 before the Season = Ryan
Tomorrow - Day 1 before the Season = Brent
Tomorrow night - Real-time final countdown to midnight.
Friday - THE SEASON BEGINS at 12:00 AM!

LOL ! We are all nuts!

 

[Christmasstar]

Merry Morning!
Happy Pines Day!

The technicians are here working. The house is in such a mess! They are going to be here most of the day and I'm hoping that it doesn't cross over into tomorrow! Both the water and gas has been turned off which I hadn't thought of. So can't cook or do laundry or anything. Anyway I am glad it's happening and it will soon be over. The guys are great and being careful and tidy which I truly appreciate! Once this is over I have some major deep cleaning!!!!

Hope everyone is well and has a good Wednesday! It is Wednesday right?

hoping it is all done soon and done right the first time !
On the bright side, the pre Christmas cleaning will all be done !!

Good morning!
My boys are 12 years old today ♥♥
Always have a strange hurting feeling on their Birthday
Worst day of my life that day back in 2003
But so thankful they survived (ttts) and after a month in the hospital
we could take them home - and everything was just fine. Perfect!

Im counting days to New York. 8 days left...
Looking for places to visit (Christmas shops) and places to eat.

Now Im gonna go up to the attic and find me a box of Christmas stuff ♡
Im gonna watch out for the ladder though

have a great trip, post lots of pictures !

Merry Morning, MMC! Happy Pines Day and Wednesday!

Typical day today. About to head off to work and then church choir rehearsal this evening. Boy am I tired! That late night rehearsal last night plus rehearsal til 9 tonight and 10 tomorrow night....I'm going to be ready for Friday! Saturday is my 8K race though, and my husband's MARATHON! Goooo Mr. DYHWIH!!!!!

Hope everyone has a marvelous day!

Choirs are great to be a part of. What event are you practising for?
I wish our church still had a choir, I really miss joining in with that.
Have a great day !

Good morning!
Happy Pine's Day!
It's going to be another dreary day, clouds/showers with a high of 57 degrees. Not too much going on here, typical day of errands and chores. I have to order my turkey for Thanksgiving. My butcher never re-opened after the fire but they finally started to renovate. Unfortunately he won't be open in time for the holidays. I need to decide where I'm going to go. I'm also going to stop at Bed, Bath and Beyond for a few things. I love that store. And I'm going to visit my parents while I'm out. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

dreary day here to weather wise. Hope you find the perfect turkey for your celebrations.
I am going to see my mom today too.
Have a great day !!

8K race nice...have a great day!

on foot or in a car ?

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! It's currently 48 degrees with rain. We are expecting a forecast high temperature today of 55 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. That early morning rain should be tapering off any minute now.
So back to the middle of the week and I am feeling extra energy after an 8 hour sleep. I am going to Applebee's for dinner tonight with my fam. Something to look forward to. I have to also study some more for my exam on Thursday. Busy day ahead but it's all good because we're almost there...you know where. I'll let the experts tell ya here shortly this morning .
Have a great Wednesday and see you guys at the Pines!

sounds like a great day ! Enjoy

Good, I am so glad to hear it! Hope you are back to 100% very soon.

Thank you very much!

Good evening,


A long day here, between the Dr appointment and other things and errands. I am pretty healthy, just need to lose some weight, everything else is good.
I got my flu shot, I am not feeling too well tonight, but hopefully I don't have to worry about being down and out for a week and a half like last year because of the flu.
I was able to get more lights and garland up, and take an inventory and alphabetize all of our Christmas DVD's. Everything is in it's case and ready to be watched.
Back to work to throw turkeys to the wolves tomorrow.
Goodnight, everyone.

Sounds like you're (literally) getting things in order for the holidays!

Two weeks from today will be my day to string lights on the tree, while listening to "The Cinnamon Bear." I'll probably be writing cards during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And the Season begins in just a couple days. Can't hardly believe it's all that close!

 

[Festive Spirit]

hoping it is all done soon and done right the first time !
On the bright side, the pre Christmas cleaning will all be done !!

Thanks! Yes that's exactly what I'm thinking too!

That's a lovely Christmas card!
Mr. tells me they have carriage rides in downtown Boston, too. Must do that sometime!

Yes, it's Wednesday again, second day in a row!

Sorry it's so inconvenient for you today. But keep thinking about how cozy it will be during the winter!

When they put in our new water heater, the technician turned the water off while I was in the middle of washing the breakfast dishes! I let out a howl of dismay and Mr. came dashing upstairs to see what the emergency was. No harm done, but Mr. was embarrassed by my outburst!

We will love hearing about your trip to New York! It's so exciting that it's so close.

I love it when he watches the home movies. Hardly anybody knows how to run a film projector anymore! (And who even has a film projector? Except us!)

Happy Veterans Day everyone! Merry Pines Day too! Hope you are all off to a good start today!! You all were chatty while I was away yesterday!

We had such a good time shopping. I did a lot of "me" shopping & very little Christmas shopping. We were with 12 neighbor ladies ~ such fun! The lady checking me out at Hobby Lobby was just shaking her head laughing - they had to call up ALL their cashiers when we went to check out (there were other customers too) & she says "I don't know where you all came from!!" LOL! The manager asked if it was Friday after Thanksgiving! Ha ha! I was in awe of all the beautiful Christmas at Hobby Lobby! I need a fatter wallet & a mansion to decorate...I want it all! HA! I came home with probably a dozen bags & I set them all down in front of the couch. Miss Gracie went straight to the bag I had a toy in for her...dug her nose through it & went tearing through the house with her new toy! Merry Christmas Grace!

Back to the grind today!!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday MMC!

Sounds like a really fine day, except for the weather!
It's gray and rainy here, too. Makes me feel drowsy.

Hey y'all! Hope all is well! I just wanted to drop in and say all of the special posts have been amazing. I've been keeping up!

My Dad had a stroke two weeks ago. Sunday morning, he had another. We have been in the hospital until today. Don't fret! All is good! My Christmas gift came early. He is lucky to be here and we are lucky to bring him home! See y'all tomorrow and I can't wait for Thursday night!

I'm sorry to hear that, Friend. Praying hard for your family and that your dad can make a full recovery.
