Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Holiday]

It's heartbreaking to see it happen far to soon. Thanks, Holiday.

The procedure was quite painless. I am impressed. The only downfall is that the pain should be returning in the next hour or so. Oh, and that $1100 cost was quite painful, too. It isn't something that I can afford, really. Hopefully insurance covers it and quickly.

It IS heartbreaking! Makes me so sad to think of it!

Hopefully some pain meds will keep your pain at bay! (and visiting MMC can't hurt ether! )

SUGAR! Nice to see you! I'll be looking forward to seeing you around here more often! Good luck on your final test! I'm glad to hear you like your new job!! Take care ~ have a great day!

Good to see you too, Holiday!

Thank you - I plan on starting to trying to study for that one today.
Hope you have a great day too!

Morning all, the season is so close you can almost taste the salted caramel fudge hot chocolate. Hopefully after I grow a second set of hands and cut myself in half I'll get a chance of a catch up. Have a good day.

I just mixed up a batch of double chocolate fudge for tonight !

Good Morning MMC!! Hope you are all doing well...we had a very busy weekend. We were in Barrington, RI at our last soccer tournament and guess who stayed at our hotel and I got to meet him?? The Karate Kid...Ralph Macchio!! He was really nice!. He took a pic with all our soccer girls!
I cannot believe how close we are getting to Christmas...I am so excited but it is flying by! I want it to slow down.
Have a great day!

Have a great Thursday Festive!

Morning all, the season is so close you can almost taste the salted caramel fudge hot chocolate. Hopefully after I grow a second set of hands and cut myself in half I'll get a chance of a catch up. Have a good day.

Sounds so good Tis!! Enjoy your day!

Glad to hear it

I need to work on Christmas cards!
And also get some extra rest, I still don't feel 100%.
We may go see a movie & go out to dinner.

How about you?

Hope you feel better Snowflake!!

Good morning, Jolly Folks! I am up early this morning with my husband who has to catch a plane for work. I hate it when he travels, but at least it's not super close to Thanksgiving.
The weather here has really taken a turn for the colder. Yesterday started out cold and sunny, so me and the little one took our morning walk. By 6pm the winds were whipping and it was pouring rain. We are supposed to get more of that today and a chance for snow tomorrow. Right now 39 degrees. I like it!
Plans for today: home with the little girl, so coloring, reading books, and playing mixed in with cleaning, organizing and maybe some decorating.
Have a great Thursday, Friends!!

Have a great Thursday missie! Enjoy the time with your daughter!

Merry Thursday Morning, MMC! What an exciting day it is! Merry Season Eve!

Looking forward to popping in tonight sometime after work, picking up my supplies for my 8K Saturday, and band rehearsal, so around 10:30EST. I've noticed garlands and lights up at the shopping centers, commercials on TV, and a radio commercial for a Christmas tree lighting. I haven't heard of a station flipping to Christmas music near me, but that's okay! It will happen eventually.

I don't think I've wrapped my head around not only is the season starting tonight, but the Thanksgiving holiday for the US is just days away...oh my gosh. So much to look forward to and get done!

Have a productive and cheerful day, MMC crew! See you tonight!

Have a great day DYHWIH!! I cannot believe T-giving is 2 weeks away! How did that happen!

Good morning MMC!
Happy Thursday!
Typical day of errands and daily chores. I also need to start working on some deep cleaning that I want done before Thanksgiving. It's getting close, two more weeks to go. Looks like I'm going to get that fresh turkey from my butcher after all. My husband will be doing work for him while he's renovating the store. He said he's going to order a few for whoever wants them! He's also hoping to re-open before Christmas which would be wonderful.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Have a great day HMG! Enjoy your Thursday! Great news about your turkey!

SPECIAL POST #5

One. We are one day away from the Christmas Season. One day from a season of love, laughter, peace on earth, and goodwill to all. For the past seven years, I have had the pleasure of counting down with some of the finest people I have never met, yet that I always leave (electronically) with a smile on my face. Indeed, MMC, we are a family of different generations, religions, opinions, and beliefs, yet we accept everyone because we all cherish what is beyond our next sleep. And, it is the Christmas Season that brings us together as one.

In the spirit of the final countdown to the Season, it only feels proper for me to preface my next thoughts with some lyrics from Kermit The Frog.

“There’s magic in the air this evening
Magic in the air
The word is at her best, you know
When people love and care
The promise of excitement is one the night will keep
After all, there’s only one more sleep ‘til Christmas.”

Although the song “One More Sleep ‘Til Christmas” refers to Christmas Day, I believe it fits perfectly with our yearly tradition and Countdown. Every year, we temper our excitement – to the best of our abilities – for the Christmas Season. Sure, we have our “Milestone” days and weekly celebrations at the ‘Pines, but we know that our favourite time of the year has a specific time and place. Now, we see that Christmas has bud and is ready to fully Blossom before our very eyes.

“Magic” will be in the air this evening, and that magic will overcome our lovely MMC family as we think about those we love, and those loved ones that we have lost, and keep them with us during our favourite time of the year. In less than 24 hours, we will all be able to smile and wish everyone our two favourite words without hesitation. Yes, this evening, once again, we will come together as one and welcome the 2015 Christmas Season!

Friends, there is only one more day. I am looking forward to carrying on the tradition of counting down with you tonight, in real time.

Wonderful post Brent! Have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Seasons Eve!!
Happy Friday Eve too! What a day!

Not much going on here today! Been a busy week - there is a Christmas open house at my candle lady's starting today through Saturday - I had planned on going tonight but I think I'm going to pass. It is SO windy, dark & dreary & I'm kinda tired. Getting off work, making supper & hanging at home tonight with my girl sounds kinda nice!

Have a Fabulous Friday/Seasons Eve day friends!

Happy Friday Eve Holiday...have a great day!

Yes!! I could not wait to tell you all! I will post the pic later...My daughter has it on her phone!

Good morning my friend! Happy Friday Eve!!! Did you celebrate with Har last night?

We shared some snacks and hung out on the couch! (it was thunders storming outside, and she was nervous)
I loved on her quite a bit!

[snowflake22]

[snowflake22]

Hello friends! Long time no see! I know it's been quite a while, but I wanted to stop in and say hi, especially since the special posts are partaking.

Two of the three tests I have to do for work, I now have done and I will be taking the last one next week and will have all my certifications, so I plan on being here more regularly again. Between being very busy with the kids and in my free time studying, if not at work, that's what I've been doing! My new job is going great though and I love it - it's very rewarding!

I think of you all often and pray for you all too! Hope all is well with you all! Have a great Thursday! Christmas is coming!!!

Nice to see you, sugar~
Glad everything is going well!
Have a happy Friday Eve!!

 

[snowflake22]

Hope you have a blessed day too snowflake!

Thanks, friend!
