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.

Looking forward to seeing you then! Thank you so much for this wonderful post!!
 
do any of you ever go on Google maps street view just to wander around and look at places and things you most likely will never actually get to physically visit ?
I was in one community and came across this house kind of tucked in a wooded area and it was all decorated for halloween. It has ghosts hanging from trees, tomb stones, webs on the bushes, skeletons dressed up ghosts with pumpkin heads sitting on the porch waiting to scare kids. So well done !

Sounds like an awesome and spooky home to go trick-or-treating at! Love it!
 
Merry Thursday, MMC!

In the midst of a wind storm right now, but if the power stays on, I will be counting down with everyone later tonight.

6 hours, 3 minutes!!!
 
Okay well it's good night from me guys. It's been a long day and tomorrow is set to be another one but none of it matters because it's the most wonderful time of the year! I intend to savour every moment and that includes the not so good ones.

56 Mins to go here in the UK till the start of the Season!
See you in the morning friends.
 
Good evening everyone!
I made the executive decision to begin my decorating today despite my rule not to do so before Thanksgiving. I realized that much of the stress I was feeling the last couple of years have been from Thanksgiving being so late in November. It just was really cramping my style!
So on Thanksgiving, I will still decorate our table with my pilgrims and pumpkins, but the rest of the house...well, you guessed it!
I hope all of you are well and feeling the most wonderful season's magic already!

We have that nasty wind, too!
Stay safe and warm, friend.
Praying that your power stays on.
