Thank you festive ..
Is there a website I can Google to find out if the Paris airport is open?
I'm not that computer savvy ..
Thanks friend

If you know which airport , you can go directly to their site and check flight status.This should give you an accurate idea. It may be worth checking the status a few times as things may change. I will keep an ear and eye out for any news about flights etc. I couldn't find anything just yet.

At the moment borders have been closed though.

It is so scary. I am waiting to find out news about a couple friends there. Beyond heartbreaking and so close to here that it is also very frightening.

Merriest of mornings, MMC, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wish I could have stayed up with you all! I have a big weekend ahead tomorrow...my husband is running his first marathon and I'm running my 8th 8K (4.96 miles). I haven't trained well for this one, so I'm pretty nervous. I hope I can just finish and have run the whole thing! Wish me luck. :)

Hope everyone has an absolutely wonderful day today!

Merry Christmas, DYHWIH! Best of luck to you and your Hubs on your runs!

Hello all,

Yesterday was my birthday, I turned 52! Gosh, the years are just blowing by like the leaves outside the window on my house.
I also got a phone call yesterday evening (at 6 pm) from the company I interviewed with weeks ago and they hired me over the phone last night, with the catch that I have to start this coming Monday. Whoa...was not expecting that-at-all! , well, cannot say no, because it is a job of a lifetime, so I accepted. Today I have gotten into the office early, already packed up all my office contents and put them in the van before anyone came into the office this morning. Now, I have to break the bad news to them...feel a little bad....
My kids gave me a swell birthday last night, trying to cheer me up, especially because they know how sad I have been lately with so many negative things going on in my life at the moment. So many, too many to list and well everyone has them, so I will not go into details. It's just accepting them and dealing with the cards that you have drawn from the deck of life....

A belated Happy Birthday to you, xmastidings! How sweet of your kids to give you a swell birthday ~ what a special day that must have been for you.
Congratulations on your new job! Hope it is everything you want it to be and more.
I'm so sorry that there are so many negative things going on in your life right now. Keeping you in my prayers! (((HUGS)))

The Wonderful Ties That Bind

What a great year! Another fantastic countdown.
And thread participation WAY beyond what I ever dreamed possible when we first started here almost 10 years ago. (Has it really been that long?)

What keeps us here and keeps us coming back day after day and year after year?
Our common love of Christmas and its wonderful surrounding Season, of course.
But more than that, I think all of us know something truly good when we see it.
We see common ground with each other and we know that only the finest, nicest and kindest people would gravitate to a place such as this one. A site whose very topic insipires this kind of atmosphere. A haven where we can relax, be ourselves and not feel judged, all while wrapped in the contex of a deep, common interest.
(Can the same be said of many -- perhaps most -- other threads on the internet?)

So, as we proceed through the depth of this 50 day Season, hum a Christmas tune, put on a knowing smile and wrap yourselves in the warmth that this time of year and our wonderful members help to impart.

Have a Magnificently Merrry Christmas Season my Friends, and thanks again for another great year!

Merry Afternoon,

It's Christmas!
It's Christmas!
It brings such pleasure to say it, I had to say it twice! :D

It has been another year counting down with you all and thank you so much for the laughs, support and friendships.

Wishing each of you a joyful, memorable season filled with all of your favourite things and the presence of people who mean the most to you.

I'm getting SO excited to put up my tree! SO EXCITED!! I planned to start on in Thursday (Nov 19) but my hubby is going to be helping a friend split wood this Sunday ~ I may have to start on it?! (Wouldn't he be surprised when he gets home!) :D

I'm jealous! Usually my tree is up by now, but I haven't had the time. Not to mention one extremely mischievous tabby cat I have to take into account. Have fun and post pictures when you are done!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! And Happy Fiday!! Wish I could have joined last night in the countdowns, but I've had little sleep with my work load at the university (I'm a custodian there) having doubled since Sept 1, going through a consolidation with my church and another and being a major player in that plus having a part time job at a radio station and our staff is dwindling there so I have more to do there also. My head would have made a louder crash than Jay's if I had tried to stay up. If it weren't for everyone here, I'd probably go crazy. I know I don't post much, but I do keep tabs and hope to contribute more in the little downtime I do get.

Once again, Merry Christmas and happy Friday everyone!

Sean

The trees look gorgeous in the commercial ~ nice to know it is true! I must say that your tree is always gorgeous, Merry. Love the pictures you have posted of it!

TGIF, my Christmas friends, and Happy Start of the Season!!

Not even Friday the 13th can slow this day down!!

I'm still trying to get over the time change a couple weeks ago, so there was no way I could have stayed up to bring in the season with y'all, but it sounds like a raucous time was had by all! LOL

Today is Lulu's 6th birthday! Elizabeth is making her a peanut butter cake later today, and I'll take her for a long ride in my truck while she hangs out.

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Merry First Day of the Season to you, Brad! A very Happy Birthday to Lulu! Sounds like a wonderful day you have planned for her. Give her a hug from me!
