Love the quote, Holiday! Merry Christmas, my friend!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! We were up at 5am as our 6 year old came in proclaiming Santa had been to our house. Wonderful time opening presents.
Time to clean up a bit and then start cooking a turkey and getting ready for dinner.
I hope everyone is having a joyous Christmas Day!
Anyone else been having trouble getting into this thread today? I have to try multiple times to get past various error messages. No other site has the problem, just this one.
Better wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS now before I get locked out!
Merry Christmas!
Brent, congratulations to you and Kim!
DYHWIH, prayers for your hubby at work!
Crown, enjoy your break! Thank you so much for counting down for us!
What a lovely day! I took a long walk and looked at all the plants that are blooming now that shouldn't be, dodging cats along the way. They were happy to be out and about on such a nice sunny day. Packed the truck for work tomorrow. I finished at 10 last night and promptly went to bed. Could not sleep, though. Christmas day anticipation still gets to me! Palmer loved her present. She was hard to buy for this year as she does not play with her jingle balls very much any more and definitely has a favorite polar fleece blanket ( my snowflake one!) so no new ones will work. I got her a baby brush ~ she absolutely loved it! Yay! The outdoor critters all got special food ~ from the cats to the birds. It was quite festive out there with all the purring and chattering. My brother is here so I need to get cooking.
Merry Christmas!!!

I couldn't connect last night and gave up after several tries from different paths. It was a bit disappointing for me as I wanted to be with everyone the last hour of Christmas Eve, but I worried more if the forums were down that Jeff Westover would miss some of his family time in trying desperately to make everything run like a well oiled merry machine. He sacrifices so much for us to enjoy our happy home away from home. I was hoping it was just a problem on my end. I was still able to track Santa on the updates.
I haven't been able to listen to the annual greeting podcast on Kringle Radio as it appears I don't have any of the music players on my tablet and my laptop has connected to the internet in since I created the link to my tablet (go figure). My tablet plays music with a USB drive so I figured I had software in place.
I'm trying to play a bit of catch up on here from yesterday and today.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you, dear Crown, for putting so much excitement into your countdown posts; hopefully I won't have any hiccups and can join everyone for the wrap up of 2015 and the welcome of the new countdown thread for 2016 as our merry tradition dictates.![]()
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas morning. What a magical day! Kim and I had a splendid first Christmas together with my family. Last night, we had my brother, his wife, her father, and a few members of his side of the family came over for our Christmas (Eve) dinner! We'd never had turkey dinner and everything on Christmas Eve before, but my brother works today at 6pm, so we had to change our plans a little. Even if it was different, it was still delicious and we had a wonderful time.
Santa was quite good to Kim and I this year. I received plenty of clothes for running, a few games, and much more! Don't worry, Simon even made it out very well. He had a stocking full of goodies and toys. Of course, he also loved all the wrapping paper, too!
Thank you for yet another wonderful year, MMC! I am sorry that I have been a little more absent than I would prefer in the past week or so. I've been super busy with plenty of things. Going to Cornwall for Kim's grandfather's wake and funeral was certainly the most difficult thing I experienced all year... and the timing did not help, either. Thank you for al the well wishes and support earlier, too.
Finally, Kim and I have been keeping something secret since December 5th - when we went to Alight at Night in Morrisburg, Ontario. At the end of our adventure, I proposed. Kim said "yes," and after 9.5 years and living together for 7 of those, we are engaged and will be getting married in 2017. Until December 23rd, only her family knew. We wanted to keep it a secret and surprise my side of the family when we came to the Sault. Initially, it was suppose to be December 19th, but the funeral delayed everything until the 23rd. Either way, we are very excited! Hopefully the photo below shows up.
Merry Christmas, everyone!!
