Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Edge612]

Pretty amazing Easter won't be in March again until 2024.
If you ever wondered how when Easter is determined here it is.

In 325CE the Council of Nicaea established that Easter would be held on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox.(*) From that point forward, the Easter date depended on the ecclesiastical approximation of March 21 for the vernal equinox.

And he's smart too ...ty for the info!

Made it to work (dang it! ) Driving to work at 5am is nice because there isn't much for other traffic. Not looking forward to shoveling. Hope everyone in the path of the storm is safe and warm and that everyone else has a merry day!!

Glad you made it work (although it might have been fun to stay home!)

If it weren't the end of March, I'd say that this is pretty

That makes me hope for that scene...in about 9 months!

Good Thursday Morning MMC! Happy Thursday, Friday Eve, Holy Thursday anddddddddddd 9 months until the best day of the year (IMO) Christmas Eve! How's everyone doing today? Can't believe all the snow out in Wisconsin and Michigan. As my grams used to say "let it stay there." No offense snowflake and Sean and company! But I hope everyone is safe in the storm. I'm heading to work and looking forward to Easter weekend already. We have great plans to have lasagna, biscuits and pastries on Easter. Applebee's was great. Now I'm just looking to do this Thursday work thing...and speaking of I better get going.
Have a great Friday Eve everyone!

Good Morning, Christmas Chasers.

And the pursuit is a merry one, isn't it?

Let's check on our progress:
Days to the Season: 234
Days to Christmas Day: 276

And the DAY AFTER TOMORROW will see us a full 1/4 of the way back to Christmas Day.
(And just look how close we are to moving into the 100's for our Season count.)
WOW!


Well, now. Nice and warm with sunny skies, moderate breezes and plenty of sun.
That was the order of the day yesterday with more of the same predicted for today.
Right now, we stand at 59 degrees here, headed for the upper 70's by this afternoon.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everybody!

Good morning, friends~
Happy Friday Eve!!
Another tough night here, Miss Harlowe was up & down coughing, and anxious.
Now I get to go shovel, even though we pay a large monthly fee that covers it-they probably won't be here until after i go into work, so if I want to get out I'll need to.
Plus I want it to be safe for when Reggie comes by.Then again, it will probably still be snowing.
Wishing you all a safe & cozy day!

Hello everyone. Work has been insanely busy!
Next week I'll be in an area with no coverage so I'll be AWOL from the forums completely for a bit. But I'm always thinking of y'all. Have a merry day!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I have a three-day weekend coming up, and it's supposed to rain all weekend. Oh, well. More time for the Xbox, right? Still, today is another beautiful one, going to be sunny & 75°. I want to go fishing!

I hope y'all have a great day!
