Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

Your glimpse of Christmas-on-the-way reminded me of something I read recently: At City Hall Plaza in Boston, they're going to set up a European-style Christmas market and an ice-skating area right after Thanksgiving! I've wanted to see a Christmas market, and it's not likely I'll get to go to Europe to see one, so this has me excited---and Mr. would like to see it too. Looking forward to seeing it when it opens!

How wonderful Merry! I always look forward to our Christmas Market every year along with the ice skating they set up nearby. I hope you will enjoy it and they do a good job recreating the experience.

Usually in the first part of October, but it does not last long. Though I have seen it fall as early as late September. Depends on how the jet stream is dipping from Canada.

Sounds pretty close to our weather, we are just a tad later- at times starting toward the end of October.

To any of you I may have missed... A Very Good Morning! Things here are rolling along as usual. Nothing really exciting, but then no complaints either and I can live with that.
I put some battery operated light on a couple of pine trees my wife got from Hobby Lobby. They have a timer, so that helps save the battery life. Then add a few miniature ornaments plus some snowbirds and... Christmas is comig to life in the dining room area.
Getting closer to those double digits. Have a wonderful and safe day!

Yep...like 2 years ago when it started October 31st & snowed forever & was the coldest winter EVER!!! (or so it seemed) LOL

I don't want a repeat of that.

 

[snowflake22]

I can imagine, especially with good old Lambeau field up there. Ready for our two teams to clash on Sunday night?

 

[Holiday]

I don't want a repeat of that.

Agreed!

Just a question that passed through my mind. Do any of you ever get a little emotional when certain Christmas Carols are played and you listen to them quietly and very intently?

I sure am! You?

 

[CGYager]

I sure am! You?

Yes. I will admit to giving your team a slight edge, due to your QB and the fact that you are rooting for them... lol

This one, especially:



I guess it's not actually a carol, though. How does a Christmas song become a Christmas carol?

 

[snowflake22]

Yes. I will admit to giving your team a slight edge, due to your QB and the fact that you are rooting for them... lol

Ha! Thank you.
Yes, Rodgers is amazing.
It will be a great rivalry game!

This one, especially:

That one gets me too. Though I am more use to it being performed by Harry Belafonte.

 

[Edge612]

Yeah we've had chilly Memorial Days before and HOT Easters. Never know.

 

[Ladybugkisses]

I'm glad things are going well for you and your girls, LBK! It's such a shame that we have to be on guard for shoplifters so much. I can't imagine enjoying something that I'd stolen.

Amen to that Brad! But that's the world we live in today.

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's going to be a humid day here with some rain around this afternoon. I still have the rental car until tomorrow evening so I plan on doing some more running around today. Yesterday we ran back over to the Ohio border to a Amish grocery store. There were a few things we didn't get in PA that they carry. Today I'm going to stay closer to home and just head to the south side of Indy. There's a few discount stores that I keep seeing ads for that I want to check out. I also need to go to the grocery. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!

Don't you just love the Amish grocery stores?
Have a great day made! Hope you get all your running done, stay cool, & dry!
