Christmas Countdown - 2016

[CGYager]

Good Monday Morning MMC!!!

I've been MIA for the last 2 weeks and I've missed you all. The girls and I have just been so busy with day to day and church activities that I don't know if I'm coming or going. And it doesn't look like it's going to slow down anytime soon. Lizzybeth has candy-paloza at church where all the master club kids come dressed as their favorite sweet treat. Lizzybeth is going as a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans. I've got to finish that tonight because I have a DATE tomorrow evening!!! That's right folks I've been asked out by a young man who I met on Match almost 3 weeks ago. Wish me luck.

This weekend is my friend Erin's wedding and after am service on Sunday our church is doing a trunk or treat that afternoon and we're participating in that of course. Not to mention Halloween itself on Monday.

I hope all has been well where ever you all are and you're enjoying this wonderful fall weather. Stay blessed.

Morning LadyBugKisses. Busy does not sound like the half of it for you. Congrats on your upcoming date night and I certainly wish and pray that it is an enjoyable one.
Have fun with the Trunk or Treat. I will be doing much of the same this Friday - Sunday for our local "Zoo Boo". Enjoy the day (especially tomorrow night) and the remainder of the week. Oh and try to put your feet up for just a few moments sometime this week as well... take care.

LOL... no, my pick is already locked in.

I took the Texans getting the TD.

Hello all, hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

 

[Bradmac]

Sad and gruesome episode!

Agreed. I think I'm through with The Walking Dead after that one.

 

[CGYager]

Hello all, hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

Happy Monday to you Frosty and I trust your day and week will go in the direction you hope for as well.

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

We had a whirlwind trip to the mountains, and it was perfect! The weather was crisp, the leaves were orange and yellow and red, the decorations were awesome...it was just as good as I wanted it to be! We drove up Friday evening, and got home about 6pm yesterday, and it was SO worth it. LOL

Let me see if I can attach a couple of pictures. I hope y'all have a great day!

We bought several pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. They were sorted by size ($1 for small, $2 for medium, and $4 for large!), and there was a lockbox for you to put your money in. The honor system! I love it!

Lulu enjoyed it, too!

Greetings Bradmac. Sounds like a memorable weekend for you and yours. I'm glad you could make it happen. Welcome back to the last week in October and have a really nice day.

Two months from today is my favorite day of the year! It's hard to believe that it's so close.

DH got into the Christmas spirit this weekend! We were at Home Depot to order new shutters for our house.....; We did that & bought a Christmas tree that has both multi & clear lights & a remote control, a train that attaches to the tree trunk and goes up and around the tree, two different kaleidoscope lights & a projector that has Halloween, Christmas & New Year scenes with sound on it. I told DH I was going to do Hallmark ornaments on the main tree this year and he said I can do multi-color lights with it. In 23 years, we've always done clear lights but I love multi!!

So I have a small Facebook page for myself mostly I like to post Christmas ads old and new because I enjoy them . Today was the first time I was attacked for it .... Too early for it blah blah blah as well as some other comments
Definitely not used to that .. Oh well not dampening my enjoyment of it I don't make anyone look at it .

Sorry you had to deal with this. I follow a few Christmas pages on FB and over the summer a father commented to me to "stop liking pictures" because it was too early...ugh!

Good evening ~
Been fighting a migraine all day, it's still lingering. I'm going to turn in and try to get some rest. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I'll catch up here tomorrow.
See you in the morning ~
Goodnight <3

Hope you are feeling better today.

Merry Morning.

I woke up from a nightmare this morning. It was suddenly Halloween night and the kids had no costumes, there was no candy in and we hadn't carved any pumpkins! I was relieved when I woke up. lol !!! Next I will prob start having the Christmas one similar to this. lol

The city looked so wonderful yesterday with all the trees decorated for Halloween along the streets. When they come down they will be replaced with Christmas! A couple of shops have their front window displays all Christmas now! It made me smile walking past. Also our trees are up at work!! They are not lit yet though. They will be lit on the same day as the City's Grand Christmas lights switch.

I am looking forward to a Halloweek of fun with the kids.
Hard to believe we are in the last week of October ... we were only just welcoming it...

Hope you have a great day Festive!

Top Of The Morning to all my MMC Friends:
This weekend was about one hour long or so it seemed. So much to do and the time was here and gone before I had a chance to even turn around. Luckily, I still have today off. I will spend part of it removing the lovely blanket of color that has spread across my lawn. Also a couple of errands to run. I think that I will BBQ for the wife and daughter tonight and perhaps some corn on the cob and baked potatoes.
My computer is back up and running. Now all that is left is to reload all the music. I hope that you all have a beautiful day filled with lasting memories that will warm your quiet moments.
Here is a bit of Halloween fun...

Have a good day, Snowflake!

@HomemakinGirl , here is the vintage Santa salt & pepper set I picked up over the weekend

Love this set!!

Good Morning.

Another new week!
Another step closer to our goals.

And to check on our progress, we present today's numbers:
Days to Halloween: 7 (ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!)
Days to the Season: 20 (Now UNDER three weeks left!)
Days to Christmas Day: 62 (Two months and ONE day remain!)

Yes, Folks. Two months from today, it will be Christmas Eve, with all of its magic!


A bit warmer yesterday, but it was still on the cool side, requiring a light jacket.
Today should be pleasantly warm with highs in the mid-70's and no precip.
At this time, our back door thermometer shows 53 degrees under clear skies.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody.
And I hope this last full week of October is off to a great start for each and every one of you!

Thanks Crown!!

Good Morning Whitney. So any room left on the Credit Card? lol
Seriously it sound like you guys are really getting into it and that always brings a smile to my face. And with the exception of icicle lights... I am a multi-type of guy myself.
Have a great time setting it up and an even better week.

Merry Monday! My daughter's homecoming dance was fun and we survived the sleepover! I cannot believe in 2 months is Christmas Eve. I am going to put on some Christmas music to celebrate. Have a goo day!

Happy Monday to you SnowflakeMom. Looking forward to dinner and now that my better half it up, we are going to catch up on some DVR TV shows, then run a few errands and come back for a relaxing afternoon/evening.
I hope all is well with you and yours and that this day and week brings you lots of happiness.

Good Monday Morning MMC! Happy Halloweek. Hard to believe that it's 2 months till the best day of the year Christmas Eve! Doesn't seem possible. I feel like we're running out of weeks before the holidays. Had fun at my Uncle's last night. It was a good show and good food. Back to a full work week now and looking forward to Halloween weekend all week long. Nice morning here and hoping that it's a good week for all of you.
Have a good Monday!

Have a great day Edge!!

Wow! I haven't seen a tree with a train that goes up and down! I'll have to look for that!

Good morning MMC! "Happy" Monday! I stayed with Mom last night so was late coming in to work this morning. It was such a nice cozy morning...hard to come in. Ah well - here I am!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm off to TRY to catch up on posts - we'll see how that goes!
Oh - I was SO happy this morning to see "4 days until Countdown To Christmas" on the Hallmark Channel this morning. How exciting it that???

Everyone, have a GREAT MONday!

 

[Edge612]

Hello all, hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

Happy Monday Frosty!

 

[Edge612]

Agreed. I think I'm through with The Walking Dead after that one.

I loved the intensity...was on the "edge" of my seat (no pun intended) but I was shocked they showed as much of the gruesomeness as they did. I would have thought they showed a little of it and leave the rest up to your imagination.

It's hard to believe that 2 months from today is Christmas Eve. Glad your daughter had fun and you survived the sleepover.

Evening everyone and a happy Friday. Two days off work await for me and we're heading to a food fair tomorrow morning (yeah!). Hopefully they'll have some Christmas items for sale.

Hope you had a great time at the food fair & nice days off!!
