Happy Monday afternoon ... can't believe its a week from Halloween already!!! The temps are more seasonable, did a good amount of cooking and baking over the weekend. The excitement for the holidays is building even more. My son even turned on some Christmas music over the weekend! Absolutely LOVE this time of the year!!!

Sounds like a great weekend! Hope you're having a good Monday!

You can see them from a mile away, so fun!

That's awesome!!!!

Me too (even when he makes a mess).

But he's too cute & too much fun to get mad at.

 

[Holiday]

Everyone, have a Merry Monday evening!!! 4 days until Christmas on Hallmark.... 2 months until Christmas Eve. It's getting exciting!!!

Is that with John Turturro?
It sounds familiar, I think I watched it back when I worked at a video store.

Yes! John Turturro, Mel Smith, and Bob Nelson, plus Nancy Marchand as the faux Margaret Dumont. It's a blast!

But he's too cute & too much fun to get mad at.

I think that's why he knows he can get away with it!

Hope you had a nice & stress free weekend!!! xx
I forgot to tell you - I had never done anything with the starts that Jackie had set inside her Christmas Cactus - I realized last week - even her starts are blooming!!!

Wow! Look at that Li'l Jackie bloom!
Still no buds starting on Laura, but she often doesn't get going until mid-November.
I trimmed a couple of "starters" recently and put them in a jar of water to start roots. When they do, I may pot them and bring them to work for anyone who wants them.

I don't think I have heard "Straight No Chaser" - I will have to look them up. Most of my favorite Christmas cd's are Country singers (except for the classics, of course) And of course Kenny G & Josh Groban...

Straight No Chaser a ten-man a cappella group that has been around since about 2008. A video they made in college went viral on YouTube, and Atlantic Records convinced them to get back together so they could sign them to a contract. They've done three Christmas albums and a few other albums, and have been featured in a couple of PBS specials.

In our Christmas music collection, what don't we have! It's a real mishmash of a little bit of everything. I really love the traditional stuff especially---big lush orchestras and choirs.

Merry Monday and Happy New Week!

It was slammin' busy at the office until about 3:30. There's a big client meeting going on, so there's a little quiet space that allows me to sneak in here and catch up on the posts. Can't believe there was a weekend---I'm more tired than usual today for no good reason. Counting down to my Friday off!

Greetings Prancer. Always nice when the work day is finally finished. Dinner sounds good. I am going to BBQ for the family (Filet for the wife, Chicken breast for the daughter and Ball Tip Steaks for me), along with baked potatoes and corn.
Have a great day and a nice week...

whoaaaaa 21 days til the season starts.....friggin crazy!!!!

Anybody started to decorate already? I mean outside decorations......I understand it takes some time to complete those great displays.......I wish I could have outside decorations.......but firstly.....I have no outlets outside...and secondly....our electricity is so expensive...I guess I´d pay half a fortune

Nothing outside yet, but that is due to Halloween currently in the yard, followed by a large inflatable turkey. But come the Friday after Thanksgiving... yes.. it all goes up.
Have some outlets up front and the rest by outside extension cords from the back yard.
Enjoy the day.

 

[snowflake22]

[snowflake22]

We have finished watching the TV Show...I was wrong....Marco finds his Mama...she is sick....but won´t die......I am so so so happy!!!

Glad it was a happier ending, T~

 

[snowflake22]

I know! Can't wait!
Crazy to think I'll be taking my Halloween decorations, and some autumn down next week! Christmas decorating is soon after!!

Thank you, Holiday! Santa's face is so sweet!
