Good morning MMC! Merry Monday! What a weekend! My brother from Cape Cod flew in Saturday morning & surprised us! He called my sis & said he was in PA & would need picked up at the airport in a couple hours. SO FUN!! I went shopping with the girls Saturday morning, then out for lunch. Then to my future nieces bridal shower...watched the Buckeyes then off to my nieces for an impromptu party with the family. Yesterday my brother took lots of nieces/nephews up for plane rides & my other brother had everybody over for a cook out, including my cousins who are cleaning out my uncles house which is in the same neighborhood as my mom & brother (My uncle is in a nursing home & my nephew/wife are going to rent his house) - what a fun house full! This morning my Cape Cod brother, mom & I took off to pick up Emma - She was SO SURPRISED to see him! We then dropped him off at the airport on the way home & he had to head back! Always sad to say goodbye, but he'll be back in 3 weeks for my nephews wedding! :) 2 of my sisters, my brother, SIL & 2 of their grandkids were there this morning to see him off. What a fun morning - it was hard to come to work...but here I am! And now I have some catching up to do both at work & here on MMC! Looking forward to reading the last special posts!!

Everyone, have a GREAT Monday!

YAY!!!! -merry-
I made it through the countdown to the minute messages. It was exciting reading them, even now - 39 hours later!!
-merry--merry--merry--merry--merry-
 
Good evening, everyone!

I am at Russell today. It was a sunny and chilly morning, but it's really tuned into a beautiful mid-Novemeber Day. Temperatures have reached into the double digits (55f). It should be above seasonal for the rest of the week, too, which is pretty awesome!

Not much is happening today. School is over shortly. I am going to the gym afterwards, and then, taking it easy for the rest of the night. It certainly will be real nice taking it easy while being surrounded by Christmas decorations, and of course, my Tree.

I hope everyone has enjoyed their first two days of the Christmas Season. What a wonderful time of the year! Merry Christmas!

good morning all y´all!
watching Midsomer Murders right now and chilling with Kandice and the furbabies......checking for christmas presents....the one I was looking for, for Kandice (the Nintendo Classic Mini) has just been released on the 11th....and is sold out everywhere......It seems Nintendo didn´t really expect the people to go bonkers over a new edition of their first console with 30 preinstalled games.....because noone knows when they will be available again. so now I am thinking about what to get for her and browsing the net.

Merry Christmas Season MMC! Hard to believe but it's HERE! It's begun as they say. I didn't make it to midnight but was in and out a few times. Glad to see everyone had fun when they could be here. Well now it's real so let's enjoy it. I've got some food shopping to do today. TWD big episode tonight and to start off the Christmas season I'm going to put on my favorite Christmas show ever...Rudolph. Great way to ring it in.
Have a great first day of the Christmas season!

Hey - Friday night I watched Garfield Halloween, Thanksgiving & then Christmas. Then I finally watched The Great Pumpkin. Maybe tonight I'll watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. :)

Some Day One Thoughts:

Well, another fantastic Season count has been completed.
The Special Post series has inspired us.
Last night's real time count entertained us and drew us closer together.
And the final run to Christmas Day has commenced.
(It doesn't get any better than this, Folks. It really doesn't.)

We come here year after year for camaraderie, fun and a commonality of interest within the warm and beloved framework that is Christmas. This dependability is clearly important to us all. A tradition we feel compelled to uphold for all of our sakes. And thank goodness for that!

Thank you so much for counting down with us for yet another year and for the optimism I know will guide us forward here for many years to come.

Now on to Christmas, dear Friends.
Enjoy the next 50 days of Christmas Season 2016 to the fullest and celebrate in style!

Thank you for doing such an amazing job keeping the count going, day after day! Much appreciated! :)

Merry Christmas season, everyone!

Now that the season is here, I made my annual Christmas trip to the garden center. So much gorgeous Christmas stuff, but no place to put more at home, so I just enjoy it there. Couldn't resist buying a smiling Santa mug, though.

Another sign the season is here: I have 27 hand-crocheted warm winter hats to send to Friends of Boston Homeless this year. I make them throughout the summer and fall, when it's to hot to work on afghans, and save them in a pop-up laundry bin. I'm about to pack them up so I can send them out this week. I like to get them in FOBH's hands before Thanksgiving.

And yet another sign of the season: the piano tuner will be here on Saturday for her annual visit to tune up my spinet that I've had since I was 8. I can't play worth a darn anymore, but I can't resist stumbling through some Christmas tunes this time of year.

My head is spinning. It's Christmastime!

What a thoughtful thing for you to do with all your crochet goodness! :)
 
I just checked Gameboys on ebay.....wow....brings me back to my childhood....it took me months to save up the money for it....and I was so proud when i bought it......it worked perfectly for more than 10 years.....unfortunately....idiotic me forgot to swith batteries and batteryacid got into it....and it broke :(( ..........I´m too greedy to buy a new one tho...lol.
so I now wanted to check for Super Nintendo Games....but now ebay messes with my nerves

Merry Monday, MMC!

What a busy three days! Went all over southeast MI looking for store stock and came across Canterbury Village along the way. There is a year-round Christmas shop there that I had to go through ~ such fun! The grounds were being decorated for the holidays while we were there ~ would love to go back and see it at night when all the lights are on. Must be magical!

Saw the super moon last night ~ awesome!!

Work on tap for today. Should be fun!

Have a blessed week, friends!!

Good Monday morning! I had dreams about work last night, weird dreams about a snow blizzard while at work and snow coming into the store. Hate dreaming about work more than I hate dreaming about a snow blizzard. I'll do some online Christmas shopping today. Got to get some things done, time is going by so fast! Have a fantastic day everyone!

Oh no! I hope if you are stranded in a blizzard, you are safe & sound & warm at home! (not at work!) ;)
Hope you're having a great day!

Good evening ~
My husband and I stopped at Michael's today to look at the Christmas trees. We ended up getting a new one and put it up when we got home. I'm going to hold off on the other trees until after Thanksgiving. The new one will be for my Hallmark ornaments, I'm going to decorate it tomorrow. Can't wait!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I'll see you in the morning!
Here's a picture of the new tree ~

A Merry Magnificent Monday to the MMC community. Got nothing done yesterday, so I have to make up for that today. Pumpkin bread is baking for my visit to a dear friend just over an hour from now. Then some more yard clean up and going through more Christmas items.
I think I'll make it easy for dinner tonight and just place the roast, potatoes, onion and carrots in the same container and just let it all cook together. That way all I'll have to do at the end is make gravy and dinner will be ready.
For those of us here, we have a mere eleven days until Thanksgiving. Making up the food & treat list (and checking it twice :)) so I have very few trips that week. I will be off from Sunday until Friday mid-shift.
Not much else going on right now.
Have a fun day and a miraculous holiday season...
