** CHRISTMAS SEASON 2016 DAY 7 **


Good Morning, Everyone.
And Wow! We have almost completed a full week of Christmas Season 2016!
How is that possible?

For that matter, how is THIS possible:
Days to Thanksgiving Day: 5 (So close, I can almost taste the cranberry sauce!!)
Days to Christmas Day: 36 (Five weeks from tomorrow!)
The year is just racing away, Folks. Better start finalizing those Thanksgiving plans.
(For that matter, better start finalizing those CHRISTMAS plans!)


Perfect weather for mid November in these parts. Temps in the low 70's, gentle breezes, lots of beautiful sun and no precipitation whatsoever.
And what's more, those conditions will continue today for our downtown Raleigh Christmas Parade.
But buyer beware! Tomorrow will be a very different story and by tomorrow night we will be experiencing sub-freezing conditions.
BRRRRRR!!
Right now, we are at a cool 50 degrees here but it will warm up quickly by this afternoon.


Have a Sensational Saturday, Comrades.
And may you experience the majesty of the Christmas Season today, wherever your travels may take you!

Should be great weather. Temp 44 with light rain about 40 miles west of you but will clear off later today. Sorry to hear about your aunt. Tough time of year to lose someone. Enjoy Elizabeth's birthday weekend.
 
Hi everybody! I made it home safe. Now I have 10 days off!!! Something exciting about Christmas for me is that I live in the Christmas Capitol of Texas!! So it is absolutely amazing here for the season!! I am going to the Tree Lighting downtown Monday! They will turn all the lights on in the city that night too. It's is going to be so awesome. Every building and sign and post are decorated! The stores go Christmas themed, it's amazing!!
 
Good Morning ... Well we are in the home stretch for Thanksgiving :) heading to the grocery store this weekend to get the rest of the goodies needed for Thanksgiving. This afternoon we are pulling down the outside Christmas decorations from the attic so we can test the lights and make sure everything is ready to out up next weekend. Plus with all the new stuff we bought last year after Christmas we need too figure out our game plan for decorating this year.

All week I have noticed more and more houses with Christmas lights being strung up. Already saw a couple house fully decorated lit up the other night. Radio stations here flipped over to Christmas music the other day too ...

No Christmas music on the radio stations yet but definitely more and more houses decorated for Christmas. Hope you're having a nice weekend so far.

I love the Jamie Oliver Christmas cooking specials.

I live for the Jamie Oliver Christmas specials, I'll watch them whenever they're on even if it's the 20th time I've seen them and even if I won't do the actual recipes (but I should because they look so good). In fact it was playing last night and I enjoyed every second of it.
 
Hello MMC friends,
I always love reading the threads at this time of year to see what everybody's up to !

I have my humble but beautiful little Christmas tree up now, it's so relaxing to watch the blinking lights...

Wishing everybody a fantastic weekend

I found an incredible shop with amazing rare merry treasures with a rustic flair. I fell in love with everything I saw. Only left with 4 items, but I'll be back once I figure out which ones will go to which person on my list.
Printed my photos for my Christmas cards and picked up stamps; hopefully I'll get started on those tomorrow, but surely next weekend.
Settling down with O'Malley - looking for a Christmas movie to watch.
Had my best meatloaf ever tonight for dinner with purple sweet potatoes and corn. MMMM.
It's raining here now and we're expecting snow tomorrow.
I'll give it another week or two and then take an evening drive to grab some outdoor decoration shots.

Stay jolly! -reindeer-
 
I hope you're having a Christmas-seasony day!

It has been a busy Saturday. The piano tuner was here, so my little spinet is now up to Christmas pitch! Hooray! Then had to do some housework, then out to get my hair cut, then to the garden center for some C7 light strings and other sundries (and another look around!), then back home, where we met our neighbor who is going to rebuild our deck for us, then we got ready to go out for some lunch ... just then one of my back crowns popped out, so I had to call my dentist and arrange to see her first thing Monday to stick it back in ... then out to lunch, then shopping at various stores, then back home. I'm now trying to make some Baby Ruth cookies for our office Thanksgiving, which is Monday, but they aren't turning out very well. I may have to bake some chocolate chip cookies tomorrow to have something good enough to take in. I KNOW I can make chocolate chip cookies successfully. Whew!

Update: The Baby Ruth cookies are a fail ... big blobs of baked, melted caramel oozed out of the cookies and made them very ugly and unevenly baked. So I pre-measured the dry ingredients for a big batch of chocolate chip cookies, and I'll tackle those tomorrow. Time to sit down for a while.
