I know she'll love it!
It's great to be around so many like-minded folks! And we don't have to wait for Christmas. We have Christmas in July, then the "Ber's (September, October, November & December)! I start really getting in the spirit in September, even though is still hot here in the south), so I only have 8 months to go!
We're glad you're here with us!
Every time I see your username, I'm reminded of that Christmas movie that I hope gets made someday!
LOL ... you showed me that last year .. still just as amazing.
LOL! I thought we talked about it before. Good to see you!
Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!
It's finally cold in the south! It's been down in the 20's and 30's for a couple days. Of course, it's supposed to be nearly 80°F on Thursday. Oh, well. Winter was fun while it lasted LOL!
We had chili Saturday night, and it really hit the spot. I'm hoping to make a pot of homemade soup tonight, trying to get some more savory food in me before spring arrives later this week.
I hope y'all have a great day!
Yep-we're going from 0 to upper 60s. Ah, winter in the mid-Atlantic... Hope you have a good evening Bmac!
Good morning MMC! Merry Monday!!! (it sure is Monday!) I could have stayed in bed a couple more hours this morning, for sure! And Brrrrrr, it's cold outside!!! But not as cold as the weekend...still Brrrr!!My little heater is my friend this morning!!
I had a visit from a cardinal Saturday. It was so pretty in the snow!! I had just texted my family to see what our plan was for visiting mom on Saturday - and just like that - there it was! "Hello Dad or Mike"They are beautiful birds. Of course I didn't have my phone in my hand anymore...I didn't get a pic until after he flew from right outside the window to our pine tree.

How exciting!!! Feeling the spirit already!!
good to see you as well!
Good evening all.
Well, today is Monday. Not a bad day today, just...Monday. I always feel like Tuesdays are worse than Mondays. You know Monday is coming, you kinda prepare for it. But Tuesday! It's not Monday, it kinda sneaks up on you. It is sooo far from the weekend, and you are extra tried because of Monday. Of course, then there is Wednesday, you ca see the end is near. Thursday, you can make it. Friday, you are practically done. But Tuesday....
In the weather world... we are expecting a little freezing rain tonight. Then a major warmup and then the potential for a major ice event this weekend. I am not a fan of the ice really. I would prefer snow and lots of it!

The only thing that is getting me through this boring January is the NFL playoffs! Thankfully I have football to distract me from the fact that the holidays are over! I think I will make it a goal to work on making some new Christmas ornaments for yet another tree I can put up this coming season (my husband says I put up too many as it is but I don't think you can ever have too many Christmas trees!) That way, I can take my time on the ornaments but still do something Christmas all year! Because when the super bowl is over, the year drags for me until September.
Well I just got home from work. Took the long route again, and as expected, less houses than last night still had lights up. I imagine the majority of people were waiting until today to finally take them down. But about a dozen or so had their lights up, including a few homes still completely decorated.
And to my delight, I came home, and Sounds of the Season Holiday is still playing. So I'm just going to spend the evening relaxing and listening to it until it ends. I've never actually seen the transition take place so I guess that will be a first. Then it becomes the dreaded Pulse music(I only say dreaded because it takes the place of the Holiday music).
Plus Disneyland is in the final night of their Festival of Holidays, so dang it if Disney still says it's the holidays then it's still the holidays!
Anyhow, I guess tomorrow comes that point where I have to start nudging myself a bit into getting over the season. That usually lasts another week, usually due to that panic feeling that comes each day over having to let it go, where I then end up going back to Christmas mode because of it. But at least I'm making those efforts to let it go, which then at some point leads to actually being able to finally let it go without any reservations. I hope that doesn't make me seem like too much of a weirdo.
I am coming to the realization that it is over, I am holding on to my Christmas music on my phone only because I know it will be nearly 10 whole months until it will be socially acceptable to listen to Christmas music full time. I love it so much., but the writing is on the wall for me to make that switch. I think I will be taking my trees down on MLK day, my day off after next weekend.
Thank you!
