Christmas Countdown - 2017

[CGYager]

Happy Sunday morning MMC! What beautiful special posts! Thankyou!

a very chilled Sunday here for us, all the school and work clothes all washed and ironed and the tea is cooking away in the slow cooker. I think a bit of online xmas shopping is in store for me! The girls are sat painting pictures.

I hope you all have a great day! The season is almost upon us!

Happy Sunday afternoon Claire. Sounds like you have things under control and perhaps time for you to kick back a hair. 1st day off for me and as usual unable to sleep after getting off at 7AM this morning. Oh well, we'll see how long I can make it today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend...

I tried to sleep a little bit later today....hoping to stockpile enough z's for tonight. Hopefully, it worked.

16 more hours until the season arrives.

Howdy Ballcoach. Unfortunately with my being unable to sleep thus far, I'm certain that come midnight I'll be checking the insides of my eyelids. Have a fun day and hope you make it...

Good afternoon MMC. Hope you are all well

Greetings Irish and I trust things are going well for you and yours on that side of the pond. Have a great evening...

Good Sunday morning! We got grocery shopping out of the way and soon we'll be heading out for lunch and then we're going to see Thor Ragnarok. It will be a fun last afternoon of vacation. Hope everyone enjoys counting down to the start of the season!

Hi there Martine. An afternoon at the movies sounds like a nice way to end the vacation. Hopefully you got some rest as well enjoy the evening...

Good afternoon everyone. Another week under my belt and as per the norm. I could not get to sleep on this my first day off. Oh well, I'm sure the Sandman will be visiting at some point today/tonight. Going to be in the mid forties today and the 50's for the next three. Looks like a good day to set more of the front yard.
For now, week #10 of the NFL has my attention with some very weird games thus far. But they all have more than a quarter to go, so we shall see. Not much else going on except to clean up my office/den a bit and then get ready for evening church service. Have a nice day all and...

Greeting Edge. Glad to hear that you are back to your usual self. I can appreciate the MMC version of the start of the season, but for me it will always be the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Have a fun Sunday...

I look at as different stages CG. November 1 is kind of a big turning point and then Nov 13th MMC season starts and Thanksgiving Morning I look at as everyone else acknowledges it...then there's December 1 for 25 days of Christmas starting.

Thank you!

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. Last night my husband and I worked on our outdoor lights. We are making several tomato cage Christmas trees for the yard (something we were supposed to work on over the summer but we are procrastinators!) and I am hoping to put the rest out this evening! I have a crock pot of chili slow cooking for this cold Sunday afternoon. Hope everyone has a great day!

I downloaded it for myself, too!

I was thinking of a different color..a 2 tone would be great. Darker green outside each leaf and lighter green inside.

Merry Evening
Haven't long got in from work. Enjoying a cosy night in front of the fire. We are having an arctic blast. Below freezing tonight with hard frost by morning. It's bitter.

Under 8 hours left until Christmas Season 2017 commences!

The great thing is, you can use any colors you like! Take pictures if you have one on your tree.

Think tonight I will sit down and start working on a thorough gift list and Holiday TV schedule

 

[Crown 84]

6 3/4 hours left to go!

 

[Binger]

Five hours and some change.

 

[Binger]

What to brew to stay up late. Hmmmmmmmm

 

[Crown 84]

Hi, Bing!
A little over 5 3/4 hours to go.
(And I've got the music ready!)

 

[Christmasplease]

I’m going to try to stay awake!

 

[ILoveHolidays924]

She's lucky she's cute!! We're getting the real tree next Friday and I just hope she stays away from that one! (Yea right! Haha!)

I wish I could countdown with everyone tonight. I will be here in spirit, and via significant other. Kim will be posting throughout the night. She's excited to experience her first countdown with you, friends.

Have a wonderful time and I hope I make it home before the clock strikes the Christmas Season!
