Christmas Countdown - 2017

[MerryCarey]

Thats the website I saved, couldnt find a download for the pattern. I found that today and almost fell off the couch.

Looks like the download is available only with a donation ... but you can still print out the web page, the pattern is given there. Or save the web page as a PDF.

Happy Cyber Monday MMC! That was one heck of a week wasn't it? As I have said a few times now in a few threads that's the best week of the year. But not to look back we have some pretty amazing and some of the best days ahead of us. Got most of my Christmas shopping done. Feel like I had a month off work. Better get back into the grind today. Anyone see Rudolph is on Tuesday? Have a great Cyber Monday!

Well, tree is up!! Slade has been listened to, and National Lampoons was watched The Mrs baked rudolf-shaped biscuits, and we generally sat around trying to get over the flu.

.. unfortunately i was unable to defend my "title" in my sporting event on saturday, but that's no big deal - martial arts while sick is NOT recommended!

2/3 obstacles overcome - one more now (i think), and then the gloves are off for chrimmbooooo!

Got some lovely Celtic Christmas songs on atm:



Hope all have a great week, and don't do all yer dosh in one place on Cyber Monday!

I want to live in that town so bad, i'd accept the downside of saying "Beetlejuice" three times, just to shrink.

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Monday!
My husband heads back to work today after a four day weekend. Back to my regular routine, typical day of errands and chores. I didn’t get to do any Black Friday shopping so I’m going to see if I can find some good Cyber Monday deals.
I hope everyone is well and has a great week ahead!

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 15 **


Good Morning, Friends.
And thus we begin week THREE of Christmas Season 2017.
(Remarkable that we have advanced this far into the Season already, isn't it?)

Our remaining count:
Days to Christmas Day: 28 (FOUR WEEKS from TODAY!)

(You read that right -- FOUR weeks!)


It was a little chilly here yesterday, but sunny and calm.
We should be into the 60's now for the next several days, for afternoon highs.
Starting off a bit chilly though, at a frosty 33 degrees here this morning.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks!

Good morning MMC!! Merry Monday after Thanksgiving. (Where did those 4 days off work go???)

We had a nice Thanksgiving with both sides of the family. Just too much food for 1 day!!! Busy day! I stayed with Mom Thanksgiving night. I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving weekend!

My friend decided she didn't want to go Black Friday shopping so I went myself. I was going to stop at the Winery then head to Walmart & Menards. The winery premiered a "new" wine - they made it this summer & it was a huge hit - so they made it again in limited quantity & changed the name to a Christmassy wine. Anyway, I got there & the place was jam packed! I stood in line 1 hour & 5 minutes! My friends better appreciate their bottle of Christmas wine they are getting for a gift. Ha ha!! It was past noon til I got out of there & the Menards deals were over, so I dropped off the wine my sis wanted me to get for her & went home. It was an absolutely beautiful day, so I ended up making 11 batches of peanut brittle!! It was a great day for it - turned out well! I was too pooped to put up my Christmas things after that. Saturday was the OSU/Michigan game! Watched that & then Christmas movies after - just chilled. Yesterday I took down all my Thanksgiving, cleaned & started putting up Christmas. I have a ways to go yet. I'll work on it more tonight. We went out for Mexican with my sis/BIL last night ... and here we are ... Monday again!

Everyone have a Merry Monday!

Yes! I got home about 1 p.m. I got the front room tree set up and the lights strung on it, and set up the little tree in the TV room. They’re not decorated yet, but they’re all ready. I’m tired now and relaxing with a cup of “Christmas in Paris” herbal tea.

I hope you enjoyed your long weekend!!

To me the parade coming on at 9AM Eastern is the sign that everything has changed and it's the holiday season. It's very special.

Santa was looking dapper again this year!

 

[MerryCarey]

I hope you enjoyed your long weekend!!

Thank you, I did! It was busy and tiring, but still a great long weekend.

Been busy today...first, I took advantage of the nearly 60° weather (in Wisconsin even!!) and did this at our church:

Midnight? Amateurs!!! We started at 4:30 Thanksgiving morning. Lol!!! Took a break to eat and were back out by 5pm. Slept a few hours and then headed back out yesterday. I could have been done by noon but decided to take my nieces out shopping for their mother and each other. Bad move. I called it quits at 7 last night.

You be crazy!!!
