Christmas Countdown - 2017

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 20 **

Good Morning, Friends.
Welcome to Christmas 2017 Season Day 20.
(Wow. We are so moving through the Season. Before you know it, Christmas Day will be here.)

Speaking of that:
Days to Christmas Day: 23 (Three weeks from the day after tomorrow!)

Still the nice-for-late-fall weather continues. I have no complaints with the temperatures, sun or lack of rain. Everything in perfect balance!
It will be cooler today but still nice for early December.
Our present temperature is 48 degrees.

Well, we are off this morning to get our Christmas tree and eat lunch at Logan's Trading Post where I KNOW there will be photo ops for the Blossoms thread!

Have a Sensationally Seasonal Saturday, Folks!

Morning MMC! It's a December Weekend! Not much better than that is there? Looks like I'll do some Christmas shopping today, finish up my lights (will post a pic) and some errands. Pretty busy but a normal Saturday just with extra fun Christmas shopping involved. I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Good morning ~
Happy Saturday!
I’m heading out soon to do some food shopping. Back home afterward to work on some chores around the house. My husband and I will be attending an anniversary party later this evening. That’s about it it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd log back on (after having been away for aaaaaages) and say merry Christmas and share a pic or two from my walk to the office the other week here in Stockholm, Sweden. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Hello all!
It is amazing that is December 2nd already. I guess that happens when you stay busy.

The weather has been relatively warm so far, but that is going to change this week. Temps are suppose to drop into the 30s and 20s by week's end. I just hope the cold brings some snow too! I am ready for lots of snow. Last winter was a disappointment in the snow department. I hope we make up for it this year.

I hope everyone is having a good start to December. Though I am sure everyone will be busy, remember to take some time and relax and enjoy family and friend time. Bake cookies, drink eggnog and watch some wonderful Christmas movies!

I am quite jealous of the snow. Please send some my way! :snowball

What pretty pictures. Thank you for sharing.

Good Saturday evening! Went to bed past 12:30am last night, after picking up my husband from his work Christmas party. That is VERY late for me. I took a half hour nap this afternoon and went on about my day. Tonight we'll be watching Krampus, as I try to keep my tradition of watching one Christmas movie/special per day in December. But I definitely won't be going to bed late, as I have to be in to work at 6am tomorrow. Hope everyone is enjoying a great weekend!

Edge612 · Dec 3, 2017

Morning MMC! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I'm going to the mall today to try to finish my Christmas shopping. If not then I will finish Wednesday as I took the day off to break up the week and finish some Christmas stuff. Next weekend I'll begin wrapping gifts. Have a great Sunday!

Iteachpercussion · Dec 3, 2017

Good morning. We put up the last Christmas tree in the house last night. That tree, along with a few other decorations, goes in our bedroom.
I have a thesis proposal to write today, and then I can watch my Browns lose again.

Today is another warmish day here in Ohio. I am looking forward to the temperature drop mid-week.

I hope everyone has a great and wonderful Sunday!

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 21 **

Good Morning, Christmas Day Anticipators!
(And the anticipation just keeps growing as we draw nigh to the Big Day.)

Can you believe? After today, THREE WEEKS of Christmas Season 2017 will have been completed.
(Wowzers!)

Today's count:
Days to Christmas Day: 22 (Three weeks from TOMORROW!)

The weather took a somewhat chilly turn yesterday and we had rain in the late morning.
But no matter. We got our Christmas tree (frazier fir) and our usual annual poinsettia at Logan's Trading Co. where we ate lunch at the Seaboard Cafe. This is an annual tradition for us.
(Needless, to say, I got several photos for the Blossoms thread which I will be posting soon.)
It should warm back up today and we have commenced the second half of our first December weekend at 50 degrees here in the central part of the state.

Can the Panthers defeat the Saints and take over the top spot in the NFC South division? We will start to find out at 4:25 this afternoon!

Have a Super Sunday, Friends!

Thanks Crown!! We always get a Fraser Fir also for the real tree. I do like the Concolour also due to the citrus smell.

Merry Sunday MMC ~
I’m moving slow this morning. My husband and I attended an anniversary party last night and got in very late. Just taking it easy today. I’m going to catch up with the laundry and get a pot of sauce started soon, dinner will be spaghetti & meatballs.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Goodness! Things have finally slowed down for a second...

We have been all over the place. Basketball games, football games, trips with school, Christmas shopping....it has been a lot! Seems like it has been forever since I got to post.

We finally got to do a little Christmas shopping yesterday for our girls. I have more to do, but I will try to get that done next week. Worst case scenario, I will get it done on the 16th. At least, that's the plan.

Going to try to do some cooking today and make the girls some homemade cookies with icing. I really need to try to do some work outside, but it can wait. There is a cold front coming in that is going to drop things about 30 degrees...which will put us in the 20's.

Hope everyone is enjoying their season...I'm trying to take it all in!

Hopefully, I will see everyone tonight!

Merry Sunday!

Watched two Christmas movies this morning/afternoon. Have to get some work done for the store at some point today, but it is so nice out I might wait until a lot later. I just want to get out and enjoy the sun!

Have a merry week!

I watched one earlier today..cant remember the name now. A lady had to go to a Inn but a ghost of the former owner appears every Dec 12th to Dec 24th. Was a very good flick.
