December 3rd and I have the windows and front door open. A little odd. Snow by the end of the week though. So I’m going to enjoy the sun while I can. I did take advantage of it to finish my outside decorations.

I need a bigger blowup but this is what I had laying around after finishing in front of the living room window and around the door. I may get something to hang in the windows but after Christmas I’ll pick up a few more things for next year.

Now to finish decorating the kitchen and bathroom.
 
Good afternoon everyone! Can't believe the first December weekend is almost over! I need to make a list of everything I need/want to do this month! Otherwise, I know I will overlook something. I did some baking this weekend for a family gathering I attended yesterday. One cookie I baked was oatmeal butterscotch. I have a few left in the house and I NEED to get them out of here as it seems every time I walk into the kitchen one appears magically in my hand! Just doing laundry and cheering on my fantasy football team this week. Will make a pork chop and rice casserole for dinner. Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Good Morning christmas friends..Hope everyone had a Merry and Joyful weekend with your loved one's...Start of another working week Ughh lol...Hard to believe its only 20 days to Christmas..Enjoy every minute of the christmas season guys as it will be here before you know it..Have a Merry and Joyful day ahead-sing-
 
Well I guess it's time to get on with the Christmas Countdown! I get super into Halloween, I love Thanksgiving, and I consider both of them to be part of the Holidays just as much as Christmas. But alas, finally, nothing beats the certainty that is the month of December, where each and every day this month feels like it's own holiday!
 
Oh yea, and I bought my tree today. Nice little 4 footer fits perfectly in the space I have for it. I put a few strands of soft white lights on it. I also put up my lights around both my windows, just your standard colored lights. But it's a great contrast, because my two windows are on adjacent walls, and in the corner of those walls is my tree.

Tomorrow I'm going to set up my Christmas display on my mantle.
 
Good morning all. It has been almost non-stop around here. Leaving for vacation in three short days. Ever since Thanksgiving, I have been going full steam to get everything done beforehand (along with work of course).
The house is all decorated and so is the yard (I'll post some photos later). Ten of the gift stockings are already filled and I will be doing some more wrapping and getting things ready today, along with some last minute shopping for the trip.
Trying to get all of the cards done as well, but some of you may be getting "Orlando" postmarks... ;)
I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to get back on before I depart...

Morning MMC! I've got 2 mini weeks of work. I'm off Wednesday to finish Christmas shopping. I used to take off Wednesdays sometimes at my old job cause I liked how it did break up the week. It's unreal how fast Christmas is coming. But I was just looking at my tree taking it in. 2 weeks from today my brother will be here from San Diego as usual for Christmas. Seems like he just left here in July. Have a great Monday!
 
Good morning ~
Merry Monday!
Not too much going on here today. I’m going to make a Walmart run later, haven’t been there in awhile. My middle one is off so she’s going to tag along with me and we’ll probably grab lunch while we’re out. That’s about it for me. Hope everyone has a nice day and a great week ahead!
Oh here’s a picture of Rosie, I was hanging more ornaments on one of the trees yesterday and she decided to snuggle up on to the box of Shiny Brites and take a nap :)

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 22 **


Good Morning!

Today we begin the first full week of December, the month of the greatest day of the year.

And how far away is it?
Let us count the days:
Days to Christmas Day: 21 (Do my eyes deceive me? Is it really only three weeks from today? Guess so.)


We warmed up a bit yesterday and it was dry and sunny.
Today will see us into the low 60's by this afternoon, with only a 10 percent chance of rain.
Our current temperature, to begin this new week, is 38 degrees.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody!

Thanks Crown!!
 
Good morning, MMC! I had a busy weekend and did not get chance to log on...back to the grind today but I have 4 day work weeks up until Christmas and then I am off in between Christmas/New Years.
Just work for me today...hope you all have a great day!
 
Good morning MMC! How in the world is it Monday again already - December 4th??? :eek: It was a good weekend, it was a stressful weekend, it was a busy weekend, it was a fast weekend. Mom is really weak! She sure could use some prayers if you have time! She told her caregiver this morning she is just so tired she can't go anymore. :( I hate this for her! :(

My friend & I did have a lot of fun shopping together again on Friday - as always! :) Saturday our HS football team won state. I was with mom (after less than 4 hours of sleep on Friday night :oops:) my brother, sil & moms neighbor (my Mom #2) came over to watch it on tv. Buckeyes played/won Saturday night. I made a triple batch of cinnamon rolls in-between all the action. Didn't get to bed until 1:30 in the morning. Whew! Yesterday was baby shower, then candy day at our house. The family singers are back again this year... :p
-sing-

YOU BETTER BE GOOD!


After this song our great nephew was asking for another song...ha ha ha! So Jingle Bells it was! :D So funny - goof balls!

Anyway, I need another day off to catch up! HA!

Everyone, have a wonderful Monday!

First snow is here!

The mrs and i forged a new tradition last night. By coincidence, we'd both bought eachother advents calendars, special ones, themed - and had wrapped them up and put them under the tree. We then decided to give them to eachother last night, ready for today to open the 1st door.

We call this new tradition "Advent's Eve"

Nice eh?!

(Clearly i'm not the first to have come up with this, but let me have my moment.... :)

What a great new tradition!!!
