Good Evening Everyone.
Still holding at 6 decorated houses on the way home. We're still hanging in there.
We are celebrating Mrs.Eagle's birthday on Sunday, and being the well trained husband that I am, I asked her where she would like to go for dinner. She said that she'd like to stay home and make a TURKEY DINNER instead of going out, and have the family over at our house. I don't know what to say . . . . . . except, GREAT !!! (Since no one is allowed in the kitchen while she's cooking. Except to do the dishes.)
Song for tonight: Kenny G - Sleigh ride
Later !

We're supposed to take my tree down this weekend...well it was last weekend but we pushed it back...maybe push it back another week. I hate taking it down...total opposite of putting it up.

Awww, shucks, Edge. Ye makes me blush!
Just call me Dr. Countdown.
(I could go with Uncle Countdown or Auntie Countdown but that would rather let the cat out of the bag, wouldn't it?)
Speaking of the count:
Days to the Season: 299
Days to Christmas Day: 341
Look at that! We're under 300! Doesn't that "2" look nice?
Cold and wet here in Raleigh at this hour, but with the temp holding in the low 40's, no ice.
Snow is predicted for this afternoon but with it remaining above freezing, the roads should be OK.
Have a Stupendous Saturday, all my Christmas Comrades!
Keep the spirit of Christmas with you wherever you go this weekend!

Hey! Now that we have passed our first milestone, let's look at how far we are from the next one.
Oh, look! Less than a month to the 1/4 mark!
Think of it! In under a month, we will already be 25% of the way back to the Christmas Season!
(See the beauty of the Season Count?)
Note: our chart says Feb 12 is the 1/4 mark but I recalculated for leap year and rounding off, it comes out to Feb 13 this year. No matter - still barely over 3 1/2 weeks away!!
(Well, I hope that brightens everyone's day a bit.)

It does go fast...and the Season Count is a really smart idea. By the time you hit the new year, and xmas is finally over...it's already not that far from being under 300 to the season. 2 does look nice...1 will look even nicer.
Good Saturday morning!!! It's a balmy 9º this morning in Ohio!! :cold: Was snowing earlier, but the sun is out & now it's just cold! It's supposed to snow off & on all day! It's a great day to go cruise shopping!!! YAY!!!
Edge...I know exactly how you feel...it's much more fun to put up the tree than it is to take it down! I hear so many people say "oh, it feels so good to have my tree put away & now I have my room back" but I always think "nope, I miss my tree!"
The next milestone is 1/4 of the way to the season? Now that puts in into perspective! I just love this countdown!! :-D
I'm off to the mall...CHARGE!!!! Ya'll have a Super Saturday!!!

Highs in the teens , with over night temps in the single digits, tomorrow a chance of lake effect snow, with blowing & drifting snow.
People, people, focus!!!! This is not the weather thread. The only weather that matters anyway is over at Cedar's place where we are all heading for the turkey sandwiches, cold beer, coffee, tea, mulled cider/wine, pies, Binger's LATEST opera and tire swing (complete with plaid cushion)
C'mon guys, let's hit the road.........!!!!!!
