I kinda have the same feeling....
I've been counting down since we hit 10 weeks left and with Dec just about here, it will be here and over so fast....
My sister gave birth on friday to son #2 so all is on schedule for our annual tree party next Sat. I will be decorating outside today.
24 days to go.....surreal.

Cheers!!

Good Morning Friends!!!
I am with you that I do want to avoid an after-Christmas let-down. Those countries (and the USA south) which celebrate Madri Gras - - they go into another celebration and preparation after Christmas. And then into Lent (a period of meditating, assessing life, hopefully striving to live more generously, praying) -- and the glorious Easter and Spring!
I think it is not so depressing in warmer places. But cold, dark winters can be pretty overwhelming. UNLESS... you can find things to be excited about.
Our multicolored lights are out front, echoed by the multicolored lights on the Christmas tree in the front window. They look cheerful and beautiful to me. What are you enjoying today?

Good morning everyone.
It seems to be rather quiet around here, but like Crown84 said, folks must be making Christmas preparations.
I did put out decorations yesterday.
Not sure yet when we'll put the tree up.
Today I asked the husband to move the fridge so I could clean under it. Lo and behold...there are all the alphabet fridge magnets that the granddaughters always play with! LOL
I think there were maybe five left on the fridge. They will be all excited next week. (Although, they've currently been playing with some dress-up snowment magnets that I'd bought from a school fundraiser that one of the girls had brought into work.)
Their elf, Sprite, arrived Friday. She left them each a gift. No antics yet, but next weekend, she'll make them some cookies or something. (No bake cookies...since the oven still isn't working and someone mentioned them somewhere and now I'm craving them!!!) cheesy

GOOD MORNING!
(Loud enough for you, Sparkle?)
Now that everyone is awake, we can check out the statistics:
Today is Day 18 of our Christmas Season. (Really moving right along, aren't we?)
Days to Christmas Day: 25 (Just think - December, the glorious month of Christmas, arrives tomorrow!)
Wow! Almost continuous rain for over 12 hours here in Raleigh, where we stand at 44 degrees.
The sun is supposed to return tomorrow but with lots of wind. (That's OK, as long as no Christmas decorations are blown down!)
Speaking of decorations, I will get mine up this week!!
Well, have a Soppy - er - Super Sunday guys.
Get ready to move another week closer to Christmas. (Not many more left, you know!)

Crown 84!!! Thank you!!! The board was getting tooooo quiet!
I went to the store to get a prescription --- and I bought more garland!!! Hooray! This is my first year for garland! You know -- that green artificial stuff (with little white lights in it) that looks like pine? And you hang it over doors or archways or windows or mantles or mirrors or anywhere!!!!!!!! Our rooms are pretty small -- and it looks great without taking up floor space!!!
What are you excited about?
I hope you are excited and happy about something!!!!!

i haven't been on much lately but that's because i have been soooo busy with all my christmas prepping and trying to fit my work in that i needed to do before christmas. i imagine that's why it's gone a bit quieter, people are just too busy! i guess it will pick up soon once all the shopping/wrapping/christmas cleaning is done.

Good Morning, Folks.
What is today??
All together, now:
The start of D-E-C-E-M-B-E-R!
That's right, we have at last reached the long-awaited and much coveted month of Christmas - the only month that lies entirely in our fantastically wonderful Christmas Season!
(If you aren't in the Christmas spirit by now, it may be starting to get too late!)
Today is Day 19 of our Christmas Season. (Wow! - Day after tomorrow will see us 3 weeks into the Season!)
Days to Christmas Day: 24 (Better get that gift shopping into high gear!)
Well, I'm putting up my decorations some time this week and Saturday will see a Frasier Fir Christmas Tree in the living room!
Have a Marvelous Monday, Friends!
