That's why I follow the adage of Gracie ( who I met at the old Christmas.com and she has appeared here...) Christmas is either here or on it's way... I don't get depressed when it's over... the decorations wouldn't be special if we left them up year long..

Binger - Jay is very very busy, but he asked me to send you his very best wishes.
And - I have a question.
Will Carl be appearing in any of the "live Nativity plays?" These are a big hit, and insanely popular, but sadly few and far between.

Hi everyone!!!
Dh and I went Christmas shopping last night. We only ended up buying dd's presents. We couldn't decide if we are going to purchase a PSP for ds or not. Dh told me he wants to take ds's money and his money and put them together and purchase an x-box 360. They only got a PS3 last Christmas. So needless to say, I was not a happy momma. There is more to life than video games. Ds is only allowed to play on the weekends as it is. What do we need another gaming system for?
I took dd's presents to work today and got some big shipping boxes to wrap them in. I had dh bring them in a while ago and put them under the tree. They are not wrapped yet, but I will get to that soon. For now, we have told the children that we know who they are for and we are not telling, so ds doesn't feel left out.
I hope you all have a great evening!!

Good Morning Friends!!!
I like to come here and read posts. It makes me smile. Also, it makes me feel warm and cosy inside, in the general area of my heart, to think of all the members of this board. To the untrained eye, they look like regular people. But to the Christmas-trained eye - they look like happy Christmas elves!!!!
Take good care of yourself today. You are very precious!

Oh, Carl wouldn't miss it. (He's a natural, you know).
He's planning one for the front of the Shispering Pines, if he can get some lambs recruited.
Good Morning, Friends!
Straight to the statistics:
Today is Day 21 of our Christmas Season. (We complete 3 weeks at the end of the day. Wow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 22 (Three weeks from tomorrow!)
Time is really moving right along. The big day will be here before you know it.
Cold here, with our temp standing at 32 at this hour here in Raleigh.
Another sunny one, however, and no wind. (Helps it feel a bit warmer, but still seasonal!)
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, everyone!
And Holiday, not only does the view to Friday look great from our week's peak, could that be Christmas Day starting to show up just over the horizon?

I may not like coffee, but I like your philosophy, my friend!
Cheers!
I didn't see a post from me for yesterday! Could it be that I forgot my "Good morning"?????? How remiss of me!
Good morning, everyone.
As I sat here, the smell of the coffee brewing began to turn my tummy....I really hope I'm not coming down with that bug.
Grand-daughter got sick on Saturday when she was here. My son called me Tuesday and told me he was ill so I stopped by the place he's staying and dropped off ginger ale, pepto and tylenol. He gave me a hug and when I stopped by yesterday, my friend's son is sick too. Hopefully, she and her other son and grand-daughter won't end up sick!!!!
A few at work have had it......yikes!
I have no personal time left, took them all for various appointments for myself and family.....but I have two vacation days that I plan to take the week of Christmas and I don't plan to give any of them up because of illness!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep positive thoughts that my resistance stays strong to this bug!!!
Have a great day!

Positive vibes coming your way Christmas Granny!
Good Morning Friends!
Stay well christmasgranny and everyone else too!
I just read that drinking lots of water helps keep you well. It keeps all your bodys' defense systems working their best -- and washes out toxins and germs. I think it has become my personal favorite "old wives tale" for today!

Good Morning and a Festive Friday Eve to you!
Today is Day 22 of our Christmas Season. (Moving into week four. Incredible!)
Days to Christmas Day: 21 (Three weeks from today, guys!)
Seems like things truly get into high gear once we move inside 3 weeks.
Really time to start cracking on that shopping if you have not already started. The big day has a way of creeping up on you if you let down your guard.
For some reason, the first 2 weeks in December really seem like the peak of the season for me - when I am in the maximum Christmas spirit.
Perhaps after then, most of the preparations and activities are completed and it's just a matter of waiting for the Day.
It is 43 outside here in Raleigh at this hour and warmer weather is predicted for today, only to be supplanted by chilly temps again tomorrow.
Oh well, even a one day respite is nice.
Have a Thrilling Thursday, folks!
Turn ^ the volume on that Christmas song in your heart and revel in our glorious Season!

I just had a comforting, nourishing bowl of split pea soup. That is very nice winter comfort food for me! How about you? What kind of comfort food do you like at this time of year?
:Chicken and dumplings is good comfort food. Real stick-to-your-ribs kinda stuff.I ate very little today. I nibbled crackers. I had some boring chicken noodle soup for lunch and drank a couple glasses of ginger ale.
I did eat at dinner. I made bacon and eggs (avoided the bacon...too greasy for my ill tummy) but I did eat the eggs and toast.
I'm feeling better, although I will probably be in bed early tonight.
This weekend is inventory at my work, so the boss was hoping I wouldn't be sick tomorrow, as today and tomorrow is big prep for inventory.
I'm fortunate, I am not working inventory day. I get to help with the prep, but don't have to do the actual inventory.
