:hello: I'm afraid to chime in right now, Binger might refer to me as "old".
I like to think of myself as a "tinsel timer" instead of "Old-timer"
Sure is great to see Sandy around to countdown the seconds left until Christmas.
Liked your poems, Jay. I haven't see the first one before, but the second one is familiar.

I've been so swamped with stuff the last few days. This is the time of year we all chat about throughout the year and I feel a bit odd not being able to get to all my merry hangouts more often "during the season".
Such is the way of things this year though.
I don't have all my decorating done yet and I feel like Christmas is the day after tomorrow (I know I still have time).
I counted this morning and I have six rolls of Scotch Tape so I'm sure I won't run out while wrapping gifts. That's a bad dream I don't want to see come true.
I've been playing Christmas tunes at work. There's eggnog in the fridge, cookies in the freezer (for the grandkids) and our Christmas Party for work is this Saturday.
:hello: Indeed, Christmas is on the way.

Hey, Holiday!
Looks like it's just you and me here this morning, kid.
Where, oh where, have our posters gone?
We'll never make 5K at this rate!
Oh, well. Be that as it may......we have a count to attend to:
Today is Day 30 of our Christmas Season. (A MONTH ago tomorrow our Sason started. Impossible! That just went too fast.)
Days to Christmas Day: 13 (Under 2 weeks, now. Time is growing short!)
MUCH colder here this morning. Was 50 when I got up and the mercury is declining faster than the Dow Jones Average. It has dropped another 2 degrees in the last hour or so despite the sun being up. Will have a couple of cold ones before warmer weather returns on Sunday.
Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks!
And I hope your next-to-the-last Weekend before Christmas gets off to a Wonderous start this afternoon.

Good Afternoon All!! We had snow last night and it looks so beautiful. Christmas is charging full speed at me!!! 
Hey Binger, good to find you here! And Crown, Jay and AuntieMistletoeDear! Lets see, this is the 3rd forum I've been to in my journies. Started out at Christmas.com, then went to The Christmas Place, and now here. Hopefully this one doesn't fold up too!
I usually just post in the main Chit Chat section or the Fun and Games, but just started checking out the Of Interest to All. Come on over to the main section and liven it up a bit! Are you still doing the Operettas?

Don't worry, Sandy. MMC isn't going anywhere. It's one of the originals!
Another work-week done and one and a half to go before I'm on holidays.
Yippee! Yahoo! And a HoHoHo too! I'm off at noon on Christmas Eve and don't go back until January 5th.

My husband asked me today how many cards we sent out this year, I guessed at 120, but I'm not sure it could be more. We don't receive as many as we send, but that's okay, it's my/our chance to say "hey we're thinking of you - have a Merry Christmas", etc. I have to start them in mid-November because I write things in each one and that takes up quite a bit of time and I don't want to get writer's cramp.
Tomorrow I have a funeral to go to, presents to wrap, try and squeeze in a nap before going to a Christmas party in the evening. Sunday will have to be decorating day and finish the shopping day.
I'll try and stop by early with my coffee.
Enjoy your weekend!

Interesting poems, Jayish!
We had a pretty good snowstorm, although, not quite what was predicted.
My husband and son had to be at the hospital in the wee hours of the morning to plow.
(They plow the hospital and Price Chopper and another part of the town that is part of the hospital where testing is done.)
Then afterwards, my son's fuel pump died in his vehicle so they worked all afternoon on that (discovered sugar in his gas tank) and then they had to go back for 10pm last night. My son ended up sick from the gas fumes (he also got a rash) so only husband ended up going in.
He has to go back Monday morning and they'll do the snow removal part.
I shoveled yesterday while home alone and it tired me out too much. My goodness, I'm getting old!!! LOL
:
(Our snow blower died and we've yet to replace it.)
Christmas is sooooo close.....my grand-daughter's are so excited. It's great seeing it all through their eyes.
We ordered pizza while the guys were working on the vehicle and there was some left and when 5yo grand-daughter was leaving she said to me "Don't let grandpa eat all the pizza. I want some more when I come back tomorrow!"
She's quite a character, that one!
I'll pick the three up around noon today and I haven't quite figured out what craft we'll do today....but I'll think of something when the time comes.
Tonight, their visiting elf will make them some cookies.
We'll also read some Christmas books.
