Good Morning Everyone. I've had a nice weekend. Family and I took a long drive into the mountains yesterday. We were so high up we actually ran into quite a bit of snow. I was excited to say the least. Lots of beautiful "Christmas Trees" all around and you could smell the pine (definitely aromatherapy there). I am now considering a real tree this year instead of my artificial trees I have. Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday.

I have to agree with you there Jana. Seems like I no sooner get everything out and up and it's time to take it all down. I also wanted to congratulate you on your 2,000th post. I must have missed the thread. That was quick but then again it doesn't take long once you hit 1,000. cheesy

38 for me.....Went Christmas shopping today, in the mild drizzle turning which turned into wet snow by night fall. Also went and checked out the new Bond film.

A nice weekend for sure, just too short as always.

Cheers!!

This is really going fast! We are in the thick of it now! I hope the rest of the world catches up with us fast -- so they can have as much enjoyment as possible!

To be sure, the basis for all the Merry Network Christmas forums has been around a long time as well! Jeff's history with Christmas communiqués, first by fax, goes back to the mid to late Nineties! It was kinda like Mr. Westover was just waiting in the wings, tweaking his sites and getting ready for us to land!

Most assuredly Jeff has welcomed us with open arms and made our home(s) the best place to be for the year round Christmas Spirit! He has graciously given space for four other Christmas webmasters to open forums that are part of the Merry Network. Each site has its own unique feel and contains Christmas.com members.

Some of us here travel around to some or all the forums and some of us just stay here. That’s okay! Like Jeff says, the Christmas Spirit is not limited to MMC! I like to keep up with all the sites because of the Christmas.com-ers that landed elsewhere and seldom, if ever, come in here. Even though I wasn’t an early member there, I will always have a special feeling for the first Christmas forum I joined. The members there that welcomed me and the ones I helped welcome before the forums folded are special as well!

Jeff, we are grateful for your insight and foresight in creating/managing our current digs!

Amen to that RadioJonD ! Thanks Jeff cheesy

Holiday, I'm jealous of the snow you got even if it was short lived.
Hi Auntie, good to see you too.
PS I owe an apology about the Jeff Dunham ventroliquist show, we could not watch it due to language, etc. sorry if anyone was offended. It was NOT a
family show as we had anticipated.

Good Morning, Friends!
Ready to begin moving into the final week before Thanksgiving and another week closer to Christmas?

Today is Day 5 of our Fantastic Christmas Season, and I'm listening to Mitch Miller and the Gang singing Winter Wonderland arrow-straight.

That's just the way I like to hear Christmas songs - none of these wailing, screaming, quavering, lyric-changing modern "funeral rock" versions, please!
Give me Mitch, Sinatra, the Ray Coniff Singers, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Percy Faith, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Anne Murray, Karen Carpenter and Andy Williams.
(I know, I'm old-fashioned, but that's just the way I like it!)

Days to Christmas Day: 38
Days to Thanksgiving Day: 10 (Single digits tomorrow!)

A ch-ch-ch-cilly 35 degrees here in Raleigh at this hour.
Thank goodness there is no wind!
The sun is shining on nearly leafless trees (except for those darn willow oaks. They won't be fininshed punishing my car until early January!)

Have a Marvelous Monday, Comrades!

Hi guys!!! Another busy weekend that precluded my visiting the forums...I really miss you guys when I'm away...I have the site open all day at work and check it all the time but during the weekend I'm away from the computer most of the time...

Anyway...Hellow again all!!!

Magnificent Monday morning! got back from OK. last night @ 8:30. Today a local radio station turned into the Christmas station, and we are going to start decorating today, the season is here! Thanksgiving is next week! & I'm ready for stuffing and everything, have a great day all!

 

[SparkleNana]

Happy Day Five of the Season, Friends! I am loving the season!!!

Jayish - glad you're back on site, catching up! Caseydbell -- I am with you! I'm getting ready for delicious Thanksgiving! Lots of Thanksgiving cooking shows -- giving everyone great ideas!

Bet wishes for a lovely day!

 

[jollyhelperelf01]

38 days, when did that happen?? It's really sneaking up on us. I thought I was ready earlier this year!!

 

[BooksNChristmas]

Good day to everyone! It's Monday :-? , but at least we are in the season!

 

[SparkleNana]

Good Morning Everyone!!! Up and At 'EM!!!

 

[kelly ann]

Good afternoon!!

 

[HolidayHoney]

Good Morning, It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas :rudolph:

 

[Crown 84]

Indeed it does, HolidayH, as we move into Day 6 of our glorious Christmas Season.
I have the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on the CD player next to me. Beautiful, straight Christmas Music.
I love hearing the individual singers like Bing Crosby and Karen Carpenter, but there is just something special about the blending of voices in a choir!

Days to Christmas Day: 37
Days to Thanksgiving Day: 9 (Single digits at last. Really getting close, now!)

Another cold one here in Raleigh, with our temp standing at 37.
Snow flurries were actually mentioned as a possibility for this morning, but I have not seen any. Our high is only supposed to be 44 today and tomorrow.

A string of holiday performances by school groups begins in the mall today.
I love to hear the student choruses and orchestras!
Makes me feel as if the love of Christmas and its music is safe for another generation.

My sister's family is coming over for supper tonight. Always great to have them, especially as we move further along into the Christmas Season.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, friends!
