.....My favorite Christmas songs that came up on the ipod shuffle this morning: the classic Frosty the Snowman sung by Bing Crosby and Old Fashioned Christmas sung by Frank Sinatra.
I've downloaded about 5 hours worth of Christmas music myself, Cherie.
Aren't those MP3 players great? And with an FM transmitter, I can listen in the car.
 
i should get me an mp3 player as well...a good one that i can put into the car....I only have a tape deck in my car radio....no money for a cd player in there....but the mp3 player could be manable somehow...I want Christmas music....I will have to record me a tape....how 80s is that?
 
Good evening!! I can't believe it's Sunday night already!! Where did the weekend go??? I really wanted to put up my tree today but I have to wait until Friday! :-( My sister was supposed to have Thanksgiving at her house, but her MIL had open heart surgery on Friday & it didn't go very well, so my sister doesn't want to have the party at her house b/c she will be doing a lot of running to the hospital this week (1 hour + drive) so we are having Thanksgiving at our house now, which is totally fine. BUT my hubby says I am not putting up Christmas decorations if we are having Thanksgiving!!! Lol! The tree takes up a lot of room & I have a big family, so we really don't have room for it with everybody coming. So I have my work cut out for me this week to get the house ready for a PARTY!!! :hello: My sister who was supposed to have the party called tonight & she just bought the new Radio City Spectacular dvd's, (as seen on tv) so she is going to bring them along & after we have Thanksgiving dinner, we are going to watch them on our big screen to get everybody even more in the holiday spirit!! I'm excited!!!

My neighbor called Friday night & asked if I wanted to go Christmas shopping on Tuesday. Several of the neighbor ladies are going, so I am going to check w/ my boss tomorrow & hopefully I will get to go along this year!!! I normally don't go b/c of work, but we are really slow right now, so it might work out!

AND another thing...I think I am going to do something that I have always said I would NEVER do!!! My friend & I are (probably) getting up at 4am Friday to hit the Black Friday sales at Walmart!!! I have never done that before & never had the desire, but I am looking forward to it now...I think it will be fun!!! My friend is such a fun person to be around & I think it will be a grand ol time! Lol! My sister is probably coming along too, IF we can promise to have her to work by 6:30 am!! That's going to be pushing it!!!

Well, I've babbled enough...hope you all had a great weekend!!!!!
 
A quick good morning to everyone.
My thermometer outside appears to be sitting at 14 degrees. Yikes!
Today we are having a luncheon and cake for my former supervisor. Friday is her last day. She is retiring.
I will give her the scrap book I made for her. (She had this Elvis figure hanging in her office and I kidnapped him and took his picture with coworkers and some customers and even one of our vendors.)
Then, I'm off work until Friday! Yay!!!!!
I love Christmas, but I'm glad my retail doesn't involve Christmas. cheesy
We might sell a random tool for a Christmas gift, but not too many.
Have a great day!!!!!
 
Trackrebel, your old car cassette player will come in handy in conjunction with an MP3 player!
Get an inexpensive player (I have a Sandisk) along with a tape adapter. It looks like a cassette tape but has a cord that runs to the line out port on the MP3 player. Plays through your car stereo system flawlessly!
(If you don't have a car tape player, you are stuck with using an FM transmitter which sometimes does not perform well, I'm afraid!)


Good Morning, Friends!

Today is Day 12 of our Christmas Season.
Days to Christmas Day: 31 (One month from tomorrow!)
Days to Thanksgiving Day: 3 (I can almost see the table, now!)

Yet another cold one, with our temp again currently right at 32.
(Thank goodness for that daily morning sun!)

The Christmas show was impressive yesterday, but activity was down owing to the economy.
I am posting some photos to my Christmas Blossom thread.

Have a Marvelous Monday, folks.
 
Happy Thanksgiving Week, Friends!

I found something wonderful at the grocery store. It is EGGNOG made with soy milk. It has 90 calories per half cup -- as opposed to 230 calories for real eggnog made with cream. It tastes really good. Just lighter than eggnog.
 
One day closer!! Checking in late today as *we* both have colds today. Husband started in yesterday and me today. The goal is to get better by Wed!! I'm loving the Christmas movies on ABCFamily and I wrapped six gifts today to enhance the mood.

Happy to hear so many of you are having snow!
:cry:

Holiday: Hope the party comes out great! Sounds like you have a very busy week coming up! You are brave to go out on Black Friday. Can't say I've done it, but I'm tempted to go look for a deeply discounted washer/dryer myself.

Crown: I haven't figured out how to play my ipod in the car yet. I really ought to though since I have loads of music on my ipod. I still use cd's in the car. I have a five disc jobber in there so it works out okay.

Favorite songs from today's shuffle: Jingle Bells sung by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters (Ja Ja Ja Jingle Bells!) and Linus and Lucy from the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack.
 
Is it Monday already? I was in a coffee stupor all weekend... went to the annual
" Holidays in the city" parade.. 24th year in a row for me.... cold.. but I didn't notice.. I was jazzed up on coffee...

Howdy gang!! Just got back from Walmart! I bought just about everything I need for the T-day party! I've decided to make my MIL's Cranberry salad, a pumpkin roll, stuffed mushrooms & I bought some burn 'n serves!! :smile: I AM going Christmas shopping with the neighbor girls tomorrow...SO EXCITED!! I just called the neighbor & she said we will be with 9 or 10 of us! HOW FUN!!! We are leaving at 7:45 am! I also called my friend who I am Black Friday shopping with & I am picking her up at 4:30 Friday morning!!! It's going to take LOTS of coffee...good thing I bought more Italian Sweet Cream creamer tonight!!! :hello: I think shopping on Black Friday is going to be fun, exciting, & miserable all at the same time!!! :lol:

cherie...sorry to hear you have the dreaded cold!!! Hope you are feeling much better by Wednesday if not tomorrow!!!

Hope you all are having a good Monday...now go watch ABC Family!! :- )

Sunny this morning, with the temp at 45.

Today is Day 13 of our Christmas Season.

Hey! Did anyone catch "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" yesterday afternoon? One of the contestants said she was a Christmas fanatic and keeps her decorations up all year long. I wonder if she is one of our own(??).
(If not, this is the place for her!)

Well, we are off to to the grocery store to complete purchasing everything we need for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, everyone!
Break out those Christmas MP3's, CD's, Cassette Tapes, LP Records, Wax discs or any other media you might have and enjoy!
(I'm listening to a piano Christmas medly as I type this - 42 songs all in row without break!)
