Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Friends!
Another week - another step closer to Christmas Season 2010.

How many steps, you ask? OK:
Days to the Season: 292
Days to Christmas Day: 334
Days to Binger's Opera Chapter XXXIX: ???
Barely over 2 1/2 weeks off from the 1/4 Season Milestone.
How can we be so far along so soon?? Why, it's the beauty and the magic of the Season count, of course!

Very overcast here in Raleigh at this hour but we are comfortably warm (for this time of the year, anyway) at 59.
More rain is supposed to fall today but we will then have several dry days in a row (naturally accompanied by the return of cold temps!)

Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!

It is a wet and foggy morning here, going to turn into a cold and snowy afternoon. ( we hope!) :

My mom's birthday today, she is now 79! She is in Vermont right now so I will have to send all my wishes virtually this year.

Have a great day everyone!
:merry:

Happy Birthday to Mom!

Morning! Wet day today in Philly... and we have water in our basement - dripping from the electric meter, somehow!!!! I am so nervous! Called the electric company and waiting for them to come... I hope they get their butts out here soon b/c it seems like a fire hazard to me! It's dripping on to the breaker box!!!!! AHHH!

In better news - 11 months until the big day!!!

Good luck with that. I hope it gets fixed and everyone stays safe!

According to Bizarre Holidays:

January 25 is . . . . Opposite Day

This should be interesting!

I've never been much of an opera fan, but Binger has converted me!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

Wow, what a nasty weekend. It has rained and the wind has blown. But today is beautiful here in south GA. I have my windows open again.

I was busy working most of the weekend, and didn't get a chance to check in here. I spent some time this morning catching up. We made a 1000 posts in a month...let's keep the momentum going!

Ok, I better do some actual work while I'm here at work. I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning Everyone...Just stopping in to say hello to you all. Got to take daughter to school in a few. Hope everyone has a great day!

We have a show out of Toronto every morning called "Breakfast Television" and this morning they where talking about how many people still have their Christmas lights up. :yahoo:

Kevin then announced that they all had to have them down by the end of this month. :-? I will have to email him a protest note!

Yeah give 'em the what for, how dare they lol!

Made, I kept coming back hoping to catch you, but I will tell you congrats tomorrow!

It was about 2am when I got home from the party.cheesy

 

[made582]

Well, just a warning to all...Made's team is going to the Superbowl....so he is going to be slightly excited when he gets back. Made, are you slightly excited?

Just a little cheesy


WOOHOO GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

Made--I can't wait to hear all about the game.

The game was great. I will admit that I was a little nervous with two minutes to go in the first half. When the colts scored right before the half I knew that we had it figured out and that we would win. The crowd was great. I was amazed at how many jets fans were there but the colts fans drowned them out pretty good. The second half was great. The fans could sense that we had it wrapped up and things were starting to go crazy. After the game the party spilled onto the streets and we headed to one of the bars to watch the NFC championship game. The bars were all packed but we finally found one that we could get into. I have never been much of a drinker and it had been close to five years since I had had a drink but I figured it would be a good way to celebrate. So we watched the NFC game with a few hunderd friends and cheered the saints on to victory. Then we all debated who would win the super bowl and why. Finally about 12:30 we headed back to my cousins house and then I came home. It was a great day.

I tried looking for you in the crowd since I knew what you were wearing, but for some strange reason I wasn't able to find you. LOLcheesy

To Kill time before the game I counted the number of 18 jerseys in my section. There were 45 of us. I am getting ready to rewatch the game and I will let you all know if they showed me.

Binger-BRAVO BRAVO The oprea was great.

January 25 is . . . . Opposite Day

Does that mean I should be heading out to buy a new saints hat instead of a colts hat this evening. :-?

 

[Crown 84]

Does it mean we should reverse the count and begin adding days to Christmas Season 2010??
(Perish the thought!!)

 

[made582]

Well I am not getting around real quick this morning. My throat is a little sore from yelling so much yesterday and I have a bit of a headache. I need to run to the grocery store this evening and while I am there I will be looking for a new colts hat. My current one is getting a little beat up so I think it is time to replace it. I also have some laundry to do. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I can see how Opposite Day could be negative. Hmmm... Maybe take all negative things and be opposite with it and leave the good stuff alone. cheesy

 

[Bradmac]

That's a better plan!
