our parliament buildings look so nice this time of the year, thanks for the pictures!Stopping in for a very late evening "Hello!"
We are nearly at the 18th of December. How the days have flown by. Tomorrow evening at this time, I will be home in Sault Ste. Marie for the Christmas Season... Barring any flight delays, of course! I am really hoping for a safe and stressless flight!
This evening, Kim and I visited Parliament and enjoyed the Christmas lights and decor. I have attached a couple photos below. Others can be seen in the Christmas Blossoms thread, too!
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful time. I don't have much time to peruse the forum at the moment. Hopefully I can stop by before my flight tomorrow. But, it is a busy day!!
Parliament:
Good Morning MMC!
I am a little stiff this morning, but waking up to a fresh layer of snow is so nice. It is coming down nice a slow and looks so pretty!
Baking muffins for breakfast (the home made mix gift from last nights party) They smell good !
Hope you all have a great day!
Next Sunday at this time we will be well into Christmas day!!

******** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 36 ********
A chilly Good Morning, Folks.
Brrrr!
Just below freezing here in the capital city.
Calm, though, with no rain prediction, and it should be a sunny day.
OK, now!
Wow, are we ever getting close.
The ONE WEEK mark!
Days to Christmas Day: 7
My goodness! Fifty-Two weeks down to ONE!!
(The approach of Christmas is as inexorable as it is inevitable!)
Well, Sirs, Madams and Indeterminates - enjoy the last half of your last weekend before Christmas Eve.
Have the Superest of Sundays!

Still no snow here in Indy.:-? They just showed on the news that we had received 11 inches of snow at this point last year but this year we've had less than an half inch.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!!! It's going to be a cool one here in central Indy. We will start warming up tomorrow and then the rain will move in tomorrow night. I'm going to be a bad boy and skip church today. Today was going to be our family cookie baking day but I don't think we are going to make many cookies. Instead we are going to make up a bunch of meals that can be frozen to take over to my sisters neighbor. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

CAH- My sister has a dishwasher so you don't have to worry about heading this way after work. :wink: You can come back up tomorrow though and help me look for a new christmas tree if you want!!
You're welcome, 'Star! It was very festive. Cold (-15c), but very well worth it!
Thank you, Made!
Good morning, everyone!
Happy one week until Christmas! The Season is closer to the end than the beginning, however, the Christmas Spirit remains at an all-time high (at least it does for me)! Aside from photographing some sights around Parliament, which is only a 10 minute walk from my home, yesterday evening, Kim and I also watched Elf. We had watched the first half of it way earlier in the Season, but decided to watch it again, in it's entirety, last night. It never gets old. Quite hilarious and it always makes me feel very good inside!
As I mentioned yesterday, I fly out of Ottawa to Sault Ste. Marie (with a layover in Toronto) today at 6:30. With the exception of a few things, I am all packed and ready to go! It will be just over three hours of traveling time. It will be nice to not have to take the midnight bus and sleep in my own bed - rather than a cramped Greyhound chair.
I'll do my best to pop in throughout the day and see how everyone is doing, but I'll see what I can do. After all, it is also NFL Sunday. Thankfully, I based my flight around the Packers game... I don't have to leave for the airport until about 4:30!
Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone! We are only a week until Christmas. One week from today, we will all be gathered around the Christmas Tree enjoying the most magical morning of the year. I can wait. This final week will be magical, too. And now that I have the entire week off, I would love for the week to slow down and allow me to enjoy it to the fullest. Christmas will soon be here!

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is frosty here in northern California, but, obviously, there is no snow in the forecast. Hubby is in the kitchen cooking breakfast: raisin bread toast; eggs scrambled with onions, mushrooms, and cheese; hashbrowns cooked in garlic olive oil; and, of course, coffee.
Brent, loved the pictures.
Judesmama, Happy belated birthday.
Made, you are doing such a wonderful service to your neighbor. As Brad would say, "Bless your heart."
Mo, maybe the Christmas Spirit is hidden in the paint and will soon permeate your walls!!!
Get well, all who are sick. Rest up, all who are tired. Sing some Christmas songs, all who are blue; because your mind cannot actually do two things at once, so if you are singing, you can't be blue; at least for a few minutes.
TTYL.

I laughed when I read you answer SW, I was going to ask him the same thing!

Good Morning, and blessed last Sunday in Advent to all! We're hosting coffee hour after church today. We're serving pita triangles and two kinds of hummus, sandwich pinwheels, bagels and salmon spread, cheese and crackers, deviled eggs, fruit, and homemade cookies. (Our church's coffee hour is more like "light lunch".) After coffee hour, it's the greening of the church, when it's decorated for Christmas services! Then in the afternoon, my granddaughter that lives in California will be over to bake cookies with me, and at six we're invited to a caroling party. Big doings today! I hope I can find a minute to catch up on the thread, but boy that's hard!
Have a wonderful day today, all!
Have a wonderful day today, all!
