Christmas Countdown - 2011

Christmas-A-Holic · May 28, 2011

The idea of this seemed like to me that the cat would be annoyed and I wasn't sure I would like the video at first. Actually the cat seems very content to be wrapped! cheesy

How about those Mavericks!? I have to root for them because I don't think the Dallas Cowboys will have a season this year.

Christmasstar · May 28, 2011

The countdown's getting closer every day!

The count:
Days to the Season: 169
Days to Christmas Day: 211

On June 8 we will arrive at Day 200 before Christmas!
Have you started Christmas shopping yet?
I know Christmas-A-Holic is practicing gift wrapping on the cat and if you can wrap a cat nicely, anything else is easy!

I have 2 gifts bought so far, both for my older babe. Woo hoo!

Oh no! Don't say that about The Boys! They have to do good this year. (I am trying to be real positive). cheesy I really missed watching a good football season from them last year. We got Jason Garrett so maybe it will go better.

I have one cat that would probably let me wrap him. He is so laid back! The other one would hop around all over the paper trying to play with it. =)

Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm once again posting live from Bernie's store in beautiful downtown Bellville, GA!

It's overcast this morning, and it rained some last night. We needed it! Of course, witht the rain yesterday came strong winds that tore a big limb from one of my pecan trees. It also knocked down a few trees in the area, so I should consider myself lucky.

I've cooked breakfast, and we have 2 bushels of peanuts boiling, so it's going to be a good day.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

I'm amazed at how close we are. Heck, we are almost 1/2 to Christmas! Once the countdown hits the 100's, it will be no time until we hit "100 Days to Christmas". Seems like yesterday we got into the 100's for Days left til the season. I can't wait!

Beautiful outside this morning! Temp is in the mid-60's, sun is beaming...no wind. Just great. My martins are flying all over the place, putting on one heck of a show. Wish sleepy head would come out and watch with me (my wife, not Crown, although Crown would be ok too). I'm about to begin working in the yard. I love these mornings. So quiet, calm, and you can't hear anything.....except for the sound of a weed-eater!!! Hope my neighbors are up, because they are about to be!!

Have a great day friends! Talk to you later!

And with this post, Made, who is another year older, is poster #11,200. His prize is a pair of plastic inserts that come with a new pair of shoes--I guess it's to hold their shape while they are in the box. This is such a great prize because they look like real shoes only clear plastic. I bet you could decorate them in a Christmas theme!!!

Thanks for the prize and the Idea!!!!!!!! I'm sure my nieces would love to help decorate them. cheesy

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!! It is cool here in central Indy with a temp of 58 but that won't last long. We are expecting a high of 80 today and then 90's for the next 4 days. I need to run to the grocery store sometime today but the first thing I am going to do is take something for this headache that I woke up with. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MerryCarey · May 28, 2011

What a gorgeous day outside! Helps to make up for all of the gray, chilly days we've had this month. cheesy

What's everyone up to this weekend? (long weekend in the U.S.)

ballcoach · May 28, 2011

Made, you been to the track any this week?

judesmama · May 28, 2011

Not TOO hot yet today - made dark chocolate chip Belgian waffles this AM and headed to the farmer's market. Our house is right by the lot they do it, so we get lots of pop in visitors on Saturdays, which is nice. Saw a lot of friends already and it's only 10:45!

Too many cookouts the rest of the weekend!! I hope we can make them all but I'm not making any promises with a baby in tow! Jude loves to travel around, socialize, shop - you name it. NOel - not so much!

Seawaters · May 28, 2011

I am delighted for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is gray, chilly, and breezy here in northern California. We have plans to go to Chico to visit relatives who have arrived for a visit from Missouri. It will be so much fun. We were able to visit with them in Missouri this past summer. I know it will be a lot of fun, food, and family. I hope all of y'all have a great day!!! CAH, I am sending the cat video to my SIL. She loves cats as much as we do!

Good Afternoon from London!
Been away from a while, but certinaly did not forget anything!
The Selfrides christmas store opens next month, and over the course of the summer sneaky christmas sections start to open. I feel very much now that I am looking to christmas 2011 and not back at 2010.

I watched fred clause last night to celebrate.

I hope everyone has had good health and happy times since I was last here!

judesmama · May 28, 2011

Ooh, mrichmond - will you post pics for us of the Christmas store when it opens?!?!

And you are sooo right - before we know it, fall stuff (and Christmas!!!) will be sneaking into stores! Yipppeee!

I haven't.:-? My BIL has an extra ticket for the race tomorrow so I may go with him if he can't find anyone else. Normally I would jump on a chance to go but his tickets are in turn 1 and there is no cover to block the sun. He usually gets burnt pretty bad when it is sunny out like they are calling for tomorrow.

I did get to meet Helio last night at one of our local stores. He was there signing autographs for a couple of hours.
