By the way "normal" is overrated! I vote we go back to the chaos of Christmas! :wink:

I don't know. I kinda of got burnt out this season but as soon as I started putting it all away I got back into the spirit. I guess I just like the buildup.

I believe I now have an ear infection, I can hear my pulse in it, and there is a little pain.

I hope you feel better soon!!!!!

Made is totally turning you into a slave! :smile:

She just likes to spend time up here in the cooler weather.

Christmas-A-Holic · Jan 2, 2012

Yes, any excuse for cooler weather sounds good to me! Also I could make another stop in Santa Claus, Indiana on the way!

Xmas366, I love the signature!

Colts Fans- It looks like Chris and Bill Polian are out as Vice President and General Manager.

I know none of you really talk about college football except V and me, but I wonder what they will do about the PSU football staff?

sugar142286 · Jan 2, 2012

It is snowing here!

Rumors say they are after the Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien for head coach, its been all over the sports news up here.

That is true. They interviewed Bradley too, but I feel they will never give him a chance. I am thinking they are going to clean house, which just makes me sad. I feel like the only one that really should still go is McQuery.

Alrighty everyone, it has been a fun afternoon, but I must be going. I've got some running around to do and then it is out to eat with my family. Be back on later!

Have a great evening!

Back from London, not a fun drive at all! Glad to be home.

All my decorations are down now, just have to finish packaging them up and putting them away till next Christmas!

Crown 84 · Jan 2, 2012

We sadly took our tree and decorations down today.
....All except for our wreaths. Couldn't bring myself to take them down, yet.
Maybe on the 12th day of Christmas......

Good afternoon Christmas Family and Happy 2012 !

Not doing much today. I am usually working at this time but today since I was not required to I decided to take the day off even though I don't get paid for it. I don't have anything planned for today at all......I am going to watch some of the final Christmas movies on Hallmark channel and try and be ready for work tomorrow. I have a doctor appointment on Friday for a problem I have been having and thinking I may need to move it up a little........xo

I will try to stop back later, Christmas family. I hope everyone has a fantastic first day of the new year xoxo

PS: Wish is STILL doing well. He says hello to all his adopted aunts and uncles on the countdown and sends his best to his cousins, Ella, Snickers, Harlowe, Snowball, Scooby, Sasha, Gomez, and all the furkids here on MMC xo

Harlowe & I are sending hugs back to you, Wish!!
Hope you enjoyed your Christmas movies yesterday, CM3. I was glued to the tv as well. Makes me sad that they're not on anymore. But, Sounds Of The Season still is!!! :smile:

Forgive me if this sounds like moaning---I've got something on my mind.

I love to "read the news" here every day, but I'm getting concerned that it's going to be too difficult to keep up this year, with the emphasis on increasing the post count. I like to drop by for a relaxing visit with friends, but I don't always have the chance to click through 20 or 30 pages to keep caught up. I don't want to find that I'm losing track of what's going on with all of you when there's not enough time to read all the posts. Those will be sad days.

Don't think I'm a party-pooper if I keep using multi-quotes. It helps me keep track of things I want to reply to. I'm not a super-poster, so forgive me if I'm not pumping up the count enough. It looks like that may become the primary goal of the Countdown, and that worries me a little. I enjoy getting together with all of you here more than trying to beat the post count, and I'll miss you all on those days when I don't have time to catch up. The Countdown has been an important part of my day for the better part of two years now, but this year I may be out of my depth. I hope that doesn't happen. You all mean a lot to me.

I hear you, I'm still behind from 2011! LOL. I hope everybody knows that you all mean a lot to me, too. There will be times that I won't be able to keep up. Too bad there isn't a place to go to to find specific things that may have been missed. Not that everyday life isn't important, but I think you all know what I mean!

Hi all! Hope you're all doing well this am. Just got home from work and crawled into to bed. Today is my day off...yah! I am going to get up around 12:00 and watch the Penn State game. DH, the kids, and I have to do some running around then too.

Well, nothing new to report here. Hope you all have a great day.

Still thinking about you Snowflake!

Hope you're having a great day off with your family! And thanks for thinking of me, sugar~ xo
