Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Seawaters]

I cannot thank you enough, Holiday, for this wonderful-sounding recipe!!!

SMOKEHOUSE SPAGHETTI
½ LB. SPAGHETTI NOODLES (COOKED & DRAINED)
1 LB. BACON (FRIED & CRUMBLED)
2 ONIONS, CHOPPED
3 LB. HAMBURGER-BROWNED
3 – 8 OZ. CANS TOMATO SAUCE
1 PINT SPAGHETTI SAUCE
½ TSP. OREGANO
½ TSP. GARLIC SALT
3 – 4 OZ. CANS MUSHROOMS W/ JUICE
½ LB. MOZZARELLA CHEESE - GRATED
½ LB. CHEDDAR CHEESE – GRATED
FRY TOGETHER BACON, HAMBURGER, & ONIONS. STIR IN TOMATO & SPAGHETTI SAUCE. ADD SALT & PEPPER TO TASTE. ADD OREGANO, GARLIC SALT, & MUSHROOMS. POUR ½ OF MIXTURE INTO GREASED BAKING DISH, TOP WITH ½ OF CHEESE, AddThe Rest Of The Mixture & Top With the rest of the cheese . Bake at 375º for 25-35 min. Uncovered.
* We normally cut back on the Hamburger, double the recipe & it feeds over 30 people. We also use more (homemade) spaghetti sauce than is called for - usually 3-4 quarts in a double batch.
Mom makes this in a roaster pan in the oven.

Please take care, Solice. We have missed you, but we want you to get better.

Good Evening!

I haven't been here for some days.
I feel so sick. And are so tired writing about it..

Well I actually was feeling a little better today, I think.
Would like to think anyway...
But now at 9.30 in the evening I feel the fever is coming back.
And I don't want it to!!

Woke up to 3c (37.4F) Brrr....
But the sun was shining - and it was beautiful outside.
Fall is definitely here ♥


Im just so tired all the time.. Tired of beeing sick.
With six kids in the house and The Man at work/travelling all over the world
There is no time for me to be sick. I'll have to move on..

I have to pick him up at the airport in one hour.
And then he'll be home for 3 days before he is gone almost one week!
:roll: Yay, that's my life!


Okey.. I'll put the SMILE back on! =]

I miss you all! And Im thinking about you.
Hope everyone is doing fine! ♥

This is so funny and sweet!

...

I have to share something cute with you guys about the dog. He loves Christmas soooo much. When he sees his presents that are wrapped for him, my aunt and uncle have to put them up high because he jumps off of all fours into the air to try to get to them - lol! He also unwraps all of his presents on his own.

Please keep him in your thoughts/prayers - I appreciate it :]

Hubby and I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond when I went to see my radiologist today. I bought a Yankee Candle (Ocean Water--ha ha, I just noticed the significance of that!!!), a pomegranate room fragrancer, and a Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin and Farmer's Market fragrancer. Yummy smells for my classroom! They also had another one that I want--Treehouse Memories. Totally love it!

Big Happy Birthday to CM3!

Good evening Y'all

My cousin had her baby today, all 6lb 14 oz of him he is a handsome lil thing that ya just wanna hold for hours and hours! then this after noon we was called in to be told that our Aunt by what the dr told us has about 6 months to live. they did a special scan and she has stage 4 cancer in 4 different places that they could clearly see. and she is the one who had a 2nd stroke right after pop did in feb. sooooooo now we wait and spend as much time as we can with her. this breaks my heart but I'm keeeping my head high and diving head first here on MMC and Love Of Christmas on FB. I'll just keep myself busy. well I'm going to call it a night See y'all in the AM have a good one!!!

I forgot to tell y'all that I got THREE tattoos today!!! It was not fun, but the doctor had to mark three areas for radiation. Thank goodness they were only dots! Glad I did not have to have a whole scene done! What a wimp I am!

Good morning mmc friends
Hope all is good with you all this morning
The weather this morning is cool. had to put a heater on in the sunroom as you could feel the chill when you walked in
Soon be friday.!!
Had a meeting yesterday of our town forum with the council. there is only 6 of us. to discuss halloween and christmas
As the council give £4000 towards a fireworks display and they only give £500 towards christmas ! so we are gonna cancel the fireworks this year and put it towards chrsitmas lights and just have some other thing for the kids on halloween we are thinking a disco with prizes..the town is gonna come down on us like a ton of bricks but they cant have it all.its one or the other this is gonna be the 1st year in 5 that there is gonna be a christmas event. so we need the money for extra lights , we have christmas near enough planned we have another meeting with the council on monday again to sort out dates for the lights. we are trying to get a santa grotto. and we have a pink tribute bank to pay. and a christmas market. bit of organising in it as there is a few that dont no much. but we are gonna just go ahead me and another person and get it done
And again am sure it will not please the town they complain no matter what you do.
Anyway now the tea is cold lol so time to get a refill
YOU all have a good day and take care..
And hugs to all furbabies ...

Morning Merry Makers! It's the first time I am posting on this thread so I hope i'm not intruding! I just joined a couple days ago.

I am all the way over in England. Autumn is moving in briskly now. The leaves are falling, it's getting colder and the days are becoming a hazy shade of grey.

So excited for the christmas season to begin!

Have a lovely day everybody !

Hello, Dear Friends.

Once again we meet to review the statistics and assess the nearness of the Season to evaluate Christmas plans.
(Can't let things get away from us, now can we?)

OK
Here goes:
Days to the Season: 61 (Two months from today!)
Days to Christmas Day: 103 (Under half a week to the 100-day Window!)
"Movin', Movin', Movin'
Gotta keep on movin'!"

Hey! The weather has got us spoiled.
It's been so nice, any change will be a disappointment.
Oh, well. Let's enjoy it to the fullest while we can.
We currently stand at 57 degrees here in the capital city.

You have a Thoroughly Thrilling Thursday, OK?
And get ready for an Exciting Eve of the Weekend tomorrow!

I turned on the TV and the first thing I saw was SANTA!!! He was on the news. I didn't catch the story but it was something to do with retail stores.

I actually made it on here 2 days in a row? That's a record.

Anyone have big plans for this weekend?

Praying for all of you.

I LOVE Yankee Candles. Wish there were more places here to get them!

 

[jennifer91]

You can all come shop at the Yankee Candle store at my mall, lol! I prefer the Slatkin & Co. candles that they sell at Bath & Body Works - anyone have any? I just bought Pumpkin Cupcake, Cider Lane, Café Au Lait, and Cinnamon Nut Bread. They are amazing!

This excited me to no end! Can't believe we're exactly only two months away from ushering in the magic of the Christmas Season! I'd watch a Christmas movie tonight to celebrate, but the Packers are playing the Bears. I can't miss that!
