Christmas Countdown - 2012

[brent]

Good morning everyone,

It's Thursday. We're one day away from the weekend. And, as Crown mentioned, we are only two months away from the first day of the Christmas Season! It's hard to believe that the magical feeling we share throughout the entire year will be felt by the entire world in just two short months. I can't wait! Until then, however, I will do my best to keep enjoying everything and paying close attention to sights and sounds of the nearing Season.

Last night was enjoyable. I had a decent but long workout at the gym. Somehow, I was there for two hours. Since I'm injured, I have a long(er) routine than normal. The good news? For the first time in about a week or so, my knee feels great. It's been a little stiff for the past few days, but I seem to have found that digging a lacrosse ball into my upper knee/lower quad rubs out a bunch of knots and gunk. It's painful, but if it allows for progress like this, I'll take it... and do it every day! With that said, I have a physio appointment tonight. I'm hoping for good news. Perhaps, running by the start of October? Now, that would be excellent!

Other than the gym, Kim and I watched The X-Factor last night. I normally don't like those shows, but it was enjoyable. Still, I will probably only watch the first one or two. Singing shows are not my thing. Kim also went back to Cornwall last night. She has to prepare for her sister's wedding on Saturday. I'll be joining her tomorrow night. It should be a good time.

Well, I should get to work. I hope everyone has a great Thursday! The weekend is almost here...!

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 !

Good morning all. We are are enjoying fabulous early fall weather here. Lows in upper 40s and highs in mid 70s.

Today is my last work day this week. I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow while taking my son out of school early and we are driving down to Atlanta to the Braves & Washington Nationals game. Saturday we are meeting my parents and my brother's family at the mountain fair in Asheville.

Have a blessed day everyone.

I am sure y'all will do a great job. Good for you!

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 ...

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

My mom had shoulder surgery yesterday, so I was at the hospital all day. The doctor said it all looked good, and I brought her home last night. I talked to her this morning (my aunt stayed with her last night), and she says she's still feeling good. She starts physical therapy tomorrow, bless her heart.

This cooler weather is wonderful!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Welcome to the Countdown. This is a wonderful place. You are NOT intruding--the more, the merrier. Your fall weather sounds wonderful. Send some to northern California!

I buy from Bath and Body Works every year. I have Leaves and one of the pumpkin ones. I also love their Halloween liquid soap containers. I have the pumpkin and the ghost ones.

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!

You are such a good father. Not many parents realize that an education is not just about being in the classroom. It is sometimes about experiences and picking quality time with our kids. Have a great time!!!

You are right--bless her heart. Shoulder surgery (say that fast five times) is not fun!!! Praying for a speedy recovery!

Good morning Christmas friends. With the whole-house fan on, it feels nippy; but that will change by later today. Back to School is tonight, so I will not get on until after that--about 7:30 or so. We will be finishing up a space lapbook to have on display along with our books and a few other items. Welcome to all the new and returning members. You all make this the most magical place on Earth, no matter what Disney says!!!

Question.
Is there tea or cough-ee in that cup?

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Shellie, I love that fall coffee cup! (or is it tea)? :wink:

P
Santa?? I didn't see Santa. I just saw some lousy weatherman. :lol:

It's good to see you back.

Our weatherman is being nice this week. Finally down in the 80's!!! Nice change from the triple digits last week. =)

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!

I have one from there, Fresh Balsam and a few small pumpkin ones. They are great! I also buy all my body lotion from there. They always have great sales there.

I am glad your knee is improving. Don't overdo it!

All the best to your mom. Physical therapy is tough at any age, but especially the older crowd!

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!

I love all those scents, unfortunately I have developed and allergy to strong scents and can no longer have them in the house. :x
