Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Holiday]

I believe you meant, at "The Pines", did you not??? And binger, this one is WAY better than my "shispering pines" or the "fired twinkies..."

You guys are cracking me up!!!! :lol:

I think it is going to be so much fun, too. It will be such a great tradition. I have so many ideas, thanks to Pinterest. That site is amazing.

I think the Elf on the Shelf is such a cool idea! Our friends just got one for their youngest daughter. She is the the only "believer" left of their 3 kids, so they are going to have a blast with it! She printed off from the internet "101 Elf on the Shelf ideas" TOO FUN!!! ENJOY! Think I can get one for my hubby??? :lol:

Don't forget to post pics. I'll bet she will do so well!

Find me on Facebook - if you need my personal info again, just PM me. As much as I love everyone here, unfortunately anyone can see pictures on MMC, so that is why I don't posts pictures or names of my family. I can post pictures and can make them private on there.

I hope you understand!

Jennifer,
Don't forget to tell us what you decide. Which painting did you purchase? He did two or three paintings of my hometown, Christmas Town, USA (McAdenville, NC). I would LOVE to get those!

I am still trying to decide! I feel that Thanksgiving is too early in a way, but then she could enjoy it the entire Christmas season. I do not know for a fact if she would keep it up year-round or not. If not, I would hate to see it up for only a couple of weeks before it being taken down. I don't want to hint and ask her because then she'll have a good idea of what I am getting for her. This is hopefully going to be a big surprise. I just don't want to give it to her, say, Thanksgiving and have her be disappointed to get a gift that early. Since I only get my parents a couple of gifts each I don't want to ruin the fun of opening on Christmas for her. So torn!

I got her this painting:

It is called Christmas Evening.

Absolutely!

i hope you understand!

I can totally understand that. I don't know that I could wait either, but one pro to waiting is that next year it would be like a "new" decoration when she pulls it out to decorate! But then again - life is short - as they say "eat dessert 1st!" :smile: We never know what the future has in store, so enjoy every minute!! Gosh, I didn't help you 1 bit either!!! :lol:

 

[Holiday]

And by the way - it's beautiful!!! I would definately let that out all year!!! Great choice!!!

We just bought the Dean Martin Christmas Show DVD last night, and watched it before we went to bed. You might want to get it---it's a winner! We thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love Dino ~ thank you for the info, Merry!

I may be guilty of mentioning the Spugs too much ... but I just had to mention them again on their 100th anniversary. Wish I could find a genuine vintage Spug pin, but I really doubt any of them survived.

Have you checked with antique stores? Ask the dealers to check around for you ~ they have all sorts of contacts they can check with. Good luck!

 

[Meceka]

Oh I do wish I could have been at Bronner's with you !!!! xo

That would have been awesome!

Good evening, Christmas family

YOW !!! Am I ever tired tonight. Last night was amazing sharing the start of the season with everyone. Staying up past midnight, however, has taken its toll all day !! Oh well, it was worth it.

I think I am going to take Friday off to work on getting Christmas cards ready. If some of you happen to get the same card this year as last, I hope it will be okay !!!! I can't remember which ones I used for whom !!!

My rash is FINALLY going away from the Cele*rex.. UGH it was really bad. I sure hope the rheumatologist has something that helps all the pain and swelling. The arthritis is now starting to affect my finger joints or my metacarpophalanges as well as my toes (metatarsophalanges) In other words.........IT HURTS LIKE THE DICKENS !!!!

Have a wonderful Christmassy night dear Christmas family xoxo

I'm glad that med is working for you and I pray the rheumatologist will be able to help you! Hugs for you and your fur kids!!! {{{HUGS}}}

Sugar,
I went to your FB page. Hubby saw it and asked, "Is that some of your family?" I told him it was my MMC friend. He said, "Like I said, it's some of your family." I really smiled at that!!!

Hello everyone!
It's 12:30am so I'm just relaxing in bed, listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album (which is absolutely wonderful, might I add!) I'm up to speed with all of my work as of now, but it'll be back to the grind tomorrow.
Have a wonderful night everyone xoxo

I agree, Michael Buble's Christmas album is absolutely wonderful! Have a MERRY evening!
