Christmas Countdown - 2012

[caninemom3]

Mine as well!!!

My wife teases me all the time and tells me that it's not normal for a man to like shopping as much as I do, (heck I don't mind it at all when she shops for clothes either) she say's that I have too many of one and not enough of the other (the X and Y thing)...lol!

I don't know, I like to go, I'm easy to please just by looking around (window shopping) and I even get fascinated by looking at all the people there, etc...

My first late husband whose name was David LOVED shopping as well !!! It was such a joy to go Christmas shopping with him !!!! xo

Saturday we'll be having a special Christmas/movie party. We have a friend who does our outdoor work for us. Over the years we've had him and his wife and little boy in for a few times at Christmastime for pizza and a film show. Our schedules haven't meshed in recent years, but this year we're getting together again. Their little boy---the one who used to get bored with the movies and spill Coke on the rug and get wired on Christmas cookies---is graduating this coming spring and going into the Marines, and he's eager to have one more Christmas/pizza/movie party with us and his parents. Next Christmas he'll be somewhere out in the world with the Marines. It's touching to know that he remembers those movie shows so fondly, and wants to make one more memory of them. So it'll be a special evening for all of us.

This sounds like such a wonderful special party !!! The young man sounds like a very nice young man. I will keep him in my prayers on his journey xo

Good morning, MMC!

How are you all doing? I feel like it should be the weekend since I am finally on Christmas break!

As of last night, on top of my prayers for everyone, I added in that nobody is sick for Christmas Eve/Christmas and that your families are healthy, too! I hate to see anyone sick this time of year, especially since you are all just as much of Christmas lovers as me. I hope your families are healthy too and that you can all enjoy the holiday together.

Of course, my dad has been sick for about a week now. He doesn't have what took me forever to get over, but he does have a horrible cough. I woke up this morning and my throat is a little sore and very scratchy. It hasn't felt right since I have been sick, so I really hope that I am not coming down with that again and that this is just a fluke. I was sick for over two weeks! If I would get sick then I would definitely have it for Christmas Eve and Christmas.

On a better note, I am so glad to finally be on Christmas break. I don't know my grades yet, but I busted my behind this semester so I am hoping I did really well. Since I am on break, I finally started Christmas baking yesterday, yay!

We are supposed to get some snow later today throw Saturday. I have been hearing random amounts from between 2 and 6 inches. Then, the day after Christmas, we are supposed to get a snowstorm that brings 4 to 8 inches of snow. Is it so hard to give me snow on Christmas Eve?! I always wanted to wake up to it snowing heavily and a blanket of snow on the ground. Leave it to me to have snow right before and after Christmas!! :lol:

I have a lot to do today. I have to run around and get all of the grocery items for Christmas Eve and Christmas. The stores should already be packed enough because of the holidays, but now I imagine it'll be worse than Black Friday crowds since we are supposed to get snow. People around here go crazy when they think we are going to get even a couple of inches of snow.

I will check in later with everyone. I hope you're all doing well! I cannot believe there are only FIVE days until Christmas! Where has the time gone!?

I will be praying for your dad to feel better !!! xo And that you don't get sick again ! xo

Just dropping by for a sec before we start another busy day. Wayne and I had so much fun with our granddaughter yesterday on her Special Christmas Day. She was like a little princess getting to do her own thing. We took her to historic Downtown Grapevine, Texas (Christmas Capitol of Texas). She had so much fun looking at all the pretty things the stores had.

Look what was on the movie marquee at the theater in Downtown!

What a great line up of movies !!!!!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

LOL, that's right, it is supposed to be the last day
.
That means that my sister will leave the same day of the year she arrived, tomorrow is her birthday!
:razz:

A very Happy Birthday to your sister !!!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

That is great!

My husband, Snow-in-Texas enjoys shopping very much! We go to the malls and historic downtown shopping districts all the time. Because of him, I now enjoy going out on Black Friday. I never did until we got together. He said it was his tradition. I am glad he got me going because I love it! We do more "window shopping" than spending. It's just fun to hang out at the malls at Christmas time!

I agree !!!! Window shopping can be really fun !!! xo

Here's a hug for you, Caninemom! How is Wish doing today?

Edit: Sorry, I thought you posted that last night and now I see this is a new post this morning. I pray Wish will be okay. Sometimes my little chihuahua has days of not eating well then she is just fine. Hopefully it's just a little tummy ache and Wish we be fine later today.

Thanks so much for this !! xoxo
