Good Sunday afternoon, my Christmas friends!
We spent most of the day on the go, first church, then lunch at mom's, then a trip to Sam's Club, then back to mom's, then to Nancy's parents'...whew. I'm glad to be home. And the pool water is finally clear!

Well, the long weekend is almost over, and now I have to plan to be in Birmingham at the corporate office most of next week. I haven't really minded the idea until today. I hate being away from my family, but sometimes you have to.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy!

Glad you had a nice day, have a safe trip Your be home in no time take care

Santa and some children - perhaps carollers - wait to be purchased from the shelves of Tinseltown. I want them both!

Santa appears to be overjoyed at the gift of Baby Jesus!:

I liked this decoration, but the lighting makes it appear much creepier than it should:

LOVE love love all the pictures, i wood have went on a real spending spree. so much nice stuff

I do my best! I truly wish that everyone could experience Tinseltown with me. I am sure that we'd all share the same magical feeling as soon as we stepped inside. It may have been 32c/90f outside, but I instantly felt as if it were well below freezing inside. Christmas has an incredible feeling that just takes over your senses. I am sure that it is a feeling we would all share.

i wish i could have to. what photo,s brent do you know if they are on line .your so lucky and thanks for taking the time to share

Hello all. Still awake, watching a western. I need to go to sleep, but kind of wrapped up in this movie!
I have got to be at the church in the morning as I am a pallbearer, so I need to turn in. Goodnight friends!

Hope all goes well today

I just signed up for the Ornament Exchange. I am really looking forward to it. Who else has signed up?

I did!!! I'm really excited to see who I get paired up with this year... Last year, I had the big guy here at MMC; Mr Westover himself, that was pretty neat~ :give:

Good Morning.

Alas, I'm alliteratively challenged this morning.
(Perhaps some guest contributions?)

While that is being considered, consider this:
Days to the Season: 128
Days to Christmas Day: 170
And with that, we have just passed under one week to the next Milestone, the 2/3 Season mark.
Then.....
Oh, then.....!

Hardly worth mentioning the weather. lt hasn't changed for quite some time now.
Humid and warm with an occasional rain.
A glance at our thermometer shows it reads 76 degrees here this morning.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks.
I hope and trust your week is off to a fantastic start!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a hot one here with a high of 87 this afternoon. It looks like we may also see some rain this evening. I have to take my aunt downtown this morning to run some errands. I'm hoping they don't take to long but I have a feeling it's going to take forever. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Shellie I would love the oppurtunity to hook up with either you or Maureen, etc... I think it's the thought that counts the most~ :-D

Good morning all. Have a great Monday!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm here at the office trying to catch up so I can be away for a few days. Elizabeth was awake before I left this morning, obviously not wanting me to go today. I promised her I would stop by the house to see her again before I leave. Love that girl o' mine!

I'll check in from the hotel this evening.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning!
It is going to be warm and humid today, with a high of almost 90 degrees and a chance of a thunderstorm. I need to call the vet this morning about Maggies cough. It seems to be flaring up again, not sure if it has to do with this nasty hot and humid weather or not. I'll see what the doctor has to say.
Not too much going on here. My husband went back to work after having last week off. None of the girls have to work today, I'll see if they want to do something with me later. I'm letting them sleep in this morning and I'm enjoying my coffee and the peace and quiet!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Brent, how could I order one of the countdown boxes?

Great question. You could contact Tinseltown. It is possible that they could ship it to you. If not, I could purchase another one and ship it to you. It was about $85, but it seems to be handcrafted and in great shape!...

I only know that they have a website at http://www.tinseltownchristmasemporium.com/ ... Unfortunately, there isn't an online catalogue. The store is not even a year old, but it is indeed magical. Ottawa is lucky to have it!
