I am supposed to be working, but I just ate a bagel and am checking to see if anyone is in the Christmas chat room. At this rate, it is going to be a long night!

That actually made me snort coke out of my nose lol.

Tell me you mean Coca-Cola, and not coke ... Especially since your nose is involved!

Been singing this all day at work in the office and out on the Production floor. everyone just stares at me so here you go guys join me in the song, Plus this has always been one of my Favorite songs.

WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS by
Mame:
Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For I've grown a little leaner,
Grown a little colder,
Grown a little sadder,
Grown a little older,
All:
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.
Mame:
Haul out the holly;
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.
All:
Fill up the stocking,
Young Patrick:
But Auntie Man, it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now.
All:
But we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
Agnes:
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
Ito:
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
All:
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For we need a little music,
Need a little laughter,
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter,
And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after,"
Need a little Christmas now.
Need a little Christmas now.

Thanks, now it has also lodged in my brain! LOL

Finally getting a chance to check in here. Gone all day with the kids. The boys had to have blood work done this morning, then home to drop one of them and pick up DD to go get a few things for back to school.

We have a tax free weekend Fri, Sat and Sun so I'm going to try and get some shopping done.

I'n going to try and get caught up I hope everyone had a great day!!!!

tomorrows cake is baked , iced and has fondant on it and is "painted" with food coloring so it has overnight to dry. In the morning the decorations go on and delivered at noon.
Now I am going to read, if I can find another book since I finished the last one I was reading.
Good night all!

Reading the posts about this tread made me realize, I pretty much only post in this thread. I do some other threads sometimes, but I'm pretty dedicated to the countdown thread. :smile: That being said, I should broaden my horizons a bit and check out other threads. What are some good ones?

Do some fun and games, George Broderick really gets me laughing with some of his responses. I use to only do Fun & Games before I became a regular in the Countdown. I am trying to do them more again lately, because I have missed them a bit.

I'm guilty, also. But sometimes I venture out and go see other threads...I like some of the games, but I love the threads about Christmas Eve Celebrations, planning, etc.

Been gone since Sunday around two on a business trip, but I wanted to thank everyone who put in so much work for such a great time last weekend. I really enjoyed...

Good evening,

I am so confused, I keep thinking it is Thursday because I worked early on a Wednesday.
July is just about over, now it is time for what I feel is the longest month of the year.

Anyone seen any Christmas magazines yet?

I usually see them before the end of July, but nothing yet this year here.

I hope you all had a great Pines day.

Good night all!!!

HMG, your aunt and Bella are still in my prayers!

Thank you Meceka xo

I just talked to them and they seemed to have fun!!! My youngest niece was wore out though. She was passed out within 5 minutes of being home.

So happy to hear the girls had fun :-D

So since it is so nice out today I think after dinner me and the wife will take out Baby Harper for a nice walk. It would make it so much better if it was fall the leaves were changing and we had a few nice hot cups of Starbucks Pumpkin spice Lattes.

I have been thinking about Fall often lately when I go out for my walks, I am really looking forward to it!
