Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Crown 84]

Alot was packed into your post, 'Star.
Lots of truth.
And an appreciation not only for Christmas but for our little home-away-from-home site here.

Thanks for an excellent contribution!

I treated myself to two ornaments. Kind of old fashioned looking but I like that. Sorry about the glare on the glass of the first one.

Day 3 Special Post

All I needed to know about Christmas
I learned on MMC:​

Celebrate all year long​

Sing a Christmas song at least once a day​

Play games with others​

Laugh together​

Pray for each other​

Cry when your heart aches​

Bake often and share the recipes and pictures​

Watch Christmas movies, even in the summer​

Take lots of pictures of your furbabies to share​

It is ok to say Merry Christmas, happy holidays or Xmas​

Say thank you often​

Say hello to newcomers​

Believe in Santa…and​

Never, ever, loose the wonder of everything Christmas​

Christmas is coming again, as it does faithfully every year.
It will come no matter what is going on in the world and in our lives.

We together have faced a year of great joys, welcoming new lives into the world and great sorrows in saying goodbye to friends, family members and beloved pets.
Praying, laughing and crying together as we shared those moments in our lives that we just knew others here would understand.

From daily conversations, to those special times of community chats, Christmas in July and greetings on the podcasts. With the ornament exchange and the mailing of Christmas cards, we bring Christmas into each others homes from around the world. Our very own Kringle radio keeps us dancing to Christmas tunes all year long. Of course we cannot forget the main event party of the year, “The Worlds Largest Christmas party”!!! The only one you can attend without the worry of what to wear.

So celebrate the birth of Jesus and the miracle of His coming. Get together with family and friends. Believe in Santa Claus and his magic. Give to those who are not as blessed as you are. Brighten those dark nights with bright lights and beautiful decorations.

​

Be excited, the Christmas season is about to begin!

Great post, Star. Superb!!!!!

So what car did you end up going with?

2013 Chevy Traverse. It only has 12,000 miles, so it is basically brand new. We've bought our last 4 vehicles at this place that we go to. This place is awesome. They've sold 200 cars already this month. They're making the money for sure! Anyway, I LOVE it.

 

[sugar142286]

Congrats on the new car!!!

Thanks Festive Spirit! :hi:

Morning !! I hope you all had a good Saturday! I popped in very quickly last night but although I could read posts, it would not let me post. Thankfully it's fine this morning.


Yesterday was spent mostly doing odd jobs around the house! I managed to get a lot done. I feel really great about this !
I am getting ready for a day at work so I must run but wanted to wish you all a good Sunday! As I will be in the city later I will get to see the lights and decorations throughout the city. They switched on Christmas lights on Friday and I am looking forward to that!! Tis the season!

See you all tomorrow!

Have a good day at work! Enjoy the scenes while you're out in the city!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a warm day here with a high in the mid 50's. Not much going on here. I've been dealing with my niece's this morning and reading through things on here. I'm dealing with a headache and didn't sleep very well so I think a nap is in order this afternoon. I don't know if I will get it though with the Colts playing this morning and then the race later this afternoon. I'll try to catch up some more on here too. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sugar142286]

Good morning!
It is going to be sunny today with a high of 55 degrees.
Not too much going on for me today. Unfortunately the girls all have to work again today. And my husband has a few things to do around the house. So I am going to head over to my parents house by myself to have lunch with them. My brother will also be there with his wife so it will be nice to visit all of them. I will meet up with my hubby and kids later today for dinner. I hope everyone is well and has a very happy Sunday!!!

Enjoy your day, HmG, as well as your visit with your family!

So yesterday and again this morning my wife said we can decorate for Christmas anytime I'm ready!
She usually wants to wait but this year she has given me carte blanche! Oh the possibilities!

Good morning everyone!

A new day. A new incredible special post. Thank you, again, 'Star. Best of luck to Ballcoach and Xmas as they put the finishing touches on their posts and prepare them for their respective debuts.

Kim and I managed to make it to Cornwall and back yesterday. We made a few visits to her family while we there. It was nice to see them again. Last night was quite snowy! Wet snow began at about 4pm and persisted throughout the night. It managed to remain throughout the evening, but appears that it has since melted this morning. However, with this cold spell, there is a chance for snow until Tuesday, when more seasonal temperatures return.

As for today, not much is in the plans. We'll have our final big breakfast before the beginning of the Christmas Season and then watch the Packers game. Hopefully they can stay afloat with Seneca Wallace leading the charge rather than Aaron Rodgers.

Well, speaking of that breakfast. I should really get on it. We're missing orange juice, which is a key element for us. I will have to get on that before we start.

Have a great Sunday, everyone! Only two special posts remain. Only three days remain! The Christmas Season is so close!

Glad you were able to enjoy the time with your family!
