Christmas Countdown - 2013

[sugar142286]

Good evening, Christmas family! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Mine was good, just busy and tiring. We're very busy at work and I had to stay late today, so that made matter worse for my sleep pattern, but things will get better!

I am hoping one of these days I will be able to get back here and read the posts more, but I just haven't been able like I want. I will soon have to lay down and try to get a nap before heading back to work tonight.

I wish you all a great start to your weekend! Talk to you all tomorrow! God Bless and keep smiling!

Xmas: I was thinking of you today. Hoping your day went well.

Oh, I came across Michael Buble 'Christmas Album' at 'WHSmith' earlier today. I was thinking of getting it but I then decided to listen it on 'YouTube' first and see if I like it. So I'm now listening to it and I think that from now on I'm in a lifetime relationship with that album and Michael's voice. I'm definitely getting a copy! ^^

Good evening, Christmas Family!

I lost one of my outdoor cats today so it has not been a very good day. There is some research I need to do tonight so I will bid all of you a wonderfully MERRY evening!

so sorry, what happened?
Hope you have a better night.

We did not have black Friday at our store, just a few people who acted like we did.
We had a family in today who spent the entire time at the store and checkout fighting with each other. My goodness, it was so noisy for awhile. They were yelling at each other and then one woman started fighting with a two year old who had opened a bottle of shampoo. Then the other lady started yelling at her to stop it and open the paper towels and clean it up and how shameful it was that a 50 year old was fighting with a two year old. They actually got into a slapping match! It got worse from there and they took almost half and hour to leave! They were criticizing everything about each other. I felt so sorry for the poor child, what a crazy home to have to grow up in.

They truly fit the saying "All our customers make us happy, some when the come, some when they leave!"

That is terrible!!!! I feel sorry for the child too.

Hi all, just having kiev for lunch waiting for paint to dry b4 deciding if I need a second coat. I hate ceilings!! Especially how it looks like I've missed bits after neck breaking hours of work. Unfortunately the house is over 30yrs old and the previous owners did some unfortunate home renos. Even several professionals that I have paid to do plastering haven't done a good job and it fustrates me that I can't get it perfect. Oh well, I'll cover it with tinsel!!!

Hi everyone--hope everyone who celebrates it had a nice Thanksgiving! And if anyone here celebrates Hanukkah as well as Christmas, happy Hanukkah! My very favorite donut shop is making traditional Sufganiyah (incredibly good jelly donuts) for the duration of Hanukkah, so that's what I had for breakfast. Yum yum yum! I work today, but I'm planning to sneak out to check out the Plaid Friday events going on outside (and I'll even be nice enough to time the sneaking to my lunch break!). I'm debating whether I want to see Black Nativity this weekend or next--the trailer looks really good. Has anyone seen it yet? Or Best Man Holiday? Or any of the new movies? A Facebook friend said Frozen was pretty good. Anyway, have a great weekend, all!

Hi Anne!

My niece, nephew, and Mother-in-law saw Frozen & loved it!

I know that there are some Catholics on site, so I wanted to share this with you. Even non-Catholics might like it, if they like to cook. I receive the blog feed and follow on Pinterest and Facebook:

Hello all. Well we braved the mall today and it was packed!!! I have never seen it so busy. Anyone else shop? Snow, how did it go working in that crazy mess?

 

[snowflake22]

What a beautiful day here in the NC Smoky Mountains! The kids have played in the snow till they are soaking wet and freezing. Now they're ready for more LOL.

Nancy, mom & my cousin, Fran, went out Black Friday shopping and I haven't seen them since. That's not a good sign for my bank account.

i hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Sounds like a wonderful time all around, Brad!!

Good afternoon,

I survived!!
What a long horrendous night, we had a customer yelling at management saying he deserved something for free for being the first in line. Had another yelling because she didn't think she should have to wait in line to get the TV she wanted because she waited outside for 7 hours!!!??! The store opened at 1am for everybody not just for her. You couldn't move, you couldn't think. No matter how organized, and ready you think you are, there is no preparation for sheer chaos. I came home and passed out for 3 hours.
It's over and now I can focus on the upcoming greatest day of the year!!!!
Watching the "NHL Thanksgiving Showdown" Bruins vs Rangers, everyone is out so it is quiet here. I may start setting up the tree so we can decorate it tonight, just gotta find some energy.


I hope you all are having a great and safe day.

People can be so selfish & rude! Wow...
Sorry you had to be around such chaos & negativity.

Glad you made it through, friend!!

I've been thinking about you

Enjoy your evening!!

((Hugs))

It's so adorable! I'd love to have it. ^^



What a good breakfast! It has just made me hungry. ^^

Good evening everyone! And happy Friday too! Hope you had a good day. I had a fitness suite induction at the campus earlier. The fitness suite open now after a renovation which was finished last week. It's all brand new now and it's completely free to use for students. I'm excited to go back to my workout routine from Monday. Yay!

But for now, I wish you all a lovely weekend! Best wishes. xx :sparkle:

Happy Friday to you, Victoria!!

Hope YOU have a lovely weekend!!

I heard some crazy Black Friday stories on the news today.
I'm so happy it's over for you!
