Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Virginia]

Just about to go to bed and found the Royal Edinburgh Military tattoo celebrating the year of natural Scotland 2013 on tv. The hymns and pyrotechnics are beautiful!! I think I'm easing from full-on Christmas back into normality and avoiding PCBs

Hope you all had a wonderful day! I ended up working about 13 hours and am not as tired as I thought I would be. DH and I are just enjoying movies on Hallmark. The kids will be at school tomorrow, so we plan on just relaxing and maybe just doing some more after Christmas shopping.

I will catch up on the rest of the posts tomorrow. Talk to you all then. God Bless and keep smiling!

Good late evening/early morning MMC! Hope you are all doing well. We had the last of our Christmas parties today. All 2013 Christmas parties are officially in the books! At this point I am happy & I am sad. That was a lot of running...but a lot of fun too! My hubby has to work tomorrow (Monday) - he is off Tues & Wed - we both go back Thursday. Already dreading that. But at the same time, I'm happy to have a job to go back too!



This past Friday night we had my family over - whoever could make it - since it was the last night my bro/sil would be home. We had such a great time. We also had our neighborhood house hopping that night, which we didn't make it too until late b/c my family stayed way later than expected, but that was great - we needed that! Anyway, we caught up with our neighbors at the 3rd house, we stayed out too late & we had a ball! Saturday morning my friend & her daughter came over. Her daughter used our internet to upload some of her artwork for a college scholarship (theirs is really slow) & my friend & I hung out -she did some stitching on blankets & scarves while I made salads & snacks for our Christmas parties. Last night was Christmas with my cousins on my Dads side (party was at my brothers house) - then our friends came knocking on our windows about 10:00 last night. Crazy nuts stayed too late but again, we had a great time. Today we had Christmas with my hubby's family which was very nice. Tomorrow I am taking my great niece & 2 great nephews to see "Frozen" & I am really looking fwd to that!!! Looking fwd to Tues & Wed when my hubby is off work. He needs some time away from UPS! :-?



I'm watching "Meet The Santa's" right now - for the 9th time this year (exaggeration) but I still love it! I'm getting a little sad that there are only 3 days of Christmas movies left on the Hallmark channel. Good thing for DVR!!



I hope all is going well for all of you & you are still enjoying some fun Christmas/ Holiday activities!!!!

Sounds like a lot of wonderful Christmas celebrations!! Love it!!

Have fun with your great niece & nephews at Frozen!!

Thanks, friend!!!

90 percent of the cases here are drug related. So if I get on a trial, I'm sure that's what it will be. I doubt they would start anything that might have the possibility of running longer than one day, today.

Well I'm off to the court house. Have to be there by 8 and parking is a half mile to a mile away. So it will be a nice brisk stroll. We aren't as cold as Snowflake but it is 12 degrees with some flurries out. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY and that I see you this afternoon!!!

Good Morning.
Chilly here (37) as we near the new year.


There is the two minute warning in pro football.
Here, we have the two day warning.

At midnight tomorrow, this thread will lock permanently and "Christmas Countdown - 2014" will launch as soon as I can get it up.

Transitions. Sad.....but exciting!

My prayers are on the way.

Thank you Meceka, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning Snowflake!
-16 degrees sounds painfully cold!
We are going to have much colder temperatures by the end of the week, I'm not looking forward to it.
Try to stay warm!

Good evening, MMC!

The almost-migraine I had earlier today is about gone so I have been trying to get done all the things I was supposed to have already finished. For some reason I am moving very slow, though. Earlier today I took a walk around the yard - one of the pine trees had several limbs that broke from the weight of the ice and snow. It was rather sad to see as I've always thought that tree looked happy. I really hope the tree can recover from the breaks - I'm sure if any tree can this one will!

Merry dreams and a MERRY Monday to all!!!

It feels like a fresh new world when pain abates doesn't it? I love trees and plants of all kinds. Are pine trees resilient? I would imagine they must be to survive extremes of temperature ...

it is unusual for a pine tree to loose branches as they are very resilient and built to have snow slide off and branches to bounce back. But when a layer of ice is on first then heavy snow on top of that it is amazing the whole tree did not fall over.
I hope it recovers from that, it leave such a bare spot when you have to remove a tree.

I don't call 10% off a sale! These trees were originally $99 aussie dollars and that's without the ornaments and on close inspection it's wire and loose glitter. 50-75% off elsewhere so I got some lovely stuff. Not actually what I needed but an excuse to keep looking

that looks easy to make, I make smaller versions of that as the frame work for trees that go on some cakes. I then cover them with sugar paste and paint with food color.
As for shopping, any excuse works!!

Oh my, you have been busy! All of those plans sound like a lot of fun, I'm happy you have been enjoying yourself. And I'm glad that you're husband has a break coming up. My brother delivers for FedEx, so I know what you are taking about.
Have fun at the movies!
