The conversation of, "Is Santa real"? came up with my 2 older grandsons last night - ages 8 - 10. My daughter had to call me last night to break the news to me gently, I think she thought I was going to be devastated! I know they are getting older and it's expected. I am just happy my oldest grandson made it to age 10 before questioning! Heck, I was 7 years old when I questioned it. It all turned out good and their parents discussed about celebrating the spirit and of Santa. I am glad that they did not say, "yeah, you're right kid, there is no Santa"! Instead they told them about the real St. Nicholas, which I have told them before but they let them know he was real! It was a nice transition. It was funny though how my daughter called and was carefully telling me about it because she knows how much I love Santa and was not sure of how my reaction would be! :lol: Hey, the kids are normal and they are getting older! I expect that! It's all good! The kids will still love Christmas and they will still see me get excited when I see Santa!!! He's real to me! :transform:

You know, it's really cool though, these conversations usually come up during the holidays. Just goes to show that my grandkids think about Christmas year round like I do!

Good Morning, Crazy Creative Creatures of Christmas.



Marching on we are -- through the week and through our count.

As so noted:

Days to the Season: 128

Days to Christmas Day: 170



Now UNDER a week away from our next Milestone, the two-thirds marker to Christmas Season 2014.

(Wow. Just imagine. Less than a week to go to Milestone number ELEVEN. Just look how many markers we have passed already!)





The temps keep getting hotter and wouldn't you know, our A/C gave up yesterday evening.

Naturally, the two hottest predicted days of the week are today and tomorrow!

(Must be a corollary of Murphy's Law.)

We have started off here at 79 degrees already this morning.



Well, try to stay cool.....and have a Terrific Tuesday while you're at it!

Oh no! Hope it gets fixed soon! Thanks for the count.

Good morning friends.

Tomorrow we have a cool front moving through and it's going to cool us down to a crisp 92 degrees!

I'll take what I can get, though.

Have a great Tuesday.

Made, I love your CIJ tree!

Hello all.

This weekend is my anniversary and we are excited! Kids will be at grandma's and I'm taking my lovely bride on a date! Saturday will be 11 years. Time goes fast!

So does anyone have any romantic date ideas?

Happy Anniversary!!

I don't have any romantic date advice, though. Nancy can vouch for that. :wink:

 

[Bradmac]

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

We're back in the swing of things after 9 days of vacation. Nancy and I went to work, and Jacob is now working at Bernie's. Even Elizabeth went to Nancy's mom's to shell peas and cream corn. Then we took Elizabeth to play practice till 9pm. Yep, business as usual!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hoping you'll have a happy Tuesday!

Expecting a hot and sunny day here, which means the commuter trains will be delayed all day. They're so decrepit that they have to run them slower in hot weather or they'll break down. Bless the MBTA. I drive to work, but Mr. works downtown and depends on the train, so he'll probably be running late tonight.

Soo-oo sleepy. Woke up with bad dreams this morning. Ugh.

Well since everyone else is signing off, I guess I will too. I'm off to relax by the glow of my Christmas tree while watching hallmark movie channel.

That sounds wonderful, I hope you had a good night!

I can't believe we are under 130 days. It's amazing. Seems like yesterday we were at 200.

Going to be in and out the next couple of days. Heading to a convention. Yall be good!

Have a safe trip!

Morning all!! Its a lovely sunny start to the day here in the UK, just about to go om the school run then nip to the supermarket for afew bit before heading back home to do the usual chores!!

Watching the Tv yesterday and a my little pony toy came on, my youngest daughter started shouting that she wanted to put it on her christmas list for santa!! I was itching to find out the xmas list writing set I bought for them last year haha!! Still it wont be too long before I do actually ask them what they want santa to bring them! I like to start my lists around september when they have gone back to school!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Good morning Claire, I hope you have a great day as well!

Good Morning, MMC!!

Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Tuesday!!

Sorry about the bad dreams MerryCarey, I hate when that happens. I hope you keep cool and have a nice day!

Good morning!
It's going to be hazy, hot and humid today with temperatures in the upper 80's. I've been working on chores around the house all morning, can't believe how late it's getting already. I'm going to head out now to run a few errands. I'm also going to stop at the outlets to visit my daughter while I'm out since I will be nearby. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

How is Jacob liking his job?
Have a great day, Brad!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's been a stormy morning here in central Indy and it knocked my cable and internet there for a while. Everything is back up and running though and it looks the worst of the storms are done with for the day. Not a whole lot going on here. I need to get my normal cleaning done and then I want to clean out my pantry. I'll have Hallmark on in the background too of course. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!
