Christmas Countdown - 2014

[made582]

Here in Ontario beer and alcohol have always been sold in specialty stores, never in convenience or grocery store.
Many are working to change that and the beer stores are now lauching these ads..

I know in the States you sell in convenience and grocery stores, is selling to minors a problem there?

The big name store's are very strict about checking ID's. You hear a lot about some of the smaller privately owned stores getting busted for selling to minors though here.

I would love to see them over my house!

I am sorry they canceled the shows!

I guess you need to come down some time! We use to have just one big air show per year, this year 2 air shows! One of them just now and the other one will be in October with the Thunderbirds!


I missed the original post but what sale are you talking about??? I want in on it!

I don't know!!! I might melt in the heat down there during the summer and fall!!!! LOL!!!!


We were talking about Goodwill. I know here in the midwest, everything in the store is half off on the first saturday of every month. I'm pretty sure it's a nationwide thing though.

Good Morning my Christmas Friends!

I sure hope Coach is okay!!! Scary stuff on the news!

Good Morning, CAH!!!!!! Hope you have a great day!!!!


It looks like the worse missed him. He probably got some pretty heavy storms though.

Whew!!! Crazy night at the carnival but went about how I expected. Was just supposed to go and help out if needed and ended up running the food by myself after the other 3 people disappeared. 2 of which where my family members!!! Then had to stay and do most of the cleaning while everyone else was standing around talking. Oh well, like I said, that was what I expected to happen.

Now I'm exhausted and going to head to bed. I'll catch up tomorrow.

Goodnight, Everyone!!!!!!

Sounds frustrating - again, you are a good uncle/brother!!!

Merry Morning. It is Saturday , My favourite day of the week.

We located the problem in the kitchen, a burst pipe line. Mr. Festive fixed the pipe straight away so now it is about getting the water and water logged under flooring to dry out. I could do with a few days of dry, warm weather right about now but no such luck...........

Anyway these things happen, it's part of life and there are far worse

I am at work tomorrow so I probably won't be back till Monday.

Have a fun filled weekend filled with all your favourite things!!

I'm glad the leak is fixed & hopefully you are dried out (or close to being dried out) by now!!! Hope you enjoyed the rest of the weekend!

********** MILESTONE DAY **********




Good Morning, Christmas Crusaders.

And we have marched straight on into yet another Weekend.
A Weekend that sees us to two concecutive Milestones!

First up -- today -- the ONE-THIRD MILESTONE TO CHRISTMAS DAY.
Tomorrow -- the 200-day Season Window.
(Back-to-back markers! Does it ever get any better than that here at MMC?)

Days to the Season: 201
Days to Christmas Day: 243


Nice weather yesterday until late afternoon when the rain and lightning moved in.
A tornado was spotted near a town northeast of us but we had no warnings here.
Looking for a nice, warm, calmer day today where we have started out at 54 degrees.


Have a Sensational Saturday Milestone Day, Good Friends.
And remember -- you are the keepers of the Christmas flame, and you can hold your heads high!

:dance:
I'm glad the tornado didn't hit your town! Scary!

Good morning folks. I hope you all have a great weekend. We have some severe weather in tonight's forecast, but other than that there's not much going on here. If the rain holds off I hope to so some grilling.

Enjoy your Saturday friends!

I hope the severe weather missed you!! And I hope you were able to do some grilling - one of my favorite things!

Good morning!
We are expecting rain on and off today, with temperatures in the upper 50's.
Not too much going on for me today. My husband just left for work. The girls all have to work for a few hours as well. I will be working on my daily chores and I need to go food shopping at some point.
We found out last night that one of our nephews popped the question to his girl and she said yes. We have 17 nieces & nephews and this is the first one to become engaged so its super exciting for us. Kind of makes me feel old though!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Congrats to your nephew & future niece-in-law! I already have 4 nephew-in-laws & 9 great nieces/nephews! :smile: So fun!

Pack? Where are you headed?

I'm running away!!!!! LOL!!!!


I'm headed 13 hours north of here into the great north woods to do some camping with my friends over the weekend. I'll be leaving late Thursday night and getting back Monday evening. (As long as Greyhound doesn't leave me stranded in Chicago)

Good rainy morning MMC! It is pouring down rain right now! Better to have a rainy Monday than a rainy Saturday or Sunday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I haven't caught up on posts at all, but I'll see what I can do about that!

Friday night we had no plans. We stayed out at the lake, Jim went mushrrom hunting & when he got back we walked to the tavern up the street to grab a bite to eat, hung out with the neighbors. Saturday we sat outside most the afternoon, birthday party for our nieces Saturday night, then we met friends/neighbors back at the lake. Yesterday was our friends sons bday lunch, then I sat outside at our friends house while Jim went mushroom hunting - no luck finding mushrooms in 4 woods. Hopefully this warm rain will make them pop! And here we are - back to Monday! This should be a quick week - Tuesday night I'm going with my sister/Mom to see God's Not Dead. Thursday night we are taking our friend Teresa out for her birthday! Tonight I should do some cleaning, but this rain makes me want to watch a movie & nap! Lol!

Have a great Monday everyone!!!

Sounds like you had a great weekend!!!! Enjoy all of the fun stuff you have planned this week!!!

At the start of the year I had planned to try to keep up with this thread and follow some of the conversations taking place, but it moves way too fast for me!! I haven't posted for a while but I still visit often and just LOVE the Christmas spirit that abounds. Hope everyone is having a good day.
:!!

Stick with us, Magpie, and you'll begin to know us. It seems hard to keep up at first. I think it was a year or more before I posted regularly on the Countdown. But this is the place to be for year-round conversation. Just jump in and tell us about your day, and the rest will follow. Most of us have busy days, too, and just skim through the posts. We'd like to see more of you!

I've never noticed it being a problem. I get carded every time I purchase an adult beverage, so everyone seems to follow the law pretty well.

Almost lunch time...I will have to catch up more later!! Wish the rain would stop long enough for me to let 2 dogs out! :lol:

 

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's already been a stormy morning here and it looks like there will be more to come later this afternoon. We are under a moderate risk of tornado's but not as big of a risk as those down south. The picture's coming out of Arkansas this morning are just heartbreaking. I need to sit down this morning and make a list of things I need to do this week before I leave. I guess I should put pack at the top of the list. Right now, I just have piles of stuff all over my bedroom. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Stay safe, buddy!!

Happy packing

xx
