Christmasstar, praying your brother gets a good report. Let us know.

xmas365, great special post, thanks!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Nancy and I took Elizabeth to her ballet class yesterday evening, and we went to Lowe's and Walmart while she practiced. Last Christmas, we bought my mom an electric fireplace for her place in the mountains, but she didn't really want to move her furniture around to make room for it, so we finally took it back yesterday. LOL

Then Bernie wanted us to pickup some turkeys for him to smoke and sell at the store. We bought twenty-one 15-18 pound turkeys! People were giving us the craziest looks as we rolled all that down the aisle! The guy in the meat market got away from us as fast as he could. We had him helping sort the turkeys by weight.

I'm thankful for our veterans, especially today!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! We are going to see some rain this afternoon and falling temps once the cold front that has been hitting the midwest finally reaches us. We will go from near 60's at noon to in the 20's this evening. Brrr. I may finally be forced to turn on the heat. Not much going on this morning but this afternoon I have to go babysit my niece's for awhile. So hopefully the weather men are right and it's going to be a light rain again. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!
 
Good morning!
I'm having my coffee and I'm looking at samples of paint colors for the kitchen. My husband painted half of the kitchen over the weekend and decided he hated the color. I think he should just paint it white for now, lol. I want it to be finished!!!
I'm heading out soon, I need to pick up a few things at the supermarket. Not too much else going on. The girls all have off today, they're still sleeping. It would be a good day to take their picture for our Christmas cards. Maybe I'll take them out to lunch if they cooperate. Depends on what kind of mood they're all in, I never know what I'm going to get!
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!
 
A big THANK YOU to all of the Veterans out there and to all of those that continue to serve!!!!!

Special Post Day #4


"So the legend of Saint Nicholas is a lovely and delectable myth, the last living relic of the vanishing world of dreams. The fairies are gone. No little children or maidens watch any longer through the ardent summer nights to catch some echo of the songs. The witches are gone...Santa Claus alone still lingers with us. For Heaven's sake, let us keep him as long as we can.
There are some excellent people who are scrupulous about deceiving their children with such legendary nonsense. They are mistaken. The children learn to see soon enough, too clearly and too well, or to think they do. Ah, leave them at least one thrill of passionate mystery that may linger with them when the years begin to grow too plain and dull and bare. After all, in this universe of ignorance, anything may be true, even our dreams."-Gamaliel Bradford 1925

We are now two days away from the most magical time of the year, a time we all look forward to starting December 26 the year before. As our friend Ballcoach so eloquently put it, "Santa Claus is real."
In this season we have been looking forward to, I am a little hesitant to go through it as I usually do. My oldest is 9 years old, and I worry that this may be the last year that Santa Claus may exist for him. He was very skeptical last year, and a lot of questions were beginning to come. He would ask very vague questions, and we would answer how we could without ruining it for him. He wants to believe, you can see it, but I have a feeling that peer pressure is getting to him, and we will be telling him the everything sooner rather than later.

So this year let the magic flow, let Santa be the big guy to the children for as long as you can. This magic from my youth has made me such a lover of Christmas throughout my life that I want my kids to have that same feeling that I still get, the smile I get as Christmas gets closer. That feeling that fills your heart during this time of year. The warm smiles from strangers. The anticipation of Christmas morning that makes it so hard to fall asleep, and wakes you up before the sun comes up. Christmastime is nearly upon us, the build up of the season is culminating, get the decorations out, get the lights out. Make some cookies, and eat them as Santa would. Most of all share it with your loved ones.

Make the most of this season, enjoy it, and try not to let it go too fast. I look forward to celebrating this time of year with all of you again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
