Anna lives the box our new Christmas tree came in. She's made it her "house" and has decorated it. She's been playing in it all evening and has asked if she can sleep in it.
I love the imagination of children!
So sweet!!

Good Evening, Buddy!!!! Hope you have had a great day!!!!
Here's the mantel...my wife is going to bring some chalk home from work Monday so we can write "Merry Christmas" on the chalkboard in the center.
It looks great!!!!
As you can see, Peppermint Patty returned from the North Pole today. Anna was one excited little girl!
I hope Peppermint Patty doesn't get in to much trouble while she is there!!!!
Goodnight, Xmas!!!!! Hope you can recover before you have to be back in tomorrow!!!

Fun!!!! My niece's are all about making forts right now. They would probably do the same thing if the box was big enough!!!
Goodnight, MMC!!

Yep! You're very welcome, Ma'am!
I feel like we're a virtually unknown cult over there!
(...and that ain't necessarily a bad thing!)

Thanks, buddy!
I slept well, and may actually head back to bed. It's the weekend, after all!
Hope you're sleeping soundly, too!

Good morning, MMC!!
Happy Sunday!
It's so nice & "warm" here! (normal temps for this time of year) At least for today! It's currently 45 degrees & raining, snow is melting. Harlowe seemed bummed when I took her out, but snow is in the forecast for tomorrow & Wednesday!
Wishing you a blessed day with your loved ones!

Good morning, everyone! I wanted to stop in and say hi! It's been a crazy couple of days at my house - my kids have been sick with cold, fevers, and such, they're both still not feeling 100%, but they'll get there.
We've also been doing a lot of things to keep busy - a lot of things at school, things for Thanksgiving, baton, decorating for Christmas, rode the Santa train yesterday, and we have a Christmas parade today, for EA to march in today.
Needless to say, I haven't had much time to check in. Hope all is well with you! I've been thinking about all of you and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers! Hope you're all having a great weekend!

I was listening to Carol of the Bells in my head and then noticed it was playing on Kringle Radio - maybe my eyes scanned it in the header and I didn't realize it until I was humming it.
Good morning everyone.
Today is the day we are decorating for Christmas. My daughter is so excited that it's all she's talked about since waking up this morning. Sure makes her daddy proud.
She is also hoping this weekend brings the return of Peppermint Patty (what she named our Elf on the Shelf last year). Anna is convinced she'll show up once the Christmas tree is up (she explained to me that the elf feels more at home when it looks like Christmas). I've heard tonight may just be the night ol' Patty arrives.
Have a great day everyone!
Elf on the Shelf reminds me of when I was little and my brothers used to pretend the characters from Land of the Giants were living in our house. They would stick needles and thread here and there and point by the rad and say, "There goes one!" and you know I'm sure I saw one once. I would have had such a grand time if they had Elf on the Shelf when I was little.
3/4 for me as I feel like I'm a wee bit behind - completed the shopping for the youngest grandchildren, who are the most fun to buy for because the others are content with gift cards or cool clothes, but I like buying board games, craft kits, toys and such and something Christmassy like an ornament or a merry novelty item. Getting into it BIG TIME now that the rest of the world is beginning to decorate, play music and catch up with the merriment of it all!
O'Malley doesn't know what to make of the snow. whines more than I do about it because he won't go on the balcony if there's snow on it and I think he wants to chase the snowflakes thinking there's a huge flock of small birds flying about. He's getting a carnival-sized dolphin for Christmas to replace the snake I had to throw out because he tore into it's jugular and the stuffing was coming out and when he was sick I thought he might have digested some cotton. He's my special education cat - but I love him.

HoHoHo and a pint of Egg nog!
I'm really looking forward to participating in the parade this year instead of just snapping photos. I imagine, I'll be warmer walking about than standing still. When the coordinator heard about my snowman costume, she asked me to be the one to hand out special stickers and fridge magnets to children along the route!
I have to reach back into my drama club days from High School to bring my snowman-self to life so the kids can feel extra jolly! I remember having to toss on a Santa costume one year when Santa was a no-show for my friend's kindergarten party. I had a great time.
Have an awesome day and keep a merry thought in your head!

Good Morning, Folks.
Like sand through the hour glass,
so are the days of our count.
The numbers, for the 2nd half of the weekend:
Days to Thanksgiving: 4 (Just over HALF a week left!)
Days to Christmas Day: 32 (One month from the day after tomorrow!)
Warmer this morning where we stand just over 40 at this hour.
The cold weather is supposed to back away for a couple of days......so we can properly welcome the wind and rain.
Oh well.
The Raleigh Christmas Parade yesterday was nice as always.
This is a REAL parade, not a "Broadway Side Show" like the Macys parade has become. I counted 21 Christmas songs played by the marching bands!
(Actually, if the truth be told, I prefer our local parade to the Macys one.)
Well. I don't have to worry about the Panthers loosing today -- they don't play.
Will focus on my other favorite team, the Packers!
Have a Super Sunday, Friends!

Good morning and Happy Sunday to you Snowflake!
Looks like we have warmer temperatures and rain heading our way this week as well. Should be clearing out by Thanksgiving though so that will be nice.
How is Harlowe doing? I hope and pray the medicine is helping her.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
