Good afternoon, everyone!

I'm back teaching today. I really don't like those days off! It's been an all right day thus far. Non-stop, really, though.

I hope everyone enjoyed the final Rudolph Day of the year. It's a more seasonal day in Ottawa today. No complaints for that. The snow has all melted in there is very little in our long range forecast, too. I'm sure it will return, eventually!

I purchased my plane ticket home today. I was worried that I would not be able to afford it and have to take the bus home. Thankfully, there was a sale of about $100 for the flight. I ended up paying $233. It's about $50 more than I wanted to spend, but a lot better than I could have spent. The bus would have saved me about $140. Still, I think it might be a little better to not be stuck on an overnight bus for 12 hours. The 4 1/2 hours of travel (including layovers) via plane is just a little better.

Well, I guess I should get to a few things. I have both the gym and hockey tonight. It's going to be a little busy. Hopefully I don't get too tired to skate. Oh, and I hope to still have some energy remaining for the pre-Thanksgiving party at the 'Pines tonight! Merry Christmas!

glad you got a good way home for a visit, I agree much better than the bus !
See you at the Pines !

So much for local weather! We've been having a whiteout for a couple hours, and now forecast says continuing through later tonight! [emoji301]️[emoji300]️ Hope roads are better tomorrow!

I really think you should all change your thanksgiving to the same time as ours and avoid all this bad weather ! Hope it clears up so you can travel safely.

Have a GREAT night MMC & a very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow if I don't make it back on here!!!

Stay safe everyone!!! Safe travels to all who are traveling!! Have a wonderful holiday!!!

very nice ! beautiful way to add sparkle to your home
You have a happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the day !!!!

 

[Christmasstar]

I will!
Safe and warm is right. It's so good to be in a snug, warm house when the sleet is rattling against the windows. Mr. and I had a late lunch, then he baked some chocolate chip cookies from store-bought dough. As I mentioned, I'm about to start working on the Christmas tree lights, which will make it feel even cozier! Even better, tomorrow's dinner fixin's are safely stowed in the fridge. We have Thanksgiving for just the two of us, so we get sliced turkey and sides from Boston Market and make stuffing and brown-'n'-serve rolls at home. Not fancy, but a feast!

sounds perfect ! Enjoy your day and your feast !

 

[Christmasstar]

Hoping that everyone has safe travels and delicious dinners tomorrow!

:family:

I'll probably watch the Macy's Parade in the morning and work on Christmas cards. We'll have dinner about three-ish, and may wind up spending the evening screening some 16mm film. There are some particular films we like to kick off the Christmas season with.

we are going to watch the parade too then off to look for a dress for me as I have two Christmas parties to go to this weekend.

Ok Carl says he could not get the radio city rockettes so he has a camel version for us never thought that 20 camels could keep in sync like that !

Have a great dinner tomorrow! The main reason I am cooking so much today is that for once I want to enjoy the Macy's parade without getting sidetracked..that is such a tradition going back to childhood,,I still love to see santa at the end!

SANTA!!

It's a tradition for me, too. When I was a child, we lived next door to my grandparents, who had a color TV set. My parents always made the Christmas fruitcakes on Thanksgiving morning. They'd send me and my brother next door to watch the Macy's Parade to keep us out of the way while they mixed up and baked the fruitcakes. After the parade my grandmother would give us a bit of lunch, then I'd head back home and my dad would go next door to watch football with my grandfather and brother. Me? I'd be listening to Christmas albums all afternoon, 'cause my mom wouldn't allow them before Thanksgiving! I couldn't wait to hear them again.

Hey! Come on out to the 'Pines. Things are really festive.
And that dancing camel line. Wow!

 

[MerryCarey]

Well! I got the lights and garland strung on the tree and set it up. I'll decorate it later this weekend. Couldn't believe that it took me nearly 3 hours to string lights on a 4-1/2-foot tree! But I took my time, and it turned out great. Mr. came in to see it, and we just sat on the sofa for a while looking at it. I'll try to get pictures later, when it's decorated. I'll try to get pictures of the piano, too.

That ceramic Santa with the open sack that I bought---I originally intended to take it to work to hold candy canes, but I just can't do it. He was a bit pricey, and I'm afraid of him getting chipped or broken there. I fell in love with him and want to keep him for good. So he'll stay here at home on my piano, and I'll put the candy canes at the office in a big Christmas mug. I'll get a picture of Santa later, too, once I think of something to put in his sack. I already have candy canes on the piano in an Irish crystal biscuit-barrel (cookie jar), and I like the way they look. Maybe I'll get some ribbon candy to put in Santa's sack.

It all looks wonderfully magical !! (In my imagination that is) you will have to post pictures when done .
Love the candy cane at work idea, I think I will borrow that to give out candy canes to the kids at my till .
