Sooo busy tonight at work, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy first day of December, the first day of meteorological winter!!!! we had a cold rain this morning of 33F..boy was that a mess! goodnight everyone !

Good evening, everyone!

What a busy weekend! ...and a busy start to the workweek! Today, I only had 20 minutes off at school - aside from lunch. It's not quite legal, but I was happy to make sure that everything went smoothly. I think it makes sense to be a little extra tired tonight, especially after going to the gym!

The weekend was a lot fun. Fun and busy! Saturday, Kim and I visited a couple malls and saw Santa Claus - our first time this Season - at two malls. Can you believe he was at BOTH of the malls we visited?! We managed to pickup a gift for my dad. I'm still searching for my mom's gift. After that, I think I am done my Christmas shopping!

Sunday was fun as well. I was a little nervous throughout the day. Then, the Packers managed to pull out a big win over the Patriot! I hope everyone else enjoyed watching some football yesterday.

Well, folks, we have done it. It seems just like yesterday that we counted down in real time to reach the Christmas Season. First, we entered our Season, and now we have reached our month. Wherever you are, Christmas Time is, indeed, here.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

You and Kim are quite lucky!! To both see Santa in one day?!

That Packer game was a nail-biter!
So happy for the win!
Did you see Brady's meltdown? Sorry, I had to laugh!!

Have a wonderful evening, Brent~

Merry Christmas to you, Kim, and Simon!

We were actually around 30F today. I'm sure the cold will come soon enough!

We were both quite thrilled! I took some aerial photos. I'll post them shortly.

A nail-bited, indeed. I am usually reserved during regular season games, but I was very excited yesterday. I would have had the same reaction as Brady. It's an emotional game!

Have a wonderful evening, too, snowflake! Merry Christmas!

Glad you and Kim had a good day shopping!!! That Santa sure can move quick!!!

That packer game was great!!! The colts won by 20 but they played the redskins. So they really should have won by more. LOL!!

Merry Christmas, Brent!!!!

Tappatalk is great!!!! It's really helpful to try and stay in the loop while out and about!!

Yeah, I know...
But since I'm not a Patriot's fan, I was amused! [emoji51]

Looking forward to your photos!!

Thank you! [emoji319]

:dance:

Glad you found one!
I prefer the real tree.......love the smell of them....I have many fond memories...... when I was a young boy we would go into the forest behind my father's parents home and go searching for the right tree, just a week before Christmas....trekking through the snow, looking for that special tree we would dress up for the holidays. We always would choose the short needled pine tree, and oh the smell of the tree when we put it up in the living room.....ahhhhh.....I can smell it now.

I must say I LOVE.....LOVE your photo of the lights, my mother's father had those lights which were hung upon a very large and bushy tree in the front parlour, he was the only one that would decorate the tree..... I so enjoyed those bubble lights.......

We would decorate out tree in the same design as the trees are decorated in "White Christmas" on the stage at the Ski hotel during the last scene in the movie. I love how tinsel can be placed upon the garland, and the branches..... strand by strand, it's so graceful looking, and to my eye resembles a chandelier......and how it reflects the light......it's quite magical......memories are made of this....

Thanks for sharing.....and have a great week decorating good buddy!

Later!!!!!!!
​

I love a real tree, but I keep my trees up so long it only makes sense to go artificial. I love bubble lights, I have some on my tree now.
I loved tinsel on trees when I was younger, we have quite a few pets and tinsel really doesn't interact well with them. cheesy

21 days till Lovemas ...... Omgggggggg Yabba

I believe she is on Letterman on Friday, December 19 this year.
Countdown is a little lower. cheesy

Quote from Facebook:

#ThrowbackThursday ... I performed for the first time on The Late Show with David Letterman singing "(Christmas Baby) Please Come Home" in 1986 and I will now make my final Letterman appearance 28 years later on December 19th. Wouldn't it be nice if some other late night talk show decided to produce my annual Christmas gig with Paul Schaffer & the band once a year?? *****HINT**** XOXOXO Stevie Van Zandt,

Good Morning MMC !!

Daughter is all moved in , my living room looks like it was hit by two major storms now that all except one shelf unit has been moved out. Major cleaning to do and then on Saturday at last the tree goes up !!!

Van working again. They decided it was not the $400 fuel pump but the $15 wire connector to the battery. Doing the happy dance here !!!

Going through serious internet withdrawal! I have to wait 8 more days. Maybe I will visit my daughter and bring my lap top tomorrow.

Hope you are all doing well, have a fantastic day !!

ITS DECEMBER !!!!!

Glad to hear it was a cheap fix instead of the fuel pump. I hope the internet gets fixed for you sooner.

 

[xmas365]

Wow!
After all that, we simply MUST see a photo, either here or in the Blossoms thread.
......Or both!

I promise I will get the picture on as soon as I can. The lights and garland are on, just have to find time to decorate it.

I would appreciate prayers. My step-grandfather was rushed to the hospital this morning. He has advanced cancer and has not been doing good. He is not expected to make Christmas.

My grandma just lost her son (my dad) a couple of months ago and is about to lose her second husband to cancer. Prayers would be appreciated!

He and your family are in my thoughts.

 

[MerryCarey]

I hope things start slowing down for you soon, MerryCarey and that you get out of there here soon!!!!

Thank you!
I got home about 8:15. Today undid a lot of the good that the holiday weekend did me. But I only have to get through four days this week. I have a day off on Friday.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you!

Hi there,
it´s been a straining day today....when I got to my mom´s, she told me how bad our male cat Tiger is doing (both Tiger and Pacey and my mom´s and my cat....I left them with mom, when I and Kandice moved out....so she wouldn´t be so alone...and I didn´t want to get Tiger and Pacey out of their environment).........He must have been in terrible pain....he even laid down in his litter box....he wouldn´t run away if someone came to pick him......quite contrary....he wanted to be picked and cuddled.....He couldn´t walk no more....He was limping badly........We were crying and thought after all the struggles in the last 13 and half years....his life might come to an end..........We took him to the vet and were afraid he would not come back home alive no more...............Well.........it looks like he has athrose and straining or tore some ligament...that´s all........So eventho I´m sad he´s in pain.....I´m glad it´s nothing "serious"

I hope he feels better very, very soon. Sending hugs your way.
