Many merry moons ago, I was reading about Feng Shui colours and GREEN is associated with calming tranquility, purification, and nature. That's what I felt viewing your photos so it must be true.

I still prefer traditional Christmas flicks and animated specials to the majority of merry offerings they have available these days.

That handsome happy cat looks like my O'Malley - sometimes when we go away for a weekend and leave him, we place one of our PJ tops on the sofa or his cat bed in case he wants to snuggle with the smell of us. I bet if we set up a ***** cat camera, we'd discover he's sleeping on our bed when we're not here. Maybe next time, I'll leave him with my Christmas nightshirt.

All of my out of town ones are gone - still have the gang at work and the neighbours to do. There's so little time - I'm feeling the pressure now - I meant to start after Thanksgiving, but it didn't happen.

Breathe easy - near panic time for me - thankfully I have a bit more time to finish my shopping, make my holiday fudge (that I don't eat), etc. In case I forget to mention it at the close of this thread - thanks for keeping this merry countdown going!

I'm looking forward to the big merry party and the podcast - hope my tablet can handle the listen now feature - sometimes it cuts out on me. My laptop isn't connected to the internet anymore - some kind of WOOPS on my end.

Woosh and shwoosh indeed!

I tried, but I couldn't get into it.I saw Peter Pan on Ice when I was little with my brother, mother and a friend of hers who was introducing us to her newly adopted daughter and son who were about the same age as us. My teenage cousin was living with us at the time and she had a friend named Wendy so I started calling her boyfriend Peter Pan. That all came flooding back when I changed the channel.

My mom has had a few bad falls since her stroke because her depth perception is a bit out of the ordinary. I can only imagine how painful that must be considering how brittle her bones are. I've got Hilda covered in the Northern Sector.
A friend of mine from work was visiting the doctor for a bone test and as I always try to add a touch of humour to spooky situations, I suggested - well actually pleaded with her in a fun way to hum "Dem Bones". When she got back, I asked if she did and she said, "No, but I started smiling for no reason because it was in my head." Mission accomplished, I put a smile on her face.

Thanks, AMD!! I love that!
Green it is =]

I do the same thing for Harlowe, leave a shirt of mine with her when I am away.

I bet O'Malley is comforted by that. Even better, a Christmas shirt! [emoji172]

Hope you're having a Merry Friday!

Friends I'm asking for prayers tonight. I dont even know their names, but there are two children at the school where my wife teaches who were afraid to go home tonight. The police were called and they came out but they stated without more evidence of a crime, they couldn't do anything. I hate the thought of these kids being afraid and possibly being abused. It's just eating me up inside. Prayers for them would be appreciated!

Praying hard for them, Ryan.
That is so sad & scary!

My prayers are on the way, Friend.

That is a terrible thing to think about.

It's so hard to let them go when you fear for them. I worked with so many children in group homes and heard and read so many horrible stories that I'm sadly almost desensitized by it - still every sad story manages to break my heart. Hope it turns out to be a good news story - I'm praying for them.

Ryan, I am praying for them, too.

Meceka · Dec 5, 2014

Good evening! I was able to do some shopping today & I did pretty good. I crossed a few more things off of my list which made me very happy. I'm going to try & get some sleep now, I can't keep my eyes open. I hope Maggie has a better night. Ironically, Molly started coughing this afternoon. So who knows what kind of night I'm going to have. I may end up bringing both dogs to the vet tomorrow, we'll see. Oh and I forgot to mention that the kitten has been sleeping across my neck at night, lol. I'm so sleep deprived! Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Enjoy the rest of the evening. See you in the morning. Goodnight everyone!

I will be so glad when internet is back on, I miss visiting with you all.
Some cards are arriving THANKYOU, they are a joy to receive. Some Are signed with your real names so I have had to do some investigating to figure out who you are on here. ( got it now ! )
Doing a princess cake for Sunday, getting van fixed tomorrow and hen have 30 loaves of arisen bread to make next week.
Hope you are all well !

Hey there, how is life treating You guys?

I still have my cold...but am sure I will get better soon. On Saturday, my uncle has invited us to have lunch with him at an Bavarian Restaurant and then we will go to the big Christmas Market in Mannheim

I'm so envious! I really miss the German & Austrian Christmas markets.
