Christmas Countdown - 2014

[sugar142286]

Hey everyone. I tried so hard to get on the site yesterday but not sure what was happening. The day was a good one for us but so very hectic! I am glad to have today to just relax and do nothing. I kept thinking about you guys from time to time during the day. I really hope you all had a fabulous time I look forward to counting down the next year with you all.

But ... we still have celebrating to do. So lets not rush the final few days of merriment. Continue to enjoy the rest of the season.

Best wishes!

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, Festive!

Good morning!
I can't believe it's over. All of that preparing and then it goes by so quickly. It was a fabulous day, as always. I'm looking forward to counting down to Christmas 2015 with all of you. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
My house looks like it's been ransacked. It's definitely going to take me a few days to straighten up. I'll start that later today. I plan on going to Hallmark this morning to see what kind of bargains I can find. Other than that, I need to work on a menu plan and grocery list for next week. That's about it for me today.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning, HMG! Hope you find some great deals today!

I hate that Christmas Day is already over too, but we have the whole build-up of next year and the rest of this season to enjoy!

We went to look at Christmas lights last night and this is one of my favorite houses. The picture doesn't do it justice - you have to be there to really appreciate it. Also there are way more details and I could not get it all in once picture.

Beautiful!!!

Merawll! That means, "363 jolly days to go".

As the years stroll along, I find myself looking to experience Christmas as a child again. I know I can never really go back, except through memories, to those glorious times with family, neighbours, relatives, pets, etc. That could be part of my disappointment when Christmas rolls around. I wake up on Christmas morning expecting to be back in my bedroom with the hand-painted 100-Acre Wood on my wall in my bedroom and I'm seven again.

Yet, I find at times I feel that special joy when I visit Christmas forums or when I see children in a line-up waiting to share their secret wish with Santa or Church Bells ringing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day calling across the city "come let us adore Him".

I recall with great fondness plodding off into the snowy woods to pick the best tree that would be transformed into a twelve-foot beautiful Christmas Tree standing tall in the corner nearly touching our Cathedral ceiling. My mom decorated the house while my brothers and I went to fetch the tree with our dad. We had an artificial "kiddie tree" in the family room that we decorated ourselves with plastic Disney ornaments and school crafts along with garland instead of tinsel. (My dad was the Tinsel King, he placed tinsel on our twelve-foot tree one strand at a time - no clumps allowed.)

Christmas at our house was perfect with the tree, the music, the company and the special food and gifts; the family togetherness was the best part for me.

Stumbling onto my first Christmas forum paved the way here and although I haven't been visiting as much the last few years as I have in the past, I think of you all dearly and keep you in my heart just like I do with those special Christmas memories.

So from my house to yours, I wish you peace, joy and fond reflections of Christmas past while planning for Christmas future and wish you well in the New Year!

Such powerful words and very Christmassy! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day out today with a high near 50 and the sun is already shining!!!! My aunt said the roads were terrible this morning though with a thin layer of ice on them. They should be better now though. That's good because I have a lot to do today!!! I need to go find me a new shirt to wear to the funeral tomorrow and then I will probably look for a couple of new Santa's. Need to pick up some cards for next year's exchange as well!! Then it will be back home to clean up around here. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Good morning, buddy! Hope you can get all your shopping done today! Hope you have a great day otherwise!

Good morning, friends! Hope you're all having a great day! We're just going through all the presents, putting everything away, and watching some movies.

Later this evening, we'll be having our last family Christmas, with my extended family. I work this weekend as well, so I'll be working tonight.

Hope you all have a great day, filled with Christmassy things!
