Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good morning, MMC! I'm enjoying my weekend, and I hope you are, too. I'm a bit tired this morning, but feeling good. Not much going on here today-just a typical Sunday. More cleaning and getting ready for the workweek. I think snowflake22 inspired me, though--I'm going to put on a fall candle while I do it all!

Woohoo!! That's the spirit!
Happy Sunday, DYHWIH!!
Hope you have a merry day!

Last day to relax and do whatever until next weekend and the cat wouldn't let me sleep in passed 6:00. I got enough sleep so it's okay.
He has learned how to wake me up without my husband knowing he's disturbing me. He sneaks around to my side of the bed and taps my arm with his front paws. That ***** willow feeling always gets me up just in case it's a furry spider and not something else.
The smell of coffee carried me to the kitchen. Husband has already headed out to run a few errands and I'm still in my nightgown. HaHa.

"Merawll!" means "stay jolly!"

Good Morning MMC !

Lovely morning here, already was out for a walk, fed the mosquitoes.
Church in a couple of hours and when I get home have to finish decorating this cake.
Until then I am going to just relax enjoying the coolness of the morning.

Good morning, CS~
Hope you have a blessed day!

Good morning MMC!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. So far my Sunday morning has been quiet, I'm hiding from my youngest. If she senses that I'm awake then she'll come in here with non stop chatter about our trip and the events of today and mummy just isn't ready for that just yet.

We have church in a few hours and later this evening we'll go back for evening
service and a farewell dinner for families
relocating. should be a very nice Sunday.

I will check back with you all to see what everyone is up to today.

Good Morning, Ladybugkisses~
Merry Sunday!
Hope you have a blessed day!

Good morning!
Happy Sunday!
Not too much going on here today, I'm just relaxing and having my coffee. I'm going to take a ride to Trader Joe's later this morning. Other than that I'll be working on a few chores around the house. Should be a relaxing day overall. We're grilling burgers and hot dogs for lunch and eating out by the pool, it's going to be a beautiful day. My parents are coming for dinner, I'm making baked ziti and sausage & peppers. They've been at their place in Pennsylvania for a while so I'm looking forward to seeing them. That's about it for me.
Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Morning, HmG~
Happy Sunday!
Enjoy the beautiful weather with your family.
Hope you have a wonderful visit with your parents
Hugs to you all.

I didn't swear - just for the record - it didn't like the first part of the fluffy soft weed I was mentioning in that post.

Thank you! I'm also building my Christmas iTunes library---it's going to be so big, I don't think there will be space enough to sync it!!
Christmas Tree Shop does not have Christmas stuff year-round. It's seasonal decor plus bargain-basement items. Ours has an excellent health-and-beauty section---we can get stuff that the supermarket doesn't have, or less than the supermarket charges. It's also where I found the Mixmaster stand mixer for $50. And sometimes they have U.K. brands of tea at nice prices.
!

Thanks for the info on the store. I plan to check it out real soon!

I starting building a Christmas playlist on Spotify. I am up to over 8 hours of music - 192 songs and still building the list.

I hope you didn't have to turn your heat on with temps that low.

I am digging out the sweaters now and ready to put away my summer clothes. That 98 degrees is going to be quite frigid!

Garden Ridge is stocking full tilt - each time I stop in I see more

We stopped by there the other day and saw lots of Halloween and Christmas goodies! They actually changed the name of the store but it is still identical layout and stock of Garden Ridge. I keep calling it that anyway! I call it that so much I forgot what they changed it to! !t's called Home (something?)

Good Morning, Everyone!

I'm pleased, surprised, and shocked:

Pleased at the fantastic and imaginative job that our good member DYHWIH did with the count this week, including seeing us safely through the 100-day Season Window.
(A Heaping Holly load of Thanks!)

Surprised at where the count is.
Why..........it's starting to dwindle down into a bed post!
Could these number really be right?
Days to the Season: 96
Days to Christmas Day: 138

Shocked at the close proximity of the next Milestone.
It's the........now hold on to your mistletoe (and mistlefinger, too)............THREE QUARTERS MARK TO THE SEASON and it looms just FIVE days ahead!
(Hey! What is it with all these Milestones rushing in on us, anyway??)


Great weather for most of the trip to Hilton Head and Charleston SC, although on Thursday evening in Charleston, we had quite a storm/downpour with street flooding. Once that subsided, we had clear sailing and I even got some photos of a year-round Christmas shop in downtown Charleston. (Will try to post photos.)
Today has begun sunny at 70 degrees.


Have a Super Sunday, Folks.
It's wonderful to be back!

Happy Sunday, Crown!
Thank you & welcome back! Glad you had a nice trip =]
The numbers are so exciting!!
I agree, DYHWIH did an awesome job!!
Have a blessed day~

Aww! O'Malley is a sweetie! I just love the way our dogs and cats wake us up. They are so funny about it!

Ha ha!! I know, still makes me chuckle when that happens.

Good morning AMD!
One of my cats wakes me every morning, usually around 5:00am. She's a little stinker. Wish I could break the habit.
Have a relaxing and Happy Sunday!

Thanks - hope you're enjoying the day and keeping a merry thought in your head - as if I have to suggest such a thing around here.

Looking forward to our next milestone and counting down to the season with you!!
