Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, Friends.

Things are really starting to get frightening.
Just take a look at the latest numbers batch:
Days to Halloween: 2 (Why! That's the DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!)
Days to the Season: 15 (TWO WEEKS FROM TOMORROW!)
Days to Christmas Day: 57 (EIGHT weeks from tomorrow!)

(Things are starting to get as scary as Carl's haunted wing tour last night!)


Warmer yesterday with lots of humidity. The rain tapered off somewhat but was still present. I'm looking forward to a clearer and sunnier day today.
It has begun at 65 degrees here in our part of MMC. It's very damp but no sign of rain.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
(Closing in on Weekend Eve once again!)

Thanks, Crown~
Have a MERRY Friday Eve!

Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning, Ryan~
Have a GREAT day!

Lucky you!!!

Come enjoy it!
It was pretty at first, but quickly became windy, icy, the type that hurts when it hit your face
But when I was home, and sitting in front of the fireplace, and watching it from the cathedral window, it was lovely!

Indeed, and with leap back day approaching, I can just sleep on my costume!

But Folks, on to a serious topic.
<< Well, what could be more serious than sleep, Crown? >>
You've got a point there, little voice.....

The Season start date (Nov 13) is rapidly approaching. It's time to begin serious thought about our five-day Special Post series! In years past this has always been a top highlight of the days immediately preceeding the Christmas Season beginning.

Now, we already have one signed up: Christmasstar, who requested any date. I assigned her to Nov. 10, Day 3 before the Season.
I will assign Nov. 9 to Binger, their long-standing traditional day, unless they want a change. Bing?

That leaves Nov. 8, Nov. 11 and Nov 12 open for any first come-first served writers.

Check out last year's thread to get a feel for what this is like, if you haven't been here in years past. Great fun, wonderful sentiment and a perfect lead-in to Season Day one!

Love this tradition, the special posts are magical.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

The kids will be in competition with their one-act play this afternoon, so I'll be leaving work early to attend. I told Jacob that while he's playing the banjo on stage, he needed to play a bit of "Dueling Banjos" from the movie Deliverance. I bet that would draw a laugh!

When we get this competition behind us, maybe we can focus on Nutcracker even more. I'm really excited to see that again!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Friday Eve, Brad!
Best of luck to Elizabeth & Jacob!
Have a wonderful day

Good advice MC!! You should have seen my 1st afghans. LOL

Mine were parallelograms! But I kept making 'em, because I enjoyed it, and a few years ago someone complimented me by saying, "Wow, your stitches are so even!" And remember, if you're making an afghan from a printed pattern and it isn't very even, sometimes it's the pattern. And furthermore, usually an afghan in use is wrapped around someone, not all spread out---so who notices if it's not a perfect rectangle or square?

Thank you! She was stable overnight - less drainage than during the day. Hopefully will have results today if the fluid taken from her heart is malignant. Ugh! Praying...

Thank you for the update. Glad to hear she was stable overnight.
Continued prayers <3

Geez!!! Hope things were running smooth this morning!!! xx

Thanks, Holiday~
The roads weren't too bad, I took it slow.
The rain/sleet melted most of the snow. And it was slightly above freezing when I left.
All should be well if it stays that way!

Good morning snowflake! Safe travels today!!! How awesome that you have tomorrow off for a nice long Halloween weekend!

Good Morning, Holiday!
Happy Friday Eve!
Thanks, I'm so looking forward to it!

Sounds like a great day! Enjoy time with your Grandmom & Noel!!
Putting lights up next week when it's supposed to be in the 70's is a great idea. I'll mention that to my hubby. I can about imagine his response...

Have a fun day!!

Good luck!

 

[snowflake22]

It's just hard to imagine looking out my window right now & seeing sleet/snow!!! Stay safe my friend!

Thanks again, Holiday!

Friday Eve sounds MUCH better! Hallmark keeps advertising that their Christmas movies start on Saturday but according to the tv guide they actually start Friday night at 10:00! Woo Hoo! So excited!
Have a great day Edge!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Hmm since a few people have recently told me I should be a writer (I think they're way off lol) I will take November 8th if nobody wants it.

Truth! Mere days now!

Good morning!
Happy Thursday!
Not too much going on here today, I just have to run to the supermarket for a couple of things. Other than that I'll be working on my daily chores. The crochet class that I signed up for is later tonight. I'm getting a little bit nervous, I hope I catch on and don't embarrass myself! That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Sure there is no need to be nervous!

Hav a great day!
