Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

That sounds really nice. I will celebrate both with my mom/siblings like usual. One of my brothers moved out to San Diego a few years back. At first it was like wow that sucks but oddly him coming back here for Christmas each year has made it even more special.

That is so true, coming home for the holidays is Christmas magic! Enjoy the special moments with your family~

Yeah when he comes here he says it feels like Christmas...although by around Dec 27 he is like I'm ready to go back to 70 degrees and the beach .

Good Morning, friends~
Merry Sunday & HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!!
I plan to take down my Halloween decorations today, and make way for Thanksgiving & Christmas!
But right now, I plan to enjoy some Hallmark and coffee in front of the fireplace.
Have a blessed and merry day!

Enjoy your day of Hallmark!!!

I have the best wife ever! Ok, so I mentioned before that we would start putting up Christmas decor next Friday. Well, last night my wife came home from taking our youngest trick-or-treating with his cousins. She then said she had an idea... so to make a long story short, the Christmas tree in our bedroom was put up last night as we watched Christmas with the Kranks.
We had put up a Christmas tree on Halloween 10 years ago when were were still dating.
This morning, my youngest son (Henry) who LOVES eggnogg, and I had created a plan to go get eggnogg as soon as we woke up. So that is what we did.
Let the Christmas season begin!!!

You do have the best wife ever! Nearly 20 years ago I had a next door neighbor who would take their kids out Trick or Treating, come home to take down the Halloween decor and set up all their Christmas decorations inside and out on Halloween night! The neighbors all around grumbled (except for me) that it was just too early but you know what??? Those neighbors who grumbled ended up setting all their stuff up a few days later! It was great! Because of those neighbors, I have been doing the same since!

I'm having Thanksgiving, for my side. They are making the trip up north.
My parents are snowbirds in AZ, and are leaving earlier this year, so we are celebrating both with my side over Thanksgiving.
I will still make a big dinner for Adi & I for Christmas, but won't have a to of people. We usually invite neighbors, and friends over, who don't have family in the area, too.

How about you?

Very kind of you all to invite people over that do not have family nearby. You are a blessing!

My son is collecting vinyl. His record player gave out, so we're getting him a new one for Christmas. I'm tellin' ya, it's making a comeback. By the way, you can buy the soundtrack for the new Charlie Brown movie on amazon in CD format for $13. Same music on vinyl: $30. Obviously, there's value there...

That is cool to collect vinyl! My dad never got rid of his vinyl and has a very large collection. He still has all my rock albums that I bought as a teen. I am happy he kept it all! It's nice to see the comeback!

Happy November 1st!!!

My hubby and I took the grandkids out Trick or Treating and had a blast!!! I love staying home to hand out candy but I love Trick or Treating more! We listened to a couple of spooky radio broadcast that MerryCarey suggested to us on our drive, it was nice!

Do you all remember recently I set up the tree to see if it will fit in an area of my den when I rearranged furniture? Everyone said to just to leave it up since I planned to have it up November 1st, thanks to your votes on that. I had decorated it with fall garland for now. It's still up and now turned on the colorful lights, fall garland will come down and the Christmas decor will go up! Yay!

Have a Merry Day my Christmas Friends!

Thank you!!
It will give me that extra push to take down Halloween, and motivate me to clean and prepare for my Christmas decorations!

Thank you so much
Very kind of you to say, CAH~
