Despite a world that is moving too fast and changing by the minute, we have a community that is steadfast in holding on to the very thing that harkens us back to a simpler time. It is a time of goodwill, and deep values of togetherness, thoughtfulness, and genuine concern and care. We have never "officially" met. Sure, we Facebook, yet we do not physically visit each other. However, we share with one another tragedies and joy. We send each other gifts and notes. We cyber visit and year to year we move ahead united with one thing in common: we love the holidays and we daily think about each other.

I repeat my annual refrain: in a world surely gone mad, we adamantly refuse to become cynical. We are together, we are community, we are genuine, and we are resilient. We are the family of My Merry Christmas.

And so it has come to this: four days until the season.

Just the perk I needed on this dreary, stormy day. Thank you so much for putting together a meaningful and true description of the MMC community.

This is beautiful binger! Thank you so much for starting my day off on the right note. I hope you have an excellent one! Four days til the season!!!! Woohoo!
 
Morning, MMC!

I'm one sleepy girl this AM. Slept so deeply last night I didn't even hear my husband's pager go off the first time. He got paged twice last night at 10:30 and at like 2 I think? I've forgotten already because I was so asleep! In any case, it was one of those nights where you sleep like a rock but also get woken up in the middle of it. And it's a MONDAY. Oh well. I could complain, but then I'd waste today, and I'm not about to do that!

Headed into work at the retirement community today. Lots to get done, but it's going to be a great one. I hope each of you have a wonderful day today--and that you get to spend some of it with the people you love dearly! Let's have a FAB FOUR days until Christmas season day!

Wouldn't that be lovely?


Sounds like you had a great day! The same feeling came over me about a week or two ago. It really cheers up your entire day. Enjoy the feeling!

And good morning, everyone! I hope you all have a great Monday!

Yes it does Coen. I'm glad you had that day already. Honestly some years it just hits me too late. I'd rather it hit me early and give me a lot more time to feel that joy. Have a great day.

Yes I'm excited about it. I was just thinking how awesome it's going to be when he gets here yet there's a million awesome things I have to do before that even comes which just made me crazy happy yesterday.

Excellent job binger. You hit the nail on the head!
 
Good Monday Morning MMC! It's currently 38 degrees under sunny skies. We are expecting a forecast high temperature today of 60 degrees with partly sunny skies.
As I stated last night it really hit me on Sunday that the Christmas season is really here. There's been years in the past where it just seems that the reality of it hits me too late. I just felt this vibe around me all day yesterday. Anyway, let's all have a great week and now even more reason to look forward to Friday this week. I believe November 13th has some sorta special meaning to us MMC people?
Have a great day. Talk to you guys later!
