Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Coen]

How exciting about Sinterklass! Enjoy the celebration and hope he arrives in good time Enjoy your party and weekend!

Thanks and likewise!
He arrived safely, despite the heavy fog his boat was in. They make up a problem every year, and this year they used some local folklore. It was pretty funny, but I have seen them come up with more exciting problems.

Good Saturday Morning MMC! It's currently 43 degrees with partly sunny skies. We are expecting a forecast high temperature today of 48 degrees under partly sunny skies. A chilly day but it is mid-November so it's not too far away from what it should be this time of year.
It's the first weekend of the season so I plan on watching as much Christmas stuff as I can. The cool thing about the first week or week and a half of the Christmas season is that it's pre-Thanksgiving and gives us a chance to enjoy it while things are still relatively calm. Once Thanksgiving hits all hell breaks loose for most of the world!
Prayers continue for those attacks in Paris. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Enjoy the warm temperatures! Hopefully you have a great weekend

Christmas Day!..."

I'll make sure I'm not running any workshops the following day so I can be here LIVE and in Cyber-Person to greet the season with y'all.

Not to correct the great binger but I think it actually is on a Saturday night...because of leap year it will skip over Friday and it will be on a Saturday (the season will start at midnight Sunday morning).
But let's worry about the 2015 season first lol .

Thanks for another great year guys, see ya round the fence post!

You sounded like RadioJonD when you said that - well, it's the voice I heard in my head.

Merry Christmas, SnowflakeMom! I hope your daughter has a fun time at the dance and the sleepover. Your daughter is beautiful ~ such a nice smile! You are right, Ralph looks good. Very good, I might add.

Happy Saturday...enjoying a lazy morning of drinking coffee with my big boxer's head in my lap. Also watching the news about France...such a tragedy. Prayers for all of them. think I may put on a Christmas movie. My daughter and her friends are still sleeping so the house of nice and quiet.

Hello all,

Yesterday was my birthday, I turned 52! Gosh, the years are just blowing by like the leaves outside the window on my house.
I also got a phone call yesterday evening (at 6 pm) from the company I interviewed with weeks ago and they hired me over the phone last night, with the catch that I have to start this coming Monday. Whoa...was not expecting that-at-all! , well, cannot say no, because it is a job of a lifetime, so I accepted. Today I have gotten into the office early, already packed up all my office contents and put them in the van before anyone came into the office this morning. Now, I have to break the bad news to them...feel a little bad....
My kids gave me a swell birthday last night, trying to cheer me up, especially because they know how sad I have been lately with so many negative things going on in my life at the moment. So many, too many to list and well everyone has them, so I will not go into details. It's just accepting them and dealing with the cards that you have drawn from the deck of life....

Rockin' Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuu!
I often say, "if plan A doesn't work, there are 25 more letters from the alphabet to choose from; go with another plan; don't give up and don't compromise your values." At least that way the reflection in the mirror remains a positive image. Congratulations on the new job.

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 2 **



Good Morning, Folks.
Moving boldly into Christmas Season 2015, we are!

And still the count goes on:
Days to Thanksgiving: 12 (Getting close to SINGLE DIGITS!)
Days to Christmas Day: 41 (Now UNDER 6 weeks left!)


Well, our weather took a cool turn yesterday but it was dry and sunny with little wind. Cold weather looms just ahead however, and this morning has started out at 42 degrees here in our portion of MMC.


Have a Sensational Saturday and a Stupendous Second Day of Christmas Season 2015, Everybody!
And say. Get out those Christmas albums and movies, Folks. Let your Christmas spirit show!
(And while you're at it, don't forget to support your local Christmas Blossoms thread!)

This photo is a perfect image to carry with me while my mom and I venture out to do some Christmas shopping today. It's chilly this morning and not expected to warm up much this afternoon. No rain or snow expected so it should make it easy for my mom to get around. Last time we didn't bring her walker she calls "Lucy" for whatever reason, today we'll bring it as I noticed how exhausted she was near the end of our last shopping spree together.

Her eyesight isn't what it used to be since the stroke and she keeps telling me she's going blind, but it's only half true. The stroke caused some damage to her perception, she sees on a slant from one eye and a different angle on the other so she doesn't get the full view of things. I have to point out what is a shadow or a curb so she doesn't lose her footing.
She used to get so depressed over her physical limitations and vision problems, but now she sees things in more positve ways. The last time we were having lunch together she said, "well, if my eyesight goes "kaput" I can get a seeing eye dog and your father will have to go along with it." (My dad didn't want anymore pets after my dog, Raggs, died because he didn't want to feel the loss again and it was a strain financially as she had several surgeries over the years to keep her living as long as she did.)
They have a black cat that was born on Halloween and Pedro was supposed to be for therapy, but he's quite aloof and hardly ever sits with her on the sofa. He has brought her joy though.
Hope we find some merry items from her list. Not sure if I'm shopping today or just giving her a chance to shop that way I can carry her items for her - the basket on her walker doesn't hold much.
We had a Montana's open here last weekend maybe we'll go there for a late lunch. Nope, I won't just be having salad if I go there.

Keep a merry thought in your head, everyone!

She sounds like an amazing lady

We had one near our house in Las Vegas, and enjoyed their food.
Hope you find many treasures today~

Good Morning, Everyone! Yay, it's Saturday: Coffee and Pancake day! Hope Everyone has a Merry Saturday.

 

[MsRose]

We loved it, as well.
Much deeper than I expected, but light and fun at times, as well. Similar to the emotion range of Family Stone, so I guess it makes sense.
I love Diane Keaton! I will definitely buy this DVD!

We saw it yesterday as well.
I always love a fluffy feel good Christmas movie!
And a good song selection throughout the movie as well lol
For sure this is a great DVD movie.

Can somebody explain to me how to respond when one comment becomes a joint conversation?
No I'm not ready to learn yet how to attach photos lol

Happy Saturday and prAyers
To all affected by the Paris tragedy.
