Thank you for sharing the pictures, e_xander.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
What a lovely way to commemorate your mother <3

Good Thursday Morning MMC! Sometimes I look at little things that make me realize how time goes ridiculously fast. Well can you believe it was a week ago that we woke up Thanksgiving morning? Honestly it seems like yesterday and it's already a week. Time to hit on the Christmas season brakes! Although, I have to admit I am looking forward to this weekend coming. I have big Christmas plans of course in terms of shopping for some more gifts, watching lots of Christmas shows and buying some items for the big Christmas Eve dinner that we have every year.
Ahh well for now I'll just handle Thursday. I hope you all have a great one!

Time is going ridiculously fast!!! This weekend will be a busy one full of Christmas things for me too - so it will fly again!! Ah well - means we are having fun, right? Have a good Friday Eve!

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 21 **



Good Morning, Friends!

Rise, shine and cast your eyes on the latest count number:
Days to Christmas Day: 22
(That would be three weeks from tomorrow, Folks!)


A relatively warm day here yesterday but it came at the cost of more rain.
Now, today should be dry but much colder.
(That often seems to be the trade-off around here this time of year.)
We have started off this day before Weekend Eve at 46 still damp degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
And keep enjoying the holiday Season!

Thanks Crown! Hope you are enjoying the holiday season too! xx

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

My morning isn't going so well. My truck won't go in reverse, so I'm waiting on my brother to get to his shop to take a look. I hope I don't have to have a new transmission. We'll see.

Merry Christmas to Brad LOL.

I hope y'all have a better day than I'm having!

OH NO! Hope it's an easy fix & your day gets better!!

 

[Holiday]

Lucky you Holiday. I'm looking forward to doing more Christmas shopping this weekend but my wallet is saying stop buying!

Oh mine says STOP too, but ....

 

[Holiday]

Happy Friday Eve, holiday!
Glad that you enjoyed the flurries, and had a festive night!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks! Hope you have a wonderful day too!

 

[Holiday]

Chillingly beautiful!

They just re-played it on NBC - bought brings tears to your eyes!

Sorry to hear about your rough morning. How old is your truck?

Thanks. It's an '08 F-150. I've never had any trouble with it, so I guess it's my turn LOL.

Good morning, Brad!
Sorry to hear about your truck, fingers crossed that it's not the transmission.
Hope your day improves!
Sending hugs!

I talked with Jim, and knew exactly what it was. It's in the transmission, so I'm trying to get it to his shop right now. Fingers crossed on the cost!

 

[SnowflakeMom]

the house is done !!!
Taking it to the competition site in about and hour an the awards will be given out tomorrow evening.
Now I can sit down and do absolutely nothing for at least 10 min !

Best of Luck CS!

Hello everyone. So sad what's going on in California. Prayers for all involved and for peace!

Have a good night.

It is so heartbreaking!
Hope you have a great Thursday Ryan!

Goodnight all

Another sad evening with people being shot for no reason. Just been watching the news, what is this world coming too :-(

Happy Thursday Irishsnow! I agree...so sad!

Good evening,

Wife and I spent the day Christmas shopping, we are just about done.
Heading to bed, can barely keep the eyes open.
Goodnight, all.

Good Morning, friends~
Merry Friday Eve!
Wishing you all a blessed & beautiful, Christmassy day!

Happy Friday Eve Snowflake! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning!
Happy Thursday!
Typical day of errands and chores. I'm also going to do some online shopping and put some more decorations out. My mother stopped by yesterday and gave me a beautiful ceramic Christmas tree. I'll post a picture of it later, I just have to decide where I'm going to put it!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Have a great day HMG....can't wait to see your ceramic tree!

Happy Thursday Edge! Your weekend sounds like a lot of fun! I agree time keeps flying by I wish it would slow down a bit.

Sorry to hear that, Brad! I hope your truck is a quick fix!

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!! Wow this week flew!! Our snow yesterday didn't amount to anything! It flurried a little bit & I enjoyed that while putting lights on our shrubs at home! My neighbor was out putting hers up & she inspired me! This morning is dark & dreary (& chilly) but there's no precip in the forecast! I'm in an extra good Christmassy mood today since this is my last day of work for the week - big shopping day tomorrow with my friend. Looking forward to it!

Have a Fantastic Friday Eve MMC!

Have a great day Holiday....have fun shopping with your friend. I am going out with my friend on Saturday. I am looking forward to some girl time!

Gracie is definitely one of us! And she is a smart cookie to unwrap a candy cane. I have trouble unwrapping those things!

That garland sounds charming. Do you have a picture?

The mug is down to four candy canes, but the traffic almost made me late today so I couldn't stop to buy more on the way to work. Maybe I can sneak out for a few minutes later to the nearby Walgreen's for another box. I'd like to keep the mug "magically" replenished during the season.

Have a great day Merry!

Good morning, everyone!

I'm at Russell today. I was here yesterday and Tuesday, but super busy on both dates. I am back again tomorrow, too. I hope your Christmas Seasons have been going swimmingly.

Not much to update here. The weather has been a little above seasonal. We're suppose to get some mixed precipitation sometime today. I am sure that it will not be too pleasant for driving. Luckily, it is suppose to stop later this evening. I'm actually at school until about 10pm today. The students are having their "Winter Wonderland" Oscars celebration. They asked me to chaperone last week. I like seeing them have a good time, so I agreed. The only real downfall is that I will miss most of the Packers game. As of right now, however, they don't really deserve to have me watch their games... It's been a while since I've said that.

Well, I should prepare for my first class. I'm in the Art room all day. Although I am awful at art, I like it in here.

Keep enjoying the Christmas Season, everyone! It's hard to believe that we're already three weeks into our favourite time of the year. At least December is just getting started!!

Merry Christmas!

Have a great day Brent! The art room sounds like a lot of fun!

Love Light Tree ceremony last night at Mayo Health here in Eau Claire. We was a white light in memory of my mother who passed this past June. It was a very nice service with the local high school Madrigal Singers.

What a great tribute to your Mom...lovely pictures!

Ha ha - she had that thing unwrapped so fast - there was NO WAY I was going to get that from her.

I haven't taken a picture yet - I need to decide which mantle I am going to put it on & how I'm going to put it up. I'm not going to put any tacks or nails in my mantle, so it could be tricky. I'll figure something out. Maybe Command has some kind of hook I can use! Good thing I'm shopping tomorrow! I will definitely post a pic though - it's really cute!
I love the idea of keeping the mug "Magically" replenished! I hope you are able to sneak out to get more candy canes. How fun & festive!
Have a good day MC!

Good morning Brent! Have fun tonight! Safe travels!!

awe, to bad about the snow...there is none in our forecast till at least LittleCS's birthday on the 14th. We are putting up all our indoor decorations starting today and will be done on the weekend. We wait until after the gingerbread house competition as that kind of takes up the small space we call home.

Have fun decorating! Can't blame you for waiting! Our next chance of snow is December 16th! Have a good day CS!

Happy Friday Eve Friends! Nothing too exciting going on here today just working. I am hoping to head to the gym this afternoon. On Saturday I am going shopping with a friend to the outlets and out to lunch. I am hoping to finish up my shopping for my oldest daughter.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
