Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Edge612]

Happy Friday! I've been away for a week or so with work. I hope you all have a great weekend.

TGIF Frosty!

Good Morning, Single Digit Compadres!

Can it be? Can it really be??
Let's check:
Days to the Season: 9 (SINGLE DIGITS AT LAST!!)
Days to Thanksgiving Day: 20 (UNDER 3 weeks left!)
Days to Christmas Day: 51 (Seven weeks from the day after tomrrow!)

Yes. It's true. We have just confirmed it. Christmas Season 2016 is close. Oh, so close!
(Hard though it may be to believe.)


And the Special Post Series?
Now, it's only FOUR days ahead!

The schedule:
November 08 (Day 5 before the Season) = Christmasstar
November 09 (Day 4 before the Season) = Binger
November 10 (Day 3 before the Season) = McGunny
November 11 (Day 2 before the Season) = DYHWI Hear
November 12 (Day 1 before the Season) = Brent


Well, I can say it was downright warm here yesterday.
But that's it for a while. Today should see us linger in the 60's with temps dropping down into at least the 40's overnight.
Right now, we are at 60 degrees after a light early morning rain here in our little corner of the great MMC Nation.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.


And a Weekend that is even better than the last one!

Thanks Crown! We are oh so close now!

Good Friday Morning MMC! TGIF! Hope you are all ready for a great weekend ahead. Looks like we will have 50s and sunshine by day and 30s at night. Typical November type weather. I see a lot of the country is warmer than average and that will continue the next week. At least we get an extra hour this weekend with turning the clocks back. And it will be "less dark" in the morning but it will be dark very early in the evenings now. Going to order pizza for dinner. Not much is better than a Friday night with pizza.
Have a great day!

Good morning! My daughter's new kitten is going to be trouble this year. Tree wasn't even up 5 minutes!View attachment 33396

Love the photo! (I'm a sucker for kitties.)
I hope he/she is just looking for a quiet place under the tree, and doesn't make trouble.

Good morning MMC! Happy FRIDAY!! Woop!

Well, things are really getting extra exciting now. I sent a message to my sisters last night about Thanksgiving & guess who's hosting now! Yep! ME! Yikes! LOL! They all offered, but 1 sis had Christmas & Easter last year, another had Thanksgiving last year, and the other has a nice house, but with no basement it just isn't big enough for all of us if the weather isn't fit to be outside. My nephew gets married Dec. 10th so my bro/sil have enough on their plate - they don't need to be hosting Thanksgiving too (didn't even ask them!) So me it is! I love to host, but I have to admit I'm a little sad I won't be able to put up my big tree until after turkey day! I did set up the little tree in the basement last night. I need to get some new lights for it. I will probably put up the tree in the sunroom before Thanksgiving also. I better get cleaning!

What are everybody's weekend plans? We don't have much going on. I'm staying with Mom tonight. As of last night we still have water at the lake, so if it's still on tomorrow we may go out there. Buckeyes play at 8:00 tomorrow night - we won't miss that! I would like to check out the Christmas Shop at the hardware store, since I missed the Christmas open house/ladies night last Sunday! That's about it.

Today is much cooler with a high of 57 predicted - but then we are back up into the 60's (almost 70) starting tomorrow through next week!

Everyone, have a Fantastic Friday!!!!

Good evening,

Day off went well, got a lot done, including de-Halloweening the house. I am now ready to start decorating the house for Christmas. I am planning to have the trees up and done on November 10. I am just ready for Christmas decorations and joy.
We got a new car tonight, I will be picking it up tomorrow. It is a brand new 2017 Chevy Equinox. We are very happy, the price was right, and we love the Equinox, we did try to go for the Traverse first but it was out of our price range. The downside was we spent 4 hours at the dealership tonight .
My sinuses are killing me tonight, so bedtime is calling.
Goodnight, everyone

Congrats on your new car!! So exciting you are decorating soon! Have a great Friday.

Oh wow...how exciting you are hosting! We host every year too...we have about 25 people or so. Not too many plans for the weekend. My youngest has baseball practice tonight and not too much else is planned. I am looking forward to a quiet weekend. Have a great Friday, Holiday!

 

[Holiday]

Thank you!
Sounds good =]

The big tree will go next to the fireplace downstairs! And I bought a new, smaller flocked tree for my vintage ornament collection. Can't wait to see it come together.



Thank you, we are excited!

I can't wait to see it come together either! So exciting!
Happy Friday snowflake!! Hope you have a GREAT weekend & a fun time at the game!

Merry Friday!

It's the big day! The grand switch on of the Christmas lights will officially open the Christmas season here. I am not sure which celebrity will flick the switch but there will be fireworks and guest performances.

I can't believe it's here!!

Have a merry day everyone. Here is a couple photos (not my own) from previous years.

I must be really tired today, I thought you wrote that Jacob joined the circus.
Congrats to him joining the chorus, enjoy the show tomorrow.

Awesome (I hope!)! We've never had a house large enough for the whole family, so it's always been at mama's. I'm ready to chow down again!

TGIF, Christmas friends!

Tonight is Jacob's event, The University Singers. I'll have to leave early this afternoon to get there in time. I also have to leave in a few minutes to attend a funeral. A very sweet, dear lady in our church passed away. At church, she always hugged me and kissed me on the cheek so hard that it made her glasses go crooked. Every time! I'll miss Mrs. Mamie.

I'll be back after lunch. I hope y'all have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Hello everyone. Stressful day! I presented at a conference and that took it out of me. It may be Thursday, but I might just have to go to the Pines tonight!
Y'all have a good evening.

Hope today is MUCH better!! Happy Friday!!

 

[Holiday]

CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, Please????

****BIG ANNOUNCEMENT****
