Christmas Countdown - 2016

[SnowflakeMom]

Merry Christmas All! I heard my kids get up at 5:30 and run downstairs but they went back up to bed and slept until 7:15. We are just lounging around and going to my MIL'S at 3:30. We are getting ready to watch Christmas vacation...one of my faves! Hope you all have a blessed day!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Henry slept in a bit, it was 7 when he came in to wake us up. I was already awake. We had a wonderful morning of present opening. Santa had left presents and filled the stockings. Of course he also left a bit of a mess coming out of the fireplace. He always does.
Henry received his #1 list item- Hatichimal!! Along with some other items from the list. Santa really does a nice job of following the list. Nathan got a nice pair of RayBan sunglasses and Green Arrow converse.

I hope you all had/have a glorious Christmas morning and day!!!
This is a wonderful community here and I am happy to be a part of it!

Another highly successful year of countdowning has been completed at last.

Now for my annual one week off from count duties.
A bit of R&R before beginning preparation of the highly anticipated and much coveted launch of Christmas Countdown 2017!

Enjoy this Christmas day secure in the knowledge that we can "count" on the pending new year to bring the same wonder and anticipation of all the years past and, the fates willing, for many many more years to come.

A Very Merry Christmas to one and all.
And may 2017 truly prove to be the greatest year of your lives!

Thank YOU for another great year! Enjoy your Christmas break!!
Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas MMC! How's everyone doing? I will tell you this that Christmas Eve evening is still the most special feeling night of the year. What a night it was but to get there it was a long day of a lot of work lol. Made me wonder a few times why I love Christmas Eve so much...and then when we got to the point of having our big meal, and opening presents with friends it made me remember very quickly. Anyway, now I hope everyone has a great Christmas Day! I'm up in my house but everyone else is sleeping. Going out to get the coffee and donuts before we open presents. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas Eve was a busy & wonderful day!!!
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my MMC friends. Sorry that I have not been present much these past few weeks. I can honestly say this has been the most busy (and sometimes hectic) Christmas season that I can remember, but I have not let it get down my Christmas Spirits. Christmas Eve serice was great last night and I will be headed out for Christmas Day services here shortly.
I hope and pray that each of you has had a great few weeks and that this day will be one remembered and cherished for years to come. I know that most will be very busy today (myself included), so I will close for now and post again this evening.

Greetings on this Merry Christmas Day! My wish for you this Christmas and throughout the coming year is that you never feel lonely, you're surrounded by friends, family (and strangers who have become friends like those at MMC) and that the New Year brings much joy, peace, success and happiness.

Thanks for your continued friendship, posts and caring ways that have made you all an extended family of choice.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas AMD!

It's morning here in Lithuania right now, so it's Christmas already, and on this occasion, I want to share three Bible verses with you all which happened to be my favorite this Holiday Season.

Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. [1 Peter 4:8]

This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. [Joshua 1:9]

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. [John 16:33]

There I wish you and yours LOVE, JOY and FAITH in the Lord not only on this very day but everyday of the year. Merry CHRISTmas! xx

This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. [Joshua 1:9]
This one is my favorite! It's taped to my monitor at work!

Merry Christmas, friends!

I disappeared again for a couple weeks. Let's just say that I was non-stop during that time. I arrived home in Sault Ste. Marie on the evening of the 21st. The next day was spent visiting family and friends. On Friday, my dad and I headed down to Green Bay for yesterday's game. Let's just say that Green Bay was an absolute zoo on the 23rd. Last minute shoppers and travellers were everywhere!

Yesterday was excellent. The weather was above freezing, which is unprecedented for a Christmas Eve game at Lambeau Field. The game was perfect, too! It was great to see the Packers play live at Lambeau for the first time since 2014. As always, it was a magical experience. It was also great to spend it with my dad, who was attending his fifth game this season. After the game, my dad and I hopped in the car and drove 4 1/2 hours back to Sault Ste. Marie for Christmas.

I may be in my early 30s, and the gifts may not be plentiful, but Christmas still has that magical feeling. Traditions are appreciated and the sight of smiling faces never tires. Who knows when I will have my final Christmas with my family here, and begin another with Kim and our family in Ottawa. Until it happens, though, I will continue feeling grateful for everything I have.

Despite not being able to come on here as much as I wanted this month, I still held Christmas close in my heart and enjoyed all it had to offer. I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas Season, too.

Merry Christmas, friends!

Merry Christmas Prancer!!! Waiting on the 2 youngsters to wake up here. Lol!! Old dad is up before they are.

Is it your Christmas "childlike" spirit or all that USMC training?
