Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Ryan]

I guess we're wishing for the holiday weekend this week!

Yep!

 

[Ryan]

Happy Wednesday MMC! I hope you all have a great day! I'm dealing with a horrific zit on my face, it looks like a spider laid eggs in my face! Eeeps! Just thought I would share.

Hi Frosty. Have a good day!

Good morning, everyone!

It is officially the final day of the school year! After today, the grade 12 students will be on their way to their next adventures. I came to Russell when these students were in Grade 10, and having taught them for three school years, I really am going to miss them. They are a great group! It will be nice to say good luck tonight at graduation. They deserve it!

It's the final 'Pines Day of June. I can't wait to see what type of special that Carl has in store for us tonight!

Not much else is happening today. It should be a busy one after school with getting some food and preparing for the graduation ceremonies. I'll probably be at the school for about 12-14 hours total today. It's all worth it, though!

Well, I have a few things to share from a recent trip to Tinseltown... They should be up shortly. I hope you enjoy!

I look forward to the Tinseltown pics! Have a good day.

Tinseltown, Ottawa's year-round Christmas store, had plenty to offer when Kim and I paid our first visit for 2016 a couple weeks ago. After all, what do you need when it is about 37C/100F outside with humidex? Christmas. That's what you need!

I really enjoyed this fireplace decor:

Some new ornaments:

You may not be able to see it, but there is plenty of black out this year:

White decor sections. White and crystal were also prominent:

How about these little guys?:

This Christmas Tree was tacky, still, I enjoyed it:

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

The fireplace is great. I see a Santa on that fireplace that I bet @made582 would like.

1.5-foot figures of Santa and Mrs. Claus. I wouldn't mind these in my house:

A nice assortment of decorations:

That is all... although, I do want to share this awesome photo taken on the same day. Here is Simon watching his favourite squirrel video on Kim's iPad. He loves it!:

Indeed, there are so many Santas in there. Kim is starting to become a fan of all the variations of Santa. She even said that we need to starting collecting more Stantas... We may never reach a collection like @made582, but it will be nice to compare someday down the road!

Love all the pics. Thanks so much for sharing. An early taste of the Blossoms thread!

Wish I had a Christmas store to visit during these hot days. And that's pretty cute about Simon.

Love it! When we travel, I actually search online to see if there's a year-round Christmas store and it becomes part of the vacation.

Hope your zit disappears soon!

Today is Wednesday! I was a day ahead last night as I dropped by the Pines early. I'll come back tonight.

Thanks, Crown!

Of course, the 'Pines is always open. It's just that the special open house treats, deals and entertainment are on Wednesdays.
(Or special holidays like this coming Monday!)

Good Morning, Folks.

Approaching the two week mark.
(To our next Milestone, that is.)

Days to the Season: 137
Days to Christmas Day: 179

That two week mark will arrive tomorrow.
And the Milestone is in fact the TWO-THIRDS MARK TO THE SEASON!
(So far -- so fast!)


Quite rainy here yesterday morning (1.5 inches to be exact) but we had a nice and clear afternoon/evening. We could get more rain each day for the remainder of the week, according to the weather service.
This morning has commenced here precipitation free at 74 sunny degrees.


Wednesday -- mid week -- Pines Day -- the last Pines day in June.
This one could be low-key this evening as Carl prepares for the big Independence Day bash to be held Monday.
Red white and blue frosted fired twinkies are a staple, of course.
Fireworks naturally, and there is a rumor our friendly activities director has commissioned at least one firework to explode in the shape of a camel.
(This I have GOT to see!)


See you at the Pine this evening. And in the meantime, you have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Thanks, Crown!
Have a wonderful Pines day!
