November 1st! Can't believe it ... so close to Thanksgiving now, and then Christmas will be here in a blink. And the season will be here in only 12 days?? Time to sync the Christmas music library!

Afternoon Merry. My Christmas "library" is always available for me. Mostly the instrumental versions during the "off season", but I can't remember a month when I did not here some of it.
Enjoy the remainder of this 1st day in November...

good November Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

Trick-or-treating was fun last night, then we all went to Nancy's mom & dad's for a pizza party to celebrate winning the pizza makeover prize! Bernie is still beaming LOL! I think the construction is supposed to start in a couple weeks.

Elizabeth is part of the One-Act Play competition at school. She and Jacob were in the play last year, and they had such fun with the comedy. They won region competition, and went one to state, although they didn't place there. They always showcase the play at school with a fund-raising dinner theater, and tonight is the night. This year, however, the director chose a drama, and Elizabeth is not very excited about it. I hope it goes well tonight!

And I hope y'all have a great day!

Afternoon Bradmac. Things went well here last night and today was cleaning up and changing things out. Have fun and the fund raiser tonight and all my best to those involved.
It's November... enjoy

Good morning, everyone!

I am exhausted. Last night was busy, busy, busy. I didn't get home from the gym until about 5:30. Afterward, I immediately had to get a dinner together quickly and then prepare all the Halloween candy. Thankfully, we handed out all our candy. Kim and I don't need that stuff around the house! I was super tired after all this, but I still had hockey at 11pm. That's far too late, especially for Halloween night!

It has been a real nice morning, weather-wise. Even nice, I would say, is the fact that those calendars have all switched from the 10th to 11th month. Yep. We have finally reached the month of the beginning of the Christmas Season. Wonderful! And, if we think the days and year have already flown by, it's only going to get faster from here on! Soon, the world will be filled with the magic we share all year round. It will certainly be an astounding feeling.

Well, I should probably get around to class. Hopefully I will have time this afternoon or tonight to contribute to the Christmas Blossoms thread.

Have a great Tuesday, everyone! Enjoy your very first day of November! The Christmas Season is soooooo close!

Good afternoon Brent. Sure seems like when the actual days arrive, they turn out to be some of the busiest days of the year. I am taking Sunday - Thursday off Thanksgiving week to decorate, cook and just plain relax. Have a phenomenal 1st...

I am sooooooo tired. We had a blast last night giving out candy, but now all I want to do is sleep. And I have so much Halloween stuff to put away! Yeeks! I need to hurry so I can get Thanksgiving decorations up at home.

Hi MerryBells. Been there done that. Halloween stuff is done and Thanksgiving is up in the front yard (along with a lot of leaves raked up). We feel the pressure, but yes... take the time to rest.
Enjoy the day...

Happy November! I'm excited to pull out the turkeys and pilgrims!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little excited to start hearing Christmas music playing in the stores, even if many places skip Thanksgiving. It really is the cozy, hidden holiday, isn't it? Like many family things, intimately tucked away from the world. It will be seen and celebrated all November at my house.

There you go Moonlily. Keep those spirits high. Thanksgiving has taken a downward turn for some, but you are right it still belongs to us in our hearts, our families and our memories.
Enjoy the time...

Good afternoon to you. You will be at work an hour longer than I will. I get off at 7AM and I am not one of those overtime people. For me eight hours is enough. Besides I got more than my share of OT in 23+ years of the military. Have fun at Toys R' Us.

Afternoon MMC friends. Well, all that could be done before I call it quits has been. Got a good chunk of it finished and ready to grab some quick slumber. I hope everyone has had a enjoyable day to this point and for the remainder of the day. So I'll say an early Goodnight...

AHHHH I got the biggest pain of decorating done.. my archway between the living room/dining room is always rough... garland/lights/berries/snowflakes... it takes a lot of time to get it right, but it's done! The mantle comes next.. lugging those bins up the basement steps is a workout after a run today!

Hope everyone's decorating is going smoothly or starting soon!!

 

[Iteachpercussion]

Hello everyone. Sorry I have been away for a while. Busy, busy busy.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!!

Now that it is November; LET THE CHRISTMAS SEASON BEGIN!
The decorations will start to go up this weekend!
Oddly enough, it is almost 80 degrees today.

Hopefully I will have some more time to stop by and chat.

Have a great evening everyone!

@HomemakinGirl how was the visit at the vet for Maggie? Hope all is well.

@Holiday I hope the test results for Gracie will show improvements in her condition. She sure is a tough girl to endure all of these exams.

I hope everyone has had a great day so far. 3 more work days and then I'll be off for 2 weeks. Counting down the hours now, but a lot of work to do to make sure everything is set up for when I'm away. Time to relax and catch up on the dvr. Have a great evening everyone!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Hello all! Just had to stop by to say hi! I hope everyone had a nice Halloween!

Today I got all my Halloween decorations down and set up the Christmas tree. Going to try to decorate a bit more before bed. The outside decorations will not go out until the weekend before Thanksgiving. Yes, it's early but it's how I do it every year for almost 20 years now! Once Thanksgiving week arrives on up until Christmas I won't have time to decorate so it's done now! =) Gotta enjoy every bit of it for as long as I can!

Have a Merry Evening my Christmas Friends!

Just scrolled back a little and see a couple of post to address.

@HomemakinGirl so very sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers.

@Holiday praying for Gracie! Give her gentle hugs from me.

I hope I didn't miss any other important news here. It's been so long since I have been on it's hard to catch up!
