Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Holiday]

Well done! I always find it a challenge to make a small tree really beautiful, and you've done it.

I have some crocheted snowflakes that my grandmother made. They are so precious to me and are always among the first ornaments to go on the tree.

Awe thanks! I'm still tweaking the positioning of the snowflakes!
I was happy to take Moms snowflakes & her tree off her hands when she wanted to get rid of it all. I understand - they are very precious/special!

I am having a merry day, thanks! Will be more merry when I can run out the door after work. LOL! (It's too beautiful outside to be inside!) Tonight we are grilling out - beer butt chicken & camper's potatoes! I need to get it going as soon as I get off work since it gets dark so early now!! Not that I can't grill in the dark, but it's more enjoyable (& warmer) in the daylight!

LOL...We all feel the same about work...I've got 4 days till work and then 2 weeks relaxing,chilling out,watching Christmas movies and listening to my fav Christmas songs Woo-Hoo....Dinner sounds soo yummy Holiday...pleas set out another plate I am on my way lol....Enjoy my friend

Good morning MMC! What an awesome week this is going to be here! Can't wait!!!

Getting ready for work and then coffee with a friend this afternoon. Election Day tomorrow AM, so I'll be voting then as well. Hope the lines aren't too long! I'm staying off Facebook with everyone arguing, so MMC is the perfect place to be! Hope everyone has a wonderful and merry day today!

AMEN!!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since i've been around. I cannot believe we are in November!!!

We had a wonderful Halloween, I threw a big party. Then (In England) We celebrated Bonfire night, lots of food, drink, fireworks and bonfires. Now it's time to get in Christmas mode. I'm off to D.C and NYC this Thursday, to say i'm excited is an understatement. Hoping it's getting geared up for Christmas.

Good to see you, JOHNOR!!

 

[Holiday]

I hope you all have a wonderful evening!!!!

Good Monday afternoon, Christmas friends!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post today. I've been trying to get caught up so I can be out of work tomorrow. Elizabeth's One-Act Play goes to region competition tomorrow. I hope they do well!

I think I have a date tonight...with the preacher! LOL We don't attend church in Bellville, ours is a few miles out, but we hang out with the preacher and his family sometimes. He and I talked about going to see Dr. Strange tonight, and now it's turned into dinner & a movie. Nancy and I don't even do that anymore!

I hope y'all have a great evening!

LOL! He looks soooo thrilled to be a mummy lol

Yeah he started biting it as soon as I approached him with it.

 

[Edge612]

Oh Rollins, that is too darn cute!

I figured if we wrap him up at least he'll stay still for once (still didn't work).

Hi everyone! It seems that everyone posts what they do daily on here so I guess I should start the same haha. Hope everyone has a great day and a very Christmassy day!

LOL! Yeah, it's sort of turned into checking-in with what we did the evening before, and what we plan to do that day. If it gets too monotonous, feel free to break it up like this:

Good to see you, Matt!

Praying all goes well for Maggie . I will be thinking of you both. ((((Hugs)))

Really hope the exam goes well for little Maggie. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Hello again HMG. Temp here in Sioux Falls will be in the upper 60's (very nice). I have a lot of animals here to and can relate about letting them off for an unknown amount of time (even when it is just for grooming). I pray all goes well with the exam.

So excited for the special posts, thank you Crown!!!

Evening all. Well "everything" for the zoo decorations are down from the storage area. Looks to be around 20 trees, besides wreaths, inflatables and many other decorations will be making their appearance very shortly. That (plus being up since 2AM) resulted in an afternoon nap. Time now for the hut and DVR viewing of Hawaii Five-0. I'll catch the MNF game later on.
Have a fun evening and a peaceful sleep...

I hope your knee is alright Xmas, hope you sleep well too. Have a good night.

Thank you, injuries happen every year during turkey time. I was explaining to my employee who has never gone through a November and I made sure to tell him he will be sore, he will exhausted, and more likely than not he will have had some sort of minor injury caused by a turkey.

 

[xmas365]

Have a great time at the concert, really can't go wrong with Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire. You sound just like my husband, going along to make the wife happy, which is so nice. Decorating for the zoo for Christmas sounds like so much fun! Hope you have a great day off CGYager.

A rule to live by.

Happy wife, Happy life.
