Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Iteachpercussion]

We ended up getting a couple of inches of snow yesterday and it looks wonderful! The temperatures are going to be dropping and tomorrow morning we are suppose to have wind chills about -15! Could be enough for a 2 hour delay tomorrow. Cold again through Friday, but then.... 50 on Saturday will lots of rain, then turning cold again, back to snow and temperatures on Monday morning in the single digits! Talk about temperature roller coaster.

** CHRISTMAS SEASON 2016 DAY 32 **


Good Morning, Big Day Approachers.
And approaching we most assuredly are, as today's count figure tells us.

Days to Christmas Day: 11 (SINGLE DIGITS FROM THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!)
Can this be true? Can this REALLY be true??
(I guess so, if the daily count so informs us.)


Well, it was tolerably warm yesterday with just a mild sprinkle or two during the evening hours.
Should be slightly cooler today then MUCH colder tomorrow, with tomorrow night's low predicted at teeth-chattering 18 degrees.
(Wow!)
We are at 45 degrees here right now.


Hey! Carl is ready and waiting at the 'Pines for this next-to-the-last open house Wednesday before Christmas. Things are in full holiday swing and will be even more so next Wednesday, the designated super special pre-Christmas bash.
Be there this evening and especially a week from this evening, Folks!


In the meantime, you all have a Wonderful Wednesday, OK?

Happy Wednesday/Hump Day/'Pines Day to all!

Yesterday was a l-o-n-g workday. I'm hoping today brings more reasonable hours. I want to drop in at the 'Pines and sip tea and/or cocoa and watch the festivities.

Good afternoon, Holiday!
Happy Tuesday!
So cute!!


Good for you!!

That is wonderful, happy for them!!

Glad you guys still had fun, and thanks for setting some candy aside for me

Happy Birthday to Emma!! I bet she had a great celebration, very sweet of you guys!

Thank You so much!!
I love spritz cookies, my grandma used to make them. And I had a kit that I never opened, so it was time to put it to some good use!


It is frigid!! There's a sharp wind that cuts right through you.
And the cold makes my car go haywire, all kinds of sensors going off. Makes me nervous!

Continued prayers for your Mom, hope the rest does her a lot of good.
It sounds like you've got some good Christmas plans for the weekend. Enjoy!
{{{Hugs}}}

Thank you snowflake! And Good Morning!

Your candy is waiting for you!

I have a kit for spritzer cookies too. I have never used it!! My sister always use to make those on candy day, but she hasn't done that for a few years. I should get mine out. Maybe Friday at moms. Hmmmm...

We are supposed to have a low of 3º tonight with 16mph wind. BRRRRR!! Praying your car doesn't have any issues. Too cold to have vehicle issues now!

Thanks for the continued prayers for mom. She's definitely not out of the woods.

Hope you are having a great day!!!

 

[Holiday]

Hope your brother & SIL have a safe trip back to Massachusetts, it's hard to say goodbye.
Sending more hugs!


Brrrr is right!
They are smart little cookies! Love it!
Thanks, friend!


Very nice! Enjoy the winter wonderland!

They made it home safely!! Thanks! Now they leave Friday for Florida for 10 days. What a life!!

Miss Gracie got ahold of one of my ornaments yesterday afternoon. She got the top & hook off, but never damaged the ornament. Little booger!

 

[Holiday]

Calling for potential foot of snow and -25 wind chills here in the next 36 hours

That has GOT to be what the North Pole is like!

Yes, this is what the North Pole feels like!!!
BRRRRRRRRRRR! Stay warm!

 

[Holiday]

Thanks Holiday! Hope your mom is doing well and getting stronger every day.


Stay warm!

Thank you nmc! Appreciate it!!

Greetings Martine. Already got my Christmas dinner "request" from my better half. So this year's menu will be Brisket, twice-baked potatoes, steamed broccoli with cheese, warm dinner rolls and hot fudge Sundays for dessert.
Hope you got yours figured out...

Good evening all. Got caught up with some of my MMC friends and I will do more in the AM. Now it is time to dine and get ready for another five days of jobbing. I hope everyone had a great day. for those of us in the colder country... stay warm, enjoy the fire (or virtual fireplace), relax with a cup of coffee or cocoa, be careful of your back if shoveling and be sure to take breaks.
See you all on Wednesday...
