Good afternoon ... Well mother nature has been teasing us with Flurries since last night. We hardly had any decent snow yet this winter and for a snow lover like me it's depressing.

On the bright side, Raven is all done her meds and has healed up nicely. She and the cat have been busy making up for lost play time LOL.

Hope everyone has a great day

Glad to hear Raven is doing well. I'm sure the cat is happy about that too.

Everyone, have a marvelous evening!!

I don't know about ya'll but we've been planning and working on Christmas 2017 since our 2016 has been taken down and put away. Been busy changing items over to LED lights from incandescent, also bought many new items, still in the boxes, waiting for more lights to arrive any day now LOL

I like everything about this!

Hello I'm new here to the forum and am really happy to have found the site. I began noticing about nine years ago after Christmas had passed just how much I missed it. I live in the northeast where January and February are cold and kinda flat following the Christmas season. Nine years ago I began my own little countdowns looking ahead to the next holiday season. I started out with telling myself 36 ten day stretches would get me back to five days from Christmas and somehow that sounded like not such a long wait. I Also told myself there are only 26 two week stretches in a year and that also didn't seem to bad seeing how two weeks goes so fast. Since then I have focused on 1/4, 1/3,halftime, 2/3 and 3/4 marks. My big goal every year seems to be to reach August 1, which brings a new football season, and puts so many great holidays within reach such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas! Kinda nice I can say it's halfway to August 1 in just a couple days now. Anyway to make a long story short I was happy to find this group that seems to enjoy counting it down in the same way I do! I really find the grind through the year is kind of as fun as the season itself. Once Christmas season arrives it is epic, but goes by in a flash putting us right back in January, and so it is important to enjoy all times of the year. I look forward to counting down 2017 with you! Take care to everyone.

Welcome aboard Jason! It's an awesome group of people here ... who happen to love Christmas!

Such a nice place to come hang out away from the political craziness . Now all we need is a new Merry Podcast.

When you get home from work on Monday and can say, "that wasn't that bad," then you have done o.k.

Bring on Tuesday!

Thanks everyone. I sure hope she catches a break soon! xx

Have you heard from the at-home care nurse? Really hoping your mother will feel much better soon. She seemed like she was improving and I'm sure she's happy to be home and with Emma by her side. Sending positive thoughts for a continued recovery.

Good morning MMC! Just a quick fly by for me this morning. (almost afternoon) Been a busy morning. Moms not feeling great again. She's worrying me!!! Home health was coming this morning so I'm curious to hear what they had to say when I stop at lunch.

Hope you're all having a great MONday!!

Sorry to hear about your mom. Keeping her in my prayers

I was happy to see the snow wasn't too bad for us, but at the same time wished it kept the customers home some.

I agree! I can't wait til Friday though. My first day off this week. Have a great week!

Inventory for us is 2 days after Valentines and 2 days after our delivery day. I don't know what they were thinking doing that. It will be a busy few weeks for us at work, but I am happy to be off for the super bowl. I hope everyone had a great Monday

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

As @Edge612 noted, I know the Superbowl is a big deal for most folks. I wish I liked to watch ball games, but I just can't get into it. I don't mind watching a game, but keeping up with statistics isn't worth the effort to me LOL. I watch some of the Superbowl mainly because I usually wind up at a game-watching gathering. I think we'll all be at Bernie's store this weekend watching. I mostly watch for the commercials.

At least there'll be plenty of chips & dip!

I hope y'all have a great day!

We are hearing of a possible significant snow event for Sunday, we will be watching TV but we won't be watching the game. We will probably be watching movies instead.

She is in my thoughts.

Good evening,

We had a scare today our old man, Merlin, who will be 18 in 2 weeks, we thought he was possibly going to be leaving us. My wife brought him to the vet this afternoon, he turns out to be as healthy as a horse. He was suffering from some severe arthritis pain in his back, he could barely walk and do other things he does daily. The vet gave him a prescription for some pain pills, he had one and is back to his normal self tonight. We are very relieved.
Work was rough, had a power outage, never fun.
February is almost here.

Goodnight, everyone

so glad he is ok, my brothers dog had the same thing as she aged.

Morning MMC! Can't believe it's the last day of January already! Geez. Usually this month drags so much to me yet somehow this year it went faster than December did I think. We are expecting 1-3 inches of snow today for a change. We haven't had too much this winter so it might be nice for everything to get covered up a bit as long as the roads don't get too slippery. Other than that just continuing my busy work week. Ordered a 3 foot italian sub for Sunday's Superbowl, got my chips, wings and now pretty much waiting for it to get here.
Hope everyone has a great last day of January!
