@ballcoach- Happy MMC Anniversary Friend!!!! 8 years since we both joined and lots of things have changed but we're both still here sharing our love for Christmas!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!!!! We did our family celebration today since my niece's will be with their dad tomorrow. I think I'm going to go ahead and cook another big holiday meal tomorrow though. There was a few dishes that I'm craving that we didn't make today. That means I'll have to hit up the grocery store in the morning though. Wish me luck.

THE OPERA Part XIXIXVVI

Act 1: The curtain opens to the traditional empty stage. 20 minutes later the curtain closes:

end Act 1

Act II: Jayish enters and dances a Paus Du Lux entitled “ I am not a marshmallow kinda guy” The entire company enters and sings the beautiful aria” Peeps”. Coach enters and announces via an aria that as ambassador they are hereby proclaiming the “ Year of the Peep” and everyone will joyfully celebrate by going to their local CVS and ingesting handfuls of yellow peeps. Made and Prancer sing the beautiful aria “ Peeps: They’re Not just for breakfast”. Binger sings the aria “ Peeps and Coffee” what a winning combo! Brad enters and with CG Yaeger sings the aria “ Everyone should be fluorescent” . There is great rejoicing when on the mountaintop Crown appears and announces via an aria that The Peep Show is being cancelled due to the loud noise being made when they are chewed and thus it keeps them awake. The entire company sings a mournful aria entitled..” Ain’t no peeps when she’s gone..” as the Curtain closes

End Act II

Act III:

Edge and Do You hear what I hear enter and sing the aria “ My country peeps of thee”. Jayish enters and dances the scandalous Paus Du Lux entitled “ Peep at me”- the entire company enter and vow to carry on the peep show and celebration and sing the aria “ Peep it Up baby”- Crown again appears and using their wizardly powers seizes Jayish, McGunny, Christmas Star and Homemakin Girl and imprison them in the plastic cylinder. The entire remaining company sings the aria “ What’s Peeps Got To do with it” and vow to boycott CVS until the imprisoned comrades are released. The Act closes with a close up of Crown sleeping on a giant peep.

End Act III

Act IV: Finale

The villagers arrive and lead by Binger sing the aria from the 1973 Coven hit “ One Tin Solider” only substituting the lyrics “ Go ahead and cheat a friend” for “ Go ahead and deny a Peep” . Carl the Camel appears on stage and the villagers rush to empty his hump of a brewed peep blend. Then, using his two humps as a solidified slingshot, they pepper Crown ( still asleep on a giant peep) with a barrage of chocolate m and ms which awakens them. Crown awakens realizing the error of their ways due to a loud candy causing even LESS SLEEP, and in one of the most moving moments ever in operatic history, announces the Peep show starring Jayish was back on and the Peep celebration was again to be restored. The company rush the plastic cylinder and release the hostages. There is great joy as the entire company come together to sing the aria “ It’s a marshmallow world” as the curtain closes and peeps are dropped from the ceiling… End….

A New Binger Oprea after 3 years!!!!! I don't know if my heart can take this!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's like Love returning for Lovemas!!!!!!! Lin Manuel Miranda better watch out I tell you!!!! Hamilton doesn't have anything on Carl!!!!

I even got to sing in it??? Talk about a true honor!!!!!!!!!

8 Years...Wow. I can remember coming here and seeing people with 2,000 and 3,000 posts and thinking I will never post that much. Had my profile not crashed, I would have over 20,000. Not that the posts matter, but how we have interacted has. I've enjoyed it, Made. Thanks, friend.

I'm surprised I posted at all. I had always just lurked on forums up until I joined here. I just felt like I was at home here though and well, look at me now. Lol!!

Good morning MMC ~
Happy Easter!
I hope everyone has a beautiful day!
Thoughts and prayers for all <3

Happy Easter MMC! Hope you all have a great holiday today! Hard to believe it's Easter already. We are going to have some lasagna and pastries today like we normally do on Easter. Just celebrating the day in a low-key way here. It's going to be almost summer-like with temps expected to reach the low 80s! One warm day before it goes back down closer to normal this coming week. Have a great Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter MMC! Hope it's a good one for you all! X

Good Morning, Friends.

Getting perilously close now to TWO Milestone markers!

Today's numbers:
Days to the Season: 211
Days to Christmas Day: 253

1) The ONE-THIRD marker to Christmas Day is SINGLE DIGITS from tomorrow!
2) The 200-day Season Window arrives on the following day!
Back-to-back Milestones. As rare as an eclipse! Don't miss it, Folks.
(And you don't have to wear special eye protection to see it happen. Just tune in right here in the Countdown thread at the scheduled time!)

One good day after another. This is getting monotonous. But NICELY monotonous! I could get real used to this.
In fact -- I have.
More of the same today? Yep. And we have started off here at 66 degrees.

Have a Super Sunday, Everybody!
Enjoy your remaining Weekend.

Happy Easter All!!! Hope your day is wonderful. I do have to work this afternoon for a few hours, but I'm happy to spend time with my husband at church this morning and hopefully Skype with my family this afternoon. Have a lovely end to your weekend!
