Both! But if I could only have one, it would be natural. It's not Christmas to me without it!
Morning MMC! Merry Christmas Season! Couldn't make it here late last night but I am glad those who did had fun counting down. I went to my Uncle's yesterday evening and we had our monthly get-together. Feels good to feel back to normal as I got my mojo back this weekend. Now I hope you all have a great 1st day of the Christmas Season!
When the kids go back to school in September, Christmas starts gradually appearing with things like cards, gift wrap and craft stuff. It builds gradually from there and once Halloween is over then it's pretty much full on Christmas.
I feel like October is a good time frame to be honest allowing people to have enough time to plan, shop. I always think that the people who complain it's too early have a choice to not part take till they are ready. Life nowadays is hectic and days and weeks fly by so if people prefer to make a head start then I think that they should have the choice so it's nice the shops allow for this. So yes, compared to the old days , it probably does start earlier but life has changed since then.
When will it start over there??
Good morning MMC ~
Just popping in quick to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas season of 2017!
I only have a few minutes, I have an early morning MRI appointment. I’ll be back later.
Have a great day!

Lol..I have been watching instructional videos on Youtube for crochet.
Seasons greetings to you all! What a great way to start the week!
Morning Festive. Very nice and why do I have visions of my Edward Everett to your Abraham Lincoln?
Have a great day!!!
Good Morning and Merry 1st day if the Christmas Season!!! Over the weekend we 2 houses being decorated for Christmas and I am sure over the next couple weeks we will see more and more houses being decorated. Less then 2 weeks to go before we decorate ours. Got some more Christmas shopping done yesterday so we are about 1/2 done shopping for our kids now. Will get them finished during Black Friday. Hope everyone has a great day!
Greetings Claire. Indeed it is and hopefully will carry you on through this day and the many to come before the 25th...
A Merry Monday to you Minta. Sounds like you had both a productive and enjoyable weekend. It's always nice when you can combine the two. Have a fun day and a great week...
Howdy Edge. Got your Mojo? I use to have my Maypo, but you probably have to be my age or older to know what I'm talking about... lol. Glad you are back to the norm and that your monthly time went well. Have a nice week and what happened to the Jets?

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 1 **
Gooooood Morning, Guys!
Hey! Christmas Season 2017. It is here. We are in it.
Hallelujah!
But the count goes on.
(Albeit shortened by one line.)
Days to Thanksgiving: 10 (SINGLE DIGITS FROM TOMORROW!)
Days to Christmas Day: 42 (Six weeks from TODAY!)
Getting close to that Gobble. (And the parade!)
Still rather chilly here yesterday but the sun was out and no precipitation fell.
Today, we should climb up close to 60, but it is coming with with some rain.
Right now, we are at 46 wet degrees to begin day one of the Season.
Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone.
And a Stupendous Start to Christmas Season 2017!

Well, the Season is here again one more time after another year of counting down together.
The years are really starting to pile up, now. We have been at this for a long time.
In fact, the Countdown has slowly made itself into a wonderful Christmas tradition! A tradition it has been my pleasure to share with each and every one of you over the last ten years here at MMC.
And thanks to our annual real-time count last night, I'm really starting to feel once again in the Christmas spirit! (And that's really the whole idea, isn't it?)
A heart-felt thanks to all of you, both newcomers and old-timers, for helping to make this year, and the decade's worth of years that have come before it, really special here at MMC.
Now full speed ahead into Christmas Season 2017!
Have fun, my friends.
Put on some Christmas music.
Dust off those ornaments.
Pop in a Chritmas movie.
Start thinking about that eggnog and sugar cookies.
And above all, don't waste a moment -- enjoy the Season experience to the fullest.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Ah ok, so pretty much the same as what I remember - once halloween is done, wallop - chrimbo.
Not complaining mind you, happy to see it arrive asap. But yes, in today's world, everything is rapid-fire, go-go-go, out with one celebration in with another.
It's almost paradoxical in its nature - we wish the time would fly only to get to the point where we wish it would slow to a crawl.
The ramp-up has begun here - but until "Wham! - LC" is blaring out over the lautsprecher in the supermarkets, Switzerland has not truly arrived
The chocolate displays are up, "Lebkuchen" and things, but the full-on Xmas-themed foods and deco (other than basic lighting) is not yet there.
HOWEVER - just this morning, on my way in, i passed a few cars from just across the border (Germany) which were caked in snow!
The air is more crisp, too - the wetness has gone - it's going to snow, and soon!
HO! HO! HO! Christmas friends..Hope everyone is having a Merry start to the week....Its mighty chilly here Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.....Ive got a few days off work and I am relaxing on the sofa watching Christmas movies...Started decorating so it is starting to look festive again in my home....I wonder if Holiday has started decorating yet lol...Enjoy the rest of your day ahead Christmas friends
