Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Taking a bit of a break before I start in on some last minute cleaning. I had to dig something out of my closet and that took a few hours as I decided to pack away and organize while I was at it. The time went fast as the Christmas tunes are playing.

Be safe and merry, my friends!

Merry Christmas eve eve everyone!

I see everybody’s as busy as I am. I went to the farmers market and the store this morning and now we’re finishing up some cleaning up around the house. I have a few more gifts to wrap and then we’re all set.
I don’t know if you get the show down in the states but there’s one on our Netflix and it’s called “Christmas cracker” it’s all about these crazy people who celebrate Christmas all year long LOL. Our kind of show!! I love it
I heard the snowplough in the parking lot here so I put my stuff on to go out move van and he was gone so I went OK I guess I missed that. I put my boots and coat away sat down with my feet up again and he comes back. Oh well there’s really not that much snow right now anyway.
well I hope you’re all enjoying today and are getting all the things done you want done before Christmas .
I am so excited!

Good morning all. Been a very long time since I was on here. Vacation was great and then with only a week before the big day, it has been almost non-stop around this homestead. We did get a few inches of snow (finally) on Thursday, so at least all the cords in the front yard are covered over. With the temperatures steady in the upper teens to the low twenties for the next few days, I am certain we will have a white Christmas.
I trust and pray that you are all doing well and ready for the big day to arrive which of course includes Christmas Eve. Take care everyone and I will check in with you all later today. Now it is time for some last minute dinner shopping for a larger-than-expected gathering on Christmas Eve.
Here is one of the pics with Connie and I and a park "pet" from Universal...

Great pics and happy to hear vacation was great!

Happy Saturday! I finished getting all my gift cards etc this morning and now I just need to head to the grocery store for a few things for Christmas morning and we have to bring a few appetizers to my MIL’s house. Hope you all have a great day and are not too stressed! Only 2 more sleeps until the big day!

I watched Christmas Cracker on Netflix and loved it. They take it to the extreme though. The other night I caught a similar show but with people from Québec province. We're having similar weather here, big snowflakes coming down. Enjoy your Christmas Eve eve Christmasstar.

Hello everyone!! It has been snowing on and off all afternoon so it is a great day to stay at home and finish up the last minute baking!! We made the mistake of going to Wal-Mart last night about 8pm....wow..what a mess!! I wouldn't go near a store today if someone paid me! Whatever I didn't get or forgot to get I'll just have to do without...no going to any store for me today! Way too many people...and none of them seem to have any Christmas Spirit!! I'll stick with relaxing at home by my trees watching the snow fall! Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Here we are....23 minutes into Christmas Eve on the East Coast and a just a few minutes away here in the Central Time Zone.

The time we have all been waiting for all year....

I sit here, basking in the glow of the Christmas Tree, with It's A Wonderful Life playing on the DVR. We spent the night out on the town, watched some high school basketball, and came home to fight over the fudge. We laughed, let the little ones open a gift, and just sit and talked.

It was why I wait for Christmas all year long.

Be blessed and bless others. Have a great two days. I'm not sure when I will be back this way, but I will pray for all of us tonight and will enjoy the days ahead.

Peace, love, and happiness for all....

Friends, Merry Christmas.

Yay it’s Christmas Eve! We made it, friends! I was up way too early so I am enjoying an XL cup of coffee with my tree and mantle all lit up. My Dad is coming over later and then we will have a relaxing night. Have a great day!

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 42 **

Good Christmas Eve Morning, Everyone!

"The Eve of Christmas, a wondrous time
when love is the reason and love is the rhyme.
The Eve of Christmas when spirits take flight,
that once a year night before, that once a year Christmas day."
(From "The Man in the Santa Clause Suit" movie.)

This is it, Folks. The LAST day of our count.
And what a run it has been!
Days to Christmas Day: 1 (Tomorrow, Folks.)
(Enough said!)

It was absolutely beautiful here yesterday and we topped out at 70 degress.
But that's it for the warm weather from now into the foreseeable future and we will not get above the 40's for highs for the next two weeks at least, with the low some nights predicted to be in the teens.
(Quite a rude awakening!)
We are starting the Eve off at 52 cloudy degrees here, and it's supposed to get colder during the day instead of warmer.

Have a Super Sunday, Dear Friends.
And an Exciting Eve of Christmas!

Good morning and merry Christmas eve everybody!

Even our weather people are in the Christmas mood as you can see by the report this morning...

‘‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Ontario storm prediction centre. Not a creature was stirring, except for the meteorologists. As all eyes were transfixed on jolly old st nick, and his herd of furry friends, and an approaching snow storm just in time for Christmas. So for those wishing for white Christmas you will get your wish!

So a white Christmas it will be this year for us. I’m glad my girls live in town at least I’ll be able to get them for Christmas day, I hope

So you all have a fantastic day getting ready for tomorrow !!!
