ASSOCIATIONS: WORDS AND IMAGES
Remember word association tests? You would be given a word or words and asked what is the first thing to pop into your head?
Well, Christmas has so very many word associations:
Holly, mistletoe, wreaths, Santa, elves, reigndeer, chimneys, north pole, snow, firs, bows, ribbons, bells, ornaments, tinsel, red and green lights, holiday music, cards, eggnog, milk&cookies.
But is that really surprising? After all, Christmas is so universal to so many.
And every image can bring a smile to your face.
Here we have another association that most people don't: MMC. Our little community here to remind us of our favorite holiday and its salient images all year long.
Populated with friendly people, it is perhaps the nicest place to go on the entire internet even if you are not into Christmas all year.
Let your mental images flow this season. Let them carry you away into a world of holiday happiness, where there is nostalgia for the past coupled with optimism and hope for the future.
Have a great Christmas Season, dear friends.
And thank you once again for counting down with us!

GOOD MORNING!
*** Season Day One. ***
It is here, right on schedule and as promised.
And thanks everyone who appeared here last night to ring in the Season in style, as becomming of MMC citizens and enthusiasts!
But, wait.
The count. It's still here.
Of course, the rest of our count goes on and will continue right on through Christmas Eve!
Days to Thanksgiving: 15 (Two weeks from tomorrow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 42 (Six weeks from today!)
And what's this?? I have just been informed that we are near a Milestone Day.
<< How is that possible, Crown? The Season is here! >>
Ah, how true. But Christmas Day has yet to come, with the 90 percent, Home Stretch point to that grand day a mere FIVE days hence.
(And here you thought there was nothing left to look forward to before Thanksgiving Day.)
COLD. That's what it's like here, with our opening temperature reading at 28 degrees.
At least it's clear and the long rain of yesterday has quit.
Our high today should be only 43.
But Folks. There is even more exciting news!
The beginning of our Christmas Season falls on a Wednesday this year which means Carl is beside himself. The inn has been transformed almost overnight into a Christmas wonderland and will remain so all the way to New Years. There will be the traditional red and green frosted fired twinkies (a box of which will be offered free to all five of our wonderful Special Post Series participants), Christmas music will play, holiday movie favorites will air in the inn's theater, and rumor has it that Carl will appear as Santa with O'Malley as his elf. (Oh, I've GOT to see that!)
Anyway, you all have a Wildly Wonderful Wednesday, and an Outstanding Opening day of Christmas Season 2019!

The Islanders are off to a great start this year. Have fun!!!
Good Wednesday morning, and Happy Day One, Christmas friends!
Sorry I missed the countdown last night; I'm a lightweight when it comes to staying up late. But it looks like a great time was had by all.
It's downright COLD here today! I know everyone else is in the teens and lower, but the upper 20's is pretty cold for us. We southerners aren't used to it. There'll be lots of folks skidding into the ditch (even though there's no ice LOL).
I hope y'all have a great Day One!!

And with this cold weather, the plumbers will be very busy this morning with frozen pipes to repair.
Merry Christmas, friends. The last I looked at the clock it was 11:40 PM. Well, I came close. I was up again by 1:30 so I knew it was day 1 of Christmas season.
I went through the whole thread leading up to the final hour and it was exciting....even if I was a few hours late.
Enjoy the season!

Good morning. Thanks to all for allowing me to participate in my first "Tis The Season" countdown. What I learned . . .
- MMC is a GREAT place to hang-out
- There are A LOT of friendly people
- I need to learn to click and type faster.

We were all so glad you could be here! We always have a great time! Your last statement made me LOL!
Good morning all! Merry Christmas season! I have another day off today, but my niece is here, so she'll kept DH and I both busy. I'm going to try and maybe get some online Christmas shopping done while the kids are in school. Other than that, I don't have any plans. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Merry Christmas Season Sugar!!!
Thanks, Rich! To you and your wife as well! Glad you were able to enjoy in the festivities last evening!
That was a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.

I'm going to have a wee nap and then throw on some Christmas tunes and get a jump start on my Christmas cards.
That was a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.
It just so happened to fall on my day off. I'll have to try and remember to schedule it off next year. I'll be off NYE this year, but work New Years Day and will have to get up 545-6a so that will be pretty late for me to stay up, but I love watching the ball drop, so I'm sure I'll be here!
We are getting our Christmas pictures November 27th (day before Thanksgiving), so as soon as I have the rights to the pictures, I'll order the cards, and get mine sent out!
Thanks Crown! Happy Christmas Season!
