Good Morning, everyone!

Whew! It was great last night as we counted down the minutes.
And how nice that a couple in the central zone took over at that point!

SEASON DAY 1
Days to Christmas Day: 42

Put my Glenn Miller "In The Christmas Mood II" in the old tape player and enjoyed a Christmassy drive to work.
It's a short commute, so I only got to hear 3 songs:
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
White Christmas
and Away In A Manger.
All done in that beautifully smooth Miller style!
If you don't have this album, I strongly recommend it.

Fifty degrees this morning for the drive.
Supposed to be 70 this afternoon.

Have a Terrific Tuesday and welcome to the Season!!

Congratulations and thanks for ushering in the season so cerimoniously! I have the Glenn Miller volume two playing right now in your honoor Crown!

I read all the posts at 5:45am this morning! And boy was I impressed! You guys wrote about five pages!!!

Merry Christmas Season everyone!

 

[Cedarfarm]

OH Like WOW.
That was a posting extravaganza!!!

Good Morning Friends!

I win the Insominac Theatre award for the amount of times I rotated my pillow last night...Still didn't get it right.

Thanks to RadioJon and M+4 for carrying the torch! Good job guys!!!

Crown, Jayster, Bing....Thanks for another year of friendship. Missed Auntie and Rennabelle...maybe next year, huh guys?

Have a glorious Tuesday...it is absolutely gorgeous out today, will be in the 60's! No snow here.

 

[Crown 84]

Yep, Cedar, that was fun.

But where's Binger this morning?
DON'T tell me we kept them up too late(??)
Could they - possibly?? - have {GASP!} run out of coffee??
NAAAH!

 

[RadioJonD]

Good Day everybody! Hey Jay! Quit mugging for the camera and give me a hand here! - http://tinyurl.com/2b4bvu

Now that was a cool picture...Maybe you and I should go into the Christmas Tree bidness together!!! You gotta handle the money though or all we have is junk food, impulse buys and books and CD's...Hey wait a minute...You may be the only guy buying more CD's than I do...Well...we can work all of that out...

Happy first day of the season everyone. This site is massive and i'm having the best time exploring it.

 

[BooksNChristmas]

Had a heck of a day today! Took eldest son to school (worried because he was sick yesterday), took younger son to pre-school, at library to work on outline for research paper, and ring--ring (cell phone), eldest son's teacher saying he is crying from ear ache. Picked him up at school, called doctor for appointment, errands, lunch, picked up younger son at school, bank, drove to doctor, eldest has a severe ear infection, to Walmart for prescriptions, drive thru for supper, and finally home--WHEW! What a day! The only thing that got me through was knowing that the season was officially here and listening to wonderful Christmas music--Clay Aiken's Christmas CD and the ELF soundtrack!

(Still have to finish the outline--it's due at midnight!!!):wiggy:

I really enjoyed counting down the season for the central time zone last night! What fun!

:sparkle:

Thanx for joining us Miller- that is a tradition that dates back years now- one of the rare times when we all meet " in real time.." I can do without sleep to have a chance to be with the people that I quite simply adore.... there is no other place in all of cyberspace that is as caring.... I'm glad you found us- please join in our traditions and family.. we have all been together for years- bouncing through cyberspace... continuing in an on-line friendship that never culminates- but continues- and last night was a perfect example- it was hilarious...

YABBA!!

 

[Binger]

Hey where's Cedar? I bet she's making plans to attend the Dinah Shore Golf Classic!! I hear it is being held at the shispering pines country club... where they specialize in fired twinkies...

YABBA!!

 

[slgslg02]

merry Christmas allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[BooksNChristmas]

Thanks Binger! I quite enjoy all the banter that goes on between you all. I am definitely planning on sticking around. Heck, I've finally found some kindred spirits!

:razz:

I second that!
And just think of all the barrels of coffee and hours, no, days, no, weeks, no, months of sleep that have passed in that time.
(You know, factoring 8 hours of sleep a night, after 3 years, you have had a full year of sleep? Kind of puts a new perspective on it, doesn't it?)

We enjoy poking at ourselves other but underneath we are a precious as gold to each other.


SEASON DAY 2
Days to Thanksgiving: 8
Days to Christmas Day: 41

Have been listening to LOTS of Christmas music since yesterday - Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, Perry Como.... Well, you get the idea - I am a traditionalist. Just don't care much for the modern singers who seem to wail and scream their way through their songs. Give me an old-time crooner any day.
.... And Percy Faith! Don't even get me started. I'm saving the best for later!

Fifty-five for the commute this morning.
Supposed to reach 77 this afternoon. Nice, but a bit too warm for this time of the year with Thanksgiving barely over a week away.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday / Happy Hump Day, everyone!

(Does it seem like we reached Wednesday unusually fast this week? Or is it just me?)

I'm thrilled to be part of this little, merry band of Christmas pranksters as well. In many ways, I'm in touch with all of you more than the others in my life...And that's pretty cool! My other friends look at me and wonder..."What's the deal with you and Christmas..." No one here would ever think to ask that cause you all have the same "deal". Kindred spirits...that's what we are...And God bless us, everyone!
