Countdown to Christmas 2007!!!

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:!! Just my luck if that was my "candid moment" on the front page of My Merry Christmas - Yikes! Better toss my name into the festive hat again just to be safe. HaHa.




:-x Good to see you back, Jay! I love DisneyWorld. DisneyLand was okay too, but DisneyWorld will always be special.

I got my arm stuck in the door of the monorail heading back to the Polynesian Hotel. I thought it was going to break in two so I screamed, but magically the doors opened and it didn't hurt at all. Advance screaming wasn't necessary.

Last time I was there they were still constructing the Epcott Center.

****BAY CITY ROLLER GEEK ALERT****

I'm afraid that I can tell you that the shaggy haired blond one was called Derek Longmuir. He and his brother Alan started the group and he was the drummer. Alan was "the quiet one" and was the first to leave, thus creating a veritable progression of wannabees. Alan now has a hotel in Dollar, Scotland and Derek is languishing (not sure if he's still there or not) in prison for offences against boys. Prior to that, he was a nurse.

I can do a brief synopsis on each original band member if you're interested, even down to their individual plaids!!!:???:


I'll leave quietly........!!!!!

Good Morning, all!

Willow leaves, willow leaves! Cleaned every one off my car yesterday evening and this morning, it was TOTALLY covered again. Naturally, they were attached by the morning dew. --Sigh!-- One of these days, I vow to have a garage!

SEASON DAY 30.
Days to Christmas Day: 13 (Under 2 weeks, now!)

Don't forget, "Christmas in Washington" tonight.
Hopefully, there will be at least a few true Christmas songs!

I was running through some of my old VHS tapes last night and found one with no label. Popped it in to see what was on it, and it turned out to be the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas show that was on PBS last year. Watched the whole thing and enjoyed the program all over again!
It will be on again this year some time next week, I believe. Well worth the watch!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday / Happy Hump Day, everyone!

Hi everyone..

I am thinking Christmas...I love this season of the year but I am not feeling so Christmassy and not sure why. It is SO not me.
I am wondering if work (we had been slammed) and volunteering as a kettle driver kinda ran me down a tad.
I need to bake (doesn't seem like Christmas if I don't) and although I am not a materialistic person.... I haven't done ANY shopping.

We have done quite a few things though!

-actually sat down and watched some holiday movies, DH and I
-Christmas Parade
-Went to get the tree and decorate the house
-Holiday Dinner Theater, "Cowboy Christmas"
-My daughters Micky D's work party (which was really fun)
-Special Needs school Christmas Program..every year it gets better!
-Dinner for our clients at work...
-and church of course...today we pay honor to Our Lady of Guadalupe
-also volunteered as a driver for the Salvation Army (my former church for years)

Anyway... I want to craft and go caroling
Even my kids said I am a lil' outta character this year....

Lord willing it'll pass and I will get outta this slump...remembering the reason I celebrate this AWSOME season!

From my own experience, I have learned that you just have to let the Christmas spirit/feel come on it's own time and terms. You can't force it.
Just do your reguar seasonal activities and it will come.

sorta of like sleep.. don't force ita nd it will come- just ask Crown.... they're an expert!
YABBA!

SEASON DAY 31 (Incredible - a month into the Season, already!)
Days to Christmas Day: 12

Good Morning, my friends.

Fifty-Seven degrees in Raleigh when I left for work.
It is overcast with the possibility of showers. (We are still in a drought situation and can use the rain)
Highs, only expected to be in the mid 40's by Saturday, will feel more seasonal.

Well, I watched "Christmas in Washington" last night.
As I expected, it was a mixed bag. The screamers were there as usual, but there were a few performers that were not too bad and a higher percentage of the songs were true Christmas songs.
That one guy "Allen"(?) had a nice original song done in a country style. I can't think of the name of it.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, everyone!

~Ohhhhh, the weather outside is frightful...but this java is SO delightful.....
Good Morning Christmas Pals...you Nutter Butters.

Crown, didn't catch the "Christmas in Washington"..I wanted to watch a Christmas movie instead. I search faithfully every evening to see a Christmas Special or a GOOD Christmas movie...nada. I would love to find "The Homecoming" or "Holiday Inn"...but no luck. I ended up watching, "The Christmas Carol" with Alstair Sims instead. Then dreamt I was FLYING, so I made the right decision!! (Don't you just love flying in your dreams? The air temperature is just right...you just float across the tree line, over the roofs.)

Ohhhhhhhhh Please PLEASE Please...Come home for Christmas...ohhhh yeah...YABBA!

Last night my honey and I watched a Christmas movie on lifetime.

It was about a woman who allowed her self to become discontent because although she was blessed with a wonderful husband and children she thought life looked better on the other side.

She was crying and hearing a voice looked into her drier. She morphed right into the life of her dreams....for awhile

Then she quickly found that sometimes just because you think things will make you happy....it is the simple things in life that fill your heart with love and the joy of the holidays!


Anyway.. didn't do anything "spectacular" but snuggling with my hubby and watching that movie was great! :yahoo:

I think Crown morphed into their dreams once- and of course they dreamed they were dreaming.. which morphed into another.. dream....etc...
