• Tracking Santa Around the World
Wow that is just incredible. 6 months ahead of the holiday. Which i guess, is the same thing that happens in Hobby Lobby / Jo Ann Fabrics, etc.. The retail creep is really picking up steam for 2021!
Maybe they're trying harder this year to recoup the losses from 2020.
 
300 Days until November!
Tomorrow we're in the 2's. :)
Once counts get out of the 3's, I think that the time just flows easier! Christmas is my main countdown and part of the reason why I think January is such a slog is because the whole entire month is full of 3's in front of the countdown. We don't have any "bonus months" either to help things along like we had with Thanksgiving and Halloween.

But you know, I'm already going down the path (I think) of doing something that I have never done before in January, and that is enjoy it. And part of that I think is because I am now aware (Thanks to threads like this) of all of the milestones that I have overlooked throughout the years!
 
I can't believe I never noticed how many milestones there are in January, not just for the Thanksgiving count either but across all of the holiday threads. If I had started counting down years ago maybe I could have avoided so many of the Post-Christmas Blues.
Oh yeah January has good stuff about it! I'm enjoying it so far!
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 323
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 299
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 238


Happy January Mid-Week! Yeah we're into the middle of the week here in early January. I'm enjoying it right now. Let's talk about our counts. We have 323 days till Thanksgiving, 299 days till November, and 238 days till The Bers. All 3 counts look good but you do notice now we have only 1 countdown left in the "3s". That is our Thanksgiving countdown. Personally, I'm kind of glad we can keep that in the 3s for a while. Our next milestone will be Tom Turkey Day #2 which will happen 3 weeks from tomorrow. And the day after that we'll reach that referenced 300 Day Marker to Thanksgiving. Talk about a big turning point in the countdown! I don't want to rush to it though. We got to enjoy the ride there. Tomorrow is Thursday and CW will be here to post us a video. I know you all enjoy that every other Thursday. Turkey lovers I hope your dreams of cranberry sauce and biscuits are great. Have a great January Mid-Week!​
 
January is going by great I think! Slow enough that we can enjoy "The Ride", but not so slow that it feels like we are stuck in the mud.

I really like the counts, it is comforting to see 2 out of the 3 counts down in the 200's. I'm with you Edge, I think the Thanksgiving count "needs" to stay into the 3's for a little while longer. I think part of the reason why February is such a fun month for me is because the month ends with reaching 300 days on the Christmas Countdown, and waking up the next day in March knowing you are finally down in the 2's, is just amazing.

I look forward to feeling the same thing here when we get there on Thanksgiving!
 
I'm really at a crossroads for how to celebrate Tom Turkey Day #2. The obvious solution is to have a big dinner, right? But with my wife and I both attempting to diet and be healthier this year, I can't imagine wrecking it with a Thanksgiving-style dinner, so I'll have to get creative instead.

Maybe I'll put on one of the past Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades on YouTube and make us a few "lite" smoked turkey sandwiches. That actually does sound pretty delicious.

Yeah SS! January has to be the slowest month of the year...and yet it moves steadily that makes me always say hey let's enjoy the "slower" time of year. No rush to be moving forward too fast.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 322
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 298
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 237


Happy Week Into January! Yep we have almost gone through a full week here in the month of January. I'm with some of you who want to go slow even in January this year. Because this really is the slower time of year (or usually feels it). Let's enjoy being far, far, far away from all of our goals. Let's look at them this morning in our countdowns: 322 days till Thanksgiving, 298 days till November, and 237 days till The Bers. Our next milestone is a good ways away actually in 3 weeks time from our 2nd Tom Turkey Day, as well as, the next day which will be our 300 Day Marker to Thanksgiving. Back to Back Milestones later in January? Let's not rush getting there. That's too much excitement for me right now. Let's enjoy being still in early January. CW will be here with a video later since it's his turn "every other Thursday." Have a great Week Into January!
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 321
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 297
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 236


Happy January TGIF! Oh yeah folks we almost made it through the first full week of January. That's a big step isn't it? It's cold out this morning (normal for January). But these 3 counts are hot, hot, hot! They are the following: 321 days till Thanksgiving, 297 days till November, and 236 days till The Bers. Our next milestone is Tom Turkey Day which is 20 days from now and then 3 weeks from now as you can see by the math is the 300 Day Marker to Thanksgiving. Back to Back Milestones! That will be huge. But we're taking our time here and focusing only on today right now. Thank you to CW for delivering in 2021 just like he did in 2020 every other Thursday. Another good video posted by him. And enjoyable one for sure. It keeps us enjoying things here all year. Have a great January TGIF!​
