My husband and I will be searching for new holiday drinks for our upcoming holiday parties. :tree:
Interesting thought process... hoping to get some ideas on this road trip. :xmashigh5:
I just finished filling out most of my Christmas in July cards.
Got my cards for this December Christmas out and they have been addressed, w/return labels. Just got to fill out the message... :gingerhouse:
Just enjoying a nice cup of sugar cookie tea :xmascandycane:
Got a Snowman Christmas Tree set up in my daughter's room... :treedance:
Have been singing Christmas carols around the house. :gelf:
That must be cute.Quote:

Well, not today, but last night we went to an outdoor shopping mall that had a gingerbread house festival in the different shop windows. It was a bit of a disappointment, though, as the shops were all shutting down early (surprising in Christmas week), so it was nearly deserted and they weren't playing the Christmas music that's usually playing outside (which makes it so festive).
Shoveling out my Christmas wish... Drifting and blowing snow, but I am not complaining, the Lord gave us a White Christmas... :presents3:
My son and i exchanged one gift today and the furbabes got one of theirs and we have crackers & cheeses,assorted christmas candies,cookies as we are enjoying an amazing quiet christmas eve and watching christmas movies.
Doing the Hallmark Christmas movies here as well. Turned on the outside displays early this morning and will leave them on now till Christmas morning... :santa1:
I switched our outside lights on this morning also, they'll stay continuously on until dawn of the 26th. The candles in the windows will stay on until midnight tomorrow night.
You lucky duck, Bishop, with your white Christmas! Enjoy it for me! It's balmy here and the snow is all melting. Tomorrow will be 61! The day AFTER will be 30.
My mother and I dropped off gifts to my sister's family earlier. I know we'll be watching It's a Wonderful Life later (my mom's favorite Christmas movie), but not sure what else we'll be doing yet.
Thinking of you guys- hope you enjoy your holiday!
Sounds good except for the White Christmas. Sending love and good wishes your way as well. Hitting the sack soon or going to wait for the big guy? :santa-smiley:Quote:

I'll go along with your thoughts Mistletoe, cuz I'm not sure this is very Christmas like, but I am taking down the outside decor... :santa1:
We have a new "Countdown to Christmas 2021" thread in the section for "Everything Else". Join in and let's see who gets to it first each day!!

Most of that will come down the last week in January, but some of the items in my office stay up year round... :santa2:Quote:

Dusted off the wreaths in the family room and my office, so I can re-decorate them... :carols:
Nothing yet, but I plan to finally get on to QVC Christmas In July!
Besides Christmas music playing, I received some new tree ornaments and a 10 count light for the retro Christmas Village... :santa:
Fun!:hopxmas:Quote:

Very considerate of you. Putting new lights in the large wreath above the main door... :kinky elf:Quote:

I was looking at the tabletop trees at Michaels. And I practiced making a goose (in case I wanted to do it for Christmas).
All year long darlin'... :tree1:
Was doing the same at Hobby Lobby, plus the nutcrackers (15").
Nutcrackers are so stately.
Started making a Xmas junk journal. Made 2 beaded paperclips.
Nice to see you again, Xmasflora! :waving:
I had to look up what a junk journal was. I hope you have lots of fun filling it! Have you made one before?
