8. Thank you

train ride is nothing special to me. Always take the train to my mom (don't have a car). It sure is less stressful. I can read and listen to my iPod and sleep ... things I can't do in a car (OK, except listen to my music). Any special plans on your side? :hi:

3. hey MissHoneychurch--happy holidays to you

lovely picture--very dramatic! the santa hat is a great flair of color. have fun at your mom's. my daughter came home from school the other day and is sound asleep on the couch after a day visiting w/friends (and she did actually spend a bit of time with me). she's leaving before new years to be back around school--too soon, too soon. i wish she'd stay longer. i really miss her being around.

But my daughter's birthday is on the 30th, and they'll come over for that, so we'll do a late Christmas celebration that night too.

I will survive till then. I will keep asking how much is left each week :rofl: Was it the right chocolate? I did also calendars for my mom, her bf and our Ukranian friends. But for them big calendars. Yours is only so small so that it would fit in the box next to the chocolate :D I tried to find cute but also funny pics. It was hard to find a good one of Sheba and Sashka. Sheba was always moving, Sashka decided not to partake in a photo session .... :rofl:

That's a good plan. You know it's ALWAYS the right chocolate. And I'm going to be there when K opens his ... and accept a piece if he offers! :bounce: :9 I LOVE my calendar and it's a perfect size! Such a cool idea! I bet your mom and friends will love theirs as well. Well, there is that love bug pic of Sheba with Sylvester that I've posted several times. Sashka is a bit hard. We have some cute pics of her. I recall one with her colorful nail tips. :loveya: That one of Sylvester is hilarious, though! :rofl:

And I have to stop at the store for some Chevrie cheese on the way home. They didn't have it at the store I went to yesterday. THEN I have to start getting this place in shape. Got to make a bed for the kids and at least pick up the traffic areas. :rofl:

That's not TOO bad. **sniff** Dec. 25, after we open up our gifts here and maybe have a snack for lunch. Still don't know when the airmen are arriving -- don't even know which day. So Christmas dinner will be later in the day than usual. Harleykid and I both want to spend some alone time with our husbands before we merge into the big happy family. :D

Not sure yet if I got a good one of him. Uploading now. He didn't exactly run down the stairs today. As a matter of fact, he wasn't at all sure he wanted to go out at all. So after he got down the stairs, he promptly ran over to the front door and waited for harleydad to open it. :rofl:

90. LOL!

Small victories ... :rofl: I'm fine, thanks. Shopping was fun and we got good food ... but the crowds were too much for me. Fortunately, we both got hungry for lunch early and were able to eat in peace before the mad lunch rush. :9

93. I agree

the crowds this time of year are just too much. They stress me out, so even though I'm trying to just go out and have some fun...I usually come home all frazzled. blech.

100. I came home frazzled,

but in a good mood. Then harleydad said the contractor called and wanted an update on something we need for the job he's doing. So I had to call the supplier (who was supposed to get back with me about 2 weeks ago) to get a date from him and then call the contractor back. By the time I finished all that, it was time to cook supper and feed the critters. Of course, none of that excitement happens when I'm home all day long. :shrug: How many more days before you can have some just-for-you time? :hug:

It's only when other things are happening that things get busy. I'm off tomorrow at 11:30am. Then I'm cleaning like a crazy person. Friday is the family get together. After that there should be me time! :D :hug:

Stirring a big pot of Glühwein (sp?) :rofl: Bet you're counting the hours to leave for your Mom's. It must be nice to take the train. I wish the US would have a better train system. I for one would take it all the time. Unfortunately, in most places cars are necessary! I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow, so I've got a long weekend. Don't have to be back to work until Monday. :woohoo: Wishing you a grand time at your Mom's! :hug: :loveya:

Expecting 3-6 inches today and another 2-4 tomorrow. There's no place to put that stuff anymore! Hopefully I can get some x-country skiing in. I live within walking distance of a golf course and a lot of people x-country ski there. Can't wait to try it out.

59. good afternoon!

Happy Holidays! I went out shopping last night with my mother and sister. I swear, if the malls across America are anything like the 2 that I went to last night, than I find it hard to believe that our retailer's are in trouble. I wasn't even shopping for the holidays, but because I needed to pick up a few things for myself, and I can tell you it was a mad house. I think I now qualify for combat pay :rofl: :hi: :hug:

is everyone held off, because they didn't think they could afford to buy anything, and then realized, 'oh my god, Christmas is this week, I've got to go buy gifts!' Insane. I was just going to get sheets and towels that matched my apartment. I got some good deals, so I'm good. :D How long are you going to be at your mum's?

69. the sheets are a

blue with a swirl design on them. They weren't my favorite on the shelves, but they were my favorite ones that weren't overpriced! :D The towels are a deep burgundy - almost a wine color. They will go nicely in my red bathroom. I'm trying to tone down the serious fire engine red of the bathroom - and putting lots of different shades of red in it is working. I never would have thought so, but certain family members are right. That sounds like a good break for the holiday. Do you have any special holiday traditions?

75. Ohhh ... that sounds beautiful

at my recent department I decorated my bathroom blue. The new one has beige tiles, so I have to think of something else. Well, in Germany Santa comes on Christmas Eve. Guess he has to give us the presents in the evening so he can go to the U.S. and give out the presents there over night. :rofl: Other than that, no real traditions.

88. That's cool!

I've always liked the idea of Santa. My family doesn't celebrated Christmas, so that's the one part of the holiday I missed out on. We did a lot of the other things, under the heading of "helping friends celebrate their holiday" - like caroling and decorating the tree, etc. - at other people's houses. They would also come and celebrate Hannukah with us, so it was an equitable exchange. :D

99. It was always strange for me

when I was in the U.S. and had to wait till the morning of the 25th to get the presents. I think it is way more nice to get them at Christmas Eve. It is dark outside, the christmas tree is lighten and it is calm and peaceful. Instead of getting woken up at a ungodly hour on the 25th, especially if kiddos are around. And on my b-day I had to wait till the afternoon to get my presents instead of getting them in the morning like here in Germany :rofl:

118. Exactly what I mean

the only discussion we have is "Do we open the presents before or after dinner?" I prefer the version "After dinner". The more suspense the better ... the presents are laying underneath the tree already by then :D

:hi: :hug: I went shopping yesterday with harleykid. OMG! The traffic was bumper to bumper and it was impossible to find a place to park. We just wanted to get a few things, too, and shop for Christmas dinner. Getting around town was a trick -- and I'm glad she was driving! SOMEONE around here has money. LOTS of someones!
