CHRISTMAS 2015

[Noel+]

I'm leading a Youth group tonight and since my budget is super tight I'm taking snacks from home and raiding my craft room for supplies and inspiration. Of course that's where I keep some of my Christmas stuff so I'll be digging through that too.

Enjoy your youth group tonight CandyKane. They're fortunate to have such a creative teacher -- and one who loves Christmas as well.

Tomorrow Charlie Brown Christmas stamps go on sale. How did I miss this?!?

I know! They are going on all my Christmas cards this year.

I was at the post office Monday to mail a package and inquired about the stamps. They told me they won't be available for a couple of weeks. Then I see this online ad. These are so adorable!! Who doesn't love Peanuts at Christmastime!

Michelle and I are heading to our favorite arts and crafts festival Saturday.
Hopefully we'll find some great Christmas gifts for the family.

How perfect for Autumn! I miss Fall festivals in the midwest too. Hope you find some Christmas stocking stuffers at the fair!

Today I struggled to think Christmas and snowy thoughts while it was 107F!! The A/C went out in the courthouse and the 8 city block walk in this heat was exhausting. Thank goodness its over for another year!

We will hit 2000 Christmas posts in October.
I predict we will hit 2000 posts on October 22nd.

Wow! I just had to share this.
This has been by far the most active September we've ever had for Christmas posts in September.

Our cold front moved through and it's much cooler this morning. Not really cold enough for our main heat source so we are using the infrared fireplace. Not only does it keep us nice and toasty, but it's so beautiful. The look of a real fireplace without the mess. I love this thing. Can't wait to see how it looks with Christmas decorations.

I vote for October 17th. I remember in years past when we set a post goal. I know I posted like crazy the week before Christmas because I was not gonna miss that goal. It was so much fun. I think we should set a goal to reach at the end of this year and a much bigger goal for next year. Give us a number Christmas Crazy!

And, Christmas Crazy, there are fewer members posting now. So that's quite an accomplishment for us all. Cheers to CAY!
