We just haven't decided on which night that will be. We might get a rainy day, early next week so it might work out well for then. :scene:


I've already ordered Prep & Landing, and hope to add to our collection later this year. I love Christmas movies all year long! You picked some of the best MM!

I used to live in northern Indiana and never made it to Bronner's (What was I thinking?). My wife went with her mother once and she loved it. Maybe if I go back for a visit next summer I'll go check it out. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Christmas is not only in December. It's in the heart. :snowjump:


I grew up in Indiana and never went to Bronner's either. What were we thinking?!?! :lol:

Music -especially Christmas carols- make cleaning an easy task. I do the same thing here! :singing:

My kids have spent hours at the Prep & Landing site watching all the little 'extras.' They removed the film probably because it'll be released in November. By the time we receive our dvd, they'll know it my heart! Still, a little bit of Christmas kept them happily occupied for hours!

Anybody staying home/taking off work to watch QVC on Thursday? I have an interview with a recruiting firm on Wednesday, hoping to pass it and go on to the next phase for a Christmas in August present! :shop: :toychase: :penny:

I went to Bronners too this past July and had a blast. I posted lots of pictures for everyone to see. It's a really great place and I'm glad you had a good time and I can't wait to see your pictures :D

I stopped by Wal-Mart yesterday and of course we had to check out the toy aisle. They have the Christmas Barbie out already. I couldn't buy it since dd was with me, but she is so beautiful. I can't wait to go back and get her. :snowjump:

I had to get up in the attic this afternoon to get a blanket for my sons bed. His old one was full of holes, so we thru it away. Anyway, while I was up there, there it all was. The Christmas Tree's, the wreaths, boxes of decorations, the wrapping paper, the lighted deer.
Even though it was 150 degrees in there, the Christmas feeling welled up inside of me. I could only sigh and wonder if was going to be able to wait to put up the Christmas decorations.

What is your probability of a white Christmas?
Mine: <5% where I live. But I'll be in northern IN for Christmas. so now I have increased my odds to 26-40% bordering on 41-50%.
