How about a Keurig coffee machine? I love mine!

I wish. But she doesn't drink coffee.
But hey, I do. Maybe I should buy it for her, for me.

I'll keep thinking.

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
29 degrees this morning in middle Georgia. Brrrrrrrrr.

Shopping is complete. But..... I sure would like to find one more present for my wife. I really want to surprise her with something neat.

Anyone have any ideas?

she'll love it!!!

Every year my hubby buys at least one Christmas present for me....for him.

I found out today that 2 of my Sunday schoolers won't get to be in our Christmas program. This makes me so sad. I'm trying really hard to keep up my Christmas Spirit but it just seems like so many things are going wrong this year.

That would be a present for her, that's for me.
Plus, I don't think I want her to get hit like Crosby got hit the other night. OUCH!

Today we had our Christmas Party where the managers fix breakfast at 7am for all of us! We karoke, have Christmas contests and I won a free coupon for Ruby's! Who doesn't know that 'fragilee' comes from a Christmas Story movie:?!

I'm scheduled to work tomorrow, so I flexed a couple of hours today. The UPS man brought 2 gifts I had ordered and then the postwoman delivered another one. So after work tomorrow, I'll be wrapping up the last of the Christmas gifts!

At the grocery store [picking up last minute items for the holiday meal Christmas Day] they had a Salvation Army bell ringer out front. I was delighted! That organization gives to all people with humble generosity. True Christmas spirit!

I had a great night with friends for a dinner party. They are going for a ride, with their kids, on the Polar Express tomorrow! I am very jealous!! I am sure they will have a blast!

My mother wants to borrow may "ugly Christmas sweater" for a work party tomorrow. I don't know if I should be insulted or flatered.

[CandyKane]

I'd be flattered kiwi. That must be one heck of an ugly Christmas sweater.

So hard to believe in just 2 short weeks I'll be enjoying Christmas Eve with my family. This year has really flown by at reindeer speed.

[CandyKane]

My dd is gonna be a reindeer in her preschool Christmas program. I can't wait.

Little Drummer Boy!

The words and music to the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy was composed by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. The lyrics of Little Drummer Boy consist of no less than 21 rum pum pum pum' - a major part of the song and therefore presenting an apparently easy task for the lyricist! However, Little Drummer Boy has been a huge hit for several artists. The most notable rendition was created by the most unlikely combination of Bing Crosby and David Bowie. This version of Little Drummer Boy was a massive hot for the artists and was in fact Bing Crosby's most successful recording since the legendary White Christmas.






Little Drummer Boy: Lyrics
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

I watched Four Christmases last night. I haven't watched it all year so it was a real treat.

[kiwidogy_max]

I finished watching the Polar Express movie last night. Love that movie. Now my toughest decision of the day is whether to watch Christmas Vacation or Fred Claus.

[CandyKane]

Woohoo! I just redemed my points for $20 worth of Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks. I'm gonna save these for some REALLY early Christmas shopping in January.

[CandyKane]

I'm having the hardest time getting in the Christmas wrapping mood this year. Every day I wrap a couple gifts and then I put the rest off til tomorrow. Pretty soon I'm gonna run out of tomorrows.
