Been a busy couple of weeks, have been going through some financial problems but with prayer all that has been taken care of.

Although I have listed a lot of different issues and things that we have been doing over the past couple of months I love this time of year and how hectic it can be, it kills me listening to people in stores as they complain about Christmas and the holiday season as if it is a burden, in fact I told one person in a store last year if it is a burden then you have your priorities in the wrong order, my wife didn't like me saying this but sometimes the truth hurts, well will be back on later after some house cleaning, Christmas music, and hot chocolate (it got cold in southern Ohio). :smilecc:

Go Bearcats!!!
I love Fall, Thanksgiving, and the Christmas season.
I'm glad you spoke up. It is quite possible they may have their best Christmas ever, if they got their priorities straightened out. All because someone cared enough to tell them the truth.
Press on!

Well, we tried to get a lot accomplished today, now getting ready to take my youngest daughter and son to our Girl Scout troops Halloween party, then will probably come home and watch a Christmas movie.

Just great to hear from you again DJTEEL! :D

Rejoicing with you that your father will be home & sharing this Christmas season with all of you! :smilecc:

Directv has Christmas music starting early in November too. And Hallmark channels start the Christmas season movies before Thanksgiving too. Wonderful season of God's love! :D

So many answered prayers for you & your family ksrjreed! :D

How wonderful to have your daughter close while at college and near the hospital where your other children are treated. That way she can stop to visit them too!

And yes I agree people often give in to the pressures of time instead of focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. We all need a little reminder now and then to "keep the main thing - Jesus - the main thing"! Good for you! :smilecc:

Puddin Plum-Pants. Good thing I was Jolly O´Leary on another forum last year. Imagine a facebook page under the name Puddin Plum-Pants. Do not want to think of what kind of spam I would get with that. No Christmas fun!

Merry Friday Christmas! Tough choice, Halloween music or christmas today. I forgot the Christmas mp3 so I guess I will listen to Halloween OTR on Live365. I have found halloween memories even though I was never allowed to trick or treat, or go to regular halloween parties. But I do have fond memories of the "hobo parties" we used to have at church before "halloween alternatives" were in fashion. They were almost as fun as Christmas.

I might add that the A name is the same as last year. That´s my Perky!

Jolly Monkey-Buns.

That is an original name I will say that, and you would have to be full of the Christmas spirit to even say your name let alone want anyone else to call you out in a public surrounding. :smilecc:

Yesterday was a pretty good day here in the Reed household, things are going smooth, I do finally have the tree lit up and decorated (don't think my wife likes the idea of LED lights on the tree, but my tree can now be seen from a few blocks away (also told my kids that I used LED so Santa would have no problem seeing as he walked through the house), I have already decorated my living room as well, which I always do when I say I am not doing it, but the tree looks so good that the rest of the living room looks bland, so I Christmas-fied the rest of it. My kitchen still has a fall look which I am happy with because I do like the look and feel of fall in the kitchen, especially when there smell of good food is coming from there. Well, about ready to take the Mrs. to the mall then off for some physical therapy before Senior Night tonight at our school (wish me luck, I'm not worried about my daughter, it's my wife that won't make it through). :smilecc:
