Had fun yesterday with the family ending our Marching Band season at the State Finals, now that band season is over, as well as Halloween, we are full steam ahead for Christmas, I have began planning my outdoor lights this year. I like to change it up each year just to keep myself, as well as others on their toes when looking at the house.

So glad you've had some Christmas fun planning your new outdoor lighting display ksrjreed! Please post a picture when you've finished!

We watched "The Thanksgiving House" on the Hallmark Channel last night.
I know it's not a Christmas movie, but it sure was good.
Love those Hallmark Channel Movies!

oh my, have to see if I can find that online. WE had a great time on the cruise. Had lunch at a place called Arizona Saloon. So, I move from Texas to Sweden, go on a trip to Estonia to eat at place called the Arizona Saloon. Gotta love irony. The decor was cute and the food was decent. Almost as much fun as Christmas!

What fun Jolly! Sounds like you had a wonderful time! And now we start the pre-Christmas season!

Only 7 more Sundays until Christmas!!!

Next weekend is Swedish father´s day. We will go to the cemetery and have a better than average weekend dinner (cooking for ourselves after all the fun we have had lately). Then we will be in christmas decorating mode. We usually have a small american thanskgiving dinner, maybe a casserole with some of the frozen shredded turkey. My former husband´s aunt used to have everyone over again on the Friday after Thanskgiving for Turkey Tetrazini. It was one of my favorite Townsend family traditions. Almost as good as Christmas dinner.

Thanksgiving leftovers make the best meals! And we'll be having a tiny meal at home after a day of feasting at my sister's house. My guys can't go without "leftovers" on Thanksgiving night, so I bake a small turkey breast & some frixins. It's not the size that counts.........its the love! And Christmas is sooo close now!

Mince pie (or rather apple raisin pie) is a must for our Christmas dinner.

I hope you feel better soon.
It's no fun being sick during the holidays leading up to Christmas.

Trying to catch up on housework from the past weekend. Listening to Christmas music always gives you the extra energy to clean.

Just found out that I have to pick up my kids from school, wife was suppose to do it but she has an emergency appointment with her neurosurgeon about her incision from her last surgery, we think it has became infected so prayers for good news.

Also I have a question for everyone, would anyone know of any funny (but church appropriate) Christmas skits, I am having my youth group do a more comical program on Dec. 18th and I am in need of suggestions for funny Christmas skits that are good for ages 8-17. Thanks if anyone can help with this.

Wow, what a coincidence. My wife is just now getting over an infection from her surgery two week ago. ER doctor misdiagnosed it but then on a follow up appointment, her surgeon said it was an allergic reaction to the tape that covered the gauze.
I hope Mrs. ksrjreed gets better soon. Praying for her.

Sorry I'm no help on the Christmas skits.

Christmas Crazy, I have that allergy. It is an allergy to the adhesive. For some reason, "sports" bandaids do not affect me as much. There was also some kind of tape used with the ex husband after an appendectomy that is non-allergic. it does not work as well, but neither does it give you an infection.
