I wish we could save time during the rest of the year and bank for the Thanksgiving-Christmas season! :snowwow:

Hoping Arby's still has eggnog shakes while we are there. Looking forward to that tastes of Christmas or at least some eggnog flavored coffee creamer.

So far none of the fast food places have holiday milkshakes. McDonald's has discontinued it in favor of coffee pumpkin spice drinks. No Christmas fun! :|

I'm thankful for this site that lets us come and celebrate Christmas a little each day...all year long. :scene:

While out shopping I saw the cutest little cardboard Christmas Village pieces. At just $1 each they are a very affordable alternative to the large ceramic pieces. And they would look so good under the mini tabletop trees. :thumbs:

I can't believe how silly I would have been to replace this tree because of one light strand. :treewiggle: :treewiggle:

I wish pre-lit Christmas trees and wreaths were easier to repair.

Merry Friday Christmas! We are off taking care of last minute errands. Praying for good weather monday and no travel delays on Monday. Looking forward to spending Thanksgiving in Texas and celebrating First Advent with the family, a new family Christmas tradition.

Merry Friday Christmas!

We are driving up north to a family friends home for a memorial service tomorrow. It is a sad story that breaks their Christmas hearts. I will post as much as possible.

Had a drs apointment today. my blood work was not nearly as bad as I feared. bp was high, but, sigh, such is Life. at least it helps keep the blood sugar down. ;-)
Had a great pre vacation lunch with Perky who took the day off. We did some last minute errands and ate lunch at Wayne's Coffee, Sweden's answer to Starbucks.
It was as relaxing as Christmas Day. The family has posted the 7 day forcast for San Antonio, not quite as warm as Christmas in July, but Close enough. Ugh.

A big thumbs up to your good report and a restful lunch with your Christmas Prince Perky. :D
