We had a little snow this afternoon that's dusted the ground. We have a chance for more tonight so I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow. :snowwow: Now we just need Christmas to go along with our snow. :snowhead:

I finally broke down and got Amazon Prime as a Christmas present to myself (and the family of course). Love the free 2 day shipping.

We're supposed to get a dusting of snow tomorrow night. Fingers are crossed. It would be nice to see snow this year. I wish we would have had some on Christmas day.

Sleep well tonight Christmas Elf Jolly.


Funny. stayed up too late watching tv with hubby. Once I pass my "sleep threshold", I am up for Another 6 hours. During the night it occurred to me that my grandmother did not work outside the home during my lifetime, while my mother worked mostly fulltime plus (she Went to school too for several years). Thinking of it like that it would seem that my mother is more Amazing. How did she ever manage to create some nice Christmas memories while living that Schedule.

Hope my Christmas friends have a great 13th Day of Christmas (Trettonsdagen). We had a nice breakfast of french toast and are soon off to Church. Then the usual weekend routine kicks in with friday night shopping and kebab.

Glad Trettondedag Jul!

Thank you for the suggestions about the Christmas projected lights for the large evergreen tree. It is definitely something that will add to next year's decorations!

To celebrate Friday, I will definitely be enjoying some peppermint hot chocolate and a hallmark Christmas movie tonight after work. You can find so many on YouTube. I am thinking about tying the Feeln app for the movies as well because the YouTube video quality is somewhat lacking at times. Happy Christmas Friday my friends!

Our forecast was for a dusting too and through the night the line moved north and we have an inch on the ground now. Still snowing lightly. It's turning everything outside into a beautiful Christmas card. I'll send some of it your way. :elfgrin: :flake: :flake: :flake:

I loved the FeelN site until it locked me out. I can still see what they are offering, just not actually Watch anything. If you can access it, I highly recommend it. I noticed that even A Rose for Christmas is already on YouTube, but have not watched it yet. Shh.....I don't want Hallmark to notice and take them down or block them. Let us make it our Christmas secret!

Your Friday Christmas celebration sounds like the perfect way to end Epiphany.

I was thinking of watching Christmas in Paradise since the Three kings sort of weave in and out of it.

Just ordered my first gifts for Christmas 2017. Handmade aprons for all the little girls on my shopping list. :shop: :hohat:
