Morning Karla and Merry Christmas Eve.

We've already opened as a large box came from the kiddies the other day!

Temps for Christmas will be 20 below and snow-what else is new!

Nothing to peek at.

Calendar-yes doctor appt and hairdresser for Jan.

Bet by this afternoon the stores will be paying you to come in and shop!!

Anyone travelling-be safe and Merry Christmas to all.

Good morning Karla!

What is the forecast temperature in your area for Christmas ?
Should be in the 50's here with lows in the 30-40 range. Not exactly white Christmas kind of stuff.

Does anyone have anything already written (scheduled) on their 2009 calendar ?
Yes, had to buy a wall calendar because appointments were getting so backed up.

Good Morning Dear Friends:
And a Happy Christmas eve to you all.
As I celebrate this very special day. I'll be counting each of you as a blessed gift to my life. Thank You for your friendship, warmth, careing and the fun and laughter you have provided me since I joined in March 08.
I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and many blessings and Miracles to be shown to each of your lives.

You might not realize that some of the simplest things that you say or do here at CD are major blessings to any number of other members. But from one, you've blessed me more than you know.
THANK YOU

Today's Question(s)

We used to when the kids were young. Now, on Christmas Eve, we celebrate with my dad's family. Instead of gifts we give to a charity. This year we're celebrating early since we have little ones (grandchildren) again. We'll have a bonfire and walk up Crown Point ... neighbors get together and line the road with luminaries. Always beautiful.
Bonus Question:

Ice today. Tomorrow 36 degrees!

Extra Credit Question:

Oh yes. Meetings.

Just For Fun Question:

Have any of you "peeked" ?
No. I'll have Christmas at my parents tomorrow, so only presents here are what I bought. We've decided to buy only for the kids. I love what I found for them and can't wait to see them open!

Good morning Karla and everybody!

We generally open the presents on Christmas day- Christmas Eve is my Mom's birthday so we concentrate on her.

The forecast temp for today is only in the low thirties, got down to 5 below this morning.

Like tpabes , there is plenty of snow here on the ground, around 8 inches, pretty unusual for us.

Nothing written on my 2009 calender yet; haven't gotten one yet! No peeking for me btw.

Everyone have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
