I asked the question about the wrapping paper because I'm known to spend more on the paper & ribbon then the gift! :lol: No really...I LOVE to buy fancy paper and buy matching bows,ribbons and gift cards.
Shelley, Our last day of school is Tuesday.It's a half day. When the kids leave at 11:30, we're having our staff Christmas party. Then we won't have to go back until Jan.5th. I can't believe you work all next week!! :)Happy Birthday Allison!! :) Tell Mommy to give you a big b/day hug from me!! Where Is Everyone????? Please Post Soon!!!!! |
Allison says thank you for the birthday wishes!!!!! She opened present from us earlier...tomorrow we will have the party with the Grandparents.
I LOVE pretty packages! I'm thrifty though...usually I go with victorian like designs and just use one matching bow. I use the little self sticking labels. The nice thing with Steve off the week of Christmas~~~he will do all the wrapping! I just sit one thing at a time out in front of him and he does the rest! Shelley, your outfit sounds very pretty and festive! I KNOW you will look gorgeous! I finished all the Hospice cards, I have until Jan. 10 to do the special order, so I will wait until after Christmas. CLEANING HOUSE TODAY~~~~CAN YOU SAY YUCK!!!! :-) |
Where Is Everyone????????
We had a fun day with Debbie & James. I bought 4 gifts...Woo-Hoo....On a roll now!! :lol: It did help me get in the Christmas spirit some. Remember last year when we did Christmas Carols? I thought it would be neat to do it again....I'll start...Please join in! :D :) Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolf play in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: "Rudolf with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history! :) |
Sherry-Thank you for the card. Your family looks wonderful! Who is the Santa in the picture?
I couldn't find a thing yesterday when I went shopping. I've never been this much of a last minute shopper before. I figure I'll see it when the time is right, though. The wedding I went to yesterday was wonderful and laid back. It was at the Holiday Inn. There was not a dry eye in the house, since this was the 2nd wedding for my friend and long overdue (her first husband died when her daughter was 18 months old and now she is 14). I ate probably 20 points just in the snacks there. I guess I'm not used to eating fried foods, because my stomach was really hurting by the time I got home. Quite a few people from school were there and we all had a great time. The bride and groom rented a hotel room for the daughter and some of her friends, so Patty spent the night there. I have to get her before she goes to work today. |

:) Tennessee Christmas :) Come on, weather man, give us a forecast snowy white Can't you hear the prayers of every childlike heart tonight Rockies are calling, Denver snow falling Somebody said it's four feet deep But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter I'm gonna choose to keep. Another tender Tennessee Christmas The only Christmas for me Where the love circles around us Like the gifts around our tree Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado Than my roof will ever see But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me. Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me There's a parade there, we'd have it made there Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting Still I think I'm gonna keep. Another tender Tennessee Christmas The only Christmas for me Where the love circles around us Like the gifts around our tree Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday It's the only place to be But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me. :merry: |

Great idea Sherry!
How many gifts do all of you usually buy your family members? Steve & I do 3 presents each which could even have more then 1 thing in the box, then we get 1 gift each from the kids. We try to do it so the kids will have more stuff to unwrap, they usually end up with 6 things from us and 1 from each other, plus the Santa gift. Also, I grew up were the one thing we really wanted came from Santa on Christmas morning, this gift would be unwrapped and just sitting there for us to see. Steve grew up not getting any Santa gifts other then his stocking would be filled from Santa. Those of you that celebrate Christmas, how did you grow up doing it and how have have you continued through your own families? One of my all time favorite songs heard at Christmas, but I like it anytime of the year. In fact, we played the Barry Manilow version at our wedding. Ave Maria Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Ventris tuae, Jesus. Ave Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Ave Maria Mater Dei Ora pro nobis peccatoribus Ora pro nobis Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis Et in hora mortis nostrae Et in hora mortis nostrae Et in hora mortis nostrae Ave Maria Ave Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum |
This one seems to put me in the holiday spirit!!!!
Winter Wonderland Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? we'll say: No man But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we've made walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman until the all the kids knock him down When it snows ain't it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland walking in a winter wonderland |
I just got home from my Aunts. She lives about 2 hours from me. Dad's side of the family was all there.We had a great meal and I enjoyed visiting all my cousins.
Shelley.....The wedding sounded nice. I love simple, nice weddings. nothing too big or fancy.The room for the kids sounded too cool! BTW: The Santa in the picture is one of those animated talking ones.Mom bought it for us last year after Christmas. Debbie....I love your songs.... especially the Tennesee Christmas one! We had a great time yesterday shopping, eating, playing cards and LAUGHING!! Gayle....I love "Walking In A Winter Wonderland!!!" That's one of my favorites! I haven't heard of the other one. I couldn't read it either because it wasn't in English. My childhood memories that I carried on to my children: We would get 1 big gift from "Santa" that was left unwrapped under the tree like you Gayle.Then everything else would be wrapped up from Mom & Dad. Dee......I have been thinking so much of you lately. PLEASE have Larry post us a quick reply and tell us how you are!! I love & Miss you so much!!!! Carol.....Did you runaway on your b/day???? I sure miss you!! Ramona....I know you must be having a very rough time right now with your boys gone and I'm sure you're thinking of your Mom. Please know that your Mom is wanting you to have a nice Christmas.Would you please drop in for just a second and say hi so I won't worry. I'm very concerned about you. HUGS!!!!! Love you!!! Vicki, Cheryl & Doni.....Did you leave us? If you're lurking out there...please know that I'm thinking of you and wish you would post! Did I leave anyone out? If so...please forgive me. Here's my song for today: Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth. And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in. Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel. |

The Christmas Shoes It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously Pacing 'round like little boys do And in his hands he held a pair of shoes His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe And when it came his time to pay I couldn't believe what I heard him say Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time You see she's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes would make her smile And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight He counted pennies for what seemed like years Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here" He searched his pockets frantically Then he turned and he looked at me He said Mama made Christmas good at our house Though most years she just did without Tell me Sir, what am I going to do, Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out I'll never forget the look on his face when he said Mama's gonna look so great Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time You see she's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes would make her smile And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love As he thanked me and ran out I knew that God had sent that little boy To remind me just what Christmas is all about |
OOOPPPSS! Here's the English version like we had at our wedding. It is such a peaceful and beautiful song...
Ave Maria In English Sweet Lord of giving Teach me the meaning of your love Show me the way of true contentment and wash the burden of dought from my soul Take my fear, replace it with knowledge devine Though I'm weak make me strong Each day I'll be more understanding Each day more patient and peaceful within and faith will lead me closer to wisdom Let wisdom deliver me closer to Him |
Debbie, the songs are pretty! I'm not familar with TN Christmas or hard candy Christmas, it seems like I've heard the Christmas shoes. I usually do better just hearing the song compared to trying to recognize the lyrics.
