OMGOSH! She is adoreable. She has got to look like her Mama. j/k

LOL! I resemble that remark.

((HUGS))) She is a cutie pie. Enjoy that baby because they grow up so fast.

For me it's not Christmas without a nice glass of Eggnog and some warm peanut-butter fudge with a football game on the TV.

SNOW of course and YES....*ahem* I'm having a White Christmas this year, first in EONS

Let's see, it wouldn't be Christmas without my caramel corn, tamales and this year sadly, it's my first one without my father, truly sux when I think about it

Good chocolate,
Good friends,
A healthy family,
The crew here by the S2k pot belly stove,
...and of course our grandangels

I know it's Christmas when either MY family is po'd with us, or HIS family is po'd with us. This year, it's BOTH!

'Tis the season Jen.....I must admit I did crack up reading your post. Too funny.

We're very, very late taking our annual family xmas card photo and we just took it, at half-time during the Bengals game. I think this was the first year we took it in under 5 minutes. Anyway, we were all bickering and fighting, just before the flash goes off and suddenly, we're all smiley. I just sighed and of course laughed, b/c well it wouldn't be xmas without bickering! Even the dog was grumbling, we kept making her sit and sit, with a silly red hat on. She's pretty annoyed with us right now....he he.

Hang in there.....it's just a week away now!

"It's A Wonderfull Life", How The Grinch Stole Christmas", "A Christmas Story", and many others. Also putting up the Christmas lights, just to take it all back down 4 weeks later.

And 100% true too! I'm just too tired to care this year, and Dave is too. For 20 years we've tried to appease everyone and someone is always disappointed, so for a change, we're pleasing ourselves this year. My Mom gets it - she's sick of it too! It's mostly my sister and MIL that have the picture of the big happy family togetherness thing at Christmas. If we don't do things their way, we'll hear about it for weeks. The way I see it, we'll get the martyr act or a chewing out from someone anyway, so why bother?

I can just see poor Hope with her goofy hat on glaring out of the picture! So where is it? We wanna see!
