So we just have to poke our noses out, and see what we're getting. Well, this year we actually had snow here, it really was white out there and when we got to our family closer to the city, there was none! Sorry you didn't get your promised white! But sounds like you had a lovely day! That peace and quiet actually gives more time to reflect on the real meaning of the day - and kudos to T#3, he knows what it's all about!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079854415508985725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-52998617575592333992012-12-26T22:36:57.726-06:002012-12-26T22:36:57.726-06:00Sounds like a great relaxing Christmas Day!

I wonder how the weather people come up with their forecasts; they are right about 50% of the time, but I guess it is an art trying to figure it all out :)<br /><br />I'm with you; not much of a shopper the day after the holidays; I'm sure the malls were packed though!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-53993930248647208912012-12-26T20:59:19.249-06:002012-12-26T20:59:19.249-06:00And about taking down my Christmas decor - - - NOT...<br />And about taking down my Christmas decor - - - NOT UNTIL AT LEAST AFTER THE BSC NATIONAL TITLE BOWL GAME.

Round our house we LOVE snow - - - so when they start hyping a storm we get our hopes up, only to have them dashed to the ground.<br /><br />Now it's even worse - - - now they throw around the term "blizzard" like they happen every other week. AND they are even NAMING the winter storms.<br /><br />I just want some good regular snow storms and enough cold weather to freeze up the lakes and keep them that way for ice fishing.<br /><br />No, not that I myself ice fish, but it SHOULD be happening 'round here and we need enough cold to enable it.<br /><br />Yes, we have about 8 inches of snow on the ground - - - but we need MORE and MORE and MORE.<br />Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-17303892569858493942012-12-26T20:45:21.892-06:002012-12-26T20:45:21.892-06:00There's rarely, if ever, a chance of snow in t...There's rarely, if ever, a chance of snow in these parts. But how I would LOVE it if it did happen! We had snow on Christmas in 1989- it was the Christmas after Hurricane Hugo-the snow covered all of the debris. It was truly a gift from God. I'm a little embarrassed to say how many times we watched several Christmas movies this season- so twice is perfectly acceptable.

I'm about to freeze!<br /><br />I got my inside decor down and am hoping it warms up a little before I have to take down the outside.<br /><br />I don't do after Christmas sales either. Just not worth it! Well, I did pick up some 1/2 price stuff at Wal-Mart today but I didn't go for that reason.<br /><br />Happy New Year!Lea @ CiCis Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252011706208068724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-75388284077861383872012-12-26T19:08:33.216-06:002012-12-26T19:08:33.216-06:00Meteorologist were wrong and so were the Myans.

I think our weather was headed to your area-at least that is what the news said last night. Usually I take our tree/decorations down the day after Christmas but this year I'll leave it up til Monday. The house has looked so nice, I love all our collections. We had a great day with family and got some lovely things. Although we weren't supposed to get anything for each other we did...but I know we'll enjoy what we got.<br />Have a warm evening.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-74470135711530542902012-12-26T13:17:03.299-06:002012-12-26T13:17:03.299-06:00It sounds like the best kind of Christmas at your ...It sounds like the best kind of Christmas at your place.

All of my Christmas tree decorations are down and put away and now the vacuuming then I will be ready for the New Year. OCD's Unite!!! :) I had to laugh about you not getting snow. <br />The forecast said 100 percent rain. WE didn't get a drop! <br />Well, break is over so I better get back at it. <br />Have a lovely day, I am so glad you had a nice Christmas.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-57396526703717376172012-12-26T10:34:32.035-06:002012-12-26T10:34:32.035-06:00I am very glad the snow missed us!!!!! ;-) I am very glad the snow missed us!!!!! ;-) Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020604933621899108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-10818059290956151522012-12-26T10:10:42.406-06:002012-12-26T10:10:42.406-06:00We're getting the snow too.

Love the story of your T#3!<br /><br />We're not doing sales either because of the snow. We were going to see a movie, but again the snow is a problem. So we're just enjoying the day relaxing at home. Although I may have to go into work in a bit. I have to go in one day this week to do payroll, but they are having software issues, so I'm not sure yet when that will be.<br /><br />Hope you have a great day!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-55463255037834874162012-12-26T09:27:06.539-06:002012-12-26T09:27:06.539-06:00I take my tree down on New Years... hate taking it...I take my tree down on New Years... hate taking it down :( It just seems so lonely once its gone.<br /><br />That snow that missed you - its been hitting us all morning - YUCK!<br /><br />Glad you had a great Christmas... sounds nice, relaxing & family filled :)Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.com
