Weekend update and Great Video to boost your Christmas Enjoyment!

Scenes from cozy Place 2010

Morning Sweet Friends,

I am up early this morning cause we have gone to

 bed really early the last few nights, a real record

for us!  lol .  So have been up since 5 cause my

 back want let me sleep any longer............lol

Been thinking about you and wondering

 how you are all coming along with your

 Christmas preparations??  and If you

are enjoying the Christmas Season,

sure hope you are!!

Myself.........I did nothing towards our Christmas

 preparations this weekend, other than early on Friday, 

 but never got as far as I was hoping,  but oh well, 

however did get to watch our lil darling which was

 way more fun anyway!!  

Friday night hubby and I made rolo pretzels candies

(if anyone would like the recipe to the easiest and

tastiest lil goodies imaginable,  let me know and

I will post it) and I also made brownies to take to

 a Christmas get together for Sat.Afternoon, so 

that was fun,  then we watched Christmas vacation.

  My hubby just loves that movie........ and it really 

 is a riot!!   We have always had the made for TV 

version,  but our video is all messed up now,  and 

we have been trying to find a made for TV version, 

 but they just don't exist it seems anymore............ 

Think the cable stations have bought the rights to

 them or something.  So hubby ran to Walmart on

 Friday at lunch to pick up something and saw the

 movie there and bought it, so now we use the TV

 guardian with it, and it takes out any bad language.

So that is nice.......but it sort of takes out the whole

sentence when it does, course, we pretty much

know it by heart by now..............lol

  I think he likes it so much because of the nostalgia,

 cause it used to be a family tradition for us to all

 watch it together  every year.  I love that he is

 nostalgic like that!  It is a good thing!!

 I saw a T-shirt at Wally world the other night,

 that said "The Griswold family Tree" and it 

 has what looks like it has a cross-stiched car

 with a tree on top, on the front of the T-shirt,

so just had to get that for him.  Thought it was

so cute..................

Saturday we went to the Christmas gathering

which was in another close by town,  and an

area of the town we had never been in before

so that was fun.  Then we went out to dinner

at roadhouse grill,  then came home and went

 to bed at 9:30..........that just never happens

here.............think all these late nights we have

had here recently watching Christmas movies

has finally caught up with us!!  lol

Sunday was church of course,  and we had

our Christmas contata in the morning Services

this year,  and oh...........what a lovely contata

it was.  Simply beautiful,  like a little foretaste

of Heaven on Earth.  Sooo.........adds to our

Christmas Celebrations!

Then we got yomii and went to Target to try

and find a new tree topper cause our old one

is too tall...............plus our tree rotates,  so we

thought if we could pin something to the ceiling 

over the tree,  that looks like it touches the tree

 but really doesn't that would work.  Think what

we got might still be too heavy........

Then last night Megan and Scott had invited

us to go to a restaurant they have told us about

but we have never been to yet,  so we went, and

 it was really delish.  It is called "The Garlic",

and it is in New Smyrna Beach,  so it was a lil

bit of a drive,  about 30-40 mins.  Brooklyn went

with us,  and she was so good, and practically

everybody that sees her has to stop and talk to

her and say how cute she is.  Megan puts head

bands on her and they make her look even more

adorable.  So we had a fun evening,  but since

 we didn't get a nap we were whipped again, 

 so hit the bed by 10:00.

Is this a sign we are getting old????  lol

Today,  gotta get that dining room table cleared 

off, so we can mess it up again with wrapping

 paper and bows............lol

Well, I will leave you with a great

 video that will bring you some 

Christmas cheer..............

especially if you feel in need of 

some, take the time to watch it.....

don't think you will be sorry
