Something About Nothing..........# 10

[schumigirl]

I liked the boney bunch stuff too but yep we could never had gotten them back home in one piece. I`ve been quite lucky getting most things home from YC that we have bought over there.

Thing is it`s massively cheaper for us to get Yankee Candles in the States....well most things really.......but I bring home a lot of candles and accessories......DH just shakes his head when I end up back in the store again. We got on first name terms with the staff in the Millenia Mall store But a lot of the stuff they have we can`t get in the UK.....so I have to really......don`t I

9 more sleeps till Christmas DH starts his 10 day break tomorrow morning. Christmas celebrations can begin

Hope everyones doing ok.





Still can`t believe the terrible tragedy in Connecticut. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Those poor little angels and their brave teachers. I pray for everyone involved.

it difficult to even think about the events

saw the hobbit, thought it very good, but admit to being big LOTR fan.

 

[macraven]

are you kidding that it's 9 more sleeps to christmas??
i thought it was still 2 weeks away........



i need to buy a calendar.



but on the other hand, not until it hits the 24th will i be out to shop.

lol........definately 9 more sleeps..........

I have a little wooden countdown that I change every day and Tom even looked twice at it today. He thought, like you it was 2 weeks away

He has been really busy at work last few days so I can see where he`s lost the days.

Hope things good with you mac

I`m very smug now my present shopping is all done, cards all done and presents wrapped. My friend threw a cushion at me when I told her yesterday I was done

She hasn`t started yet either.

 

[macraven]

don't worry, i won't throw a cushion at youse.


besides, it would only land in the yard next to mine.....

Great, a nickname! LG is good.

Just chillin' right now. Kids are old enough to understand the shooting in CT. It almost made me cry when my teen said was sure they would practice the school's emergency plan tomorrow and reassured his younger sibling that a police officer is always in her school. So sad for those lost.


On the happy side, I love Yankee candles. Have the Christmas Cookie scent lit right now.

Hope y'all are having a good night or had one.

I bought the large jar of Christmas Cookie today and Cherries on Snow.....but White Christmas is my favourite.

I like to alternate after 2 nights to keep fragrances strong.



This time next week it`ll be Xmas Eve.......not sure what to do about food. We usually have friends over but they are going to Orlando for 3 weeks. We have been invited out but DH and even DS fancies staying in, so do I to be honest. So very quiet Christmas Eve we have decided.

So it`s either cold buffet for 3.......or chinese takeout?????

Christmas DVD`s will be on.........Christmas Vacation.......Scrooged and the Alistair Sim black and white version of A Christmas Carol. The rest of the Xmas movies like Home Alone, White Christmas, Muppet Xmas Movie and all the others we watch leading up to Christmas.

What do you all do on Christmas Eve......anything special......quiet time.......or big party????

i christmas shop until about 7:00 pm..................hey, when the sons don't give me a list until the last minute, i have to shop on the 24th usually.
order a pizza and call that dinner.

when christmas eve falls on a work day, Mr Mac works that day and gets home around 6:20 pm. a few years he has been able to make it home around 5ish, but he still has pretty much a full day at work.

we have never had family near by so all of our holidays have been spent with those within our 4 walls.
no holiday dinners, gift exchanges, parties with relatives, etc
it was the same way growing up as a kid so i thought all families handled holidays that way until i was much older.

 

[marciemi]

Hey Mac - sent you out my annual Christmas card and had it returned to me for the first time. If you want one of the elegant cards please PM me your new address!

 

[macraven]

marcie, i never moved.............still here going on 28 years...

i'll pm you my same address.

Did you see it in HFR?

we just went with digital this time. Our local cinemark had 3 different 3D versions showing plus the basic we saw. DH's eyes have been bugging him and he didn't want to put in his contacts. Okay by me since the price difference paid for a tub of popcorn and a drink

i keep forgetting to switch out the thanksgiving candle for the same YC pine one i've been working for several years like to pretend we have a real tree.

The concert was a lot of fun, except for the small $9 draft beers ow!

I liked The Hobbit as well. Saw it in digital with my son who had already seen it in 3D and felt that it really distracted from the movie. He liked the normal digital movie better.

She pops in for a cameo appearance on the final episode of 2012 called "The Coat Hanger". Lana and Kit were great in this episode but all is not well. Can't wait for the next new show on January 2, 2013.

BTW Carole...I'm probably going to have some new restaurants to recommend to you on your next visit. I go out with a group of friends from work once a month and we always try new restaurants (at least to me) and so far...not a bad experience. We're hitting an Italian place in Maitland in January so I'll let you know how it goes.
