Team Focker Watch - Version 8: When V's Away.. The "Katt" will Play

[jcc0621]

Wow fantastic, well done Jimmy

Thanks Jo

We had a lovely lunch with our friends, then the girls had to sing in a Carol Service and we're now sitting here munching Christmas candy

Sounds like fun!

Sure!

I don't think so - last year we just kept going and going... I did hear that the school can apply to the state to NOT make up the ice storm days, since NH was under a "state of emergency." I've not heard if they are going to, and therefore not if it would be approved.

Hopefully they will do that!

Hi everyone!

I'm several pages behind; anyone have a summary?

I'm bit too fried at the moment to do much beyond sit and veg. Where's the couch-potato smiley when you need it? We had our temple's Chanukah party today!

I was in charge. I've been running since around 8 this morning, and the event ran from 11 until about 1. We had a successful event including lunch for 85 or so people, games and crafts for the kids, hold 'em dradel for the adults, singing, and a menorah contest. Thankfully it's over , and I'll know to run faster next year. I think the most stressful part was getting the supplies purchased before hand. I had two people who were to help with purchasing who were unable to help, so I was running to stores Thursday, Friday and this morning getting supplies.

In any case, I wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone and send happy Chanukah wishes to any of my Focker friends celebrating! I'm off to help Jenny make some preparations for our family's first night celebration tonight!

One last thought as I think I'm beginning to ramble, someone really needs to issue a universal transliterated spelling of Chanukah. I can't keep them all straight, and I've actually spelled Chanukah at least five different ways today that I can recall. Yes, I'm definitely rambling.

TTFN!

Glad you had fun! I want to know more about Hold'Em Dreidel, though!

There's a commercial version if you hit one of the Web search sites. I came up with something home grown. I'll e-mail you my word document of the rules.

SOunds like a lot of fun was had by all but I am exhausted just reading all that

As for a summary there hadn't been much going on. Everyone has been on a snow watch with CE and Mel, but mostly everyone has been just doing quick check ins in between doing all the last minute holiday stuff.

 

[TEminnie]

TE, did you not get a package yesterday?

.

Nope--not yet.........just cards so far. Mail is kinda slow out here tho.

_______________________
It's suddenly COLD here.......gusts of wind.......I'm blaming Canada...........where IS Lessa anyway???

Wow CE--you got some snow. BA is hoping for a white Christmas but so far looks like a COLD one.


So what's up? Everyone wrapping and cooking???
I'm making punch for Christmas eve (cause I LOVE my punch bowl ).......and I found a recipe for cream soda but couldn't find any....anyone heard of it?

 

[TEminnie]

Ok my Jewish friends.........I've seen 2 ways to spell the December holiday......so which one is right??? And why 2 different ways?

Wow that sounds very busy, so what exactly is Chanukah or however you spell it?



I've posted about my Castle Stay on my TR if you're interested, heck what am I saying, I'll be very offended if you don't post there as you're the ones who I want to read it the most

Happy Hanukkah!!!​

Nope, I know several people who don't put thier trees up until Christmas Eve!:

Good, now I won't feel too bad! I love the cookies and gingerbread house you and Jimmy made.

Later!

Glad you got through the rain safe Kristel!

Morning Fockers! Wooo Hoooo...I actually have some DIS time today!!

Hi LL!!! Too funny about Michael! Wonder where he gets that sense of humor from?!

:
I'm checking in before we take off on our trip! To see...the motha.

Cross your fingers and send good thoughts!

Good luck Jen!!!!

Tonight we're meeting some friends at the Brown Derby for dinner. One of my favorites. I know MGM will be crazy but hopefully we can get a good place to see the lights.

I am so jealous right now. Have a fabulous night Angela!

My house, from the road:

Looking down the street - see how it's hard to see?

Just a close up of the big front window:

AWWWWWWWW I love it!!! I'll post some pics to warm you up.

Yikes, good luck. Are you telling her the news?



Happy Hanukkah to you, Jen!

Nope. Not until after the holidays.

My house, from the road:

I read somewhere that there are 16 different spellings. I spell it differently all of the time.

Ok my Jewish friends.........I've seen 2 ways to spell the December holiday......so which one is right??? And why 2 different ways?

There are many ways. There's no right way and no wrong way. Jews like options.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm at the motha's house.

We'll be off for a Hanukkah party tonight. Then we're going to the River of Lights...which is a light display down at the botanical gardens.



Busy evening. But, fun fun fun!

to everyone!

Off to play dreidels with Jon and Lexie!

 

[Goofyluver]

Z...great pics! I can't wait until next year...when we'll get to be there during the holidays!

 

[jcc0621]

It's suddenly COLD here

It's going to be 18 here tomorrow

So what's up? Everyone wrapping and cooking???
I'm making punch for Christmas eve (cause I LOVE my punch bowl ).......and I found a recipe for cream soda but couldn't find any....anyone heard of it?

Jim loves cream soda. You should be able to find it in the regular soda aisle. A&W has a Cream Soda, but we usually just get the store brand!

Ok, so here's the nice pics from Yani's camera from our 4 day Disney trip! I wish I was still there!!

Great pictures Z

Here's some sunshine from Miami!

Front of my house

The Street

Some sunshine

Not very Christmas-y huh?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, off to work. We're doing our own work party those of us who work on the weekends.

Later!

 

[sorul82?]

TE, I sent it through the USPS. All the tracking says is "12/17 received" I don't like how they don't update the progress like UPS or FedEx. I mean is it still in NC? Did it take a detour through FL? Half way up the mountain?

 

[DisneyJo]

Z your photos are great, the Christmas decorations and the lighting of the Castle are just awesome aren't they

Z,

I like the one of you and Yani waiting for Illuminations. That boyfriend of yours better straighten up before someone else snatches you up!
