Time is flying! About the holidays we celebrate, tonight begins Labor Day weekend, there are 62days until Halloween, 73 until Veteran's Day, 89 until Thanksgiving, and 117until Christmas. It's astounding! Time is fleeting!
This week the only Christmas prep was getting all the ornaments I use on the living room tree sorted into keep or save piles then packing the keeps in a container. I also made a decision to no longer set up a tree on the screened porch, so that tree and all ornaments went into the giveaway box.
Additionally I read The Christmas Box. I did finish the entire book even though it reads like the book form of a Hallmark movie.
And that is all I have right now. The room of horrors is still a mess, though it is a lesser mess.
Ho, Ho holy smokes!
Well it makes me sad when you post the days until Christmas, not bc of Christmas but because my jury trial schedule is until the week before Christmas and that means the next 110 days are going to be……. difficult.i am trying to work four and a half more years…. Sigh. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteOh I feel for you with that kind of a schedule. Hopefully there can be some settlement/ plea out of court
DeleteSounds like you are making good progress! Daughter unpacked her Christmas decorations box. I gently suggested we put the items in another box and put in the garage for now, but, they are sitting out on a shelf in the family room.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan!
DeleteThat sounds like good progress to me! Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteIt is not good progress but at least it is progress.
DeleteCan't believe that it's the end of Aug...it seems just like yesterday that we celebrated the Easter..
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth!
DeleteI love that song! Thank you
ReplyDeleteI like it too!
DeleteThat sounds like good progress--sorting ornaments for one tree and deciding to get rid of another.
ReplyDeleteI just have too many things and I am not going to use them again. At some point in the not too distant future we will sell this place and buy a much smaller house and I will not have room for all this stuff anyway. I might as well get rid of it now.
DeleteHa, that's weird! Last night we had our boardgame evening at my place and I had music playing in the background. So I put on Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Show and was teaching Charlie how to do the time warp dance! Such fun! They also had a Rocky Horror Show evening in Bournemouth (UK) and my sister and her daughter went - everyone was dressed up like the show characters. I would LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteTheHub, MY Beloved Sister, and I went to the movie back when it first came out and most people were dressed in character costumes with all of the assorted props like newspaper, water pistols, and toast. It was fun but dang that was a long long time ago.
DeleteI just posted a Christmas update for me too, but when I googled the days until Christmas is said 16 weeks? It is not correct? Yikes. It's flying in way too fast.
ReplyDeleteI am always a week in arrears, but for some reason I had posted 31 weeks instead of 17. I think I missed one week somewhere. Oh well it does not change the time at all.
DeleteI, for one, am impressed at your efforts. Christmas is still a distant idea, back to school is the theme of this week.
ReplyDeleteFor me as soon as School begins it is just a whirlwind until Christmas
DeleteSeptember 1 really does seem to mean the time until Christmas is just a blink. I still have not made summer jam but I guess it'll be fall jam with summer fruit.
ReplyDeleteFall jam sounds great!
DeleteWhen we were cleaning out holiday items, I dragged them to the Salvation Army on Hwy 150 and they wouldn't take them!! Have you found a place that will accept decorations as a donation?
ReplyDeleteWe are on the slide to Christmas - eek!
I am going to put them on a buy nothing FB site first.
DeleteIt sounds like you made a lot of progress. I've always been told the days are long but the years fly by quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think that saying is true!
DeleteWay to go! So far, I've been successful in ignoring our oversize Christmas tree box ... yet it looms like a specter whenever I step in the big bedroom. (That's the only place it will fit in a corner, since I'm too chicken to muscle it up the attic stairs.) One the plus side, I bought my first Christmas present last week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone besides me is buying presents . It is always a big plus! I got 3 presents for my DIL's this week
DeleteHow quickly the Holidays will be here.
ReplyDeleteWe will blink and they will be here
DeleteBetter get moving....I am free for phone consultations. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI probably need to use you, I mean talk to you this week
DeleteI've been knitting and sewing and sourcing gifts all summer. I was just listening to Christmas music!
ReplyDeleteI have been stashing away gifts off and on all year too, but not listening to Christmas music yet!
DeleteHave a beautiful day my friend.
