Wednesday – 24/12/2014 – National Egg Nog Day – It Comes But Once A Year!

Happy Christmas Eve! I am trying to pull together the energy to get up and do some wrapping. I am working a late shift tonight, so plenty of time before I have to head to work. Dru will be banished from the room as she cannot behave around scissors, paper and sellotape. She is so funny that I would just let her get involved but the process would last twice as long and I really don’t like wrapping that much. I re-decorated the Christmas tree last night, after the Druster’s mistreatment of it. Also put better lights on it (that don’t flash alarmingly all the time). Many decorations are missing and I do not know where Dru has stashed them. I did my best with knotted bead garlands and robins missing tail feathers. Needless to say, I had a helper. I laughed. A lot. It is her tree really!
Today I plan to be industrious! I hope…….

Good Morning/Afternoon KJ & Judith. Nighty night MS. I enjoy a bit of egg nog, but only a wee bit in a small glass, and it must be ice cold! I did not buy any this year, but there is a bottle of the spiked stuff left over from last year. Perhaps will open that later.
It’s a foggy Christmas Eve here, looks like Rudolph will be helping out tonight.
KJ, your Menorah is beautiful!
Hope your day is as industrious as you plan it to be, Judith. Yes, the tree really is Dru’s!

Paw up waving to all/KJ, Joan, MS, Judith from grey/30’s Brewtown! Happy Christmas Eve Day!
Thanks for the Eggnog fun theme/pics – LOL!
Haven’t had nog in quite awhile. My relatives enjoy it – usually take a bottle or two of the potent stuff for them during Holiday visit!

Wow, great pic of Dorry assisting with pretty Menorah display KJ – thanks!

I’m at this place ’til about noon today. Have a couple errands than straight home for mega wrapping fun!
Will spend quiet eve at home when finished with all Holiday prep – not sure if time/awake to take in evening service otherwise AM will do.
Tomorrow have Christmas with special extended family – hoping niece Di/Sue’s dtr will be able to join us too!
R’s dtr Char is coming in town on Friday so that will continue with Holiday/her birthday week fun!
OK – grabbing cuppa brew as peppermint & back at it!
Hey Tux – here’s the mistletoe – how about a smooch…later all!

Li’l bit more o’ holiday fun:

Mmm…is that what I smell, yummers AV!

Café Kits are nodding in agreement!

or maybe just keeping time with the Holiday Tunes playing in the café today! 😉

Such a dreary day, good thing it’s holiday time to brighten up the place! Another reason why I like TDK land – so bright and cheery.

Merry Christmas JK – see you Friday!

Happy Christmas eve to all who wish and a wonderful holiday to those who don’t celebrate!! Took oldest granddaughters to our favorite candle store all done up with Christmas stuff and smell goods, they had so much fun shopping for their mother! I told them we couldn’t buy the store out (they really have no perception of the cost of things) but they delight in thinking of her unwrapping their carefully chosen gifts…makes me teary.
KJ, loved your beautiful Menorah with Dorry as backdrop, or maybe it was the other way around, LOL and would love to see a close up of your cross stitch on the wall. I used to do counted cross stitch, and was quite good at it too. I now have forgotten probably everything I had learned doing it, it’s been so long since I’ve done one… 😐
Judith, hope you got your wrapping done–I don’t enjoy wrapping either and my girls like to do it with me, and that helps a lot. The cats are no help at all, but then you know the score LOL!
Joan,it’s dreary and foggy here too, but the temps are to drop late this afternoon, and I’ll start another fire in the woodburner to keep us toasty. It was so warm today I watered and misted plants and put them on the porch for the day! They LOVED it! Weird weather, but I’m not complaining. The next two months could deliver a hefty helping of nasty stuff and we won’t dig out until spring.. 🙄
To my TDK family~stay safe and warm celebrating with family and friends and furries! Be good to yourselves too and I will check in with you all tomorrow!

Howdy all!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE, or Happy Christmas Day, and wishing all a wonderful, fun filled day…. 🙂
Just had a frozen Margarita pizza with Pepsi, while watching Christmas movies and getting caught up on this thread. So nice to hear from everyone!!! Love all the cat pix and enjoyed hearing about what everyone is up to tonight! Work was a ZOO today, but the day went by fast. Couldn’t WAIT to get home so I could relax. Ah….
Now eating dessert…. LINDT Lindor truffles…. a NEW flavor of Hazelnut milk chocolate. Very tasty! But, white chocolate is still my very favorite one. But, they were out… 🙁

Watching “A BUCKNELL CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS” on the public channel with a gorgeous choir, Bell choir, and pipe organ. I watch this each year and just adore it!!!!! Before that I saw Laurence Welk’s Christmas and OH, those kids were just too cute singing away the Christmas songs… Awww……
Treated myself today to a heavy duty, clear, plastic, HUGE (12″) snowflake decoration. Hung it in the window and it looks lovely! The store also had small ones I was eyeing up days ago and then they got in the HUGE ones and I just HAD to have one! Got one for young neighbor also, to match mine, to go along with her other gifts. 🙂 May pick up a couple more for next year’s gifts for my other two special little girls. Already sent their boxes out, and they have them for tomorrow. 🙂
