I'm sorry I skipped posting last night, it was almost midnight when we got back from yet another day long shopping trip, and I was so tired I couldn't think straight and I wouldn't have had time to get it posted before midnight so I just crashed.
We managed to accomplish alot tho, we got stuff for his sister and her husband and a few more things for his niece, found something for my mom. We still can't find the groom for Chantaye, but I found the most adorable little Care-Bear for Angela, it's a new one, it's pink wearing a little diaper, they have a little blue one too, so that one is next on the list lol
I think Greg & I have got to be about the 2 densest people on Earth! Oh sure we generally blend in pretty well with regular folk, but I think we should be pushed over with the circus folk lol
I think I mentioned that we ordered his mom this really pretty set of plates with a winter scene? well anyway...last night right before we went to sleep (around 2 am actually) he had some sort of a brain surge or something and he ran in here and flicked the computer on, I thought he had just flipped his wig ya know..well anyhow, turns out that when we were at Dillard's yesterday he noticed that a 5 piece place setting meant just that, 5 little pieces..see where I'm going with this? rofl! yep, you're exactly right! we had ordered and shipped 5 lousy little pieces! anyhow...he was really quiet and then he yells out "Well SH**!" that alone got me tickled so I asked what was wrong, he came in there grumbling and mumbling to himself and started digging for his wallet and explained what *we* (I only watched lol) had done! I almost fell outta the bed laughing at him! He has now shipped a second set, so there will be enough for his mom and Dave, somehow he doesn't find this all quite as amusing as I do lol My poor sweetpea was even so embarrassed the note he sent with it mentioned that if he had been smart enough to think and pay attention in the first place we could've sent both boxes together lol
I have to get the kids gifts for school wrapped and ready tonight, they are supposed to take them tomorrow, I guess that's so the teachers will know if anyone is being left out. I've got to remember to wrap all the stuff and fix all the cards to go up north too so Greg can get it to the post office or the shipping place tomorrow. I guess we're doing a little better time wise this year, considering half the time we don't mail stuff until the 23rd lol how awful are we? (no please don't answer that lol)
1. Do you have a favorite Christmas carol? If so, what is it and why is it your favorite?
a carol? hmm I kinda like Silent Night, but there are other Christmas songs that are my favorites, but they're not really carols
2. What is the one Christmas carol you absolutely can't stand to hear?
I haven't heard many songs in so many years it's hard to remember, but I used to bristle everytime I heard Oh Christmas Tree
3. Have you ever went out caroling?
nope, that's not real popular around here for some reason, matter of fact I don't know if it's done at all around here
4. If you had to pick a character from Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", which character would you be?
Scrooge! lol that's what Greg is calling me now, "Hey Scrooge, bring me that bag"
5. How many Christmas recordings do you own?
oh mercy I don't even know..there are some cassettes in yonder and I've got some cd's over in the cabinet, I'd be afraid to guess but I can tell you I have 2 favorites (1 cd, 1 cassette)

I always get confused and have to think a second about those place settings too. LOL Poor Greg :) My dh is the same way, it would have been a "we messed up" thing for sure, couldn't have possibly been him alone. LOL
Have a wonderful week Aretha!!

Hi Aretha. What pretty graphics. I love the little kid on the sled. :) I too hate "Oh Christmas Tree" I never considered that a carol. I own at least 20 Christmas cd's. old & new versions from standard 50's singers and up to Celine Dion's. In fact I'm listening to them now. We ended up with a foot of snow. So far in a weeks time we've have 3 feet of snow. I'm so looking forward to Spring. LOL!! Have a blessed evening. (Hugs)

Hi Aretha! I love your Christmas look! Outstanding. Hope you are having a good start of your week.
I had a slippery drive to work this am, roads were a mess after the 7 inches of sleet/snow combo.
Have a great Monday! Hugs!
