Thursday 188 - Dig out the Christmas decorations!

[Russian Blue]

I'll have some hot chocolate. Do you have any of those little marshmallows? How about chocolate sprinkles?

It's such a grey day in Toronto with all the rain. But snow is on its way. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad at that thought? Hmmmm...

I'll start by untangling the lights for the tree. Mario, we need to put the lights on the tree not hang them off you silly!

ouuuu, hot chocolate! Perfect on this drizzly day. I'm afraid our sunshine is gone, supposed to get really cold this weekend. Could I have a peephead or two in my hot chocolate? They're so cute! I'll pop some corn and string it for the tree, anybody care to join me?

[davidpizzica]

Oh, Connie hot chocolate will hit the spot! I think I'm a tall enough guy to reach the top branches or I'll get Orc to boost me up. My arms still work even though my artificial knee is on the fritz! Mario, are you trying to imitate my limping?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Sorry about your knee problems David. I hope the doctors can fix you up.

Everyone you all can have your hot chocolate any ole way you want it, even with a drop of brandy if you want. Pass the peeps and popcorn!!!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Hey can I have some hot cocoa too please? I'll start making the cookies to go with the hot cocoa. Where is that gingerbread man recipe?

Yes Mario you can help decorate as long as the decorations end up on the gingerbread men and not all over the bar.

This Thursday is surely more quiet than ones in the past!!!

The best news is that Connie still has power! Woo Hoo! Snow is one thing, but ice and things that make the power go out are another and you need your power, Connie!!

I'll do something cool, even if it is ice water. It is still quite warm in SC, although I know things are going to change tomorrow.

We had chocolate covered popcorn in the kitchen at our office today. Needless to say, it didn't last long, but sure was yummy!

Ooh! Lookie! A Gingerbread Monkey! Very nice, Mario! No, don't bite his head off!

[davidpizzica]

No. Mario! Cherries and/or cherry pits do not belong on gingerbread men!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ooo that gingerbread smells wonderful!!!

It's snowing so hard out, I can hardly see even the edge of the porch. What a storm!!! I think we have a new storm of the century for sure because it's going to effect so many people.

I brought a wreath for our front door. It's battery operated and can burn steady or twinkle. I always use the twinkle myself. I just added the bear in the middle. It also has a light sensor so we won't have to worry about turning it off and on. Here it is:

[Karen]

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my
Spirits fall again
Slice up the fruit cake
We may be rushing things but - deck the halls again now ...
Cause we neeeed a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinnet, yes we
Need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Need a little Christmas now!

****

(Yes there are other verses, but this pops into my head every time I see the title of this thread!)

Yes, Mario - you can help decorate the gingerbread critters now that they are all cool! No, that camel does NOT need three eyes, yes, I am sure.
