I had the grandkids decorate the kids tree last night - it was so much fun watching them discover the different ornaments. They were standing on the arm of the couch to get them on the back side and I had to kabosh that one... sigh. But it was fun. I sent my daughter (their mother0 over to supervise, and she was on her phone - so I was giving her grief about supposing to be watching them. She said she couldn't watch them...it drove her crazy how they were putting things on, lol. That's the reason I have a kids tree... I don't worry how it looks!!
Can't believe it's Friday...although yesterday was Friday all day. It was terrible...I had to keep reminding myself, no - it's Thursday...no - it's Thursday, lol.
Hopefully you have all sorts of fun things planned for the coming weeks - Christmas Day. We are spending it with family, so it will be good.
There's just a couple of things to look at for today in case you aren't feeling like the norm...
Games Day - play a game with your family! This was started in 1975 in England, so it's been going for a while. Do you have a favorite board game or card game in your family? We sure do. We'll be playing a lot over the next two weeks... :)
National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day - I tried finding out where this started...and it's kind of vague. I thought it was connected with National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, but it's not. Apparently 'ugly' sweaters were started in the 50's as kind of a commercialism to Christmas. They weren't ugly...they were rather nice and tasteful. They kind of waned a little, and then came back in full force after Bridget Jones Diary...apparently.
on a side note... I see on one of my sources that today is National Fried Shrimp day, and on most others it's tomorrow - so since I won't be emailing anyone tomorrow, I want to make sure all of you know that important fact, as I don't like to pass up fried shrimp. Or pretty much shrimp anything... lol
Well - hope you have a wonderful Christmas Season. I'm hoping that we'll get caught up with all the things we want to do, and relax a little. We'll be spending most of the break putting my daughters floor down and getting her moved back home - which is exciting and a little sad at the same time. I hope they'll come visit often!!
so - want to end with some favorite movie clips. First is While You Were Sleeping.
I also love Last Holiday and how she discovers there's a whole nother world out there... (some of us will never see it! lol)
And last...you probably don't think of Lethal Weapon when you think of Christmas movies, and I agree it's not heavily associated, but it is. (Kind of like Die Hard...but ya know - these aren't exactly kid friendly) We watch both of them with filters, lol. sigh. Love the last scene of the first one....
And so - to leave on a little more religious note... the best one of all.
Merry Christmas!
