"I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending."—Fred Rogers. The holiday season is a great time to reflect on what you're grateful for (like the ability to do your favorite Christmas traditions).

Your efforts, however small, are never in vain. Even the most vicious storm runs its course eventually; as long as you hold on and don't give up, you'll be able to see the sun come out again.

All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)
Song by Alvin and the Chipmunks

Everybody stops and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as can be

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

It seems so long since I could say
"Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be, if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

It seems so long since I could say
"Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be, if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

Sorry I am late opening the new page: end of cease-fire and in war again. It messed my schedule. Sorry again.

Amy · December 01, 2023, 06:09:02 AM

Bubble, beautiful start to a new month, thank you!! Always look forward to you starting us off . There is no need to apologize, I am amazed at what you do with all that is going around you! Please stay safe.

JaneS · December 01, 2023, 06:13:38 AM

Good Morning! BUBBLE, I'm with AMY! We're just so happy to see you whenever we do! The news is so bad from your area that we all worry about your safety. And you are in my prayers daily!

I wish Everyfriend a good day! Make it your own in every way!

Amy · December 01, 2023, 06:23:57 AM

Good morning...

Starting off at 33° with a high of 39° today. We cleaned off the snow yesterday to get ready for snow tomorrow. The long trips the past couple of days made me lazy and now I need to play catch up. Will throw a beef barely soup on in the instant pot while I work about. First we need to pick up meds in town then home to work.

Jenny, a belated to you, hope your day was special

Better get a skip in my step...

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

so_P_bubble · December 01, 2023, 07:11:08 AM

Thanks for understanding. I am very lucky: I am in the safest town in the whole country I think. Far enough from the north and the south that rockets ( up to now) do not reach us. Life in town continues as in normal time and the cafes lining the main street are still full of retirees enjoying their breakfast in a autumnal sun.
I myself prefer not to go out too much.

JaneS · December 01, 2023, 07:32:08 AM

BUBBLE, I'm sure all of us worry about your safety! I'm glad that you are where you are!

JENNY, I'm so sorry to have missed your birthday but it looks like everyone in your family is doing something special for you. Enjoy your day and your family. And I wish you well with your upcoming surgery. If you can, let us know how that goes! Prayers go out for you, too!

Cooper is going to take me for a walk in this 30 degree weather. I'm not sure I'm up to this but he's insisting! I'm off!

CallieOK · December 01, 2023, 09:05:00 AM

Bubble,

Good morning, I should post the same as Rick with nothing happening or scheduled for today. Another quiet day inside for me. I hate to venture out anymore in this ice and cold without a waiting ride.

Jenny, I hope you enjoyed your birthday, Happy Belated Birthday! And nice to hear you're enjoying family time and that all things go well for you on the sixth.

phyllis · December 01, 2023, 03:15:19 PM

Happy Birthday, Jenny.

Thanks, Bubble. Stay safe.

Cold and dreary here. I'm buried under a sweater,
a long sleeved shirt, a knit t-shirt, and a furry throw and listening to a book by Jan Karan. I'm not going anywhere! Except to go to the kitchen to fix sausage and waffles for dinner.

Denver · December 01, 2023, 06:17:26 PM

THANK YOU ALL for the nice Birthday Greetings ‼️

We finished our Christmas Decorating today. Bob got most of the boxes back down stairs until it is time to take them all back up and then down again‼️‼️

Thank you, BUBBLE for our nice new SODA SHOPPE. Everyday I pray for your safety as well as your family and your country🙏🙏🙏 I have to say it makes me feel a bit better when you tell of your location and it being about as safe as it can be from the horrible rockets.🙏

Burrrr PHYLLIS......IT isn't quite that cold here but it is chilly out and a storm is coming our way. They say the mountains, especially the Southwest Moutainds will be getting a lot of accumulation, but not so much here in town. Our granddaughter is dancing tonight at a tree lighting and I sure hope it would not be too cold and snowy for her. Yummy sounding dinner....I would like to join you and David‼️

Must get ready to go watch the show‼️‼️

Have a good evening EVERYFRIEND 🦋🦋

CallieOK · December 01, 2023, 06:39:00 PM

Belated Birthday Greetings to Jenny!

Doctor said both hands (yes, the other one started hurting ) have osteoarthritis and tendinitis and I've been doing the right thing - wearing a soft brace on each hand, icing them, resting, etc. Just have to wait it out.

I can manage meals and personal stuff - but can't twist (like lids or the ignition to the car) or squeeze tubes very well. I can now touch type on my compter keyboard but will stick with reading and expressions - are they "memes"? - on here for now.

Decorating?? I just now bagged/boxed the Fall things and put the pumpkins from the flower bed in the trash!!!!
Will get the next son who comes to bring in the tub of Christmas decorations and will see how far I get with those.

JaneS · December 01, 2023, 08:42:42 PM

Hello Everyfriend! I have no idea where this day has gone but I must have been busy because I really tired.

Tomorrow Cooper will be arriving at about 6:45 and will probably be spending the night with me. Frankie has to pick up a new--er car tomorrow and her father is meeting her to help her get that done after work! So I'll have a bedfellow tomorrow night!

JENNY, I have three boxes of decorations in my "junk room" (no basement in this house) and Cindy put the tree up before she left on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I've been decorating stuff ever since they left! The candles are in the windows; the lights are on the tree; the outside flags are up; the Christmas pillows are on the sofa; there are decorations in my bedroom; and some other "sitty-around" stuff is out. I'm working on it! Maybe that's what's making me tired!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow...or maybe a SAFE tomorrow in Israel!

Amy · December 02, 2023, 07:20:49 AM

Good morning..

We had a dusting of snow during the night, maybe 1-2 inches.

Laundry day plus finish cleaning out the old van and getting it ready to sell.
Didn't get that soup made yesterday as the floors were needing attention. So it may get made unless another project rears its head.

Callie, sorry to hear about your hands. Tendinitis is nasty amd makes using hands /arms painful.I used an epicondylitis brace when mine flared up, thankfully it hasn't flared up in a long time.

Better get the day started..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Amy · December 02, 2023, 09:18:35 AM

Did you hear the crying . Shovel was getting a bit of a work out and crying came from the shed...Mr SB was feeling left out and started to cry! So, the music began and we danced. Now to do inside work.

JaneS · December 02, 2023, 11:07:25 AM

Good Morning! AMY, we didn't have your snow but we had fog so bad I couldn't see to the other side of my yard! It's better now but still bad.

When Frankie dropped off Cooper today she sounded like she should be back home in bed. I didn't go near her but told her I hope her boss heard the same thing from her that I did. He Boss DID! She's back home in bed and I have Cooper unlimited! We'll see what she's cooking up inside her!

I don't have any real plans for today but lots of stuff is shouting for attention. I'd really like to get the Christmas decorating done but it's making progress between other stuff!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. Enjoy whatever life brings your way!

patricia19 · December 02, 2023, 02:49:46 PM

Good late morning from an icy, chill Interior at minus 6. It was minus 9 when I forced myself out of the covers this morning! In early March minus 6 will seem like a heat wave as I know what's coming with January and February! Having said that, Mother Nature's likely to throw an entirely different scenario our way.

I finally started that turkey this morning after putting it off. Five hours at 325° heats this old place. Yesterday we received notice that the bigwigs from the capital will be in town again for a structural inspection and we're asked to call in any needed repairs to maintenance now. That will be interesting as the main maintenance guy is very cat allergic as most building cat owners are aware. We're certainly not at the top of his list!

The inspections for my floor will be on the thirteenth and no time is set as they will be doing two floors each day. Should I mention that rents go up as repairs get stalled? Hmmmm.

RAMMEL · December 02, 2023, 09:52:09 PM

Goodnight anyone ---

Amy · December 03, 2023, 06:51:38 AM

Good morning..

A day of rest here..

Lunch has been taken care of thanks to Phyllis's 15 bean soup (finally got it made yesterday) and supper is breaded pork tenderloin with vegetables.,just heat and eat.

Not sure what else will happen, just know I would like to start a new sewing project so maybe that will pan out???

Jane, a lot of "stuff" shouts here also , some gets done others get duck tape till I am ready to do it.

Patricia, good luck on getting what needs done....notice that they do want their rent money on time??

Better get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · December 03, 2023, 08:31:43 AM

Good Morning All! Cooper spent the night here but Frankie says she's going to pick him up today! I'm hoping she waits until I'm home from church because she tested positive for COVID and I'd prefer that those germs stay outside. Old people seem to be dying of this disease faster than young people. I wonder if that was true of the diseases that passed when I was young!

I better go get ready for church! Have a good day!

patricia19 · December 03, 2023, 12:37:55 PM

Good morning, minus 18 and clear outside which means no humidity, no heat out there, and possibilities of a deeper temperature plunge. Our proposed high will be minus 7 and tomorrow' will be supposedly minus 1/ minus 8. I shouldn't complain as I do live in the Arctic and the deeper cold keeps all those little nasty creatures, bad plants, poison ivies, and some viruses away. Then there's the 24/7 summer daylight. You can't have it both ways.

Amy, the more behind they get the more their hand is out, oddly enough.

Jane, enjoy your time with Cooper. And keep Frankie out of the house, Covid is a sneaky one and catches you unexpectedly.

Yesterday I cooked the turkey and promptly cut, carved, and deboned it before freezing the meat. Everyone's flush with turkeys and you can't give it away. It will be there when I've got a taste for it again.

Amy · December 03, 2023, 12:44:23 PM

Jane, I agree with Patricia.......no one in your house!! I think Frankie should leave you with the snuggler while she recuperates from this...saves her taking the Coop out.

We are getting rain,then snow and if qwe get a lot the Drs appointment qwill be cancelled for tomorrow. Right now we have our stomach full of Phyllis's 15 bean soup!! A hearty soup with veggies and beans.

JaneS · December 03, 2023, 06:21:52 PM

Well, she came and took Cooper home but all her stuff was outside on the swing and all I had to do was open the door and let Cooper out and he ran right to her. So I have the next 4 days all alone. I miss him already!

I guess this will force me to get the work done around here! Today went by pretty fast but I didn't get home from church until almost 12:15. That took care of the morning. I'm wondering what I did with the rest of the day! I now have an "in-family" accountant. My daughter Cathy is taking over my books and she's very particular about things like that. She called me for info 4 times today! And I've put her on name on my bank accounts so she can handle things when I go to find my parents and my puppies!

I sure hope you all had a good day and I sure hope those low temps stay in Alaska. I'm not ready for winter! Today, it rained all day here. I'm kind of glad I didn't have to go for a walk in it with my doggy friend! But I seem to have collected a bunch of footsteps inside! Makes me wonder?

I think I'll go watch Perry Mason...or maybe sleep through Perry Mason! I do that often! Good Night Everyfriend! Sleep well and wake refreshed to a new day!

patricia19 · December 03, 2023, 07:25:31 PM

Jane, don't worry...the Arctic, even our southern fringe of it is like the Mafia, What happens in the Arctic, stays in the Arctic.
