Morning all,

Glad to see the countdown continues again this year! I am going to try to check on the countdown every day to try and keep a little holiday spirit going through the year! Didnt have the greatest of Christmas, spent the weeks running up to, during and after being ill and actually spent the entire Christmas Day in bed, so hopefully Christmas 2008 will be better! Will hopefully take more time off over next Christmas so can enjoy the season better... already worked out the on call rota for the office, and i'm not on call at all this year for Christmas! YAY!

My girlfriend and I hopefully move into our new house at the end of this month, and I've already been thinking about how I want to decorate it for next Christmas, as well as starting to save for presents/decorations! We took down our decorations at the weekend, but I still have the tree up outside with the lights on (but this will probably come down at the weekend), and we have some 'ornamental twigs' with tree lights on in the living room, which will probably stay up until we move house!

Anyhoo, sorry for the waffle, just trying to stave off some post christmas blues which seem to be hitting me hard this year, after having a not so great Christmas!

Looking forward to the first milestone!!

scoob.

Ah! That's why I started it years ago, Sugarplum!

Days to the Season: 316
Days to Christmas Day: 358

And in case anyone is disparing at the distance, note that our first milestone, the 300-day window, is barely over 2 weeks away!
Of course, our 2008 Season count began back on Nov 14 and has been quietly running along ever since. We are close to TWO MONTHS along in the count!
There, does that help you feel better?

Well, winter has finally arrived in Raleigh with temps in the upper 20's and some wind. BRRRR!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday / Happy Hump Day, everyone!
Look how close the weekend is already!

Happy New Year!!!

I really don't know why, but for some reason I have never really participated in the Christmas Countdown!! What have I been thinking??? What a great way to keep the Christmas spirit/anticipation alive all year long!

We are almost to the 300 day mark already!?! That makes it seem SO much closer!!! My decorations aren't even down from '07 yet, & I'm already looking forward to '08!!!

That means the Season Countdown magic is working.

Like Holiday (another former Christmas.com'er!), I haven't posted alot in the countdown. I'm usually boring folks in the music forum!

Rest assured though, I do visit here everyday and always enjoy the comments, banter, countdown, pictures, Operas,...!
