The Countdown Begins – 2 Christmas Quickpages for You

Do you all countdown for Christmas? I can remember when I knew to the exact minute how long it would be before Christmas break started. The sad thing is I was a teacher then and not a kid, so I really had no excuse. There is less than a week til Christmas and I am beginning to get a little of the spirit. We are hoping to get enough rain and moisture that the county will lift the burn ban and we can have a bonfire in the fire circle–roast sausages and stuff. That would be a great Christmas Eve party.

The week started out with a bang but really fizzled into nothing.

Monday the youngest daughter called saying she had car trouble and would daddy please come help. Before he left (of course he would not refuse to help!) he told me to get her AAA membership for the future so she would not have to depend upon him. Well, when he got there he saw the tire in front of the car and the fender all bent out of shape and his heart just about quit working. But, she was OK and her car trouble turned out to be the fact that as she was driving down the road HER TIRE FELL OFF!

How shocking can that be to be driving along, hear some funny noised, brake and find out the brakes don’t work and then the tire just falls off? Thank goodness she was only going about 20 mph when it happened. Daddy had just changed out the tire the day before and figures he must not have put it back on right and blames himself big time. Its still in the shop and you can figure out who is paying for it. Of course if hubby is to blame than we SHOULD pay for it. She also got a AAA membership for her birthday out of it too.

Crazy Diamond sent our DSS group an awesome link this week. It is about loved ones who are spending Christmas in Heaven. It really struck home to some of us who have loved ones in heaven and who miss them at Christmas time. It is at:

It will take a few extra minutes to download but it is well worth the wait. Please go visit it.

Another link was sent today by Kathy’s Scraps. This is a Nativity Story and really was done great. Because it is a UTube I can embed it here!

I really have been having trouble with my IE–to the point I am using Firefox right now. Do you all use IE or Firefox? I have downloaded the same security update for the IE twice now and it really messes me up since you have to restart your computer. I generally have a lot of stuff open that I am working on and to have to close everything and then wait for the restart. It takes about 30 minutes for my computer to restart. (Gotta lot of stuff on it and a lot hooked to it.) So, when Kathy sent this link to the Nativity Story and it would not work, that was the final straw. Now it just need to figure out how to use this FireFox thingie!

I made some Christmas Quick Pages for you all. The papers are made by me and the elements are from my extensive CU stock. The tou will give all the details. These would be great for those last minute Christmas photos you want to share. Enjoy!
