Record it Cooky! I have tapes from many years past that I love to put in and play in the sewing room while sewing for christmas. It keeps me focused.

I fulfilled three of the santa list items my niece wanted for christmas this week. She showed up thanksgiving with her hand written list to show everyone. LOL! I made copies on my copier and she distributed them to her aunts and uncles.
What a hoot!

[QUOTE=Anoka Quilter;7953744]Is SuzieSew excited for opening day :wave:

Yes...yes she is!! :D


Only 2 more sleeps till opening day!!

How about a favorite movie?? Mine is the Muppet's Christmas Carol...(I'm just a kid at heart) closely followed by Rudolph!

"a Christmas Story" about the boy who wants a BB gun for Xmas. the boy actor reminds me of my youngest boy Adam wen he was about that age. We used to tease him about doing the acting and not telling us and asking what he was doing with the royalties. Now that Adam is gone, it is hard to watch that movie.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

So sorry rose irish

The Homecoming which launched The Waltons TV series. And the old black-and-white Christmas in Connecticut. I dream of living in that house!

One more day to open ornament, I will open my package early, because I work tomorrow.!!!!

I always look forward to the original "Scrooge" and "It's a Wonderful Life". But, I have to admit, I do enjoy laughing at cameron dias in, "The Holiday" and not christmas but, "It's Complicated"

It's our last night to stare at the unopened package...this is more exciting than Christmas morning!...well, almost! :p

RoseIrish, I feel your sadness. This time of year really brings it out. Sometimes we have to grieve again and again. I can't imagine losing one of my sons... I think it would kill me. So my heart breaks for you... I hope you have someone close that you can share your feelings with right now. Cherish those happy memories with your son. :hug: ((((Hugs!))))
