Hi Paula I like your snowglobe..Eds 2 daughters and the 1 granddaughter every year go to Bon Ton (I think that is where) and buy themselves one as a keepsake. Neat ( :

I hope everyone enjoy their Mail delivery this morning.

I am trying to finish wrapping Eds gifts. Santa around here still fills the stockings and puts the gift out when all are in bed Christmas eve.

Cold reboot usually works, Megan.

Oh, yes, cause I am forgetting... thanks to all the Momsters who surprised me with Christmas cards! This is the first year in mnay yrs. that I did not send out cards, just didn't get the time, so I thank all of you who sent one to me. And Mits, that is the most beautiful card you sent, I love it.

MITS said...

Paula, Megan needs a pic, look in your lofty files:):):) I have all these sites with the different gifs, but don't know how to use them, but that can be a NEW YEARS RESOULTION, try to find time to learn more about the puter, yeah, like that is gonna happen.

Just a quick hello from Nogales AZ. I have only taken about 20 photos so far, and a couple of videos LOL, I am sure I will get more. I did a very quick read through back posts, and not sure I saw Sharon sign in. I do know she had Holiday traffic to deal with though. Hopefully she will get in here at tosme point today. Watch closely during those "wax" moments LOL. I did no thave to fly through Denver coming r going actually. I did get delayed both places, but was only a bout 20 min late getting into Tucson. Much later in and out of Dallas Fort Worth but all is well. And Elia so muc sweeter and cuter in person. Great Day and another Christas Wish coming your way.

Boy Norma and Mema Jo I sure would have like to have kept one of those coke a cola bottle with that Santa picture on it. I'm like you I look at that pic and remember that cola bottle.

Anonymous said...

This may be long but interesting. About Santa Claus and Coke a Cola.

Coca_Cola advertising in 1920 printed ads in periodicals as the Saturday Evening Post. Then in 1930 The Santa Claus picture was used again Coca-Cola advertising. The artis was Fred Mizen that pained a department store Santa Claus in a crows drinking a bottle of Coke. Mizen's Santa Claus picture was used in many ads that Christmas season. For the next 35 years a man name Sundblom pained Santa Cluas Pictues that helped to create the modern appearance of Santa Claus.
I'm not sure if they ever put him on a bottle of Coke a Cola

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL EAGLE LOVERS...

I'm definitely grateful that Sharon is back amongst us and feeling somewhat better for the holidays.

Dana, I don't recall seeing Santa on a glass Coke bottle, maybe on a largish plastic bottle, certainly on the carton. Not this year though... Political??

Enjoy the Christmas celebration...

Hi girls,

Just a quick in and out tonight I'm afraid,on my way to bed,,, but couldn't NOT come on to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year, and hope all is well with you.
Blessed News about Sharon isnt it, and so glad she came be home for Christmas.
Nilla Bean:::::
I know your at your daughters and are out Gamboling by now, but take care Girl, and behave loveyah.
Sorry I havn't been on for a while not since Thanksgiving,, but like Delphia, am having a not too good time at the moment with the M.E.
So when my joints allow, I'll try and do as much typing as I can.
I saw all the photo's of the debauchery at the Christmas Lunch, and think they are just FAB, I really wish I could of been there, but I think the air fare would of broken the piggy bank.
Doreen and Lou are both out tonight, at respective dinners, so I will send you all their very best too.
THIS YEAR I will hold my glass up you to you all and make a toast to my American Girl friends and wish each and everyone of you all the very best for the coming festivities.
God bless all, enjoy, peace and happiness to all my dearest eaglets.
Take care,
Lots of Love

Chrissy Beahan said...

Hi Helen pet,
Sorry to hit and run pet ,but there is a lovley crisp clean bed upstairs with my name on it so I'm going to rechage my batteries ready for the onslaught tomorrow, as Christmas preparations and food are a big thing over here, so I've got a lot to do in the morning.
I know this sounds very odd but I have no idea what American Ladies do about all their Christmas preparations you see, I thought that Thanksgiving was your BIG thing of the year you see, please accept my apologies if I've got it all wrong pet, if you would like a typical English Christmas menu, just say and I'll send you one, but it's a long one, goodness knows hoe we all get though all the eating of it but we seem to every year.
WELL my frinds, it's off to bed for this worrying woman, I hope I get it all done in time.
Take care all, Have loads of fun.
God bless
Love
Chrissy

Hi Sandra. I notice that a couple of hours went by without any comments. Mits just said Hello - but I don't know where she went. Went to a church service this evening - then met my Son his daughter and her daughter! It is Samantha's birthday tomorrow. She was our Christmas present 5 years ago! So off to the toy store for her to pick out her gifts! They are my gals from NY.

MITS said...

Well, I'm getting there, only have to wrap hubbies gifts, who by the way looks and sounds terrible, still may get those hospital masks. My sister(NOT THE LURKER, THE ONE WITH NO COMPUTER), called around 6:15p.m., east coast time, and they were in Reno, Nevada, 7 hours behind schedule, hoping to get to San Francisco around midnight pacific coast time, they still sound in good spirits. Iwould be climbing the train walls by now.

Sounds like fun, Jo, was going to go to Mass tonight, but hubby did not want to go, so hopefully early tomorrow, so I can come home and set table.

Mass was very well attended. Tomorrow they are having a 4:00, 6:00 & 9:00. Then on Christmas day just the one morning mass. Fr said he wished every Saturday night were as crowded as tonight. Our family will be going to the 4:00 tomorrow & then back here to meet all the family for lasagna & stuffed shells! I hope everyone doesn't mind sitting on each others laps. lol
