Santa, I want what I'm not allowed...peanuts, french fries, buttery popcorn, cheddar cheese, and....
@rheashard2, this pic would make an AWESOME entry into the December Photo of the Month contest - just sayin'!!

 
Oh, my darling MartyPants, you just might be right. I have a couple that I'm winnowing for that special contest!
 
Well, the Christmas Month stated on clue here in the Great White North of Michigan and East of here as Canada sent a package of Winter Joy: Very Cold, Windy weather mixed with Lake affect snow. Right on schedule, the Power Failed with the first real blast of cold wind! An of course just after Sunset!

With great luck I had everything needed to connect the generator and restore light and heat to our home. As normal, HRH Julio was less than impressed as in his opinion, I had taken far too long!

The heavy winds, darkness and snow made for a remembrance of the Christmas Season that includes the Words: Baby its Cold Outside! And true to the words, it was very cold outside. Dark, cold and near 850 homes and business lost power that lasted for a bit over 7 hours.

Tonight its 45 degrees F here, not even a breeze and the snow has melded.

If you do not like the weather this time of year! Just listen to RB ring out some of his favorite songs and wait a few days and three Seasons will scream by!

A Very Merry Christmas from the Boats Household!
(Note the above message was approved by his HRH Julio)
 
I love you, Boatsie!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Well, to Julio and his. You know.
 
And... rolling right along...

This one is sung to the seasonal classic... "These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things"... first associated with Christmas by icon Julie Andrews in the early 1960s'

My hubby says it's going cheep :rolleyes:
 
THAT IS FABULOUS. Beautiful, sentimental and... well, probably loud.
I love that. Instant Christmas season screensaver!
 
This is hands down the BEST Christmas advert I ever saw, for British department store chain "John Lewis". Ten years on and I still tear up EVERY time!!

 
I'm about to leave my beloved budgies, all 19 of them (except Baby Joey is coming with us) for 5 long days! Our twice a day bird sitter is terrific and 10 of them will still be free to fly around the room (the main living area of my house. Bird safe) all day unsupervised, but they will miss us. They think we're just big budgies and members of the flock. We will worry and miss them so much but family duty calls. Let's just hope they don't think we've abaondoned them and that they don't make too much of a mess of my house.

To the tune of Winter Wonderland,
For Baby Joey and my whole flock of budgies:

Budgies sing, are you listening?
On the floor. Poop is glistening
A beautiful sight, happy tonight Walking round with budgies in my hair

All around are my cute birds
Here to stay is a new bird
Joey's her name
She's more than just tame
Watching all the budgies in my hair

The windowsill is where they watch the snow fall
It looks like feathers falling in the night
Baby Joey watches from my shoulder
Looking out the window at the Christmas lights

Later on if they wanna
They will all take a shower
Splashing with joy
Waters a toy!
The kitchen sink's a budgie Wonderland

Zooming round, fighter pilots dropping "bombs" all around us
Making a mess, but they're just the best
Walking round with budgies in my hair!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from the woods of Maine
