Ya they had some good snow in the upper part of the state while I was there, we were in Citrus county and it was just cold.

Pretty much lol This weather is killing me. I think I'm getting too old to deal with all this horrible cold. Was getting gas the other day and by the time I got back in the car my face hurt, my ears were burning and my eyes watering.

You like in the 80's? Last week in FL (we went to see family) it was pretty cold. Was high in the 40's/50's and the lows were well below freezing some nights.

Ya we are supposed to be in the mid 40's tomorrow and then back to cold and snow on Friday. Can imagine the doc's office will be filled with sick people next week

How do you mean? I don't think a ton of us are here every day or so lol.

I thought ours would also. I expected to come back to needles falling off all over. I was wrong, the thing is still very soft and fragrant.

Mine will be this weekend hopefully. We went out of town after Christmas so didn't get it down yet. Real tree still smells SO good though.

OK let me rephrase that. Go away and stay away till next November.

They are getting close to them all just being gone.

We just got back home from surprising family with a visit. This horrible cold weather can now go away. Christmas has passed so I'm over winter till next year.

Outside of being sick we had an awesome Christmas, we are now out of town to surprise family for the New Year.

Sounds like an odd purchase, didn't think Target was looking to be bought out either (not that it really matters).

Saw this article a few minutes ago. I thought we went overboard with 3 to 4 trees in our house. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/community/brighton/2017/12/22/christmas-tree-house-brighton-michigan/963150001/

Ya it seems to be making it's way around. Got some meds today so hopefully that knocks it out.

We picked up the last gift last night. Had to get a gift card for a sporting goods store for our nephew. Baking isn't finished, everyone here has ended up sick, started with wife, then to daughter and then me. Somehow I ended up with the worst of it. So baking will most likely get finished tomorrow if everyone is feeling up to it if not then on Christmas eve. Stupid weather

That looks like a good amount of presents for me, what about everyone else?

Looks like we are down to a gift card for our nephew, and a few things for some people my wife works with and then buying is done. Going to bake a couple things today then my sister and wife are finishing that up Wednesday. I will be wrapping the last few things today then we will just have things mentioned above.

About 50% done on the baking, should be finished by Wednesday. Shopping is at about 95% complete, wrapping is about 80%. We are on track to be done by Wed/Thurs this year. No shipping needed we are going out of state to visit after Christmas so will take them with us.

We have done Grinch Cookies, EggNog Cookies, PB Cookies, Magic Bars. Still have Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pecan Tassies, Mini Cheesecakes, Sugar Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and a couple others I can't remember right now. Will do a couple tomorrow then finish up on Wednesday night.

Should be easy enough to do. If you think the HDD's are on the way out and they are SATA/IDE based just run the software to see if they are kicking up errors it monitors the SMART controls. If you are seeing ANY errors it's only a matter of time before one day they just make a head slapping sound and it's all over.

Wow have to love that. Wish they would email me the same thing. I would grab the movie also lol.

I saw a few of the peppermint kiss ones where the kiss melted down the side. I think they need to be sent to me in order to make sure they are ok for others consumption. I'm always willing to take one for the team to make sure others are ok.

I almost drooled on the keyboard for my new laptop.

It's the craziness of both of them that make them such fun to watch. Need all sorts of Christmas movies to make the season complete.

We watched Christmas Through the Decades last year. Will have to watch it again. We have watched a lot of Christmas movies lately. Have watched Elf at least 3-4 times. Tonight it's time to watch A Christmas Story again.
