How Long until Christmas?

[Weedygarden]

I saw a post today, elsewhere, that it is 4 months until Christmas, or 122 sleeps. I immediately thought of you @phideaux . I know how important Christmas is to you. I know you are really distracted by your wife and her health challenges now.

I know many would groan at this topic, but this is for phideaux and his wife, for whom Christmas is so important.

Thanks Weedy.

I am counting down the days.

I hope we have 6 " of snow on the ground , and the cedars are hanging low with snow.

I can make snowcream.

Then watch all the grands open presents around the Christmas .

These times become more precious and valuable the older I get.

Can't wait.

Today was the hottest day in a month ... 95 degrees. Uuugghh.

We haven't seen a winter wonderland in 26 years or more.

Christmas is something to look forward to, something to plan and focus on. We need Christmas this year more than any other in a long time.

Are Easter decorations out yet?

 

[SheepDog]

It is the days that separate the special ones that make the holidays special.
Enjoy each day for its individual content and you will enjoy the holidays more.
I waited almost 70 years for today and I am going to treasure what it brought me.
I'll do the same when tomorrow becomes today.

My cousin's tree is up. It never gets taken down. The decorations change for the holiday. I'm sure it is in patriotic theme now, as it is from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Then it will change to fall and Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and then, Christmas!

A tree for all seasons... sounds a little "preChristian" to me. I like the idea and the thought of it. I don't think I could maintain it but I could enjoy it in my neighbors yard.

Always a bright light on the horizon.
We desperately need that.
It will be so wonderful when family and friends can get together again without paranoia.
