December 13, 2010 It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you “Be of good cheer”
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to callL
It’s the hap-happiest season of all

There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And carolling out in the snow

There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderfultime
It’s the most wonderful time
It’s the most wonderful time
Oh, the most womderful time of the year

Good Morning Amy and ALL!!!
What a gorgeous way to start this week!!! This song, and graphic will be the setting for a good day !

Haven’t been around in a few days. We are going to go to OREGON via AMTRAK for Christmas!! YEAH!!!

We leave here on Sunday morning December 19th and head to Eugene to spend time with my sister and hubby who live in a small town in the Willamette pass.

It isn’t leaving me much computer time at all. Decided to go AMTRAK because of bad weather in Oregon. We don’t drive in snow!! LOL

Have a good day all.........

LOVELY opening, ladies!
The graphic and music are perfect for this morning!
I put up five trees yesterday,
And, they are all lit, with sparkly lights of Christmas!

"It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near"

Amy, your clip of the house lights is SO pretty! SO unlike this one!

(I'll bet his neighbors would like to shut off his electricity!)

WARNING - this is a VERY irritating YouTube clip ~ I recommend turning your speakers down.....

Christmas Lights Gone Wild - over 7 million views!

Have a wonderful and safe trip, Polly!

Just think, it could be like traveling on the “Polar Express”!

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place



Priorities





Mother likes to schedule a day for unbridled Fun and Exploration
These days are looked forward to with wide eyed Kittenish anticipation
To be allowed free rein to satisfy our Curiosity high and low
Taking on a Room full of mysterious Challenges while savoring the glow

Of whistling, hissing embers wafting from the huge, wide Fire Place
Showing off to Mother how we've mastered our advances in attendant Feline Grace
Mother's favorite, Peony rears up on her hind legs before leaping into Space
Then land on a Golden soft cushioned Chair with its Blanket warm and lush

Snowy sister Alexis decides to hone her claws on a thick Carpet wide and plush
Before turning her attention to finding a new Hiding Place beneath Mother's throne
Provided by an intriguing, rustling Paper Leaf with a long handle made of Bone
While up above, stripe faced Algernon examines with splayed Paw Pads
Proving to Mother once again that he's the more inquisitive of we fraternal lads

Peony decides to leap down to protect and cozy up to Mother's right flank
Alexis sneaks back into her new Hiding Place feeling more secure than in a Bank
I take this all in and turn towards the warmth that seeps and curls and wraps
Smoothing down my flawless Basic Tuxedo, Gloves and Spats for a long luxurious Nap!

This is what we awakened to this morning. It
started getting bad yesterday and the kids
told me about noon yesterday, "that if
I had anything to do that I had better
get it done."
Of course, I had an errand or so to run
so I got it done and its a good thing
as it got worse during the day, and then this
today! I have not been feeling well so I
didn't get to play yesterday...LOL! I would have
made more pictures but you can't stand up out there.
Don't know how much I will be on today
and can't figure out why I feel so bad.
The temp on the patio is 22 degrees!

Amy and Billie, the opening is so gorgeous this morning!
And I love that song! See you later!

[jaycee]

Oh how beautiful, yorkie! Isn’t that an inviting setting? Perfect for Christmas. Everyone had such pretty graphics yesterday. It was a winter wonderland on Amy’s.

[JustAmy]

Oh, Meg.

I’m praying that you feel much, much better soon.

Take care of yourself.

Your yard looks so pretty but sooo cccold.

[jaycee]

Love your sweet kitty graphic and poetry, Jack. Thank you.

[yorkie]

Thanks, JC!

I looked back at the graphics and music from yesterday, and I got a ‘warm’, nostalgic feeling - remembering so many Christmas’ past.

Hope you feel better, real soon! (Would a bowl of Yorkster Chicken soup help?)

[jaycee]

Wonderful graphic and music this morning, Gail. Thank you.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Friends.

Had hoped to have time to answer a few posts but as usual, time slips away.

Thank you all for your beautiful graphics and the links to the wonderful Christmas music.

We are on our way to Fresno again today. Another test today and then will wait for a call for another. Then it will be wait for the results. LOL

Hurry up and wait.

Have a Delightful Monday.
