Good Morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

Come join us and share your Christmas/ Holiday traditions with us.

Christmas Traditions at my house.

Advent

At our house we start the Christmas celebrations with Advent.

We have a wreath made out of pine cones with four candles on it.Each Sunday we light one Candle and read the Story of Christs birth and listen to Christmas songs.

During the time of Advent,we also start baking our Christmas Cookies and making Christmas decorations.

Our kids receive an Advent Calender on the First of December to count down the days to Christmas.

St.Nick or Nickolaus

On December sixth we celebrate St.Nick,who brings small gifts ,that he puts into the children's boots,that have been left in front of their doors,if they were good.;)

To keep some of the traditions from Germany in the family, we also exchange gifts on December 24 th and we put some gifts under the tree for December 25 th,to include the traditions of an American Christmas.

We have integrated both traditions into our very own tradition and hope that our kids will carry on this tradition, when they have their own families.

It would be great if you all could share your Traditions with all of us,whether they are Christmas,Hanuka or other Holiday traditions.

I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

Thank you for that up-date, SoldierDad....I am glad that he is "bored"! It's much better than NOT being bored where he is. I am thankful that you got in touch with him since you were beginning to worry. God bless him and God bless his Dad!

[luvie]

Now....those are some BIG cookies. I don't think I have a pan big enough to cook something like that in!

Just......wow!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Well that is great news and I agree that boring is good.:)

How is it going today with your day off. Hope you're getting rested up for the "final push" of Christmas. Ugh.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

So far so good.
I plan on taking a nap this afternoon.I have a few chores left to do ,but it isn't very much.
Four more days of hectic work and then it is over.Whew.

I am off Christmas and the two days after.WooHoo.

A man placed an ad in the classifieds: "Wife wanted."

Good Morning {{HUGS}}

Morning Tom.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Morning Blackie.
I know what you mean.
It's yucky out there.
I would prefer snow over frezing rain.

[Lady Jag]

A woman walks into a pharmacy and orders a pint of arsenic from the pharmacist.  "What ever do you need a pint of arsenic for?" he asked.

The woman said "I want to kill my husband for having relations with another woman".

"I can't give you arsenic just because you want to kill your husband for having relations with another woman" replied the pharmacist.

Just then the woman produces a photograph of her husband having relations with the pharmacist's wife.

"Oh, sorry" he said, "I didn't realise you had a prescription!"

 

 

[Mrs.Nooseman]

ROFLOL.
How did I know the joke would end this way before I read the whole joke.

[Lady Jag]

Can't be anything else but smarts, far as I can see!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.
Must be.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Well I am off to get some of my chores done.Will be back later.
Enjoy your day.
