Just in the Nick of Time

All my Christmas decorations are down.  I finished just in the nick of time - last decoration packed away at 8:00 PM, so no bad luck for me.  And soon the east coast will be ringing in the new year.  So now I'll sit back and wait for 2012.

Happy New Years Eve

Enjoy the day and reflect back on this year and then look forward to the new one coming.

And if you're going out to party tonight, please be careful and watch out for the other drivers.

Falling Needles Family Fest Day

Today is a day to start thinking about getting rid of the Christmas tree if you had a "live" one.  And while you're at it, think about putting away all the other Christmas decorations as well.  If you're like some of us from the South, we believe it's bad luck to have any Christmas decorations up on New Year's Day.  So guess what I'll be doing today and tomorrow.  That's right - putting our decorations away and getting ready for a brand new year. 

Tick Tock Day

Today is tick tock day.  That means time is running out before the end of 2011.  Have you gotten everything accomplished that you had planned to get done before the end of the year?  Me neither.  But the good news is that a brand new year is almost here and we get a fresh start.

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!!

Winter Solstice

The December solstice will occur at 05:30 (or 5:30am) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on December 22, 2011. It is also known as the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere due to the seasonal differences.  For those of us in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight.
