We all know how time flies. I was just laying out schedules for the next few weeks when I realized… 5 weeks from today is CHRISTMAS!!! 😮 🎅🏻
It won’t be long till I have to drag all the Christmas deco out…
Thanksgiving is a week away, then it’s warp speed & BAM 💥 Christmas…
I’ve got to get my International 🛷 ready…
Then there’s my Santa 🎅🏻 stuff…
I’ll break out my “Redneck Santa” uniform. As usual it starts with the right hat…
With all the family and friends that are coming, all the efforts will be more than worth it 🎅🏻
Even the dogs love Christmas 😊
I’m not gonna say it, YET… But it’s coming quick! All we can do is be ready!
Happy Hump Day!

Can you believe Christmas is in only 5 Days! WOW! That means only 4 “Shopping Days” left, 3 if the store your going to is closed on Sunday 😳
But seriously, have you gotten out and enjoyed the Christmas season? Looked at lights, gone shopping with your family or friends, attended a Christmas program or party??? There is still time, slow down and look around! It’s Christmas 🎅🏻
Fun Idea for the weekend – Do some shopping, eat dinner out then check out David Markowski’s Christmas Light display! Perfect little ride out of town – listen to Christmas music, drink some coco, then catch the show! Complete with his own radio station to tune into while on the driving trail – Boom! Here’s a link for the low-down-https://m.facebook.com/christmaslightman/
Christmas is in 5 days! Get out and enjoy some “Christmas Spirit”! Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏻
Enjoy our Carter Country Christmas video!
Get out and have some fun! Merry Christmas!!

We the spent the evening and part of last night decorating the Christmas tree & putting up all our indoor decorations. Lots of great memories and stories always come out during these yearly traditions 🎅🏻 We listened to Christmas tunes new and old… BOOM! – I’m officially in the “Christmas spirit”!
I think the tree turned out great! All the thanks goes to Jo & Jacob.
It was a group effort and I’m proud of how the tree looks this year. Jacob is 16 now and still LOVES the Christmas 🎄 & spending time with his Mom & Dad. That’s the best present I could ask for 😍
And for another tradition we started many years ago now, I broke out my holiday hat…
December 1st. I break out my “Redneck Santa” hat! 🎅🏻 I like to have a little fun in the spirit of the season & since I’ve let my beard grow out, they tell me I even look like St. Nick 😊 Ho Ho Ho!
“May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is Peace; The heart of Christmas which is love.”
~ Ada V. Hendricks
Heres to a great Christmas Season! 🙏🏻❤️🎄
Peace ✌️ Love ❤️ & Hope!

WOW! Is all I can say… These hard date markers are harsh reminders that I have let Christmas “sneak up on me” yet again!
Does reading this freak you out?! WOW!! Time is Flying by!
So much to do!
- I need to make a list…
- Start that fitness program (maybe wait till new years? 🤔)
- Plan the Christmas party
- Do all the Christmas shopping 🛍
- Get wrapping paper
- Finish all the Christmas decorations!
- Christmas cards!
- Finish up year end tasks
These are just off the top of my head 😊
Christmas is Coming! Whether we are ready or not… I gotta get busy!
The whole world is screaming- Christmas! Sale! Shop! Buy! Hurry Up! Santa Claus 🎅! More! More! More!!! Wow!
I’m trying to find my way back to the basics… What Christmas is all about!
With all the noise and the hustle and bustle of the season, the real reason we are taking time off and celebrating can get lost if we’re not careful.
I always feel a little magic when I watch this clip about what the meaning of Christmas is –
I for one am going to try to slow it down & enjoy the Christmas season. Maybe we can all find a little “Christmas Magic”! “It” – is what we all need 😊

This is always a busy weekend! Cooking & then cleaning up from the ‘Big Dinner’, is a given… But my personal list of to-dos seems to grow every year 🤔
- Take down and store Fall/Thanksgiving decorations with my wife. Then –
- Fire up the smoker & put some meat on for later…
- Get in the attic and carry the tree, decorations & other Christmas decor down & put together/set up.
Just a few Christmas trees from years past.
- Plant 150 Daffodil bulbs.
The traditional time to plant Spring flowering bulbs is between Thanksgiving & Christmas.
- Outdoor Christmas lighting (Not a lot)…
- Trash duty.
Then dinner and a night out…
Wow! Looking at my list, this looks a bit ambitious 🤨 😂
Have a great Holiday Weekend! And pace yourself 😊
