coffee, babble, and tomorrow my daughter comes home for Xmas... what more can one ask for?

1:50 am

sprite

well... company from babble friends would be nice :)

1:51 am

mcurlschool

I'm with you sprite! well, except I don't drink coffee! but my daughter, granddaughter and their foreign exchange student are coming home (here) for Christmas and that's all I ask for :-)

1:52 am

sprite

oh that sounds wonderful, mcurl! Can I make you happy with a nice cup of tea then?

1:52 am

mcurlschool

Tea works!

1:53 am

sprite

tea it is, then *puts a lovely cuppa in the centre of babble*

1:54 am

sprite

how are you gonna celebrate Xmas with your family?

1:56 am

mcurlschool

we will all gather at another daughters house; have breakfast, open gifts, sit around and visit; have a wonderful dinner and complain we ate to much. Then most of the adults are going to see the new star wars movie Rogue One and I'm going to do the gram thing and baby sit.

1:56 am

sprite

beautiful plans. Sounds so cozy and good.

2:00 am

mcurlschool

We have a great time. Many years ago we would all go to my parents home but it's too far to drive for many of the "grandkids" and house is to small for everyone. When we are all there kids, grandkids, greats and such we can hit 40 people! So, despite my mother's dismay, my husband and I go to OUR children's home instead as it is so much easier for the two of us to travel over them with small children. BUT I do go to my parents home (my hometown) and go to the Christmas eve sevice at church where my mother plays the organ and I play the piano together--has become our tradition the last many years.

2:01 am

sprite

I love your traditions. It is great to re4 about such warm family gatherings!

2:01 am

mcurlschool

Thank you. What kinds of plans do you have?

2:04 am

sprite

tonight I work a night shift at the telephone lifeline service as a volunteer. Then preparing my daughter's roomj for her, with candles and lights and a teeny tiny Xmas cactus. We will watch Little Lord Fauntleroy and some nice series while chatting and (me) crocheting. Dinner will be Irish stew. No great traditions here, alas, except the movie.

2:05 am

Kamanjah

Hi Mcurl, nice to meet you! I love that you play piano while your mother plays organ, that is so wonderful!

2:05 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Hi, how have you been? And what are your plans for the next few days?

2:06 am

Kamanjah

*hugs* Sprite!

2:06 am

Kamanjah

I'm doing well, all I have to do is wrap all the stuff hubby bought for his grandkids...

2:07 am

sprite

oh, that is fun, wrapping gifts. Always gives me a real santaclaus feeling.

2:08 am

Kamanjah

And his 'new' computer - he's still using an XP system with no memory to speak of...insisted all he wants is a refurbished computer, so that's what he got! I have to get the car cover off as soon as it stops raining and get the box out and sneak it into the garage to wrap.

2:08 am

sprite

not an easy thing to hide, grin

2:08 am

Kamanjah

I got surprises for my daughter and son-in-law in the mail in time for them to get it today, too!

2:08 am

sprite

wow you did well!

2:08 am

mcurlschool

Nice to meet you as well Kam! I'm finally relaxing after procrastinating badly spending the last few days sewing my heart out on couple of gifts and then baking goodies for snacks Christmas day.

2:09 am

Kamanjah

The delivery people "goofed" and left it with my wonderful neighbor - they must have known!

2:10 am

mcurlschool

Mixed up deliveries are common this time of year.

2:10 am

sprite

we don't celebrate Xmas with presents here. But I got my kids and my 'daughter-in-law' little guardian angels.

2:10 am

Kamanjah

I haven't baked in years. Kind of miss it, but do not miss the mess.

2:10 am

sprite

might do some baking with my daughter, now there's a thought. Better get the groceries for it, just in case she feels like it.

2:11 am

mcurlschool

I don't do near as much as I used to when my children we younger but the all love the "standard" goodies so I do a little.

2:11 am

mcurlschool

Go Sprite!

2:11 am

sprite

:) we make our own new tradtions, right?

2:12 am

Kamanjah

I think the delivery to the neighbor was on purpose since the box said Microsoft! She has a safe delivery spot - we're all on acres, and she has a safe spot, I don't - and there's a (harmless) dog in the yard - but delivery people don't trust dogs at all, don't blame them!

2:12 am

sprite

phantom: theatre

2:13 am

sprite

good service from the delivery guy

2:13 am

Kamanjah

My lovely daughter took over baking chores when she was about 9! She's a pro now! She usually makes baklava, omg, delicious!

2:13 am

sprite

oh wow, that must be amazing, home-made baklava

2:14 am

Kamanjah

It is!! I watched her do it one night a few years back, just no big deal to her - her kitchen skills with pastries of all sorts amaze me.

2:15 am

sprite

I watched a couple of episodes of the Junior Masterchef program. Those kids cook stuff I wouldn't be able to pull off in a million years.

2:17 am

Kamanjah

I haven't seen that. But I watch what the young ones pull off in the kitchen and am amazed sometimes!

2:18 am

sprite

so true. It is inspiring, to me anyway. All the things you can do when you don't st5 thinking about whether you can or not.

2:18 am

Kamanjah

I never could bake well, so my daughter took over and mastered everything she tried! Sorry to brag, she has kitchen skills that I envy!

2:18 am

sprite

hey, mothers are allowed to brag. Lovely to see how proud you are of her.

2:19 am

sprite

mcurl, you still with us? You are so quiet all of a sudden!

2:20 am

mcurlschool

yep still here but preparing to scoot out as it's pretty late for me; must get some sleep.

2:21 am

sprite

in that case, I wish you a peaceful night with happy dreams! And a wonderful Xmas to you and yours.

2:21 am

Kamanjah

It is getting a bit late here on the west coast! Did you get snow, mcurl?

2:22 am

mcurlschool

Thank you; same to you. Yes Kam we did get a bit of snow this morning but it did not stick around long. I'm actually hoping for a "green/wet" christmas this year---don't want any weather to prevent the travelers coming Christmas eve (night) from Vermont!

2:23 am

Kamanjah

I know, I prefer wet to white too! I'm in the low Sierra foothills, so we seldom see snow, but it has been almost cold enough lately!

2:23 am

Kamanjah

Be safe on the roads!

2:24 am

mcurlschool

I'm in the lower puget sound region (near the coast) and will drive up the the seattle area on Sunday. Thank you. Enjoy your holiday. Off to sleep for me; good night.

2:24 am

sprite

night night, mcurl. Very nice to have chatted with you

2:25 am

Kamanjah

g'nite! Sleep well, enjoy your holiday and family!

2:25 am

mcurlschool

thank Sprite. perhaps we'll connect another time. Wishing you the best holiday as well Kam ***poof**

2:25 am

sprite

*happy dance* I finally used the X

2:26 am

Kamanjah

:)

2:28 am

Kamanjah

I used it earlier, but totally got sidetracked from the grid chatting with you ladies!
I need to go spend some time with hubby, take care, Sprite and have a lovely holiday with your daughter!!

2:28 am

sprite

have a lovely Xmas, Kam, and *hugsss*

2:29 am

Kamanjah

MollyL

Which version of A Christmas Carol?

4:57 am

1951...Alastair Sim of course :)

4:58 am

MollyL

Alastair Sim was a great Scrooge. I like Albert Finney in the musical too.

4:58 am

sukee

I haven't seen that. I don't know about a musical :)

4:58 am

MollyL

I can almost guarantee you will like it. It's a very well done film.

4:59 am

sukee

Maybe I will check it out :)

4:59 am

MollyL

Anything scored by Leslie Bricusse is a home run with me.

5:04 am

we got about 10 inches of snow last night

8:43 am

I hope it stays welk at least for a little while:)

8:44 am

the roads were pretty bad last night, we passed 17 vehicles that slid off the road into ditches

8:44 am

welki

(the kids will be happy that it snowed)

8:44 am

MLFAN17

yikes..must have been pretty cold

8:45 am

MLFAN17

I am an adult and I am always happen when it snows for xmas as long as it stays on the ground for a while or I see it coming down:)

8:46 am

welki

heavens no - a dusting of snow puts people into a panic out here. the roads aren't well taken care of and people think that all-season tires are really all-season tires

8:46 am

dan2bit

aha! right and four wheel drive means I can drive on anything

8:46 am

MLFAN17

people panic here in nc and in the Washington metro area gets snow too

8:47 am

dan2bit

at regular speeds

8:47 am

welki

there's an innate lack of common sense when it comes to winter driving in alberta - i mean, if you see all the big semi-trucks slowing down, staying in the right lane, that ought to be a clue that the roads aren't the best

8:47 am

MLFAN17

welk ya think?:)

zoozzoom

For goodness sake...how much much mucus can a nose produce in a day! I have used a box of tissuees already and it is only 2:47pm

For you readers, I am quite active in the Facebook thread: "Coffee and a Good Book," and would be happy to see you there from time to time. Let the love that blossoms in this season envelop you and those you cherish in your hearts. Take care all, and Happy Babbling!

Good Morning all - I wish everybody and Happy and Peaceful Christmas and everything you wish for yourselves.

11:41 pm

hi ursh, thanks!

11:42 pm

harpjane

Ursh, I'm going to Capetown and then Hluihuwe (spelled wrong) in March

11:42 pm

harpjane

It will be my first time in SA. I'm pretty excited!

11:48 pm

ursh

Thats great harpjane - I am sure you will love it.

11:49 pm

harpjane

I think so, we're bicycling in the Garden Route area and also going to see Victoria Falls while we're there.

11:49 pm

ursh

Have had some good rain so the game reserves should be quite green in March - just watch out for the hyena that likes to visit the barbecue and verandah of each cottage in the evening - he has been doing it for years

11:50 pm

harpjane

I hope March is a good time to do those things!

11:50 pm

ursh

The worst of the heat has usually passed by March

11:51 pm

harpjane

I got a kick out of reading about a certain walk in Capetown that is closed because some sort of medium-sized cat is preying on an endangered penguin. It all sounds so, um, foreign to me!

11:53 pm

ursh

Oh my - I live in Durban and have not heard that story - but the penguins on Boulder Beach share the beach and surrounds quite happily with people - they swim and sunbathe right up close to people.

11:57 pm

ursh

Oh I see it is a young male caracal (very beautiful) they are trying to trap him and relocate away from penguins
