3 days and 8 hours according to Norad; Santa is gearing up

Kathi try it again. She has reposted the opportunity because so many people missed it first time around and wrote in. It's under Oprah's gift to you (left side of screen about 1/4 of the way down)

I just checked the site and it seems to be available. It's good music! No versions of Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.

We sang those songs all week in Kindergarten...not quite like the mall...but I know what you mean, Lori! Talking about music, I guess I missed the Oprah music deadline because I couldn't get the songs to download...but thanks for mentioning it Pat!
Still snowing here.............

Avi's sister couldn't stop humming "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" when we were at their house the other day. When you go to the mall, you hear that song over and over, and it gets stuck in your head. I do love those Christmas songs, though.

Did you get your free download of Christmas music from Oprah? It's good stuff

Forecast for today: SNOW....SNOW.....SNOW until 3 am tomorrow morning....how much? We will wait and see. Another storm coming on Sunday with even more snow then todays...so stay tuned for the snow bulletin! Let's see if we end up with a early release!

Pretty scary about the broken gondola tower. You're lucky you missed that experience. It's been really cold here, too, and we can see the snow on the mountains in the distance, so I can pretend I'm in Vermont.

It's snowing here but starting to lighten up a bit just now. We have 4-5 inches of fresh on the ground. It's pretty in the trees out back. The delivery guys had to shovel a little to bring in my living room furniture . We ordered it a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving and it arrived today. Now we having more than one chair each to sit down.

We spent an overnight in Portsmouth early this week. Stayed at the Wentworth Inn. It was beautiful. We had a fabulous view of the ocean and the grounds. I spent the morning at their spa. Very very nice. I fell sound asleep during a facial. Yummy.

We visited with Kevin and Colin both nights, on the way down and back. They'll be home for Christmas next week and then we probably won't lay eyes on them for months. Colin has a new job cooking at a pub a couple of blocks from home so he walks. Kev is still doing his massage therapy classes and will finish up in early April.

We're going to the Bangor Auditorium tomorrow to enjoy A Leahy Celtic Christmas. We're looking forward to some holiday entertainment. It should be a good show. Like a Christmasy River Dance.

hi kathi, you are right. in the last three days i found snow all the way from whistler to vancouver to seattle to madison to champagne illinois and then all the way here to burlington and it keeps on coming. i can't tell you how many SUVs i saw doing dog tricks like- roll over and play dead. seeing SUV wheels raised in worship to the skies is a different look. i was fortunate to arrive here without more than a couple hour delay and i had no car issues across about 1000 miles of driving in the snow. my checked bag was not so lucky. i hope it will show up later this morning. i was also fortunate to be safely away from whistler. yesterday, a gondola tower broke on a gondola that i rode on four times- just two days before. i saw pictures with gondola cars hung like over ripe fruit. the good news is that it is not their new peak2peak gondola. on that one it is the highest you can be suspended from a cable in north america (i am pretty sure). so now i have to regroup and head back to the office. dum, dee, dum, dum

SNOW DAY....SNOW DAY.....SNOW DAY.....We are suppose to get 3-6 inches of white snow today...school is cancelled...I have mixed up bread and that is rising..got lots to do....and I suppose I'll have to shovel too...Another storm coming on Friday..bigger then this one...so....when to do shopping????? I have to make my granddaughter a birthday card...so that will be my first priority this morning (her birthday is Saturday and she will be 4)...
Richard you will find lots of snow when you get home!
