Merry Christmas Eve to all!!!! May you have a blessed Christmas and a happy holiday with family and friends!
Unfortunately, our Oklahoma weatherman's predictions were correct, and we woke up to LOTS of sleet this morning which is supposed to continue all day long, topped by snow later on. A White Christmas is a lovely sight to behold, but a disaster when loved ones are on the road. May everyone be safe and enjoy all the good times of the holidays!
I will add my Merry Christmas wishes as well. I did that on another thread, but I will put it here, also. Please be careful if you have to travel. White Christmas' are nice, but not with ice and 40 mph winds. Stay safe and stay warm, please.

Yes, Saint Nick is sure to have cold whiskers by the time he gets all the gifts delivered for Christmas.
We wish everyone happiness, and safe travels, if you must. I am thankful that our Sherri and Curt decided to go to Tania and Brett's yesterday. She said it was a near blizzard, and snow everywhere at Colby, and still coming down. They were safe and sound and that made this Mama and Daddy happy.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone. Just got home from the family Christmas and the roads aren't bad, but trying to see is a BITCH!!! Be safe.
I don't think I will have a moment of silence tonight while I gaze at a clear sky and watch the tiny sleigh cross the moon. I will be listening to the wind rattle my metal roof and the north windows and hoping that the electricity stays on.
In spite of the storm, I am sure there will be plenty of presents under your trees. May your day be merry and bright. It is certainly going to be white.
Merry Christmas from our home, also. We attended a nice Christmas Eve service at our Church, then went to the home of some friends for a meal, and now we're home, and ready to "settle in" for the night.
Tomorrow we'll be driving out to Valley Center (CA) (7 miles from our home) for our annual Christmas with our daughter and family. So, we're very blessed, and for that, we are very thankful.
Enjoy a wonderful Christmas day.
Bonnie Mustoe and family
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given, when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.
Let the spirit of love gently fill our hearts and homes. In this loveliest of seasons may you find many reasons for happiness.
Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.
I also want to thank all of the brave men and women who serve in our military. I appreciate what you have done, and are doing to protect me and my family. I want to wish a merry Christmas to our men and women in uniform at home and overseas.
A Blessed Christmas to you and yours, Forum!
We're wishing all of our forum friends a safe and happy Christmas filled with love, laughter and surprises.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THE BEST OF EVERYTHING IN 2010 TO ALL OF YOU.
WALDO, GIVE YOUR MOTHER A BIG CHRISTMAS HUG FROM ME AND TELL YOUR UNCLE JOHNNY MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM US.
We spent all day yesterday in the Tulsa Airport trying to get to our daughter's in Los Angeles. Our original flight was thru Phoenix and was cancelled, then we tried everything else and finally got booked on a flight thru Denver, it was to be the last flight out before they closed the airport, just as we getting ready to board they cancelled the flight and closed the airport.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you have a safe and warm day.
It's Christmas in America,
and everywhere you go,
From town to town and home to home,
His blessings overflow.
May love and laughter fill your days
All through the coming year.
May the message of the holiday
Fill your hearts with cheer.
Brava, Diane...May your holidays be blessed! :angel:
Waldo, a Merry Christmas to you, your mother and uncle. I knew Rosie well while I lived in Howard. She is a lovely woman. Susan
Frawin and Twirldoggy, I delivered your kind words to both my mother and my Uncle Johnnie.
We had a heck of time leaving Howard, as were parked in the alley at mid block. I had to clear snow from underneath the entire vehicle as we were pushing or backing it up until it just stopped us in both directions. After a dig out in two places in the alley, we were finally able to get to the street.
Our problem does not sound as bad as Jim Lane's situation, though.
QuoteOur problem does not sound as bad as Jim Lane's situation, though.
He got stuck so many times, I lost count! ;)
He even got stuck on roads people said, "no problem."
And that was even with his truck, not his cute small car!
One trip, he even took a friend "just in case." Still got stuck and needed help out. :D
Good news is there hasn't been any damage to Jim, his truck, or any of the vehicles that helped pull him out.
It was all soft snow (with ice underneath).
The other good news is that everyone has been super nice and understanding about the late papers.
I would rather miss a paper than have life or limb risked. I know that a commitment is a commitment, but I would still rather get the paper late by hours or days if need be than to have a life risked to deliver it to me. So if my Moline delivery is ever a problem, don't worry about it; just get it here when you can. So long as you throw it where I can find it, there's no problem. I quit taking the Independence paper because half the time I couldn't find my paper. It was either in the bushes, down the side of the house, or on the roof, never on the front porch, and we have a big front porch! BTW, Jim is always very careful to place my paper right outside the front door, and I do appreciate that! Drive careful!
Right! One nice human is worth at least 5 million late papers! ;) Glad he is alright . We have another storm setting up for Thurs. or Friday. It will be a tug of war between rain and snow this time. We did have a white Christmas, but Sat. and Sun. rains washed it all away by this morning.
We still have plenty of white Christmas left! I ventured out in the van today for the first time, there is/was a huge drift across the alley where my carport is as well as the big piles across either end from the plows going along the streets. But there had been a few trucks down through there by today as well as the trash truck, so I ventured out. Went to Sedan and got a few groceries; you would have thought that there was a huge storm coming, the first parking lot was full and the second was nearly full. Luckily, they still had bread and milk! I bought some ground chuck, and porkchops, salad makings, and of course some junk food. I also stopped at Duckwalls where all their Christmas stuff is half price; more junk food! New Years resolutions don't start for a few days right? Maybe I can get all this eaten before then! Ha!
I agree with Edie. I can live without my paper. I especially appreciate the little extras that Jim does to be sure that the paper is where we can find it. I also appreciate Debbie posting that the papers will be late and why.
Fred and I think Jim is the best thing since sliced bread!!! I hope he thinks of being safe first and getting the paper delivered second. We don't need an injury to our "favorite paper man".
We have a great Independence Reporter delivery man also.
Happy New Year Everyone....
Jo and Fred
QuoteFred and I think Jim is the best thing since sliced bread!!!
I so totally agree with you.
(and you should see me cut bread - or pie or brownies or . . . The joke is that when I'm through cutting and/or slicing, you can have your choice of sizes: small, medium or large. I really don't cut straight at all!) :D :D :D
Seriously, though, Jim does take it safe. That's why the papers are sometimes late.
Besides, he has the BEST customers!
PS - You're right - David Ansell (Independence Reporter) is also a good carrier.
David is a wonderful carrier. We gave him treats whenever we could!!
