The last TToT of the year! Come join in, link up or just
READ UP and glow in the bask (strike that, reverse it) of the Things Thankful!
1.
Thankful I started this list a couple of days
ago! Busy weekend, and aren’t they all in December??
2.
Ugly Christmas sweaters. Can't help it, I love em.
3.
Thankful our snow started early this year,
hoping that means we won’t get as many snows in April. I have no knowledge of
weather and that’s probably not how it works, so don’t tell me. My cold bones
and lack of Vitamin D NEED THIS hahaha.
4.
Eternally grateful my life partner is less
concerned about holiday traditions, and understands I need to be flexible at
stressful times, or we will all be miserable. (Explained more in the post here if you click the link.)
5.
My sister is watching my girls tonight. SO
THANKFUL for a small break. We will have to do Christmas shopping, but at least
we can stop for drinks now!
6.
This is going to sound weird, as I was thankful
for the opposite a few weeks ago, but I’m thankful my son realized his current job is not working out (loooong
story, but they send him home. A LOT. Without pay and then they still take
Union dues. Not working, not to mention how far it is.) We just need to get him another job, hopefully that
will happen, but it was taking almost TWO HOURS every day to drop him off, get
home and have him call me to come BACK and get him right away. For no pay.
7.
I’m really trying to be thankful for dentists. Bad
experiences, bad teeth, bad dentists, bad insurance make me fear/loathe going
to the dentist, but I know that if I never went to my dreaded once a year (I know)
appointment, my awful teeth would be so much worse.
8.
Thankful my teeth aren’t worse than they are. I couldn’t
handle or afford any more dental appointments right now. (I’m blowing off tons
of work I do need done.)
9.
While I’m at it, so thankful we’re all healthy.
My horrible housekeeping has obviously built up our immune systems to
weapons-grade.
10. The wonderful pictures I find online, like this one which I LOVE.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you. Hope you
all have a magically happy and THANKFUL holiday season!
I pick B. I do love some whiskey, but I like the traditional decor on B. And I drink Maker's Mark anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am not a huge whiskey fan, but in egg nog and things like that, it's do-able!
DeleteMaker's Mark, good taste!
hey! (one of) our three personality types are *so* prone to 'god! I need daylight how far is it to Florida?! Syndrome!!
ReplyDeletehow very cool is that?
the contest over at the Doctrine allows people to submit entries on the behalf of others, and by virtue of being the recently appointed 'Lord of Misrule' I thought I'd go ahead and just submit something for you in the Contest.
no! no it's not a bother….lol
They do make indoor lights that are supposed to fight SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder, and no, I didn't make that up, it's allegedly a thing!)
DeleteThank you ever so much for entering me in the contest....I think ;)
I don't think the sweater is ugly :-) Maybe I should start a holiday tradition of funny sweaters?
ReplyDeleteI didn't think so either, a little....disturbing? Or maybe slightly inappropriate? But I have definitely seen - and WORN - much uglier items of clothing!
DeleteI love the idea of Funny Sweaters! There is a web site, probably many, and blogs for "Ugly Sweaters" so why not funny and make it all year long?? I'm down!
Haha! Great list. I'm always trying to explain to my partner that by not cleaning our house I'm actually HELPING the family by building up all our immune systems. LOL! Love that your spirit animal is an over-caffeinated sloth. That's gold. Two things we have in common!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of strong immune systems! And caffeine.
DeleteI didn't catch the sweater until I read the comment about the humping jumper! I am so oblivious at times... yeah, ugly xmas sweaters... theyre kinda like B movies... tacky but you have to watch...Have a great coupla weeks and enjoy time with hubs shopping and drinks... I would choose the jack tree... used to love whiskey.... haven't had it in years so a whole tree of it may be overkill but Id be willing to try.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing about that particular sweater, it's so subtle you don't really notice what the reindeer are DOING. I think I need that sweater.
DeleteI have a love/hate relationship with whiskey, but mixed with something it's usually tolerable. Straight up, most of it is for cowboys, but in eggnog? Delish.
I just left a comment on your post about Christmas traditions, but I agree that traditions should serve the family. Families shouldn't be slaves to tradition. I value tradition, but there has to be a purpose. I'm glad you seem to have found a good balance for your family!
ReplyDeleteGlad that the teeth are alright! And, yes, we're all in a holiday mood. Thanks for sharing with us this week!
ReplyDeleteB. I'm not a whiskey drinker so I'd pick B. And I adore the Humping Buck sweater! LOL. OH, yes, thank the lord for dentists. But I hate going. I get it. OY.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on being able to survive any virus thrown our way. We have amazing immune systems over here - according to the fact the entire upstairs looks like a friggin' Frat house.
Boy, as usual you really put into words how I feel, "harsh liquified smoke" is a much better description than mine for whiskey, which is usually just "poison."
ReplyDeleteI MUCH prefer amaretto! In anything, milk, coffee, orange juice, by itself!
You may have created a new catch-phrase: Humping jumper. It just rolls right off the tongue!
I would LOVE to go to a tanning bed right now, and just take a NAP at least in there! hahaha probably not a good idea, but if memory serves, they are usually set up on a timer, thankfully! I just need someone to come shake me awake after awhile :)
I love a good whiskey, especially in egg nog!
ReplyDeleteWe hve already had two snowy days here already but I think we have a lot more to come!
Hope you are having a teriffic holiday season too!
