Same here chief, mental in work lately, there was a dull dark dreary day last week which just left me a longing for Christmas and the tree and the bright lights.
I'm looking forward to the NFL season starting up as that's always a marker Christmas and dark nights are coming.
I'm getting to spend less and less time on here these days which is making me guilty about not being around more often, I miss just hanging out here.
I've been sticking to my no online weekends for awhile now and its nice to get a break away small screens for a couple of days, I do miss hearing what happening in here and look forward to Monday morning when I check back in. You're like my weekday family
Looking forward to the NFL as well, feel the Eagles are going to have a good season..........Go Birds!!!0 -

Cheers, I have bookmarked it. I am always weary of posting pics due to the anonymous nature of the board. I wouldn't be hard to narrow down quite a few people.
I need to do a to scale drawing of the ground floor of the new house and get opinions on where the tree goes. We have a fat tree.
Completely agree with you.

Completely agree with you.
Yea, over the course of time, you probably say enough things, that is isolation don't mean much however when all put together probably end up revealing more then you intended. I'm very guilty of it and sometimes have to delete things I have typed as realise is to specific or detailed.0 -
I must not have the mind for detective work so, I reckon theres not a chance I know who anyone on here is, though I tend to not go hunting to piece stuff together where for others its almost second nature.
I struggle as to who's male or female on here nevermind actually identify who they are in real life "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Me too, I probably over think it!
Anyway I'm Mister Grey, nothing too distinguishing about me, I blend into the background. Would make a good spy! 0 -

..... One of my dreams was one day having a bundle of joy to see their expression on Christmas morning and running down the stairs with excitement. I cannot wait for the next few Christmases. .....
Of all the great things about having kids, this is right up there in the top 3. Elf1 is going to be 6 this Christmas so have had 5 already and don't think it will ever get old 0 -

Its the one thing I dread about ours growing up, we're running out of christmas's were they 'believe'
On a few of our lockdown walks the they've wanted to talk about christmas & have raised the subject of santa enough for us to know (or be fairly confident anyway) that they know, the really charming thing is I suspect they're trying to let us down gently that they know the truth and don't want to hurt our feelings, so I give them the speech about christmas meaning lots of things to lots of people & it's what they want it to be & what they believe it to mean that's important.
So unfortunately its looking like our days of the 'santa' experiences are over, and theres a part of me that feels terribly sad that this is the case, but theres also a part of me thats excited to see them both grow up & develop into the people they are... we'll always celebrate christmas, it'll just be a little different from now on, but thats maybe not a bad thing, we'll keep our traditions but find new ways to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year as a family."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Looking forward to entering the 170's because we'll nearly have a quarter of the 200's done!
Breaking it up into small chunks always seems to make it go quicker/easier. Like eating your veg/meat when you were a kid 0 -
I can't believe how much time is flying!
It really is bizarre. Given the upheaval to all our lives around covid19 I really would have expected the time to have dragged.
I suspect for me its been due to workload not letting up, in fact I've never been busier, but even the days I was struggling mood wise seemed to move along at a lick.
Normally our year would be split down the middle by our summer holidays which we'd have been on in 2 weeks (sadly not going now:() so when we're past that & into the second half of the year & on the downward leg of the journey it'll whizz by.
I'm really hoping the second half of the year is much more positive & upbeat as 2020 has been a proper pig of a year so far."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Normally the school year does that for us, hence not having structure I'd have expected it to drag, but that hasnt been the case at all... not complaining mind."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

time really has flown, cant believe we're half way there....Christmas 19 still feels like 2 months ago to me! I think Christmas is going to be really special for people. Itll be a proper celebration at the end of a crappy year, to spend with the ones we love!! cant wait! mushy post 0

I'm the same!Normally our year would be split down the middle by our summer holidays which we'd have been on in 2 weeks (sadly not going now:() so when we're past that & into the second half of the year & on the downward leg of the journey it'll whizz by.
My year is usually split into 'looking forward to going away', followed by 'looking forward to Christmas.' :pac:
I usually get over January/new year, celebrate Easter, then it's shopping for and planning my holiday, counting down to my holiday, and once that's over, there is generally only a week or two to the August Bank Holiday weekend, and once August hits THAT IS IT.
Once I made peace with not going away this year, I felt a lot better. I was probably in denial for longer than I should have been.
