Ok this is a nothing topic once again but I always like a Christmas countdown. I've been teaching Eloise all day to say 10 sleeps when I ask how long till Santa comes. She keeps holding up 10 fingers and saying TWO as loud as she can ...oh well there's always tomorrow

Anyway a litle something Christmassy to keep you amused while you count down the days/hrs. It'll be interesting to see if you're all as sadistic as me with the little people's lives

at least you will know she will be right in about 8 days (or is it 7 days now?

)

I hope to finish my Christmas shopping tomorrow in Nashville....

I have already gotten everything for my friends, so that leaves only my family...which of course are the hardest to shop for

Linda, I really have grown to love your Christmas ticker...It shows me how many days are left until I am on vacation

Nearly time for chrissy...........YAY.......

We've got Phil's family Christmas doo today and I have half a day left to shop for one pressie we still haven't got.

It actually worked out well that we left it so late as the store we're getting it from is having a 15% off day today

I tried 9 sleeps today and she said 9 but who knows if she'll remember later
