me to oldest around 11 am: I need to go to the bank for your grandmother. Do you want to go with me and have lunch out somewhere?
just now sitting down to relax at home for the first time since . . .
i love the special extra time with him, but boy is he a time suck! 😆

Cool, Dee! About the meteors, that is!
About the mix-up in days, well…..I was so relieved that Ms. Birdy didn’t start until today. Because….yesterday was such a long, busy and fun day with my classes, plus going out to dinner with friends that I came home and went immediately to bed. No Webkinz that day and I felt badly for all that I didn’t respond to for the candy cane challenge. But I needed sleep!
Gaga – Classes are finished! Three week break! 😉 I have the cutest kids ever (says the teacher who was complaining about discipline problems a month or so ago).
Moms – How nice to have lunch with your oldest! One of our Christmas traditions when my kids were at home was having lunch out at a restaurant with me individually and then shopping for the sibling whose name they drew in the Sibling Gift Exchange drawing. We were so short on $$$ back then and it was a real treat. Of course, it meant that I got to go out 5 times! 😉 But the child that I was taking would choose their favorite place (within reason). Maybe I’ve shared this before.
I still have a little bit of Christmas shopping to do. There are two people in our family that I have nothing for, and there is nothing on the wish list. (Bag of coal for them?) Hee hee! I will think of something.
And…..why is Deluxe day on Christmas Eve Day! That is such a busy day!

Oh well….afterthought here….I will be getting on anyway to visit Ms. Birdy. It may not be that bad after all.

Qos – we will have to log in anyway – you’re right, but all this busy stuff on holidays is a real challenge!
the lunches with all of the kiddos sound priceless – i so enjoy these kiddos of mine ♥

I know! It would be one thing if I was a kid who had time on my hand while my mom was busy with all the Christmas preparations….
By the way, is there a list anywhere of names that are not allowed by Webkinz? I used to be able to go to WI for that info. Not sure the filter here would allow a list like that! I guess it is best to have alternative names ready. But if anyone knows of where I could go for such a list, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Good Morning All !
moms. Long day for you but sounds like you had a great time with your older ds
I guess you have to pack all of those special times into one day at a time !
Haven’t really decorated yet.. Hope to get to that Friday… Was able to log into my computer at work yesterday but limited access….Really ?? So frustrating but it just goes to show you the state of nursing these days ! Need a computer to “take care of patients ” !
Sheba .. Yah.. so happy you have a break … of sorts.. Know how busy you are with your family and getting ready for Christmas ! Enjoy your time away from school..
Just discovered that the item Miss Birdy is giving away today was the item that was available in the W Shop one morning………..but was quickly taken away and also those that were purchased !
Two days and counting !

Gaga – it’s a real shame that so much of patient “care” is on the computer. I know it takes my son forever to chart patients after seeing them. He is a NP.
Congrats on retirement! Is today your last day, Gaga?
Platynick – I need to check out the holiday cookbook again. I am forgetting what items can be made.
I will need to sign into my desktop for the free e-store hat… Thanks for the reminder, moms!

Oh no! The poor Snow Bear! It just wants to be a real Webkinz pet instead of a snowman stuck out in a field! Let’s all visit the Snow Bear in its field in the Clubhouse from December 15 to 25 to cheer it up!
And who knows? Maybe if we all visit the Snow Bear every single day, the magic of Christmas might make the Snow Bear’s wish to become a real Webkinz pet come true!
The Snow Bear just loves visitors! Every day when you visit it in the Clubhouse up until December 24th, the Snow Bear will give you a random gift to thank you!
And what will happen on Christmas Day? We’ll have to wait and see!

Our holiday trip starts tomorrow!! We’re driving to Indiana to visit family in MI- the state with the highest covid hospitalizations in the country right now. EGADS. Good thing we’re only seeing a few people, and we’re all testing beforehand. It’ll be so nice to see my mom again.
My brain is 100% checked out for this year- presents are bought, plans are made, we can just coast for the rest of 2021.
I’ve been reading so many books this fall. The latest is “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir. Incredible, VERY fun sci-fi. He also wrote “The Martian”, which I think might be better than this one by a smidge. I also read “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison- highly recommended!! It’s a really engaging coming-of-age story. Another is “Shadow of the Wind” by Carlos Ruiz Zafon- this is LONG and deep, and a little dark. Very convoluted like “The Count of Monte Cristo”. A very satisfying read!
And the BEST one I’ve read this season is “The Golem and the Jinni” by Helene Wecker. She’s got such a comforting writing style, and the look into life in turn-of-the-century New York immigrant communities with an emphasis on Yiddish folklore with a healthy dose of supernatural- simply astounding. I recommend this to everyone I know who likes books!
If I don’t see y’all before Christmas, Merry Christmas everyone!! May Santa Kinz grant all your Webkinz’s wishes!

Okay so I just had my ten yr anniversary at work. I so wish I was retiring…. I am so sick of all the office politics, back stabbing, and drama.

Merry Christmas Puma!!!!
I hope you have safe travels!
I have Project Hail Mary coming up to read at some point. I loved The Martian & actually liked the movie for it too.
gwenda – i’m sorry you’re having to deal with that – ugh!

Good Morning All !
MY LAST DAY !!
moms.. thanks for the Deluxe reminder.. I almost forgot !
Puma… Merry Christmas.. Safe travels… Thanks for the book recommendations.
will have lots of down time to read..
Gwenda.. It must be very difficult to work in such an environment ! I am sure it makes going in to work each day a chore ! I have been so lucky through out my career to have such great memories and co workers.
platynick… there are two snowmen standing together in the room.. click on the larger one to get a gift… there is usually a couple of other pets standing in the way ! just be persistent..
Hope you all have a good day… Hope to check back later and let you all know how my last day was .

Good morning!
Yay for the last day, Gaga!
Glenda, congrats on 10 years! Sorry about all the office drama, though. It is one thing to watch it on TV, but another to experience it in RL.
Puma, safe travels to you and have a wonderful time with your mother. Happy reading!
I just read on FB that some Webkinz accounts are being banned for those taking advantage of glitches. I really don’t know more than that and I also wasn’t aware of any glitches.
I am trying to wrap up Christmas shopping. And I need to decorate my tree. It has been up for several days. Lights are on but that’s it. We leave up our tree thru most of January.
I haven’t checked into WW yet today, but I hope to soon.

Just finished my work for the semester. I still have stuff to do for my assistantship, but my schoolwork is done! Me and kitty will be going back to MI sometime next week. I can’t wait to go shopping! There aren’t many places to shop around here.
My parents just adopted 2 barn cats and I can’t wait to meet them. Apparently they are not friendly (which is why they are barn cats), but maybe they’ll be nicer as they get use to their new home (barn).

How can I find out what the three gifts that Santa offered each year are? I tried looking in the picture guide, but not finding it.
