The Christmas countdown

[farouk]

Peace and goodwill to all men and women - even those pushing shopping trollies.

Those trolleys can be a pain sometimes, can't they?

Well today is 23 days until Christmas to go and today I'm showing a cute little movie called Annabelle's Wish. It's one of my favorites and here's the trailer for it.

I'm working on tempering chocolate and getting centers ready for covering in chocolate.

 

[JohnDB]

Now on to raspberry

 

[JohnDB]

Raspberry is done...
Caramel sticks done and some candied orange peels got done too.

I'm tired and sitting down. Gonna eat frozen pizza.

 

[April_Rose]

You know @JohnDB they should do a sequel to this and instead of Debbie Downer it should be Random Randy starring you.

 

[Josho]

We have put the Christmas tree up the other day.

Under 22 days to go.

 

[April_Rose]

Btw @Josho do you have a real Christmas tree or an artificial one?

Artificial

 

[April_Rose]

Artificial

Me too but true,.. you probably don't have real ones in Australia come to think of it lol

 

[JohnDB]

Has anyone ever put a snowball in the freezer to save it for the summer ?

Has anyone ever put a snowball in the freezer to save it for the summer ?

Yes,.. but looks like Random Randy strikes again lol

 

[April_Rose]

22 days left to go and today I'm showing Santa Claus Is Coming to Town as part of my twenty-five days until Christmas countdown and The Polar Express in my Christmas couch potato thread so I have music for both of them.

 

[JohnDB]

Coconut and dried cherries... blackberry is proving to be difficult.

But I've started coffee/kahlua and will be on to the other liquors soon.

 

[JohnDB]

Oh...
For Christmas music I like this one:

Santa is coming down YOUR chimney tonight....heh heh heh.

 

[April_Rose]

I saw the sequel last night,.. I must say the first one was a bit better but not by much in my book. This song sure beats Christmas Spirit though.

 

[April_Rose]

21 days until Christmas ( and 20 until Christmas Eve ) And Elf will be showing on both of my Christmas Countdown and Couch Potato Campout thread. )

 

[April_Rose]

Looks like you'll have to buy it or rent it on YouTube instead. I apologize for the inconvenience. :/

 

[April_Rose]

20 days left to go now and just in case anybody's interested I'm showing Home Alone on my Christmas Countdown and A Christmas Carol in my Christmas Couch Potato Campout later on tonight.

 

[JohnDB]

So today I've done mint, half the almond joy, and plain caramels.

I've got chocolate waiting for the orange peels and the other half of the almond joy...

Wifey is wrapping the mint now in green foil.

We'll start on boxing them up tonight.

But tonight I'll work on polar bear claws and turtles. Maybe a few others as I have energy.

I need some lunch...but I got chocolate working and it doesn't wait for anyone.

Cookies start tomorrow
