Double Digits Instead of Triple!

Thanks to Suzy for pointing this one out!  We went from triple digits on the countdown counter to DOUBLE DIGITS!!!  Now THAT is exciting!!!  And I got a confirmation from one more lady... Welcome Debbie Harris, who will be staying with Gaylynn Crosby!

I just cannot wait to meet all of our newcomers!

I'd like to hear from everyone... Who LOVES the idea of a Christmas Theme... in October?  I'm thinking full blown... Christmas Trees, Lights, Dinner, PJ's, PRESENTS!  Let me know what you think.  And for everyone who leaves a comment right here... you will get ONE ADDITIONAL DRAWING TICKET!!!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

And don't forget... if you have any problems with this blog... let me know!!! It's probably just some silly setting I have gotten right.  Blogger has made some changes and I'm trying really hard to keep up, but, well, I don't always!

    hmmmm....well, sorry to be the naysayer, BUT...your first message talked about C.A.L.M. And somehow, Christmas usually feels a little FRANTIC. But, if that's the way you're going, I'll put on my elf hat and be jolly!

    I can't wait. I love Christmas. I had so much fun at the last retreat, which was my first. I'm bringing my daughter in law to this one, so I'm hoping for double the fun.

    for Alisa...

    Well I love the idea, but unfortunately I get blocked when I try to make a comment on this at work.
    And my computer is so slow at home that I don’t even go online anymore.

    But just thought I would let you know I can read your blogs it just won’t let me comment on it.

    Good job

    Christmas is my favorite holiday; I love everything about it. So I don't care what time of year it is—I'm always up for a Christmas theme! Heck, let's do it in the Spring retreat too! :D

    Okay, maybe not.

    I think we may have to use jingle bells instead of the cowbell though. The cowbell is not real Christmasy... but still... it IS the cowbell... Your thoughts?

    Jingle Bells!!! I love it!!! The Cowbell can rest this time... maybe. Maybe we need to vote! That'll be ANOTHER post, no won't it! Because I'll have to EXPLAIN the COWBELL to those who haven't EXPERIENCED the COWBELL!!!

    Kim, you crack me up!

    The idea of Christmas in October is fantastic! It's perfect time to start thinking of the holidays. AND there is several shared features of Christmas and your retreats: fun, festivities, socializing, surprises AND....both have great food! Looking forward to it!

    Oh, I agree rest the cowbell...the reindeer jingle bells would be much more in character! Will Santa or any of his elves be visiting?
