I Like Thursday #46

Welcome to my I Like Thursday posts #46.  Thank you sweet LeeAnna of Not Afraid of Color for encouraging me to find something to like during the week.  Sometimes it is easy, and lately I actually look for things I find amusing, or love.

During the holiday season there is so much going on, and many times we forget the reason we celebrate Christmas.  I love The Advent Project which is a selection writings, music and art created by the Center for Christianity, Culture and Arts of Biola University.




You can read more about it here. 

I like seeing people's decorations.  How often do we see something and say, "I have that!"  I don't think often.  I love snowmen and this guy was just too darn cute.  Love his bucket hat!  No I didn't buy him he was someone else's decoration.

Remember when Hostess quit making Twinkies?  My dad who is a sugar fiend about had a conniption fit.  In fact I think my dad bought several boxes at the time and has them squirreled away in his closet.  Now according to Bruce Willis' character in Die Hard they will last forever.

 I saw these Monday at the store. Ok, seriously I love Twinkies, I love peppermint...I am thinking the only way they could have made this better would to have developed a chocolate Twinkie with the peppermint cream.  No I didn't buy them, I was good. 



I like the Santa Stuff my stocking, Countdown to Christmas, 12 days of Christmas, and my favorite Bag Your Booty, sales happen during the holidays from quilt shops.  What better way to pick out some gifts for yourself for your family to give to you?  They don't have to worry about the size, wrong color.  Some of them you must sign up before the event starts, others you just get included in the event if you are on their e-mail list.

I am not an affiliate, nor am I receiving any compensation these were just a few in my inbox, check out your LQS.  Maybe they have a similar sale event happening.  I just think they are fun, and it is a great way to see new products.

I don't watch much TV, but I giggle seeing how excited people get about the Hallmark Christmas Movies that come out each year.  I see posts where people claim that is the only channel that is watched during the month of December.  What really made me smile though was someone mentioned that they watch them with their spouse and many evenings they play Christmas Movie Bingo!  Yep there are a ton of printables from different people all over the internet to play bingo as you watch the Christmas Movie of the day.  So if you are a Hallmark Christmas Movie devotee/aficionado, this may be a fun game for you....some of the spaces are Ugly Christmas Sweater, Flirty Snowball Fight While Wearing Hat and Mittens, Cute Friendly Dog, Dead Spouse/Parent, Ice Skating....you get the picture.  Use Hershey's kisses or or M & M's for markers.    Just Google Christmas Movie Bingo to see all the fun and print out your game cards. 



I like when I am out shopping and I see something that reminds me of a friend.  Like this guy I saw at the pet store the other day.

Hey Milo, he is supposed to be indestructible. 


Finally I saw this video and thought WOW!  I loved the energy and the singer isn't too hard on the eyes either.
