Merry Christmas: A Holiday Show

The lights on the Christmas tree have been turned off and all of the children are asleep. The presents are neatly placed under the tree and it's about time to go to bed. I wanted to say a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of the ActiveRain family. Earlier this evening, while wrapping presents, I was entertained by some of my new AR family members. Their comments and online laughter brought a huge smile to my face.

That was really cool.  The background music is obviously a holiday classic but I remember it as the Asti Spumante commercial song in the 70s.

 

Thanks, Jeff!

Alexander, Brian, Scott, Laurie, Rich, Sharon & Kristal... warm wishes for a wonderful day. It's 5:45am in Los Angeles and this is my favorite time. Those moments before the kids wake up. I remember when I was a kid, the anticipation of Christmas morning was so powerful. Now, as a parent, the anticipation of their smiles and laughter is just as powerful. I hope your morning is as filled with joy as mine is going to be!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jeff. Have a great day.

Thanks Jay

Absorb these moments, record these memories in your heart, hold dear the "funny little things they say" .. You are a wonderful father and truly "get" the meaning of creating the memories your children will hold dear when they are parents...

We spent time with my son and his family last evening at his home .. my granddaughter is now 6 and it seems only yesterday that my son was that age. He reminded us of several things that happened while he was growing up which I'd forgotten. Aaah... life is GOOD.

Have a very Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Jeff, and to the whole Turner Family. 

Brian, the song, Carol of the Bells, was actually originally a Ukrainian folk song. My resident Ukrainian reminds us of that every time we hear it.

TLW... yes, I will most certainly post a family Chirstmas Show for ya'll. I just woke up from a much deserved nap. I haven't taken a nap in... I can't even remember.

Chris, Thank you!!! 

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
You are an artist. That was beautiful. It really was. I don't have a goofy bone in me right now. I watched it three times so I could get a good look at the 6. My goodness they are adorable. I can't imagine having so many 'idgets'. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that show and post it here. We all really enjoyed it. Geez. You made my Son want another 'idget'...SVW. TLW...ROAR!

UPDATE: The free song of the week at iTunes is Jack Ingram's country version of Auld Lang Syne. If you're a country fan, it will be a new year's classic.

Can't get it to play. Help. What do I need to download this time? When you come to Florida you're gonna need to look at my laptop and get me squared away. :) TLW...ROAR!
Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago
Yeah, you got some serious issues. : ) You were able to watch it before, are you on the same computer?
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
My computer is all messed up. I have no idea what is causing it. Norton keeps shutting down. I have to keep turning it back on. I will work on it on Monday. Must get to the bottom of this. It is very weird. I keep resetting things and when I go back my changes are gone. I am mystified at this point. Must be time to cut a check to someone who can help me figure all this out. :) TLW...ROAR!
Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago
I wish it were a Mac, I could help you out... but then again, I probably wouldn't need to. :)  Sorry, personal bias. PC's are finicky and norton causes lots of issues. I've read the NOD32 is a good antivirus and it doesn't cause as much grief. 
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

Hi TLC

I have been running Norton for years on all of my puters and swore by it, only had a few problems.  I have super techie guy taking care of all of that now.  He has installed AVG which is FREE believe it or not.  Have been running it along side of Norton for about 8 months now and not a single problem.  Norton subscribtions are all coming up in January and we are dropping it.  AVG is awesome.

I just went through a round of laptop nightmares with my favoritest puter, my double wide HP laptop/media edition, which is a dreamboat most of the time, I wanted to cry.

I don't waste time anymore, when I hae puter probs I call super techie guy to the rescue.

Good Luck,

Laurie

 

Posted by Laurie Manny (Long Beach CA Real Estate) over 3 years ago

Laurie, great recommendation! TLW, when you get your new computer, you may want to NOT use Norton. : )

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

"Laurie and Real-A-Jeff"

Thank you both for your help. It's time for a new laptop. But I will have to wait a few weeks for that. In the meantime I am going to download AVG. I am also going to find myself a techie. I need one. Sometimes I am  lost trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my laptop. Yah. Looks like I need to get rid of Norton. That's okay I never liked it anyway. Waaaay to weird for me. :)

TLW...ROAR! (la la la la) Sorry Jeff. That was for Laurie we have this thing about singing to each other. SVW.

"Tonights the night the world begins again..."

While these are not my words, they are the words of an amazing rock song that conveys my wish to you on this eve of a New Year.

Happy New Years!

Me

Listen here: Windows or Quick Time

Posted by Craig Schiller (REAL ESTAGING, a nationally recognized leader in Staging.) over 3 years ago

Craig... there you are. I am a goo goo dolls fan. I am listening to the song now as I type. I think the words deserve full feature, so here they are:

Better Days : The Goo Goo Dolls
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

Okay. Well now I have gone beyond smiling very wide to rolling on the floor and yelling I have fallen and I can't get up. LOL. Laurie that did it for me. I have not heard that song in years. Thank you for that laugh. I snatched the link and I'm going over to drop it my New Year Party. Hopefully Fran will get the chance to see just how really twisted we are. SVW.

What are you talking about... it's now 3:38 AM in Los Angeles and my party just officially ended about 5 minutes ago. That was one very long poker game. You'll be happy to know I won our little Texas Hold 'em match tonight. I think it's because the rest of the table was drinking like fish and I just had one tumbler of Gentleman Jack on ice. That's why I'm still awake. And what do I do before I go to bed, check email and AR. I'm not sure if it's sad, sick or dedicated. But it's probably NOT the "D" word. 
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
I am still trying to choose between sad or sick. SVW. Did you win any money or are you stuck with chips? :) Playing poker with the gurgling fish should have reeped you some cash. :) TLW...ROAR!
Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

Oh, now I just love Texas Hold em.  I play on www.pogo.com, tables seat six, no real cash, win points, lottsa fun tho.

Posted by Laurie Manny (Long Beach CA Real Estate) over 3 years ago
Laurie and TLW, the Neighborhood New Year's Eve party is the one time during the year that our family oriented neighborhood breaks loose and lets its hair down. So, we play poker with for real money. We drink real booze. And the wives act as stupid as the men. See Rocky's blog post this morning for her antics. The kids are now napping and soon I will be too. As I get older, having fun is just exhausting. : )
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
Glad to know you used cash instead of the chips. Tell "The Rock" that I left her a comment in "The Hood". I understand that whole having fun being exhausting. I have fun a few times a year and it takes me two days to recuperate. Have a wonderful NAP. :) TLW...ROAR!
Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

I kinda miss the good ole days.

Laurie... when was the last time you hijacked a post?

TLW [SVW]... this is the good ole days. 

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 2 years ago

LOL,

 

I think a mini hijack a few weeks ago, they are not as much fun anymore.  We did it better than anybody else.

 

Thinking about reviving a good ole hijacking?  I'm game, when and where?

 

Bob will play if we invite him.  He, at least, has a sense of humor.   

Posted by Laurie Manny (Long Beach CA Real Estate) over 2 years ago

Hell, I don't hijack posts anymore, now I just write contrary posts and get the whole dang system involved.
