2016 ACS Marathon Countdown


So here we go again! This thread is used to countdown to the next ACS marathon next Christmas Eve. I use this site, http://www.xmasclock.com/, to keep track of the days. I hate to even say it but we are 358 days away. I really hate this time of year with the Christmas season being soooo far away but hang in there and September will be here before you know it!

What happens in September?

reply

That is when i consider the holiday season to begin. To me anyway, its all down hill from that point on.

reply

I'm the same way. Once I start seeing pumpkins and everything is tan and orange at Walmart, I feel like it's Christmas season alreay lol. For me, the Holidays are Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas; I'm not a big New Year's person.

reply

I'm always glad to see the countdown start again! It helps me to know that others out there are looking forward to the holidays just as much as I am!

One question I have every year: Today the clock says 357 days to Christmas. Since we're counting down to the beginning of the ACS Marathon (which beings on Christmas Eve), should we subtract one day from however many days the site says there are until Christmas? In other words, I should post 356 days to go, not 357. Most folks on the countdown thread post the number of days the site says there are until Christmas on the day they post.

reply

You are correct we should actually subtract one day but i, like most, just post whatever number it is without subtracting one day. 351 days left! A long way to go but hang in there it will be here before you know it!

reply

Thanks for the input and you're right, it'll be here before we know it!

reply

Thanks agscott74! ffchris where have you been? You disappeared from the board the last few months of the year last year. Well it feels like the roughest part, getting through the first three months, is over and in 12 weeks the fall retail items will be everywhere. 238 days left. Hang in there everyone summer will be over before you know it.

reply

duval7 - New job, longer hours and no more desk and time to surf the web all day. But I still try to check in from time to time. On that note, 237 days 3 hours and 42 minutes until the marathon begins on the east coast.

reply

222 to go!

reply

Exactly seven months from tonight at 8 P.M. eastern.

reply

Hallmark channel alerted last night: 200 days until Christmas.

So that means they'll be starting their Christmas programming in a couple weeks. LOL

Ironically, I think they are gearing up for the release of their 2016 Christmas Ornaments. I know most of the syndicated shows they run it appears they are showing the Christmas episodes more frequently lately.

Don't they do a "Christmas in July" as a promo for the ornaments?

We're under the 24 week mark and Hallmark is running it's Christmas in July special. I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm starting to get into Christmas mode!

reply

Me too! 166 days left and before you know it we will be in the double digits. In three weeks Oktoberfest will be on the shelves as well as the fall decor. It's been a crazy hot summer but i, at least, feel like we are almost over the hump.

163 'til the marathon! Autumn through Christmas are my favorite time of year and each year, I start to feel those things getting closer after the 4th of July.

just about to get my shopping done!
