sal Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 I'll be heading to South Carolina to spend Christmas with my dad and his wife's family. It will be my first Christmas in a warm climate. I'm actually looking forward to it. Otherwise, its been a very nice holiday season. Normally, I get somewhat sad as I don't really have much family (I'm an only child) and my dad lives out of state. But I've been quite happy lately....been eating some good food, keeping the workload under control, spending more time with friends, seeing alot of movies, and listening to alot of music. For the rest of my life, every time I listen to Ray Charles' Atlantic stuff, I'll be thinking of Christmas 2006. I hope everyone who is having hard times, or is just plain blue, that things pick up and that you end up enjoying the rest of the year. Quote
rostasi Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) I used to not pay much attention to the holidays - just kept off the streets, but then in '87 my sweetheart showed me the real reason for the holidays: the LIGHTS!!! Our house is the designated place each year for the family. We have lots of fun. It's the stuff in the Christmas crackers and the many stockings full of junk from the "one dollar" stores that are the ROTF laugh riot around here. Better than the presents most of the time! It's the cleaning up the next day that becomes a bit much. I've found confetti, small flying discs and balls that were shot out of toy guns, and other surprises when the couch gets moved away from the wall months later! Also, I love getting out the recorded music - the sillier the better - but not too early. Just mix it up and have a good time! Happy holidays to all!!! Edited December 19, 2006 by rostasi Quote

Scott Dolan Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 I'd rather skip that part of the proceedings, if you don't mind. Quote

rachel Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 It's going to be a great Christmas; hopefully we will have some snow. But if not, it will still be a great Christmas because for me it's all about being together. ( especially when there's a 9 year old anxious to open presents--that's the beauty of Christmas for me!)

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Christmas seems less special when you're retired and there aren't a few days off to look forward to. But it's Badger's Christmas Curry tomorrow, with some of my former colleagues. I expect to be properly stupid and that'll put me in the mood. And going to our daughter's on Christmas day is always lovely. The elder grandson (11) wanted money from everyone this year, so he's got very few (token) presents - and we're all intrigued to know what he's going to spend it on. But I'm feeling good and not as poor as my wife thinks we are. And I wish everyone the best. MG Quote
BruceH Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Not feeling terrific. Glad to be alive though. This season doesn't really feel like Christmas yet. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 As long as you and your loved ones have their health, you ain't got nothing to complain about. Quote
medjuck Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 I'm doing my best to putthe X back in Xmas. Actually I'm having a good time. Two nights ago we lit the menorah and then decorated the Xmas tree. (My wife's a convert and thinks it's sacriligous to put up the tree before the lighting of candles on the first night of Chanuka.)

Jim Alfredson Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 I'm just trying to put things in perspective. We sometimes forget how blessed we actually are and get caught up in our own little worlds. Not to say that problems aren't real or aren't serious, but hey... if you're healthy and your loved ones are healthy, then that's all you can really ask for, imo. Quote

Today (my birthday) I'm on pain medication, listening to Dexter, and counting my blessings. Season's best to all of you! Ouch, sorry to hear about that David. I hope you recover quickly. Good to see you around. Damn, what's with all the surgeries around these parts?! Edited December 19, 2006 by Scott Dolan Quote
chris olivarez Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 It's snowing as I type this. Those who like to take pictures of a boatload of snow especially at this time of the year. I guess Christmas for me at this paticular moment boils down to staying warm and keeping my ass on the road. Quote
