Holiday Cheer!

Waldo · 11-11-2009, 01:45 AM

Just realized that this Christmas will be my first as a single person in several years. Usually when I'm single I don't do the tree or anything like that. I will either volunteer or more often take a trip.

But this year, with the house coming together so nicely it seems almost a shame not have a tree. I'll have to struggle with that one a bit.

But the day after Christmas I know exactly what I'll be doing - I'll be looking for bargains at the annual Room & Board Clearance event.

In the mean time I'll get my holiday cheer on with bringing together the company party.

oooo ... the Holiday Markets start in Prague end of NOV ... and I cannot wait.

The Christmas Season is my favorite. I am heading to the Nuremberg Christkindl Market in Germany mid DEC .... ~wooottt~

I'll spray them with glitter if it makes them more festive

Niiiiiice!

The holidays always bring fond memories of dysfunctional family gatherings past.

What brings the holiday cheer better than inebriated relatives and passive aggressive barbs?

Queerasfck · 11-12-2009, 03:46 PM

Humbug....

suebee · 11-14-2009, 08:54 AM

Yanno, I was going to start a Christmas thread, and then I remembered that Medusa was here. Helloooooooo!

Good news for all urban-dwellers south of the border! (no, not the Mexican border silly! ) The christmas trees and wreaths are on their way soon! I see the trucks bringing them to the loading stations now every day!

Good news! Huh?

StillettoDoll · 12-07-2010, 05:36 AM

Definately have Christmas cheer up in here!
Christmas tree up (Its red this year). Cards sent out..... Christmas music playing 247 in the garage. Outdoor light are up in the yard . Did 2 xmas festivals.
making Christmas soaps
Need to find a holiday table cloth and wreath. And some more ornaments
I really could use a christmas cookie.........

diamondrose · 12-07-2010, 06:55 AM

Putting up the tree today. Already sent cards out!! I have been wraping gifts for various friends and family members!! Its getting super cold outside and the holiday rush is in full swing at work! This is my favorite time of the year!

QueenofSmirks · 12-07-2010, 07:43 AM

I had planned to decorate and start addressing holiday cards last week, but just had too much going on. This week is busy too! Gonna have to wait for the weekend or even next week, but I'm looking forward to it!

Bit · 12-07-2010, 10:11 AM

I'm in the middle of cards--got two lists done, started a third, am waiting for addresses on the fourth. I hoarded stamps all year, bought extra whenever I could, to get enough for this holiday season.

I bought a few Yule decorations this year at the dollar stores. Found metal--lots of jingle bells, especially--because even plastic is not safe from the "Jaws of Death" that is a year-old lab.

Now I just need the energy oomph to get the tree up, and the outside lights as well.

princessbelle · 12-07-2010, 10:17 AM

Christmas is hard this year having just lost my brother a few weeks ago.

Harder on my mom of course. She wasn't sure if she was going to put up a tree or not.

My son went over there yesterday and got it out for her and put it up...without the decorations on it. Thought we would let her decide.

Called her this morning...she is puttin on the decorations now .

There will be a voice that is not there Christmas morning....a present that is not given.....a place at the Christmas breakfast table that is empty....The one that ALWAYS wore the santa hat not there........A smile that is missed....A beautiful spirit that is not seen first hand but that is felt.

Life goes on.

Sachita · 12-07-2010, 03:53 PM

I really want a Christmas tree and enjoy decorating the fireplace but I have three cats from hell that enjoy opening drawers, taking stuff out of there and trash then tossing it about. I dont even want to think about the havoc they would wreck on a tree or shiny tinsel draped about.

I don't buy a lot of gifts but what I do I buy before thanksgiving. I will buy a big ass prime rib and cook dinner. I'll spend Mia, my granddaughters first christmas, at her house since she'll only be 9 days old.

I might make a lot of cookies and give them away real fast!

Our tree is up and lit, presents have started arriving, recipes planned! WOOT!

Puplove · 11-14-2009, 01:10 PM

I'm sending Medusa a christmas sweater with lots of sequins and holiday fuckery on it.

I started playing all chistmas music last week. Can't wait to get the tree up and outside lights up!

It's the most won-der-ful time of the year...
