Choices to be made for the holidays.i only feel obligated to do one thing ever single year.And sadly if i don't do this i beat myself up a little, ok alot.
every year i feel like i MUST make the almost 9 hours drive to So Cal to see and be with my 93yr old grandmother even though she does not like it when the kids are in her house.i mean at 93 would you want great grandkids playing around hootin and hollerin?my kids are pretty good when you ask them to tone it down. my brothers son who is 6 is a bit more crazy..after all he is a boy and 6 so its a givin.
my therapist looked at me and said "i mean how many more are you gonna have with her?"
my mother passed away 10 yrs ago and my grand mother worries about us.and this is the one time of yr my grandmother would make the trip up here to Paradise to spend it with us.it was my moms favorite time of yr.Christmas tree would be put up right before Thanksgiving.cookies would already of been made. Family time...
CRAP ok i guess im gonna see if its possible to make the trip. fingers crossed i can get a room and the super dive 8 in anaheim.

This will be Teddy and my first Christmas together. He LOVES Christmas ( I love Halloween) and I know he wants to start decorating around Thanksgiving.... I typically start decorating around my and the girls' birthdays (we are on Dec 2, 6th and 17th!) I'm looking forward to making new traditions with Teddy.....and I'm hopeful that the holiday goes a lot better than Halloween did....

It will. I have already talked to Santa

I'd like to say I can actually sit and share a meal with my chosen family for this upcoming holiday, but instead, I'll be working.
So, until I move near others I can share holidays with, my holidays will be, work, work and more work and not because I want to, but because it is mandatory.

For those able to share theirs with family and friends, Happy Holidays to you all.

Sachita · 11-04-2012, 10:28 AM

we are all very close and try to spend holidays together. This Thanksgiving my sister has to work so we are moving our dinner to Saturday. Over the Thanksgiving holiday we will also help my sister move because its the only time she has off. So I'm making the turkey and all the trimmings Saturday morning and serving it all by the fireplace in my living-room.

Dec is Mia's birthday and of course xmas. I don't celebrate christian holidays but I do love the holidays for other reasons and winding down the year. Spending time with family, putting up lights and shopping for the kids. I'm hoping to get a natural, humanely raised ham. I stopped eating pork because of the confinement issue and of course GMO's.

On a normal holiday the family meets at someone's house and we eat and make a day of visitation. In the past I have spent Thanksgiving at the beach and I have spent it in the mountains. I have spent the holidays here at home for several years now. Thinking about taking a trip Thanksgiving week. Don't know if or where I'll go but I'm thinking about it.

Always spend Christmas with the family. Church Chrismas Eve night, spend Christmas day with the family.

When I had the kids at home still, I spent the day before Thanksgiving baking. I had to listen to Christmas carols while I was doing this. It put me in the holiday spirit and the kids loved coming home to the smells of baked goods and Christmas carols. On Thanksgiving I would get up super stinkin' early to prep the turkey and begin breakfast. The kids usually had cinnamon rolls or pancakes and bacon. The parade would be on the tv and the bird was named. Yes we named it so that when it got it's butter bath I would call it by name. The kids loved this!! Our first one we did this little tradition with was named Butter Butt. Another year we got a breast... her name was Dolly.

For the past two years others have hosted Thanksgiving and I have shown up at their place. It's worked okay and, as a matter of fact, Spritz and the General will be here with me for Thanksgiving this year. We will either go to someone else's place or host it all in my little apartment. Next year and on, we will have it at our place and the kids or whomever can return to spending it with me and mine.

Christmas is a whole other story...

starryeyes · 11-04-2012, 10:18 PM

Since I can't spend Thanksgiving with my family and Justin (my mom wont meet her still...after one and a half years) and Justin doesnt have any family (only a son the baby mama won't share on Holidays), we will go to misfit Thanksgiving at a good friends house where all the misfits bring a dish and hang!

Probably the same for Christmas as well, unless there is some sort of a breakthrough. I am not holding my breath. It's their loss, and our gain.

Happy Holidays!

Dance-with-me · 11-04-2012, 11:57 PM

I have always loved the idea of what starryeyes said she might do -- host Thanksgiving for all of the "misfits" - and I did that a couple of times many years ago and it was wonderful fun. I obviously can't do that this year, but if I ever have another year where the family isn't gathering, I'm going to do that again. Or, if the ex is FINALLY out by then, maybe I'll do a Festivus dinner on the 25th for the "misfits"!
