Christmas is Coming!! Christmas is Coming!!

[Spideyman]

Having trouble getting in a Merry Christmas mood;
Feeling sympathetic towards the Grinch's attitude.
Just now finished doing cards but none of them are mailed.
Told myself I wouldn't stress - that ship's already sailed.

(((MrsSmeej ))) feel the love.

I hope everyone enjoys their holiday season, no matter what they celebrate.

...speaking of cards, I want to publicly thank Neesy and Doc Creed for their thoughtful Christmas cards......I have gotten out of the habit of sending cards.....I would rather tell the person how I feel in person, secondly in a text or a post....and please don't feel that this is a condemnation of those that are kind enough to send cards....it's just my way....as a Speech/Communications major-I deal better in those formats and you can definitely read this easier than my chicken scratch on paper.....

Just walked into the Disney store at west Edmonton mall in Canada and they have the Christmas tums tums set for $30.00 but it’s still priced at $181.00 somstill to expensive I will just keep on watching it go down and down , if it goes under $100.00 I may consider it. Or perhaps closer to $50.00

 

[Hill lover35]

This is it. It is listing the us price. Even for the us price I whould not buy it.

Should be a weird Christmas for me - but at least I won't be alone!

My dad died of cancer just over 3 years ago. My older brother had a weird relationship with my dad, while my father and I got along great and spoiled the hell out of me. I guess my dad was really hard on him when he was younger... Anyways, since my dad's been gone, my brother has been treating me like crap, I caught him and his son trying to scratch my brand new Subaru (just after I got it detailed!), he'd say all sorts of insulting comments about me in front of the family, glared at me like I'm satan whenever I'm talking with my nieces/nephews, sibs and other people, was very distant and strange when we'd have a discussion - he loved to make conversations difficult, often turning them into arguments. He's a very negative and bitter person and I couldn't take it anymore.

Over the years, I've done all of the preparation, working my butt off shopping, cooking for my entire family - usually cooking for 12-14 people. Last year I said I don't feel comfortable around my brother anymore and wound up skipping on family Christmas, forcing everybody else to have to deal with cooking for a change. I haven't seen him in over 2 years and have no desire to.

So, this Christmas, I get to spend with just my mom and I. We're going down to Palm Springs - I'm not sure if I'm going to cook us a special dinner or if we're going to find something to do in the area, but it should be nice.

Sorry for dishing out the drama but I needed to get it off my chest. Family stuff SUCKS! I'm bummed my mother hasn't called him out on any of this stuff... Apparently none of my other siblings did last Christmas, either. I hate when there are these issues and nobody does or says anything and things just get worse and more uncomfortable. Makes me wish my dad were still alive - maybe these things wouldn't be happening.

sending you lots of good cheer and have a great time in Palm Springs!
(Good for you for avoiding all the unnecessary dräma)

Yay do believe I have wrapped all the gifts now.

I haven’t even started wrapping gifts. But I’m kinda done buying. Unless I can sneak in one more lol,

I am only now feeling Christmassy. I wasn’t sure whether I would be seeing my youngest or not. He is basically living with his SO. Well, they’ve decided to come here Xmas Eve and spend the night. We had already bought the presents, but now I th8nk we should give SO some jammies. It’s traditional with our kids....they open one present Xmas Eve and it’s jammies.

Obviously, I cannot make them a stocking...but I can fill a store bought one.

I should explain. There is not any issue or fighting with DS. We will see him, just wasn’t sure if it would be on Xmas day. I had decided to just accept that we wouldn’t.
