QuoteI think we should all get out the wine   lets be merry ^_^

Shouldn't it be "Get out the wine, let's be Mary!"?

I do everything last minute for Xmas but gift cards and money take little time or rushing arond! 
Actually i am going to quite a few parties earlier in the month!  Some just drinks and horsD'oeurves.. some are peoples parties and some are vednors who throw an annual party for their customers..
The one i am dangerously taking a married girl (we are on and off as we see or talk to each other for a year now) to so i hope we do not get busted! ugghhhh
I am revisiting my plans as an emotional rule after thanksgiving and the nightmare that ensued here at home i am considering my old methodology and just keeping to myself!  at least on Xmas...
Maybe the weather will be moderate and i'll go camping?
I'm sure more things will come up before the weekend rolls aorund anyway!
Xmas wishes early HO-HO-HO

Merry Christmas Everybody!

I love the Christmas season...there is so much going on...shopping to do, presents to buy, more shopping to do.  I love watching the people, they just fascinate me.  Mothers with small children in tow, guys wandering around with confused looks on their faces, couples so in love even the crowds don't seem to bother them as long as they are together (behaving in good taste, of course).  These are the joys of people watching. 

So have fun during this season and don't forget those who aren't as blessed as you...help them out in whatever way you can.

.......Laurie

 

Okay NightAngel, I have just stolen your pictures!!! > *giggles*

                                   


              MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Some things i like about Xmas...
the crunch the snow makes when you walk on it!
The fresh smell when its snowy and cold out!
A hot drink like tea or cocoa (yes well i should avoid chocolate-grrr) coming ion from the cold...
The music...
The idea of Christ's brith and the magic that the season is supposed to hold...
Christmas carrolers...
Watching old movies on a cold snowy weekend!
Skiing!!!  and yes i admit the fun and drinking in the ski lodge bars (the food too)
Gingerbead men! -the girsl are nice too!
Things i dislike!
traffic congestion and people trying to kil you with their automobiles in a rush!
all the awful car exhaust smell..
the ugly black snow from the scraping of the roads...
Digging my car out in the morning and shovelling the walks..
the almost to much rush-rush of people and the all about me attitude right before the holiday weekend!
The fact that santa has not given me my wish and turned my body into a girls one!
Grrrrrrrr..........
Maybe more to come
Ricki
Wishy what do you like about Xmas are you in England?  Anything different over there from us? 

Me? Yep, in england here ^_^

What i like about christmas:
The old movies
drinking hot choccy
seeing all the decorations
when it snows (doesn't snow here very often anymore. It used to, but it gets less and less with each year and the last best year of snow we had must have been in the early 1990's)
dressing up all warm to go outside
getting people pressies
receiving (good) pressies lol
turkey
christmas pudding
the best thing though is the people. Just being around other people, it brings everyone closer together, family, friends ^_^ the warmth of other bodies.


What i dont like...
everywhere gets too crowded, shopping malls, pubs, towns.
lack of snow

and i think thats it O_o lol

LOVE christmas!!! ^_^

Tell me wish what is Xmas pudding>
you know one year i actually made the english dish yorkshire pudding.. Unfortunately the amercians eating the dish with a traditional thanksgiving dinner could not appreciate it for what it is...
Xmas pudding I'm curious.. anything else interesting you guys / girls do over there for food on the holiday?
How about gingerbread men i love them warm with the little cinnamon candies in them!
Please tell me you have that awesome English accent... The way you type you must have it.. i love that!
Pa holiday cheer being rushed your way i'll send some snow we are supposed to get snow this weekend temps falling into daytime hi's of 26-30 brrrr.....
Ricki

I used to love christmas when I was younger and had family around, now I spend most the holiday all by my lonesome self.

Sorry Kisa... I do that a lot out of choice though easier to be alone and half miserable than to have to act the male part for my family...

OMG!!! You guys dont have christmas pudding? O_o It's like... >_> i dont know... what is it? O_O lol It's like lots of fruits like cherrys and raisins and things all packed in a sponge... i think? mixed with any alcohol of your choice - brandy, sherry, port, ale, liquer... sooooo yum! And then with hot custard on top! When they cook it, some people light it as a tradition.... i duno why lol

Gingerbread men are yum, but only when soft and just out the oven ^_^ Not too keen on cinnemon... in fact... allergic to it by choice lol cant i cant stand it that much. I suppose i do have a british accent >_> tis a very thick yorkshire one. You watch the Full Monty - thats what i talk like lol

*hugs* you can be lonesome with us this christmas ^_^ We'll make sure you're not completely alone ^_^

Hey there,

  Americans won't eat anything that doesn't have Ketchup (catsup?) on it. You have to be very careful here to not be in a public place after spilling ketchup on yourself. You will be consumed.
  That pudding sounds excellent. It describes christmas to me. Everything tasty and fun with maybe a pinch of something that you normally won't like, but you can handle it because overall, it works.

  Didn't Jesus say "Love. Love. Love"? or maybe it was someone bigger than him. - a beatle reference for christmas, you all.

It's never too early for christmas,


Becky

Wishy i want some....It sounds good, very good!  Not fruitcake thoguh sounds like you said more like pudding i am gonna have to research this some!  You have me inspired!
Hey Beck i have seen people put Ketchup on prime rib and filet mignon yep it's true maniacs!
The heinz Ketchup plant in Pittsburgh is like 10 minutes from where i work!  Wait hold that thought Wishy is gonna think i am a nutcase bragging about a ketchup plant?
I'm losin it but i love you guys!

I only like ketchup with french fries.   There's this tomato fair in San carlos, Ca..where they make ketchup ice cream....ugh! the mere idea of it makes me vomit!

tinkerbell

    Interesting that you don't seem to use a lot of Ketchup, Melissa. Let's just see what Homeland security will do once they find it out.

   I've seen people put ketchup on eggs, tuna fish, and real turkey. Someone told me that canadians have ketchup potato chips.  Strange.   

   Actually, ever since Ricki started talking about what she does for a living, I've been dying to meet her and try out all the food she makes. it sounds so good! (I like how you use my name ricki, I've been trying to get others to find what's comfortable for them)

   I just realized. Poor Wishy is stranded on an Island. Maybe we should call the Coast Guard to retrieve him. 


Becky

Well it might be little early...
I like Christmas again... I found my Christmas "spirit" again when my son was born.

As long as you all remember that the real Santa Claus lives in Finland

Dear Wishy,

I know you are a nice person, but a lot of us don't celebrate Christmas - including Jews, Muslims, Hindus and athiests. I'm a big believer in respecting people, and that's why I feel stongly the phrase "Merry Christmas" should only be used in known Christian company. In order to be inclusive, the phrase should always be "Happy Holidays."

It is not easy to live in a nation where "jesus" is constantly shoved down your throat.

Many thanks,
Bri
