Just wrapped some gifts.
The Rib Roast has been in the oven for 2 hours.
My wife's family is on the way over to the house.
The fancy schmancy dinnerware is on the table.
The house smells of pine cones and Christmas Tree.
Cookies have been baked.
The Horror!
:P
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Seeing the children at Christmastime, dressed up for Santa photos.
All smiles and excitement. The very best part of the holidays... believing.
Believing? Believing in what? Santa?
Please try and make some sense. This is the whole point of words and communication - to make the other person understand you. Posting cryptic nonsense in the style of Yoda does not fit this bill.

There is plenty of time for truth... let kids be kids and have some fun!
And as adults we should let ourselves have some fun ... for goodness sakes!
That's right, It's about the children. It's normal to be over Xmas when your an adult. There's no way I'd take away the excitement from my little girl, it's priceless seeing them believe in it all.

Adelaide BIG DAY OUT 2014
Lets see, I had a wonderful Saturday spent with my wifes side of the family. We had a wonderful meal, and shared stories. Then Sunday, my brother-in-law and I watched Football, ordered a pizza, and shared stories. Today I will go to my parents and fix yet another Rib Roast. We will laugh, maybe play some cards, eat some cookies, and talk about "Christmas Past". Then tomorrow, yet another day spent with family, exchanging gifts, listening to Christmas music, eating cookies, playing silly games, and enjoying one anothers company.
When will this money driven, commercialized, Christmas tree shoved down my throat, society controlled, nasty Holiday ever come to an end?
The Horror!
:P

This really is beautiful! This is what I love about the place I live too, very mulicultural and diverse. I grew up celebrating Christmas but don't anymore. I still love the spirit of this holiday though... Peace, love, family, hope...all if this we all have in common no matter what our religious beliefs are or aren't. Happy holidays to all whether yours is tomorrow or some other time if the year!

that's nice to see. Jesus plays a role in the Muslim faith as well so really everyone should stop and appreciate the season and respect everyone's different views. The man wasn't even any of those religions obviously so respecting interpretations is a must. Sounds like a great party.
We're kicking back, watching 70s and 80s Christmas episodes that i've taped over the years, classic Christmas films, etc. Gifts tomorrow morning and then more relaxing.
I had been dreading Christmas since the one day in September when I found out my mom would be coming up for the holiday and staying with me in my 200 sq ft apartment for three days.
Now, it's done and all of the dread was for naught. Mom only stayed at my place (very comfortably) for one night. The rest of the days were spent getting some quality family time in with my mom and sister out and about then back at my sister's much larger apartment. It was fantastic. I was actually sad to see my mom go.
Even better, it's highly unlikely to ever be repeated again. Next year may be such a non-event that I will have even less of an interest in Christmas.
