    If you hit the Powerball you can buy a house in Florida for the Winter and become a Panthers fan !

    My thing isn't what to get everyone it's the assholes people become in the stores !


    its not even that,,

    everyone just gets all in rush mode,,

    we gotta go today or we gotta do this now

    im a laid back guy

    only thing i "have to do" is pay taxes and die

    and yes i would buy a house on the north shore of oahu and be gone

    Right there with ya - I kind of have to some stuff xmas related because of work, like put up a tree, but not so much in private life as my husband doesn't celebrate it and neither do my kids. But everyone around me gets so hyper. I spent Christmas day 2006 painting my fitness center, whilst The Fragile was playing. It was very peaceful and I enjoyed the day. I expect I'll do something similar this year.

    me too...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
    but complete agreement on the stress, entirely unnecessary and mostly self-induced. i refuse to get sucked into ANY of it. we buy a minimal amount of gifts - all done - cards only to a chosen few - limit how many engagements we commit to - refuse to travel far ON the holiday. i DO go a bit nuts decorating the house, but only b/c i LOVE it. however, even the decorations scaled back somewhat...and no outdoor lights anymore. it was always a battle with my husband and it just soured what should be fun...so now no lights, just seasonal decor/greenery and such. totally try to focus on the FUN and SPECIAL...and avoid all of the shite.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I used to love it. Having my birthday in December just made it all that much sweeter. But since my Dad died on January 6th 2005....and then my Dog on January 2nd 2007, I just can't seem to get into it anymore. I feel totally depressed right now. I just had a houseful of people for the last week and feel like a doormate with the way everyone "used" me and my hubby. We are the only ones to do all the work...24 for dinner on TG day, and everyone sat on their asses and got stoned and drunk. I'm sick of the whole situation, I'd like to have some fun for once. So this was the last year I'm hosting it. Next year its off to the parade in Manhattan with my sons and hubby. I want to stay in a Hotel, and eat turkey subs.

    I'm on a mission now to somehow find some meaning in the upcoming season, and make it nice for my sons. I am no longer doing anything for family outside of them, except my wonderful Mother. I'm starting today...buying a wreath for the front door.
