    I used to get more excited by Christmas when it meant extra time off work :wink: ! Now I'm retired that aspect doesn't apply, but it remains as it always has been a great family occasion which I relish, all the more now that our grandson who's 2 shortly will understand and enjoy it so much more than last year. Hopefully I'll get to fix some gaming in :smile: !

    Um. I have grandchildren who are in their mid and late 20s. I thought we were about the same age.... I might be a few years older than you are.

    In fact.... husband's great-grandchildren aren't that young - his youngest great-grandchild is 9. Wow. Here I thought I wasn't that old yet.... sheesh.

    However, I do have to say that I'm perfectly happy that our winter celebrations now are just the two of us. We got worn out on huge family things many years back - WAY too much fuss and bother. Starting 1st November, we hibernate. We have our own celebrations that mean things to us, and I cook way too much food for just two people (but hey, leftovers y'know!) I can hardly wait for Christmas Tree Bread (a recipe I have been making since 1964), Eggs Benedict, and real eggnog (no alcohol though as husband doesn't like it that way).

    I love Christmas and every year no matter how terrible that year was I am always looking forward to Christmas. Are you all looking forward to Christmas? What are your plans for Christmas?

    Being all alone at home drinking beer & eating ham. Just the way I like it, away from crazy crowds and my sucky family.

    A fun Christmas tradition I have: see if I can listen to Feliz Navidad on the radio without actively searching for it, before Christmas Eve comes.

    *sigh* I don't have to find it to listen to now - because now you've mentioned it, it's autoplaying nonstop in my mind.

    Thank you Saucy Jack. Not.

    I agree! But I still love Christmas. My BFF and I have known each other 25 years and we have a Magoo party every year where we and our friends watch Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol and all the stupid old special and make all the cookies and eat all the snacks. It's the absolute best. <3

    We actually had a little gathering at The Fishmas Grotto last night for the purpose of a little something we are working on for later in the season.

    Then we went fishing.

    I love the season so much... I find it soothing and relaxing despite all the in-laws and their 1000 children who come to visit. But sometimes my brother (who lives far away) shows up, and we always have so much fun wearing ugly sweaters, drinking wine, watching bad movies and talking about esoteric and mystical stuff all night long.

    This year will be a tad different though as I'll be on on-call duty and I won't be able to leave the house at all... so no mass and no going out for dinner for me this year. Heck, even doggo will have to take his poop in the garden all week long unless I can convince one of the 1000 visiting kids to take him for a walk.

    NO.

    I am looking forward to a holiday, nothing more.

    Happy holidays.

    Is there a need to be this rude? NO? I am not sure how old you are or where you were raised but there was Christmas long before it was a holiday.

    Have a wonderful holiday :)

    I just said to my husband a couple hours ago that it's almost time to watch my favorite holiday movie, Christmas Vacation, and he replied "Not until after Thanksgiving."

    I love Christmas and the holiday season in general, although I could personally do without the obligatory dinner with the in-laws. My take on festive is a little odd, my favorite Christmas song is The Night Santa Went Crazy and I'm a huge horror fan so watching Black Christmas sometime in December is a tradition. I also have fun doing all the normal stuff; decorating, shopping, baking, wrapping gifts, etc.
