JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON AND HE LOVES ALL OF YOU!!!
OF COURSE I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

I love the holidays but they can be very sad too at the same time. I try to remember those who have passed on and memories of Christmas's past. New yrs is a tough one too. But I always tell myself its a time for second chances, starting anew.

IT'S A LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP TODAY. TOMORROW WHO KNOWS!

i love christmas...the smell of the tree, gathering with family and friends and of course all the delicious food that everyone else makes.
happy holidays everyone!

Christmas was the only time of year that I could be sure of seeing all my family together. I used to love it. We had such good times.
Since I moved away and now drive big rig, I haven't seen them for christmas for the last 6 years. I usually only get couple days at xmas off and with the usual winter weather/bad roads, can be hard to even get home.
So Christmas is usually a little melancholy for me, especially since we lost our youngest sister couple years back. Phone calls just don't cut it on Christmas. I resent the stress of trying to get all the shopping done while trying to work and the pressure of pushing so hard to get home on xmas eve.
Yes, I know I sound so bah humbug, but once I used to really love it. Now it's just a dreaded time of year, especially when you know it's only yourself and your daughter alone.

I love the season...I really get into the spirit of things when I see all the homes lit up with lights glowing on the snow...ahhhh...and can't forget the real reason I love the season...it's such a thrill watching the excitement in my granddaughters eyes when they are opening gifts..that is truly a joy...

Thanks for the great contest NLN

Yes dear, I understand all that for sure. But I recently
lost my Dad and would give anything for a Christmas
with just me and him

Sorry for your loss TDTAT, and I know what you mean. At least we have our memories eh? I always take time at christmas to think of family passed..it does make me feel a little better oddly enough.
I'll make a real effort this year to be more positive and grateful for what I do have..and to pass on some Christmas cheer...much better to give eh?

cdomi66, Your daughter is lucky and will be very very glad to have
you around on Christmas I know that!!

Being that she's a teenager I've never too sure of that but....LOL thanks TDTAT *hugs* you're a kind woman

cdomi66, ok if she is a teenager Santa better
bring a pink or green ipod or iphone..

*wink* Santa's got it covered
