you feel obligated to make at Christmas or else it just wouldn't be Christmas-a certain candy, craft, cookie, etc?

I know it happens to everyone I was just wondering if there is an age when you noticed.

I grew up in the 80's and like the music from than, but i really love swing music. my grandmothe used to tell me about dancing to it when she younger and how much fun it was. I also have a huge crush on Gene Kelly. My friends think i am weird, but i just love him. such a handsom man he was. I guess you can say i have a "old" soul.

My dad was telling me that when he grew up in the 50's that the teachers would smoke in class and that even doctors would smoke. I am not trying to call my dad a lier, but where teachers really able to smoke in the class room. I watched a clip today on youtube of the day JFK was killed. the reporter was talking to a witness and there he was smoking a cig. You would never see that nowadays. thanks!

First annual Christmas tree lighting, I took my boy there. I expected Santa on a sleigh, hot chocolate stands and a big Christmas tree. None of that. At least it was snowing and there were singers. When they gave a few speeches saying next year it will be better and lit the (short) tree, my boy turned to me and asked, "Can we go home now?"

What was your last Christmas disappointment?

Give up?
Or approach it as a challenge, and a learning curve?

A woman was leaving a convenience store when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash.
Behind her, a short distance back, were about 30 women walking single file.
The woman couldn't stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss", I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
"My husband's"
"What happened to him?"
The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."
She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"
The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her too."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.
"Can I borrow the dog?"
"Get in line."

I try for early but am usually late-Just can't get it together sometimes. Then I spend the whole trip there trying to think up an excuse that sounds really good.

Have you been skinny dipping AS AN ADULT? We lived in a house in an association with a pool and occasionally I would swim naked (sometimes alone-sometimes not) in the evenings when I was sure no one would be using the pool. Never had any unexpected guests. They surely would have gotten the sight of their life!!

Did you have a nickname growing up? How about now?
My grandpa beleived everyone should have a nickname-Mine was simple Dede while my sister's was Hooty-sapper-ticker.
Now my nieces and nephews call me Bubbie and My grandkids call me Grandma Bubbie. My BIL calls me Tele-bubbie. Started because my nephew had trouble saying Debi and it just stuck.

and how old were you? When I was about 14 I got a coupon to go to a salon and get my hair cut and styled. It had always been done at home. This would have been 1969. I went and the person who did it must have thought I was 74 not 14. And of course my mom told me how cute it was. I couldn't wait to get home and wash it all out.

I collect Santa's and Nativity's. I have so many my goal each year is now to gind the smallest possible. For years that was all anyone got me as gifts. I write on the bottom who gave me each one or where I bought it and it's fun to reminisce each year as I get them out. They have so many memories. My favorite part of Christmas.

WOMEN:
Women are honest, loyal and fogiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.
Women want to be the best for their families, their friends, and themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable.
Women come in all sizes, in all color and shapes. They live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or email you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile, and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

MEN:
Men are good at lifting heavy stuff and fixing s***t.

THE SCOT

MacTaggart's wife went into labour in the middle of the night in rural turn-of-the-century Scotland, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. To keep the father-to-be busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I'm doing."

Soon, a lusty baby boy was brought into the world. "Och!" said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush to put the lantern by . . . I think there's yet another wee bairn to come."

Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a bonnie lass. "Na, dinna be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, lad . . . It seems there's yet another one besides!" cried the doctor.

MacTaggart scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, "Well, now, mon. Do ye suppose the light's attracting them?"

My friend, Monica, is an accomplished harpist who frequently plays for weddings, receptions, parties and other such events. She is also blonde and has an appropriately cherubic face.
She was on her way to an engagement at a hotel and stepped into an elevator with her large golden harp. Just before the doors closed, a distinguished gray-haired man stepped on.

As the elevator rose, he looked thoughtfully first at her and then her harp and asked, "And just how far up are you going?"

I'm not usually a whiner, but I was so depressed on Thursday morning at work, it scared me. I was almost crying, and I didn't even know why, specifically.

Sure, I have stress in my life, but who doesn't?
My elderly dad is losing his mind, and had yelled at me on Wednesday. His caregiver's husband had died, and he was angry that she wasn't coming that day.
I'm still grieving the loss of my husband ... 21 years ago. Isn't that ridiculous? It's been hitting me upside the head again this week for some reason.
I'm struggling to afford Christmas this year, but I'll manage; I always seem to. I just hate for it to be about money.
I don't get enough sleep -- that could be a major factor, or maybe a symptom.
I have no complaints at all about my health, my house, my car, my kids, my neighbors, my job, or anything else I can think of. I'm angry at myself for being sad; it makes it hard for me to be there emotionally for my youngest child, who is only 10. I feel like such an idiot.

I’m within a few years of retiring, and I find that my retirement incomes will come up a little short of what I’m making now. My dream is to be able to sell some of my artwork to help make up that deficit. I’ve sold a couple of pieces in the past, so I believe that I can do the work. However, I suspect this is a highly competitive market. Because I’m so highly isolated living out here in west Texas and gas prices have gone beyond prohibitive to stupidly ridiculous, I can’t get my work in front of people who can properly evaluate (and hopefully) buy it. Time is another factor, what with working a full time job.

Any suggestions as to what I can do? I guess I need somebody to tell me to either give it up as I don’t have the talent, or keep it up; you’re doing great. If the latter is the case, how would I get my work in front of people who are in a position to buy?

If this doesn’t work, it’s either, “You want fries with that?” or “Welcome to WalMart.” :-)
