really that pathetic that we have nothing better to do on xmas eve then to be on yahoo answers, or you just waiting for the little ones to go to sleep, so you can wrap their presents and put them under the tree? i must admit it is a little bit of both in my case.

And, as we get older..............Not pathetic, just different. This is where I really feel at home. Especially when good friends are present, too. I like being in touch with the world and the differences we all share. Especially at holiday time. I love hearing about all the different types of celebrating from different cultures and countries. So, I think we are a family and keep in touch to share as much as possible.

Every time we wrap or recieve a gift for Christmas it is put under the tree, I don't wait to do it... besides, my son is 9 and he knows Saint Nicholas was the one that started the tradition of gift giving the way it is practiced today. He also knows Saint Nick lived long ago and that there are no magical sleighs and flying reindeer, so it works out...
also, there's no room in our tiny home to hide much. Gifts fit best under the tree. Even though we know there is no "Santa Clause" we enjoy the fun that all of us have with the holiday. We also enjoy observing the day as Jesus' birthday, even though the celebration is quite early given that Jesus was born in the spring.
I guess it could be considered pathetic to have nothing better to do than be on Y answers on Christmas Eve... wait.... maybe I DO have better things to do. I think I'll get off the computer now. Maybe I'll make cookies or talk with a friend... there's midnight mass too, maybe I'll go.
God be with you, bless you.. and Merry Christmas to all!!

If Christmas isn't your holiday, it isn't any more pathetic for me to be up this late than on any other night.
Earlier today I took baked goods and presents and delivered them to Christian friends, and I spent a nice long visit with a dear friend who is going through her first Christmas as a widow.
Other than that..this is just another evening and tomorrow is just another day for me.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.
Shalom

Already finished eating and cleaning up from a Christmas eve dinner for about 20 friends and family. Now just trying to distract myself from my aching tummy from overeating.

I'm multi-tasking by playing Zelda, actually. And, as you said, waiting for all to go to sleep before putting the presents under the tree.

Hah, I haven't even went to bed yet! I had pics to post for family and parties, than a little one, about 2 who went to sleep before we made it back home for Santa, and I have to take her pics and send to family.
And I confess, I am addicted to YA!
pathetic, but true

Nope. We saw a great movie -- "Charlie Wilson's War." Tomorrow we fly to the Pacific Northwest along with a lot of other people from our congregation.
Shalom!

I already celebrated the holidays with my family since they go see my brother on xmas day, so today/tomorrow are pretty much just normal days for me.

I've been working like a dog all day on wrapping, cooking, cleaning, etc. I'm taking a break right now. (btw- I'm making the kid stay up as long as possible so I can sleep in tomorrow. *smile*)
