Plans and Traditions for Christmas Season?
With the advent of the holidays let's discuss what we do during the Christmas season. It will be a good little vehicle for us to learn more about one another and continue to build a sense of community.
What do you plan to do for this Christmas season? If you celebrate Christmas and the season? What are your traditions? What was Christmas like as a child when you were growing up? What did your family do? If you don't celebrate Christmas, for whatever reason, and many don't, how do you approach and go through it, with so many around you who do?

Christmas Traditions
RG,
My wife and I have the extended family over for Christmas Eve...we cook a light supper and enjoy wine and eggnog. The nieces and nephews open a present; we sing a few carols, maybe watch a Christmas movie. Really good time. On Christmas morning we sleep until a reasonable hour...with no little ones around the house we don't feel the need to get up early to see what Santa brought. My sisters and mom and dad come over and I cook a special Christmas breakfast.....we have Christmas dinner around 2 or 3 that afternoon. I spent a career in the military and missed too many Christmas' at home with my family. I cherish the time I'm able to spend now. My folks are getting on in years and we never know if this may be our last Christmas together..... Hope everyone has a very happy and safe holiday season. Tell the people in your life that you love them..... rangerboy

All I know is that I'll be with my family. I don't usually get to go "home" for Thanksgiving but I never miss Christmas at home, no matter what. I just hope no one here has to spend the day alone.

Christmas Gifts made easy!
Aunt Vicki knows how hard it is for you naughty boys and girls to pick out just the right gift for your lady and male friends. Aunt Vicki comes to the rescue! I have found the most amazing product for health and wellness that your friends will love. All the products are Swiss formulated, U.S. made, and PH correct, hypoallergenic, botanically based, dermatologist tested, formulated without dyes, chemical fragrances, mineral oil or any animal products or bi-products. The company is over 26 years old and has one of Dunn and Bradstreet's highest credit ratings.
These products will make your ladies look younger, feel softer and smooth out her cellulite if you buy that product. How do I know? I use the products every day myself! I have been amazed at what these products can do. For Christmas this year I am going to be making gift baskets utilizing these wonderful products. The prices will fit any budget. You tell me what you can spend and I will make a gorgeous gift basket that you will be proud to give your lady and she will love you for it. Mailing is, of course, offered as well. Oh one other thing. My new and improved web site should be up and running by the first of the year! Hugs and Smacks! Aunt Vicki

Awww, Amber that is so sweet! Christmas really is all about the kids, it's going to be a lot more fun for me now that I have a little one to share the magic with. With my family, we all meet at my grandmother's house on Christmas Eve. We eat a huge meal and then open presents. Then we go to my mom's house (just immediate family) and open presents there. My mom and step dad always do this thing called the Right Family Christmas, it's a story that my mom reads and we all sit in a circle. We each get a small wrapped present and as my mom reads the story we pass the presents to the left when she says left and to the right when she says right. It gets confusing with all the passing and it's fun to watch the funny shaped gift you have your eye on get passed back and forth a million times. My step dad always chooses the gifts and they are hilarious every time, usually a bit adult themed like one year I got a giant size bra and my boyfriend got a tub of Vaseline. There have even been nipple clamps, feminine deoderant spray and a blow up sheep! My step dad says this year he really outdid himself so I can't wait to see what we have in store. I even have a penis shaped cake pan around here somewhere.
Then on Christmas day we will spend the day with my boyfriend's family, we open gifts and then have a nice dinner and they always have stockings for us with really cool little gifts inside. I'm also excited because both of my step brothers are in the military and they have each been in Iraq for about two years but they are both home now and will be there at Christmas and we have three new babies celebrating their first Christmas so it will be really special.

I think I can safely come back to this thread now after Amber's heartbreaking tale. I'm like you RG, a very sentimental person.
My plans are pretty basic. Normally I wake up and while I'm eating breakfast I talk to maggiemay in Australia just before Christmas day is over for her :-) Then I talk to my Brother online and coach him about his upcoming visit to the family that day Then at around 11am it is my turn as the phone will ring and I talk to me Mum and whoever else is there at her house at that time. After that I like to go for a walk in the neighborhood and watch all the kids trying out their new toys.That's pretty much it. Richard Windsor.
