Christmas (or Festivus for the rest of us) means that it is time to revisit certain classic seasonal films:

  1. Home Alone
  2. Die Hard
  3. Die Hard 2
  4. Krampus
  5. A Nightmare Before Xmas
  6. Anna and the Apocalypse

I was heavily attacked 25 yrs ago on Christmas eve.
My nose was broken, two guys got my phone (mobiles were rare that days), and I went home.
Told my parents not to call me on mobile again, and that I was beaten.
Nokia had sleeping Snoopy on screen :slightly_smiling_face:ā€¦
After two days, police, ambulance guys, and my father came to my door.
I was hospitalized first time.

Recently, during living in city, I experience something on Christmas.
Iā€™m calm that day, and if snow is falling, that is perfect. I feel lite.

Hey zoa, sorry that happened to you, I was beaten a few times when I was young, there was a crowd of 15 or 20 one time and I was hit on the head with a bottle and robbed, not very nice at 14yrs old, it was before I was ill and I think it was a miracle I managed to crawl out when they had me up against the wall (iā€™m pretty sure something was looking out for me that day) & It may have been the start of my downward spiral.

I hope you have a good Christmas anyway, I like snow as well.

Iā€™m glad youā€™re still here, I donā€™t think Iā€™d have fought if someone had a gun, Iā€™d just give them everything,

Here is my top list of favourite things at Christmas

  • Togetherness
  • Trees/Decorations
  • Music
  • Singing Carols/songs
  • Dinner together
  • Crackers
  • Cards/Gifts

I like getting a meal at New Years as well, we have steak pie and we do the count down, sing the national anthem & watch the fireworks at midnight :slight_smile:

Christmas used to be busy when I was in the Marines. Thatā€™s when everybody gets leave and travels and we visited our family.

Kind of relaxed now. I donā€™t have to travel. Still we go visit every one.

I like the lights and outdoor decorations.

New Yearā€™s Eve I donā€™t see anymore. I have no desire to see anything but the back of my eyelids at midnight.

But I like New Years Day. I cook cabbage and black eyed peas. One of my favorites. I call it Cajun Bioled dinner. Itā€™s like New England boiled dinner except no corned beef I use sausage and lots of Cajun seasoning. Itā€™s quite good and easy to make. Cornbread goes good with it. And there is always a football game on.

Seriously, Iā€™ve said several times to leave religion out of the Christmas posts.

Next one that does it gets suspended if I see it.

And educate yourselves on the origins of the holiday. Thereā€™s been winter solstice celebrations for millenia. What we celebrate today is a mix of all of them.

I didnā€™t mean to, I saw someone say exactly what I got in trouble forā€¦I didnā€™t think it mattered since they asked what it meant to each personā€¦sorry. I wonā€™t ever do it again. @anon4362788

I love it, but I love all holidays. I really love getting people presents and decorating. Iā€™m determined to have Christmas-y bedding eventually. I have stuff for every room downstairs but my pantry. Iā€™ve felt unattached the past couple of years, but Iā€™m hoping to do better this year. Iā€™m scared of what Ghost may do to our decor, though.

Anyhow, I love it so much because I get to show others how much I care about them and pay attention to things theyā€™d like. I donā€™t have to deal with anyone outside my immediate family, though. Me, hubby, and the kids only for about 16 years now.
