We celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve (so yesterday), was my best present ever, family all there, all had a great time, all shared pressies, and yummy food, and funny/silly stories of days gone past. Was an awesome afternoon. As you get older, you realise what really is important in life, and its not material things that's for sure. First Christmas without our Mum's for my man & I so that was hard. (& my Mum's birthday is Christmas Day). Merry Christmas everyone. xxx

I will tentatively say this year's Christmas it was nice to see my son across the table from me looking much better than he has been for a long time now and I am really happy he is still home with me and safe and still alive . .. looking like the bad crew he found himself travelling with has finally got their claws out of him and he is finding his way out of the darkness .Edited 26-Dec-22 10:03am

Probably not the best but the funniest. Mum told us she had asked for an ironing board from Santa. It was hidden in the house next door and Dad had to collect it Christmas morning. He had just put it under the tree when he heard little footsteps. He rushed out the front door and just missed being caught by my younger brother. Before he opened his own presents he rushed up to Mum and yelled "he's brought your ironing board". Mum's thinking oh no. Then my brother said "Mum he's brought your ironing board, come on". She knew he hadn't because she hadn't heard any wrapping being destroyed but she asked him if he had opened any of his own presents.Of course he said with excitement in his voice. While he started on his she rushed to the toilet. As she was walking out he was saying, "come on Mum, hurry up" We have laughed about that for years. Sadly our parents are no longer with us.

We don't celebrate Christmas but we lived in England for one Christmas and America for another so got to see 2 White Christmases, and while they are cold they are beautiful, especially when the sun shines and it looks like the ground is covered with diamonds.

  HE was actually born in April, but yeah, the main thing is that we acknowledge that HE is a real person and that every year we celebrate HIS birth and do those things HE would want us to, by being kind to others and giving out gifts. HIS life and mission on this earth was the ultimate gift to us from Heavenly Father. Merry Christmas :)Edited 26-Dec-22 11:22am

  He can't have been born in April because of the Passover and it was long over when he was born. The date says when he was born, December 25th, but December should be the 10 month as in deci, not the 12th. October is 8, November 9 and December 10.

  What are your sources for claiming that? HE wasn't born on December 25th. The passover has nothing to do with when HE was born. Anyway the main thing is that HE was born, HE died for our sins, in three days, HE overcame the power of death and was resurrected, and in due time HE will return again to the earth. Let's just agree to disagree on when HIS birthday was. PEACE OUT.

Today, Lord Willing, we will attempt to make it to my Son's house who lives in another state, to take gifts, enjoy a meal, see the Granddaughters and Great Grandchildren, as well as my Son, and his wife. They didn't think we would be able to make it, so everyone was kind of upset yesterday, took us over an hour to just get our doors to our old van opened up as they were frozen fast bad. Still severe weather today, and extreme cold, so all prayers appreciated. Edited 24-Dec-22 17:11pm

I didn't get what I wanted this year sadly and that was for our cat to get better I guess she will in away but not they way we were hoping. She has to loose one of her back legs. We are very sad this Christmas it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. It all rather upsetting and we still have a long road ahead of us. Cried a bucket load of tears and we are trying to be happy that we didn't have to put her down as she is only 6 and has some life in her yet. Her life is going to change for ever and she won't be able to go out like she used to.

  Thanks Summer it was the hardest decision we have ever had to make regarding one of our pets. My sister has a three legged whippet and he seems fine but she got him that way so she didn't make that choice whereas we had too. Just so sad. I have seen some videos on YouTube that has helped a little. Still breaks our hearts though.

I was a young mother with three young children. A neighbor came over and cooked and froze a week of meals for the family. She gave me something money could not buy, holiday with my three children and no worries except having fun with them. We did not have anything fancy or expensive, but we laughed for two days.

I've had to really rack my brain on this one, but I remember being 7 or 8,,which is 50 years ago, and I vividly recall a standing "walking doll" leaning on the Christmas tree in my parents living room and when I saw her all dressed in white in her wedding dress, which if I recall correctly was made by the clever seamstress across the road, I fell instantly in love with her. My parents didn't have much money then and I think that I realised then at my young age that this doll was special! I no longer have the doll but I do have the wedding dress here in my home till this day and it evokes special memories! Merry Christmas to you all!

  There's nothing like the blessing of a child. My youngest daughter was born on the 21st of December and she just turned 30. I had 3 sons and one daughter up until then and I thought that I would have another boy. Because she was breech and her legs were up around her head, called a "Frank Breech presentation", we couldn't tell on the ultrasound what sex she was, so when she was born my then husband saw the umbilical cord and thought it was a penis. I was in so much pain, no epidural as it was a very quick delivery, that I couldn't have cared less at that time what it was. But I fell in love with my little auburn red haired daughter who completed my family and has bought so much joy in my life and she and I are alike in SO many ways. I do NOT have a favourite child but I enjoy Maddy's company as we are on the same page about most things and are both Sagittarius. May you and your daughter have a wonderful Christmas together and a great 2023!

Not really. When I was a kid we did not get toys. Maybe a Xmas stocking but usually clothes we needed for the rest of the year. When I was married my ex did not deem it necessary to spend money on me. All the fun was drained out of Xmas for me. Now it is just a bit ho hum for me unfortunately.
