Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy holidays, everyone. I also scaled down a bit this year, although my family never had very elaborate celebrations. With a few exceptions, I gave almost everyone a book this year, which I believe is always the best kind of gift. What I enjoy about this holiday is giving something useful to people I love, or simply something simple to make them happy, which makes me happy. Puck and I spent Christmas eve with my family yesterday, and today we're with his family in PA. Overall, I'm mostly grateful for some time off of work to recharge my batteries.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day no matter how you decide to spend it. :)
 
About a week ago I talked with an old veteran friend who hasn’t been doing too well. He is a very smart guy and I think seeing part of reality for what it is has him lost in a lot of ways. He doesn’t seem to have an aim or a greater purpose to work with and for and commit to in terms of his life. He also lacks a network to help in many ways, even if it is just reading what others are thinking and doing. It made me realize how lucky I am to have the connection I have to this forum and associated surrounding work.

To the participants on the forum and its creators and maintainers – thanks for being here and doing what you do! Have a Merry Caesarmas and a most excellent New Year!
 
Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice everyone, to me the christmas is the time when you can improve your relations with your loved ones and friends, so i wish all of you and your loved ones a happy holiday season, spend more time together because that is the meaning of the holidays. :hug: :hug2:
 
I just want to extend my best wishes to all of you. Although things are not going well around our little world, i wish you all had a great day with ur loved ones. Thank you to all for the knowledge and lessons we have been sharing in this journey and many more to come :) For me it's the second year I can truly enjoy myself, being happy and sharing with the family, that's the best gift the universe could've given me, and this would not have been like that without all the things i've learned from this community.

Thank you guys again, a big big hug to all of you, stay safe and lets keep our eyes open in the next coming days. :love: :hug2:

A little song for you:

 
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a great day! :) December has rolled by fast this year and it does seem hard to get into the spirit. It's like just doing the motions.
 
Spend Christmas alone. And sadly I didn't even got visited by 3 spirits. I suppose you also have to work during Christmas to get that going.

Anyhow, Merry Christmas !!! :)

Sorry that you were alone.

Ark and I had dinner with the kids/crew, but then spent most of the day in our rooms more or less grieving for the plane crash victims and their families and the world at large. That one hit both of us hard because we both really have loved and enjoyed the Russian Army choir for years. It was a very good thing that we didn't have much planned for Christmas.

The 40 or so days mentioned by the Cs is not even half over and already we see the damage the CIA can do when they become like rabid dogs backed into a corner.

Not a Merry Christmas at all.
 
Yesterday I grieved also for the victims of the air plane. Strange that we can feel so sad for people that we don't know personally. I imagine we grieve for them and for the people that love them, for the Russians, for the planet earth and for the Universe that send us messages and this accident is a message for this Christmas. To know that I am not alone to grieve for this horrible accident is maybe a Christmas gift. Take care everybody.
 
I'm another who hasn't been able to get into the celebratory spirit. I had a small dinner with my mom, dad, and sister, exchanged some gifts with friends, nothing extravagant, mostly things I thought would help them. Spent the rest of the time on the forum and reading Gnosis.
It has been difficult to put on a fake smile the past few days at work (I work with kids), but it is what it is.

I hope you're all well, and that the new year brings us all growth!
 
I spent yesterday reading a lot online and in the evening I had a nice dinner with some friends and family at my ex-girlfriends'/mother of my childs' house. It was nice, we had a laugh, the kids enjoyed it too but I was happy to only be there for around three hours or so before returning home. The rest of the evening was also spent reading, keeping up with the news on the plane crash, listening to the Red Army Choir on youtube and generally feeling very sad about it. Just to unwind from all the horror a bit before bed I tried to watch a movie (the latest Indepence Day installment) but I fell asleep about half an hour into it. I guess my mind knows what time it is too.

I am meeting some other friends this evening, just to hang out a bit and maybe go dance in the city but I admit I don't really feel like it. It'll just end up with me realizing halfway trough the night how useless and blind the whole party thing/scene is anyway.
 
Twelve years ago my husband and me have moved, and since then I´ve compensated the lack of real friends and family during these feasts by hanging all sorts of Christmas lights and decoration in my appartment. Although it hardly bears any ressemblance with the decoration and smells I enjoyed so much as a child in my native country, it still makes a good job at lightening up our hearts in midst of this carousel of life spining faster than ever.

May the russian choir and all those who followed the same fate rest in peace, and here goes my sincere condolances to all their loved one.

And thank you Laura and extended family for never dropping the ball, as much as you may surely question it sometimes when the stake seems that high. We need you, but you already know it so well! :)
