Mimi, what religion/holiday do you practice around Christmas time…..*don’t shoot* I was just curious, ’cause I’ve in the last few years experienced Chanuka, and it’s quite different from the normal Christmas think……This goes for all the rest of you too.

I celebrate Chrismas…is that what you wanted to know???

[NirvanaCat13]

yup 🙂

[Starbreeze]

I think no matter which religion/celebration you participate in, it’s a great time of year…don’t you?

Christmas is “The most wonderful time….of the year!” The song says so! I will be all alone 😥

This is true, I was just wondering to learn more about how people celebrate different religions/holidays.

Well, you’ll always have us and we’re better than nothing. lol 😀 I’m sure some of us will be on and off of here, even on Christmas.

*sends hugs and cocoa* Maybe you can check and see if there are other people in the same boat and have a “everybody bring a dish” dinner?

it’s not right that you should be all alone….wish you could make a quick trip home… 😥 😥

I’m not religious at all…but I do get together with family for Christmas and give gifts and things like that. I think the part I like best about Christmas is the baking! 🙂 I usually have a couple of weeks off (my company has a week of holidays, and I usually take another week of vacation) so its one of the few times during the year that I have a lot of time to bake! I also love Christmas decorations too and I have tons of them…the only problem is that I usually end up not having time to put them up before Christmas and then I end up not decorating at all, because it seems like wasted effort to just do it a couple of days before Christmas. And then if I do decorate sometimes it takes me forever to take everything down. A few years ago I put up my big artificial Christmas tree with a lot of decorations and that was in the living room till April… 😆

My Holidays are pretty much like Mimi’s, not religious at all, but lots of food, decorations, gifts and family gatherings! And I always take 2 weeks vacations during the holidays… It used to be because the company I worked for closed for 2 weeks every year, but even after I changed jobs, I kept up the tradition… Haven’t worked during the holidays in almost 10 years!

Wow! This will be the first time since I joined the Army that I will not be working on either Christmas or Christmas eve. I had thought I was spending it w/my BF, so I took 3 wks leave. He just told me today, that he is going home for the holidays. I think the pot luck idea is a good one. Maybe we’ll make it a poker night, too. I will, of course, hit the forum. I will still put up a tree. I love the Christmas season!!
