Dear Santa

Watch it, Wendy. That could put an eye out. :)

Oh dear! :rofl:

Oh this is a fun one!...I love X-mas...and I am a Jew...lol....

Happy Khanukka, then! Hopefully I spelled it right :)

We like holiday season. We selebrate Khanukka, Christmas, and New Year. However, we manage to have fun and not much of stress. First, we celebrate only with family or closest friends. Second, we go for easy gifts: for example, gift cards. This year, by the way, I broke this rule and got an I-pod for the stepson and an electrical car-seat massager for Hubby. :thumbs-up We do not go out and do not invite a lot of people in the house.
The only real stressor is the noise made by people outside, and drunk guys sometimes appearing on your backyard.I usually ask a friend to keep my car in his garage for the Christmas night and New Year night.
And one more thing: if someone did not prepare gifts, or prefered to go to sleep instead of celebrating - others are never disappointed.

i would like santa to bring me a job ;P

no, really. luckily i'll spend the holiday season getting trained at my new job. last interview tomorrow. hope it happens. i like the idea so much i wouldn't mind having to work the whole summer and not being able to see my folks.

i so want to pay my own rent (not doing it right now). it would be the best christmas gift.

if i don't get the job i'll stop looking for a month and go visit my parents to do a little detox and a little babysisterhuggin', which would also make me very happy (but would probably end up annoying me to no end when they start giving too much instructions)

Well, I would just like to say that I am cross with Anthony now........he went shopping today to buy my Christmas present and has come home with a cement brick from Bunnings (the hardware store) wrapped up in Christmas paper.

What is even more annoying is that I thought I knew what he was buying me and he gloated about it saying he knew what I thought it would be and was correct. What a cow!

He is walking around the house thinking he is so damn smart and is ignoring all discussions surrounding my present....:wall:

I'm not impressed as I can't stand surprises and have no patience when it comes to exciting things...... Man, he is driving me crazy. I mean, I have to put up with his smelly farts and now he is enjoying tormenting me.

Maybe this is a life lesson in patience??? *put the brick down, Nicolette!!*

Men, I've found, all level out at about nine or ten years old and then just get bigger. And there's nothing more smug than a little boy with a secret. Not only does he know something you don't...you want to know, too. That's just gravy for him!

BTW-The WWDWSMFC (Women Who Deal With Smelly Men's Farts Club) meets every other Thursday at 7pm. Welcome to the club. *grin*

I elected not to put up a tree in my house, to keep me calm and unstressed. I have paper strewn all about the house though, as I am trying to bind several books as gifts. I am also creating a sort of choose-your-own adventure book for my mother--I can't afford to buy her a new computer, so I'm putting together all the options so she can choose her own, and then I'll help her set it up.

I want Santa to bring me a pair of Uggs (unlikely), some cashmere sweaters (equally unlikely), and the new Harry Potter DVD (probable!).

 

[Nicolette]

I think we should all pitch in for some air purifiers for Nicolette! =)

Thanks Grace but with some of the smells Anthony lets loose I think I need some heavy duty stuff :wink:

 

[grace5555]

lol, Nicolette - maybe a hazmat suit like they wear in labs with ebola and stuff? =)

All I want for Christmas is my Hubby home. Not to bring everyone down, but it is also my 30th 2 weeks after Christmas and even though everyone is telling me I HAVE TO have a party, I can't bring myself to plan one.

On a lighter note, Nicollette, Lisa and all, I also have some pretty choking dog farts to contend with here. She takes a particular liking to eating the tomoto leaves through the vegetable garden fence and they give her wind a particulalry acidic aroma - PHEW!:eek:

For Christmas this year I am going with my family to Curacao and Venezuela for 2 weeks. I'm going to be snorkeling for the first time, which is kind of exciting but also scary because I have a fear of sharks. I'm hoping to enjoy my trip though, and spend lots of quality time with my family. My brother Scott and his partner are coming along, and I don't know either of them really well, I've only seen Scott once in 7 years, so I hope to get to know him a bit better on this trip. What I really want though is to be cancer-free this coming year (I am currently in remission). And I want my family to have an easier year in general. 2007 has been really tough.

Sounds like a fabulous trip Evie! Sure you will have a great time!!
