    Did you survive christmas?

    I had a fairly good Christmas this year. I had a nice dinner with the family. My wife survived her 60-80 hour retail work weeks. I got a week off with my son and I got a kindle fire as a gift. Best of all, I still have a good job and a roof over my head. How was your Christmas!

        Probably had about 10 full plates of food over the past few days and close to a half gallon of booze!! Not to mention the multiple extra large pieces of Tiramisu cake the wife made (and I don't even like sweets so much). I FEEL LIKE A BLOATED AND DRUNK PIG. Going to take a long walk tomorrow and not eat or drink til next week.

            Was a good day.. Why the hell aren't kids' toys assembled anymore? Spent most of the day putting the deals together. My son is happy and that is all that matters =) Right now watching the smokey and the bandit movies and heading to bed.

              I did great, I am blessed to have everything that I have. This past year has been good to me and the next year is looking to be even brighter. I thank the universe that I have the family that I have and that I am able to make enough money to never go wanting, and I am glad to have been able to spread some Christmas cheer by buying some non-lame presents this year for the first time in a while lol.

              Kindle fire is awesome, my uncle has one of those. Bought my mom a kindle this year for xmas but the kindle fire is way cool if you are trying to do more than read a book.

                We had a good Christmas. We left town and had dinner with my in-laws and were able to visit my parents as well.

                As with GoVegan, having a good job and a roof over my head is better than any present.

                (But...a Kindle Fire is pretty cool)

                  No depression this year so it was great.

                    All in all it was very good. I'm tired now and back to work tomorrow. I had planned to take some extra time off but a bad case of whooping cough and a slip on the ice and hurt back all over the past month forced me to use up all of my sick and vacation time. I too am grateful I have a decent job in this economy. But it certainly isn't my dream job and I'm not looking forward to going in tomorrow.

                      We had a wonderful time. Our youngest is four and I used the help of her much older brothers to create a fairy-tale Christmas for her. Amazingly, it also was a sort of fairy tale for the rest of us

                      The only thing missing was a lot of snow. There is none, so instead of sledding we went to feed the swans. The beasts are bigger than my daughter and she squealed with joy when they took bread and grass and whatnot right from her hand.

                      I also finished a book on the 23-rd, so no deadline pressure either... Blessed time of the birth of our Lord... Also the papal mass started much sooner than the usual midnight, so none of the kids fell asleep

                          It was hard work. My eldest was ill, my youngest was teething. No sleep for either me or my wife meant a pretty dismal christmas day. Am guiltily looking forward to going back to work tomorrow for a break from poorly kids and a stressed wife.

                            As I grow older (lewl) .. Christmas time is nothing special anymore...

                            I'm not sure why.. had a nice nice every evening in the family.... went to visit a few places nearby...

                            Went to a restaurant.. got some nice presents...

                            Got to stay with my GF a lot.... and that sort of stuff...

                            but still something is missing

                            not sure what ;-)
