Do you feel like celebrating the holidays this year?
« on: December 09, 2020, 07:51:29 pm »
It’s that time of year again. But with all the things that have happened during the year, are you looking forward to celebrating the holidays?

I’m conflicted. I don’t think next year could be as bad as this one-but then...who knows.

But no. Heck no. I don’t feel like it but I’m making my self do it to feel “normal”

Tree's been up since day after T-giving, house decorated, menu written up, going to AZ to pick up our Trooper and spend a week together...

So yeah, the rest of the world can mope and find reasons not to, but we're finding "the pony in the room", grateful for what we have.

Not my bag... Last holiday for me was Sukkot... Still wavering on whether to do Hanukkah and Purim or not, so currently not... So 'the Holidays' are nonexistent for me.  :shrug:

Of course I feel like celebrating. Of course, I don't celebrate in a traditional manner anyway.

Yes this year has been a real goober and there is uncertainty about the future. But this won't be the first time or the last.

Happy and Merry to one and all!

This year has been especially hard on the older 4.
we are doing what we can to make it special for them.

Excellent and DITTO!   'Cancel culture' wants us to give up and give in.  NEVER.  Baking my yearly Christmas stuff.  Duck, red cabbage for son coming home.  Tradition.  Everything homemade.

Just can't get into the Christmas spirit as much this year for various reasons.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I find it interesting that all here indicating they intend to have a happy time of it during the holidays ahead, ALL HAVE CHILDREN IN THEIR LIFE!  Amazing how children brighten the darkest days.

I can remember coming home from work when my kids were little, and as I got out of the car in the driveway and headed to the front door of my house, my kids would come charging out of the house screaming Daddy, Daddy, and each grab a leg with nothing but pure joy of seeing me that day.  It did not matter how dark things were at work, the light they brought to my being was pure joy.

The republic is going to hell, their future is in doubt, China intends to turn the USA into a territory, we have a traitor who committed endless numbers of felonies soon to become POTUS, and there is still room for happiness in all that. 

God help us!

We will, the same way we have for years:  A nice turkey and fixings, baking a ton of cookies and fudge (that we will eat all of them ourselves), and our traditional $1,000 gift exchange.  I reach into the casino cash drawer, take out a $500 bundle and hand it to Mrs. Liberty with a "Merry Christmas, baby!"  Then she hands it back with another "Merry Christmas Baby!"  Then we take the bundle to blow at a Casino across the river. 

Since I think of it as a gift to the Casino, I guess that's actually a $1,500 gift exchange!

Oh, then we feed the cats so much food they all puke.

Yours is an interesting comment that resonated with me and I'm sure with others.  Wife and me were discussing how the Holidays would roll once our son was "out of reach" so to speak and it becomes just the two of us.  She wants to scale it back, but interestingly, before we had our son, we did the Holidays up pretty big.  Deep down, we're both kids at heart, so I'm thinking it will continue, but maybe not as "big".  There's just something about it that helps to create a reset for the coming year.
