MamaT Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks :glare:. I hate Christmas. Me too. I know it's horrible, but it is so much extra work on top of my already busy life. It also brings up uncomfortable extended family issues. My bff calls me The Grinch and buys me Grinch-related gifts at Christmas. She has a tree in every room. <shivers> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2Ride Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I love it! I love the extra service we give to others, pouring over ideas for gifts to make, singing carols and hymns that we don't use all year, decorations, getting my little bits of shopping done early (way less stress), decorating our tree, making cookies to share, big dinners made, oh the pies and cakes and more pies! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I love Christmas, but I hate the extra work it entails. Plus, this year, we're probably going to have to find a way to tell SIL that her dog is not welcome here :glare: Because apparently she just brings it along wherever now without asking. I'm due right after Christmas. Gotta try to get my shopping and wrapping done early this year. Amazon gift wraps, right?

lynn Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I told dh he had 6 months for find dd a pw50 motorcycle and have it painted pink.

TravelingChris Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Which just reminds me that number two child has a birthday in less than 2 months and I need to starting looking for her present. I know what we are getting her- a sewing machine and some quilting supplies like a big cutting mat, big ruler, and rotary cutter. NOw I have to be paying attention to sales. (This is my college going daughter who has had a very hard time with a as yet undiagnosed serious illness. She will be returning to college in late August but without her car since she is still both fully fainting (rarely) and becoming weak and paralyzed (more frequentlY) - the difference with these is in fainting she has no idea what is going on and in collapsing, she is conscience but cannot move.)

Alte Veste Academy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!! :D I'm excited about celebrating Christmas as an entire season this year.

catz Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I walked past a Hallmark store last week putting up their holiday stuff. :001_huh::ack2: My daughter got all giddy. Not a huge fan here. So much work and way too much family drama. My mother completely lost it last Christmas because we didn't bend over backwards enough for her (on the other hand, my brother and his family are never asked to bend over backwards). Can someone just post a heads up when we're getting close to the holiday ordering deadline at Amazon!? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I love Christmas in its proper place and season, but June is not it. Just as I don't dream of warm summer days, parades, fireworks, and fireflies in December, I don't dream of Christmas in the summer. In fact, thinking of Christmas in the summer goes against my religious beliefs. :D :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE Christmas. Everything about it. I spend August/September planning - making my list of people, start looking for gifts, get my address list up to date, get the kids' pictures taken for cards. In October/November, I plan my menu - including the shopping lists and a "countdown." I then spend December pre-cooking a lot of the food and freezing it. Then, when Christmas actually rolls around, we are able to fully enjoy our company! (We have anywhere from 12 - 22 people staying at our house every year!!!)
