I would have to say all the ornamental trimmings and
commercialized aspects of it all..and...eggnog. Its seasonal and i rather
not make it myself.
PS, your stetson is rather funky, not to mention yer man.
I like your trimmings | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 2:59:10 PM | Someone in my family gifting me with Purdy's milk chocs in nut and carmels mmmm and heading over to my aunt's house in Victoria. Those childhood memories i've held onto and brought with me into adulthood :)
I do admit Christmas isn't as special to me if there aren't small children around to believe in Santa and get all worked up about presents and snow.  | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 6:10:11 PM | BehindTheScenes (Msg 15) The two of us have had a very similar year this year and I think because of that we share a very similar view on an answer to this particular thread.
This year has been a harsh one for me to say the least. And Christmas will not be the same ever again without my Dad who passed away in the Summer. But with that being said, my brother and his wife had a beautiful baby girl at the end of this Summer. A loved one lost, but never forgotten has been a hard one, that's for sure, but a newborn into this world is also something to be happy and thankful for.
And just like last year there is still an op for some snow to be either around or falling on Christmas. Vancouver is more known for Green Christmas's But it would be awesome if it could be white somewhere during the 12 days of this coming holiday season.
Last but not least, I love seeing some of the older Christmas Cartoons from the 60's and early 70's, combined with "the fire place scene" on channel 2 works for me as well. Just my opinion.
And I can forget to mention that I couldn't go through the season without spending some time with my fav peeps here in the pond at a Dec./Christmas POF Event. I look forward to them every year, all year.

Some things die
Some things grow
The cycle of life. | |
