I’ve had a hard time getting in the christmas spirit this year. When money is tight, it’s so hard to find gifts for people and that makes shopping a chore, instead of the fun it should be.
But yesterday, I found an affordable hummingbird feeder and bought that for my grandchildren and that cheered me right up. I hope to witness their little faces when they see the first hummingbird come to feed.
So anyway I want to wish you all a very merry holiday. May you have much to bring you cheer.
Merry Christmas, Dopers! Wherever you may be, in whatever situation you may find yourself, I hope you have a good Christmas Day.
not what you’d expect, may your Christmas Day be filled with joy and happiness. May you hold your kiddos in your arms, may you get more hugs-n-kisses from them than you could ever dream of, and may you experience true peace today.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Merriest of Christmas’s to all of you and yours!
Merry Christmas! Christmas night over here, about 9pm. Not a public holiday in Buddhist Thailand but it does feel festive, as there are lights up everywhere for New Year’s, which is the big gift-giving holiday here.
May the sense of joy and wonder of Christmas be yours; today and all through the year.
Merry Christmas to all! May everyone know peace and happiness.
Merry Christmas you guys!
I tend to be a pretty cynical person but all the joy and warmth I have been seeing around me this holiday has got me smiling so I wanted to share some of that with you. Hope you all have a joyous and fun Holiday Season.
Merry Christmas! Here’s hoping everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
Merry Christmas everyone. Have a happy and safe holiday season.
Merry Christmas all!
Merry Christmas to all my Doper chums.
A friend of mine is back home from the hospital (a three-day stay extended to six weeks after unexpected complications and a postoperative infection); I saw him yesterday and he was happy, which made me happy.
Just unwrapped presents with Mrs. Heir and our three sons - played a Christmas card game - listened to the Boston Pops Christmas album - warmed ourselves by the fire. Yuletide feast later. Life is good.
Joining the carol singers: Merry Christmas, Dopers All!
Merry Christmas, everyone! May the yuletide bring, yada-yada, peace and goodwill and all that stuff. Hope everyone has a warm place and a smile today!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Delightful Human Light, Rockin’ Festivus to all of you! Even this cynical old atheist appreciates a day to share with our families and loved ones, to be nice to strangers just because, to smile at children.
not what you’d expect, don’t worry about how much you could or could not spend. The delight on the kinder’s faces when they see that first hummingbird is the Christmas gift you gave.
Whatever your holiday may be, Doper brethren, take peace from it. And BTW, a two-hour nap on Xmas morn is Santa’s best gift.
Hear, hear! I’m 54 and it worked on me this past spring when one of the little demons was hovering a foot from my face. Wow!
Happy holidays filled with warmth and good cheer! Peace, health, joy to all.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday!
Merry Xmas, dopers! Off to have an xmas dinner with family. Hope everyone is having a good one.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
It’s been a good Christmas day - today we had a family reunion of all five siblings with our spouses, our mother, and all eleven of her grandchildren, come together from Texas and California and Denmark. One of the grandchildren, from Austin, Texas, arrived late last night and then just now she departed to return back home. She flies out tonight because she has to work tomorrow. She was only here for about 16 hours.
