Christmas...into it or not

i love x-mas, i'm still a kid at heart

shopping is the only thing i hate with x-mas

otherwise i love getting presents

i'm done with my shopping
the only thing i have to get is gift cards for each of my other 2 boys
just waiting for my x-mas money from work which will be enough to get a $100 for each of them, hopefully i get it soon



anyways, does everybody like x-mas or not

I dislike the commercialization of Christmas. I still think it is supposed to be a blessed and holy holiday where we get to spend time with our families. As far as gifts go, I never really care if I get something or not. I appreciate the thought, and like the gifts (usually), but I'm not there for me. I'm there for my four nieces, all seven and younger. Seeing them enjoy the "Christmas Experience" is what matters.

So, all in all, I'd say yes. I enjoy Christmas.

Dread
you're so "mushy"

when i was little, i was still living in the Philippines and Christmas was a festival to us of food and fun on Christmas day. my mom made as go to church on x-mas eve though

if my other 2 boys lived with me it will be full excitement especially when you have a 2 year old, but my little one is the only kid but he still has fun especially now, he's starting to get the packages out from under the tree

you're right Dread it is the time to enjoy family gathering when you can

I'm a soldier, Karasu. All hard and calloused on the outside, but sweet and tender on the inside. Sometimes, anyway. For my nieces, especially, though I had to threaten one of them with a spanking today. It's amazing how they snap to when "Thunder God" speaks.

I have kind of a deep voice and it projects quite well when I want it to.

Anyway, I love the little heathens to death. I'd do just about anything for them.

it's nice when they listen so u don't result to the spanking

discipline is key with little people (as i call them) otherwise u couldn't deal with them

my little one does not listen
i did not get help in the grandmother department and now she tries which is very hard to discipline now (it's frustrating)
