Thinking

It's my mother's favorite Christmas move Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Ok I to usualy watch something, like Star Wars or some other stuff which takes days to watch.

Last year watched the second season of Mad Men.

Guess there is no such thing as "christmasy" since everyone defines it for themselves.

I hold each one under myself... this isn't a cat in a bag situation here. It is pretty satisfying.

Watching every version of Scrooge. So far I have seen Scrooged and a Muppet Christmas Carol. The Jim Carey version is next.

I'm sure my in-laws would love it if I brought a sack full of puppies to strangle during Christmas dinner. That would go over really well. I could pass them out like bubble wrap Big Grin

I don't cope... I'm a stressed-out nervous wreck.

Life goes on regardless.

You could pass out animal crackers and sit and cackle maniacally.

In all serious, I'd try and keep myself removed from real issues and focus on making my brood happy (as I'm sure your kids will pick up on the tension).


I like the book idea. Buy yourself all 14 of The Dresden Files novels. It will take up much of your time.
