Thanks for all the responses.
Beardsmith, sorry to hear about your separation. Hopefully this year a family party will be good.
Mahstah, enjoy your time!
Riljek, no one cares for your lowered or nonexistant immune system?
Snaso-naso, not fun. Try to stay strong?
As for myself, we spent last Christmas with a young couple who we met on our trip to North Cyprus, and invited them to stay since they had a nine hour drive home in the freezing weather. My mother and I had gone on the trip since she didn't want to stay at home for Christmas, as my father had died suddenly earlier in the year. So we made new friends and had some nontraditional food, seeing how all the stores had closed early.
If there is a thread, I'll post in it. If I post in it, it will die. That is the cycle of the Walrus.
When people see me lurkin', they go pomgwtfnoesbbq and guestify. Are you a pretty little guest now too?
