Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ so what's with this
'merry' crap?

The Online dictionary definition:

mer·ry
adj. mer·ri·er, mer·ri·est
1. Full of high-spirited gaiety; jolly. 2. Marked by or offering fun
and gaiety; festive: a merry evening. 3. Archaic Delightful;
entertaining.
4. Brisk: a merry pace.


It seems to me this 'merry' Christmas crap is just another way for
non-believers to take over and marginalize the true meaning of
Christmas. It seems to me Christ's birth should be celebrated with
solemn thanks to our Lord for giving his only begotten son that those
who believe in Him may have everlasting life.

Getting drunk on spirits and getting bloated on too much food is
debauchery. Is it proper to gives thanks to the Lord's ultimate
sacrifice by engaging in sinful behavior? Making Christmas all about
human vices seems to me to be very antithetical, blasphemous and sinful
and no way to get to Heaven.



You just HATE Christmas.

Heh. I'm actually enjoying being alone today as I just spent the entire
weekend with 20 of my family. We ate, opened gifts, talked, drank a lot
of wine and enjoyed one another's company. It was a special weekend as
our son and his wife and daughters drove all the way from Reno, Nevada to
spend the weekend with us. We had a wonderful time. Sorry you didn't.

hard to be lonely in a small crowd of 20. i'm glad you had a good time.
my sister and her husband and youngest came up from the ozarks to spend
the week, and we had 24 at christmas dinner, only 17 at christmas eve
dinner.

Drat! And here I thought I'd had a lot of people for dinner. We seem to
have the same ideas though. :-)

we were fewer this year. my brother joe didn't fly in from los angeles,
my sister becky and her husband were on vacation in south america, and
my brother ray didn't show up, prolly mad at somebody. he usually is. i
think our record one year was 30.

Amazing!

i prefer the independance day party, which is "mine". [we split up the
different holidays.] if people get rowdy, we kick them outside. it's a
bit cold to do that this time of year.

Indeed it is, even here. We managed though without any rowdiness this
year.

so did we, for the most part. on wednesday before christmas we got it
out of our systems with a sledding party. only one sledding accident
[me]

Hope you're okay. :-(

and one rollaround fight [2 nephews]. not bad.

Not bad at all. We sent the 3 teenagers off to walk the dogs on Saturday
while the turkey was cooking. We sent the younger 4 off to the
playground with a several aunts and uncles. The 2 month old, of course,
stayed home and did nothing but eat and sleep. The rest of us napped or
visited while I got the turkey cooked. I had everything on the table by
six pm and a hearty time was had by all.

just a filling knocked loose, and a few bumps and bruises. dangers of
being near a bunch of little boys who can't really steer yet.

Hehehehehe. I've been there myself. My husband calls me the
"daredevil", aptly named I think.

i'm okay

My best friend (who also happens to be my second son's mother-in-law;
long story), has decided that I'm the hostess of the year. :-)
