Plans for the Holidays?

Just wondering if anyone out there has "new" plans this year....maybe a new marriage starting new traditions, new baby, ect ect, just anyone out there doing something different this year?

I plan to go home this year...it will be the first Christmas I have gone back since I left in May 2005. I have taken 5 days off of work, basically the days that I have out of school, I took off from work and plan to head home. I am hoping that I get to spend time with my mom, 2 brothers and one of my aunts, and of course all of my neices and nephews. If I get to acheive all of that, that will be the best Christmas present ever. So right now, I am just praying that I can tie the ends together here so I can afford to go home...

Alienshadow:

I'm so sorry about your best friend.  You are right, there's nothing you could have done.  When people make that choice to end their life - I believe God loves them and welcomes his children home with open arms.  He is a loving, kind God and we just don't know how badly some people hurt inside.  I'll bet he is around you all the time and loves you very much!  I hope and pray that you find comfort in knowing that and knowing that he is with you especially when you take those private moments to remember him!

With love,
Janet

P.S.  By the way, the spaceship never showed up on Friday!  ;)

Merry Christmas to you also this time of yr brings back memories of my best friend I wish he was still here he took his life way to young. If I could go back to that night maybe things would be different but it happened so fast there was nothing I could do even if I could go back. So for a few moments this yr as always I will go to a room by myself and think of him and the good ol days He will always be missed

I said before in pm (when I was able to pm you,) I think we can be friends if we can both just let go of the past, drop it and forgive each other. We're never going to agree 100% of the time, but that doesn't mean we can't still get along some of the time.

That said, a double negative cancels out (both in math and in english) so that means you're either wearing bells on your shoes or we can make you. :P You're out numbered. Two to one.

I've been reading everyone's plans for Christmas!  I wish you all the best and lots of warmth and love!  

My brother-in-law passed away on March 6th this year and it will be my sister-in-law's first Christmas without him. She has immersed herself in making sure her mother gets that traditional German Christmas and I think it's helping her deal with her loss.  We will miss Allen, but we know he'll be with us in Spirit.

I know many people here have lost loved ones this year and are not sure if they will be with family.  Please know that you are loved and you will be in my prayers!  This is a time to really come together as a people and give of ourselves to everyone!  Try to make someone else have a great Christmas.  Even if you don't have a lot to give - maybe buy a gift from an Angel tree at Walmart or any place that has one!  I know it always brings joy to my heart to know that I can be an instrument in helping someone else have a wonderful holiday!  

I love this time of year and the love people show each other.  I know ugliness comes out when people are shopping but underneath it all I think people are generally good and want to do the right thing.  Just be kind to everyone in your path this year and watch the kindness grow throughout the world!  It only takes one person to bring peace and love to someone and they give it back to others.  Keep the kindness rolling!!!

Anyway, I know I'm rambling, but I feel so strongly that loving each other and being kind really makes a huge difference!

Lots of love to all my friends and to those who I have not met yet - Merry Christmas, Happy Hanakah, and Happy New Year!

Love,
Janet
