Hello friends how's your Christmas preparation? Are you happy this coming Christmas? I was so curious because I cannot feel the happiness this coming season. I'm sad. Because I know it to myself due to some troubles that I've got I mean not fight but problems that I was newly encounter this days. You know friends I was praying to God to Bless my children I love them all. It was fine with me if I don't have anything but the most important is my kids to have all their needs. Not so much in material things but for them to be happy in a simple way of living. Friends how about you do feel like what I feel? I addressed it to the parents my lotters friends. Yes any body can. Hope the happiness in your life this coming holiday friends!!!!

hi mods...well first of all I hope things would be better for you. Just remember, God won't give you problems that you can't handle. As for me, uhm, I can't really feel the Christmas season at home...cause we don't really have any decorations up. No tree. Nothing. lol. But! I am really really excited for Christmas. Cause were gonna be going home to my hometown to visit my relatives. I'm so excited to see them! That's what cheers me up this season. ^_^

Me and my fiancee who is a single mother of 4 children. Anyway the is working already and earning their own money. We want to see the other two happy this Christmas. My fiancee is getting to be upset also. Cause she wanted to give them a nice gift. She's trying to hard mods. I see her lately really depressed. Trying to produce money for them. Business here business there. But her sister is getting sick and help her sister also. Now she is trying to be strong, she was telling me God will make a way to end both meet. Life is not easy but we do have to face it. His best friend and some other friends she have will cook pot luck and they are planning already to have games for all the children in the village rich or poor. Our pamangking that what they call the daughters of my fiancee for sure will make the two happy.But she has one wish and praying for she wants to see her eldest daughter richie, she doesn't know how her mom miss her very much and love her very much. We all miss her it's not the gift that counts a lot not the material things it's ritchie. She will be the best gift for all of us this Christmas. God will provide. God be with us! God will make a way!God bless! Advance Merry Christmas to you and you children mods.

What really the parents are love their childrn doing lot of things to give them what they need material and love. Yes I know and hoping for all God's help in every thing that we need in life and the most important with us is happiness inside more than anything. I know everybody like this. Thanks to you friend and happy holiday too! Wishing you happy christmas!

christmas is not about us, it is about the birth of the son of God. we should be happy whether we have a lot of problems. i am happy every christmas (well except when i was in my teens years for my dad left my mom and lived with another woman). now christmas is more special for i have a two year old son. even we dont have that big budget we are going to havea wonderful christmas. keep your spirits high.

I'm sorry you have trouble which will stop you enjoying your Christmas, mods. I hope things improve for you soon. I used to love Christmas when our four children were little - it was lots of fun - but it got more complicated when the children grew up and some got married and had other family responsibilities. These days it's very stressful and a bit of a worry. I am happy, though.

en,I alway in a upset state in this year and have no reason, so I think this coming Christmas is very hard for me. Sometimes, I think I loss chance, sometimes, I think I am not work hard. But I was work hard indeed, and not have what I have deserved. Maybe is the destiny makes fun of me.I work hard but not a chance. so this coming Chirstmas will impress for me.

I usually start felling down a bit this time of year. I guess it is the though that my own kids will never experience the type of holidays that I did as a kid. I want to gather with family and friends to celebrate but everyone is always so busy. I want the true meaning of the holiday to be the focus rather than what gift can we get everyone. I love to shop for my kids but want them to know the value of a dollar and the meaning of family rather than just greediness. So, no I'm not feeling excitement yet.

Hi mods. Yes this Christmas will be not the same for many people around the world. For me I always feel some sadness in Christmas thinking about some things. I always worried about the future of my daughter but this year it is worse because the crisis around the world. How will be her future if all the things become worses? Yes you are right, when we have children we are worried about them all the time. But I believe that God will take care about all of us. Have a nice day.

Hello, I hope that you do have a good christmas , and can enjoy the company of loved ones , and that is what i am looking forward too . I am not in the spirit at all , and this is the first time in years . I am so late on everything , and even decorating the house , and for the past 2 weeks have been doing little and little . The holidays just seem to roll by this year for me , and it is a harder year and that has lots to do with it, but i do have my happy moments when a good xmas song is on or something .

This will be the sexond holiday season in my entire life that I have had to spend away from my parents and brothers. This is really hard for me. I am trying to make the best of the situation, but as the Christmas holiday draws nearer, I am finding myself more depressed. I cannot get my kids the things they really want, my family is far away, and my husband keeps complaining because I feel that my kids deserve a decent Christmas. I have had to buy most things second-hand, which is fine, I long ago taught my kids that Santa often gives children used toys because he takes old toys and finds them new homes, but with my husband complaining that I want to even do that much gets to me. Trying to even buy second-hand gifts, while doing our best to stay caught up on the bills, is stressful for me, as well as many other people this time of year. I know I should be thankful for what I have and that I am not as bad off as many are, but I am really finding myself feeling down this year.
