Mine is quite okay, fun with my officemates and happy to be spending it with the organization i am with and unlike last year which was really, well not fun at all.
As for my personal life, I can say that God is really working for my good too, I believe that he is doing something in my life right now and that He sure is making things better - not sure if this is already his gift for me. I am glad though that he is sort of making me or molding me into a better person.
How about you? How is your Christmas so far? Do you think this year is better than last year?

My year was not that good as compared to other years in my life, In this year i faced lot of trials and tribulation. I went through lot of tension and trauma my life. My GF left me, i went through failure in my career but my hope was Jesus Christ. His words were so powerful that i don't know how i was able to work on my life in such situations. Iam Glad that iam a christian and now this Christmas it is time to prepare spiritually for his coming on earth. My Goal is to just keep the commandment of Christ and get the promise of enternal life

That is true! God is indeed doing something to change us and make his presence known to us (he is not the one who caused the troubles but i think it is him that is making it all stop). I am glad that you are holding on to God's words and know always that you just have to hang in there and hang on tight. he will fulfill his promises! :D

The Christmas season is rather just here and there. Of course, I think that as it has been with every year, as it gets closer, I am rather going to really get right into the Christmas spirit and just enjoying the fun and joy that the season brings. It is December 21st, so obviously over the past week or two it has been slowly building and at the point, it is bubbling.
I think that this has been a mostly average year overall. I've had better but in fact, I have far, far worse to say the very least. There are going to be a lot of ups and downs in life with different years. Then there are going to those years where you just live and thrive and survive. I think that 2011 in retrospect seems to be one of those years.
Mine is also great and doing well.I took to listen songs and work ok with my officemates.Well,but i still need to have a good rest cause i need to reconsider my future,which city is like i can stay.LOL,Merry Christmas in advance.

I just lost my father recently. I feel so sad that I hardly feel that Christmas is coming. I try as much as I can to celebrate but I know that Christmas wont be the same without him. I know that life goes on but it is hard to accept someone losing most especially when it is someone you love. Anyway, I wish you the best of Christmas and may the spirit of the season bring you joy and happiness.

This year was always going to be much better for me than last year, because of the simple fact that I am in a much better place in my life than I was back in 2010. I split from a long term partner which put a bit of a dampener on the day last year, but now everything is alright and I am looking forward to spending a lot of time with the family who I love the most in my life. You should always be grateful for the people that you have alongside you at Christmas, because you might not always be that lucky as you are now.

better in terms of?
financially, i think it is almost the same though i had prepared the gifts late this year. the previous years, i had the gifts prepared up to 3 months earlier.
in terms of relationship, i think it is better now. there are things in life that teaches a lesson that everybody learns, so i think it is better now.

I think my Christmas is coming along quite well. Compared to the past years, I am more excited for the season. I also noticed that I am more generous lately. the
season is after all about giving and thanksgiving.

Hmmm...I don't know yet. I haven't been able to buy gifts yet for my family and friends, which means I'll have to stick out again against the Christmas rush. It's no fun.
But I do feel that I am more blessed this year compared to last year. Every Christmas and near the end of the year, I always reflect on the blessings that I have gotten for the year. I feel I got better compensation with my work and also, my financial capability is improving. My activities and hobbies too are making me grow towards a great Christmas to round up the year. Now all I have to wish for is my love life.
I really don't have a plan yet to pursue a love life. I am focusing on a lot of other things at the moment. But if this Christmas time is going to give one, then I will surely grab it.
