My ISP gave me the problem of selective browsing for few weeks. Unfortunately, mylot was among those websites that I could not reach. But thank God, finally... my ISP has solved the problem so I can visit myLot now. I've been so busy preparing and attending Christmas parties here and there. Yesterday, I hosted a Christmas party at home for the Teens Group of my Outreach Ministry. So I had to cook and prepare gifts for them. It was tiring, but I love what I was doing. It was lots of fun and surprises for everyone who attended. I enjoyed the night with these young people and I look forward to celebrating another Christmas party with them next year. Are Christmas parties also common in your place?

Hi! It is so good to see you here again

. No, no Christmas parties for me, just precious time with family. I am happy you had such a lovely party though.

Yes, the Christmas season is keeping us busy since December came in. I too, is busy always at work and other things such as the Christmas parties and in addition, going to the hospital when I can. But it's always nice to come back here.

December is a very busy month for us indeed but it is the happiest month as well. But no matter how busy, it is nice to visit mylot even for some few minutes.

We don't go to many, our families are not near us so we celebrate with our children at Christmas. We visit friends and are visited by friends too, but not in large groups. Nicer to see you again...

Yes, Christmas parties are very common, but for us, who are retired, we do not attend too many of them anymore.

I'm glad that your absence was due to computer problems and not health ones. Nice to see you again. The only party we are having is when the family comes to us for Christmas Day.

gosh, when the kids were small, Christmas would be the time for this carol and that carol, this performance and that performance, party here, party there etc during this time of the year. (And gifts for teachers, gifts for Kris Kringle friends...). Now that they are older, I am happy to say, just a giant family gathering to worry about... (Welcome back, I was curious when I didn't see you around for a fair time!)

Oh that sounds so much the same with me here. I host Christmas parties for kids so it makes me so tired to cook and prepare gifts for them but it makes me so happy and fulfilled. Thank you for noticing my absence.
