Do you prefer a noisy Christmas or serene calm Christmas?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 30 Nov 07

1968dawn You have my sincerest condolences - losing someone is never easy. I am a professional counselor and suggest that you talk to someone about your pain. We don't seem to be able to go on until the cup of heartache is emptied.

I was outside using the snowblower on the 6 inches of snow earlier today when my youngest grandson came outside to play in the snow. We had just bought him a new hat for the winter. It's one of those robber type or ski masks with...

1968dawn Our tradition is to have both. However, I don't care much for spiral hams (which my extended family loves) or turkey, so last year, I made a huge pork roast and several chickens. MMMMMMM good.

1968dawn I think the biggest thing that holds a marriage together is a conviction that you will stick with the marriage. My husband and I have been through tramatic births, financial stressors, addiction problems and other day-to-day troubles. Even when we have been...
