Merry Christmas to all. How was the celebration? Did you enjoy the party? Any memorable thing happened to cherish? Did you guys spend the whole night with fun and laughter? For the past few days i was so excited that Christmas is coming but it turned out just like ordinary day for me. I ate alone a left alone at the receiving. They went to bed so early.
I hate Christmas before and i guess I'm starting to hate it again...

I am confused. What country are you in? You have just written this and here in England it is Christmas Eve so Christmas is only just beginning. I will reply later though and tell you if something great happens although hopefully I will be with my family and after loosing a brother this year I cherish the family I do have.

I made this discussion quarter to 2am, that's December 25 in our country. When i come up with this topic the celebration in our village was over so i have to call the night. Actually there is no celebration happened. I guess only few of us who lived here celebrated Cg\Christmas. Nothing really happened in my place. It was really a ordinary day for them, maybe because of the crisis we are facing now. They actually focus in New Year.

Hello. It was indeed frustrating! My partner? She spend Christmas with her diche, shoti and cousins... I guess she was busy cooking. I haven't received any SMS from her before and during Christmas eve. I guess that's one of the reasons why i feel blue at that moment. She called around 3am but we fought. hehehhe Swimming? love it. I guess you had a great time. i hope i can chit chat again with my trusted friends. I already miss them. Ei, few days to go and its your anniversary and birthday. Yippee!!

Hmmm... because i missed her badly and i haven't heard anything from her. Shes been busy with her study, even week ends she keeps reviewing her lessons. We rarely talk. She call me and send me sms sometimes but still I'm not used to it. Be with them??? Diche might get mad. Me and her sister already have arrangements. I can't visit nor see her sister if she haven't finished her coarse. once i attempted to visit her but diche reminded me of our deal
My present? not yet. I haven't framed it yet. Well, yeah. Its kinda frustrating. But, i guess your husband has a surprise for you. maybe so simple but yet something that you'll cherish forever.

I'm sorry you are lonely. My husband used to be alone for every holiday. He always ended up just going to a movie every Christmas as his family was far away. Now that he's married me though we will be staying home and watching our kids open their presents and then just hang at home. I don't like to travel all over God's creation on Christmas Day. Besides that, the Titans game is on TV! :-) Is there a friend that you could join on Christmas Day? Is your family all going in different directions? I hope that you don't get to hating Christmas again. If anything it's a special day just for the birth of Jesus Christ!

Did your kids enjoy Christmas? pretty sure they are happy with they're gifts. Titans game? What's that? Is it a league? Almost all of my friends are already working abroad. Some of them who are here are working in the hospitals and already have their own family. I'm no longer spend much time with since i finished schooling. We can't be in one group again... temptations is every where every time we bond. My dad is in New york my sisters are already married and prefer to celebrate Christmas in their place. My other sister is in other city. Well, i hope... Thanks for the concern.

I apololgize, I hadn't realized you weren't in the USA. The Titans are a football team. Our boys enjoyed Christmas. They are very spoiled. But we ended up all coming down with the stomach flu as of yesterday, so I'm thankful that they do have new toys to keep them occupied while cooped up in the home for days.

Hello simonelee. Merry Christmas to you too. Well, we just had a fun celebration of Christmas. This is my first time to celebrate Christmas with my boyfriend because we used to celebrate it with our own families in the previous years. We didn't have much food unlike other families but our stomach were really full that I could hardly breathe. We took a lot of memorable photos and we played Christmas songs. We even invited some of our neighbors to eat with us at exactly 12 midnight of December 25. But, I am a little guilty because I allowed my father to be alone celebrating his Christmas this year. Well, of course, I went to visit him for dinner but I went back home with my boyfriend after few hours. He also had some celebration, a party with his neighbors but I guess it wasn't enough. How I wish I could turn back time. But again, I am hoping that he had fun as well.

Hmm... i also did that when i was at your age. I took a trip with my ex-boyfriend and left my mom and my one year old brother. Good thing i have friends who went to our house and made my mom happy. guilt was there and due to that i avoid staying long on the phone when they called me, i almost cried but i pretend that i made the right decision. Until now, i still regret those moment i left them and prefer to spend holiday with other people. Every time i remember those days i can't help but cry and feel pain in my heart. I suggest better not to do that again because i don't want you to feel and experience the guilt I'm having until now. You will fully understand what 'm trying to say if you mature enough.

I celebrated Christmas with my mom and siblings and their families yesterday. We all ate too much and enjoyed watching the little neices and nephews open their gifts. It was fun to see everyone and be together. Tomorrow(Christmas Day) I will celebrate with my husband and children at home.

It is still Christmas Eve here for a few more hours. I enjoyed a relaxing morning at home and now I am at my mother's house babysitting her dogs while she goes to my brothers house. I was invited up, but it is a 6 hour drive one way and my kids are sick. In the morning we will be heading back home where the kids will open their presents, we will have lunch, and then probably go to the movies.

Here in Denmark we celebrate christmas on December 24th, and I had a nice party with my family. In the afternoon I went to church with my husband, my father and my grandmother. My mother and my brother were at home and we when returned from church we had our christmas dinner. We had duck, potatoes and red cabbage, and for dessert we had risalamande (a kind of rice porridge with whipped cream, vanilla and almonds) There is one whole almond in the bowl, and it is a little game. The person who finds the whole almond receives a small present. This year my grandmother found the almond and she received two small books.
After our christmas dinner we sang 3 christmas songs and opened the presents. My husband and I received many things for our pets a.o. a bed for our dog. The present from my husband was a homemade giftcard with a picture of a guineapig. My present is two guineapigs, and we are going to the pet shop together to buy them. I really look forward to that

I live in the states so we haven't celebrated yet. However, with a 3 year old girl in the house it should be alot of fun. Its wonderful to see a child opening up gifts with so much excitement. I'm so sorry that you were alone. Why were you alone? Where is your family?

Merry Christmas! My christmas was spent with family having family dinner and opening gifts. We were not complete though as some have gone to spend christmas to a different place. I look forward to christmas but the day itself is not as special as it used to be when I was a kid. I still look forward to opening gifts though.
