Family Christmas party the 17th. The 25th we stay home(me, the missus and daughters) and exchange gifts. From then on it Christmas Story repeated on the boob tube all day, ham for dinner and simply just enjoying the day.

Small family gathering at home on the 24th and a larger one on the 25th at my sister in-law's place. Too many old people now.

Kind of puts things Chrismas-wise into perspective.

This is really a very sad story and yet it's great that Eric Schmitt-Matzen felt it was important enough to rush to the hospital and the young boy's side. I did story a year ago about a gentleman who dressed up as batman to visit very ill children. This gentleman passed away in a car accident on the way home from the hospital after visiting a very ill child.


Thanks for posting the story.

I'm glad most will spend the holidays with family and friends and to that end, I hope everyone has a great day. I will have the chance to see people I rarely get to see and so will just enjoy seeing everyone.

Surviving and paying bills is far more important to me than spending money I don't have on this commercial dribble, debt is a real thing and not something that comes out a cracker.

Christmas is not supposed to be commercial and spending. Man has made it that way. St Nicholas as I'm told. Christmas has become over-commercialized.

And it has lost that true meaning for some. Some do not have a clue at all but run up the credit card anyway because it's "Christmas".

Yes, my family has been doing the no gift Christmas thing for several years now. We enjoy Christmas much more when it's about getting family together and celebrating being on the green side of the grass together!

Dear Neal
I am glad you are going to have a nice christmas with your family. I have a small family here in California and some more relatives in Georgia but both side of the family get together with our local relations. We may be far away from our family but we will be close in our hearts.

I WANT TO WISH ALL SUBSIMMERS MERRY CHRISTMAS or for our members overseas HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Agreed. Christmas is only commercial if you make it that way. So make it a time of friendship, good cheer, fellowship, and pleasant times.

Oh, and good food
