    i especially like the way that pine needles embed themselves into the carpet. it's like the spirit of christmas lasts forever in the berber. or in my foot.

    When I was younger. My parents built this new house that had gorgeous cathedral ceilings. My Dad brought home a 13 foot Chistmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. It was in the corner with the heaters underneathe it. By Christmas morning we had thousands of pine needles all over the gifts. You could here "ping, ping". Needles dropped like crazy. lol :p

    We get a lot for free with my husband's job. It has been a blessing for us.

    I made jewelry one year. I had a great time.

    the only thing i can think that i dislike now is that i used be a bit of a scrooge myself, which is kinda fucked up considering the luxurious life i have been blessed with as an only child. but now i really can't think about anything going wrong with christmas, its the perfect holiday really, i think it should be a monthly , maybe even weekly, hell maybe even daily thing to stop and appreciate each other...

    it's true


    I wouldn't want to have Christmas more than once a year, because then it wouldn't be as special :) People could still appreciate each other though

    Elmo's Christmas:
    He wished Christmas to be everyday. It was for 180 days. Everyone was miserable. :rolleyes:





    If you do not know who Elmo is he is a furry red character on a children's tv show. His fish's name is Dorthy.
