I love snow and hot toddys at holiday time. I bake cookies galore for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. My specialty is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip. But those are Christmas only. We have so many holiday traditions. Christmas eve at my brothers house, Chicken soup and Clam Chowder in bread bowls. Then midnight mass(yes, I am catholic). The UM carried the baby Jesus up last year. Then up early for Santa presents even though we don't get to bed til 3 am. Everybody to my house for turkey and the fixings. Present time then pie time. Mom makes the most awesome sweet potato pie. I can't wait, I am so ready for it, but not yet, need to buy pressies.

Hmmmmm.... I'd like to have a new saddle but I'll prolly get that before Christmas. [;)] Can't really think of anything else right now. I really love the holidays as well, the baking, the making, decorating and good times. I work myself to a frazzle and always fuss and swear I'm not going to do it again but I always do. I'm addicted. I come up with things throughout the year I want to get other people but I don't write it down and by Christmas I can't think of a thing to get them.

KMsAngel -> RE: 101 days and counting (9/14/2007 2:53:01 PM)
sigh. i miss the cold weather that y'all get so i can bake and really enjoy it. i always have to plot - mix during the day, bake late at night. takes a bit of the fun out of it. double sigh. my primary baking partner (oldest um) is moving up north in one direction, and i'm moving in the opposite direction. first time she won't be with me at Christmas. [:(] um, isn't the frazzle and fuss and swearing not only part of the season, but an integral part of the addiction?? [:o] the antidote is the bikkies!!

[;)] is your equine of the human or 4 legged variety? i really want a single tail (i am thinking a 4 foot signal whip - black and purple nylon would be perfect) just for use on me...a girl really needs her own toy bag...and single tails are my most favorite toy...and probably the most expensive to get a good one...everything else i can think of that i would want can be sanitized....oh and boots...i want a pair of Wescos...but they are even more expensive than a good single tail....

MistressDiane -> RE: 101 days and counting (9/14/2007 3:51:42 PM)
I need a lighter 4 legged critter saddle. The one I ride in now is just getting too heavy to lug around. Thankfully they make the 2 legged critter ones pretty light already!

quote: ORIGINAL: KMsAngel You know it had to start sometime, I'm just giving you all a target to aim at. There's only 134 days and counting (Australian time) to Christmas! What are you hoping Santa and his sexy elves will be leaving under your tree? Howdy, all! Hmm, let's see... a good internet connection and a new compy would be nice... a job, sheesh!... new furniture for my apartment, esp a new couch (yikes!)... a new wardrobe would be cool, too... dream

Kitten this countdown is depressing,the big build up and the after Christmas blues hit.I am the type that just grabs presents and shred them ripping the guts out is what I call it now Diane loves for everyone to sit around as she passes out gifts one by one...Whats on my Christmas list....Thats a secret between the ol' fat man and myself...smiles....bounty

KMsAngel -> RE: 134 days and counting (9/14/2007 6:19:02 PM)
depressing? ah, Bounty, don't be that way. for some of us, the anticipation is half the fun. i'm with Diane. extends the anticipation even more! this one will be sad in a way, my eldest um won't be with me. sigh. life goes on tho.

BOUNTYHUNTER -> RE: 134 days and counting (9/15/2007 7:51:58 AM)
Sub drop, DOM drop and CHRISTMAS DROP.which is the worst?.....I hate the anticipation because I can't keep a secret,Hate to tell you how many times I have had to re shop because I just couldn't wait to show her what I bought her...I am the type that finds great joy in the eyes of those I love when they open that package smile..bounty

KMsAngel -> RE: 134 days and counting (9/15/2007 8:13:18 AM)
lol, u know you COULD just leave the pressie at the shops til just before christmas, right?? or at someone else's house so you're not tempted to show her?? sigh. how come i never found someone (other than my kids) who got great joy out of seeing MY joy at presents?

KMsAngel -> RE: 99 days and counting (9/16/2007 5:34:29 PM)

I could kitten but that would spoil my fun,She did get me once,this special knife I want for so long the brat and my brother wrapped up a dinner knife and watched with glee as I riped her open to find the dinner knife .After a long laughter at my expense they finally gave it to me....bounty

KMsAngel -> RE: 134 days and counting (9/16/2007 5:56:52 PM)

You know that this holiday is not one of my favorites. It's possibly the worst time of the year for me.

KMsAngel -> RE: 85 days and counting (10/2/2007 6:05:19 PM)
no, i'm not sadistic, i wouldn't inflict the holidays on you if they're so painful. unless you like pain. then i think we might have to get donna or insty on you. would that change your mind on the holidays if you could spend them with insty?? or go back to the pagan beginnings of them. where they were more to do with cycles and rather more meaningful to many people.

sappatoti -> RE: 85 days and counting (10/2/2007 6:26:46 PM)
I'm not opposed to the basic meaning of the holiday. I get that. What I don't get is the obsessions and stress that people subject themselves to... the constant perfectionism... It's not a once in a lifetime event. It happens every year. Yet, people become all stressed out with it to the point where they make themselves miserable. Sorry, but I just don't get it.

KMsAngel -> RE: 85 days and counting (10/2/2007 6:31:10 PM)
imagine the riot that would be the scene if we magically got the arghanites and assorted others involved in a christmas/yule day/weekend. wow. that would just give a whole new meaning to giving, taking, gifts, food, etc etc.

sappatoti -> RE: 85 days and counting (10/2/2007 6:33:36 PM)
Well, you'd be going about it without me... and I wish you the best.

KMsAngel -> RE: 85 days and counting (10/2/2007 6:33:43 PM)
and cause you asked so nicely - you obviously hang out with the wrong people! get with it sappa!!
