      It's not December 24th yet.  It's pathetic but I have a hard time conjuring up the ambition to spend a few bucks on presents.  In fact my next hub is on the very subject.

      Good to hear you have accomplished the goal!

        Star, I know this is a stretch, but there have been a few Christmases that were pretty bleak for one reason or another. One of the best ones was very, very simple, but we used the "as if" principle. We acted as if it was the best Christmas because there weren't going to be *any* gifts for anyone, so the ones we had were especially nice. We acted as if it was all a wonderful, pleasant surprise and we giggled ourselves into a wonderfully, happy day. Sending best vibes your way.

    I've got a few things bought, that I picked up through out the year, for certain people.  I do need to make a list, and see who I have something for, and who I don't.  It is high time to get things mailed out.  smile

    Usually, I enjoy Christmas shopping or making gifts.  This year, I think I am just focused on a lot of different things... plus, the kids already got their gift.

        I don't know that the joy of Christmas is lacking, so much as the commercialism of Christmas.  On facebook, I see that many of my acquaintances are using the sales to replace needed items, not splurge.  I have met so many this year that are keeping their credit cards put away.  I see that many people are less concerned with extra things this year.  I think the downturn has helped people refocus, and see what is most important to them. 

        I plan to enjoy the people I can be with, and for the first time in years, am sending out some cards.  It seems to me that those in our lives are the greatest gifts, and I intend to treat them as such.

    Shopping is done.  It's a simple Christmas, as it has been for many years.  My mom and daughter give me their wish lists, as I give them mine.  Mostly, the items on these wish lists are services to be given.  Everyone else outside this trio will get good greetings from our hearts, and also home-baked cookies.

    Christmas has been weird for me this year too. Bill is still very sick and we're struggling without his income, although I'm still getting work and he does get disability checks. I don't much care about the shopping part--our families cut way back on gifts years ago--but I don't have much money to buy him something and I'm worried about him, so it kind of casts a pale over it all.

    Still, I'm ready I guess. Not feeling it though. I should be grateful and I am, but I'm just not feeling it. Kinda down.

      Christmas when we were kids was so simple...we got good stuff and believed in Santa.  That's because our parents were taking care of us and we had our visions of sugar plums.  Now we are those parents...adults...and we are caring for others.

          I have a 4 year old I can't handle. He's too much for me. ADD and ADHD.

          My job is harder than people think. It's not just like.. sitting on my ass and listening to people. I need to find sympathy (which becomes harder and harder the longer you do this, your emotions just float away..) and I usually see myself in patients, which leads to me diagnosing myself. When I was in university, I diagnosed myself as an alcoholic and went through AA, even though I drank MAYBE three times a month. Just because my test patient was an alcoholic. This still happens to me today. I see myself in EVERY patient I talk to. Whoa. Sharing personal things with random internet people. How gay am I?

    Nah.  Neither of us celebrates Christmas in the traditional (i.e. Christian) sense, since neither of us is Christian by faith.  She's Jewish, I'm an Eckist, and Christmas is--to me--the day I have to start working up my tax bookkeeping for the year.  For Pam, it's just a day her regular TV programming is messed up.

      neither have i.  i just remember a hearing a joke about it on the critic, an animated show starring jon lovitz a while back.  when a bunch of terrorists carry all this nuclear bombs into a film studio.  one of the stage crew asks, "aren't you too heavily armed to be working here?"  then the terrorist replies, "no, we took the subway here."  then the crew guy says, "well then aren't you too LIGHTLY armed for the subway."  that's why i always assumed downtown new york was like a bad place to be.  kind of silly, huh?
