Does Our Being Former JWs Affect Our Enjoyment of XMas?

    I went to 2 parties yesterday. I actually was invited to 4 this year.

    I started out at my daughter's at 7:30 a.m. and my daughter, SIL, 2 grandkids and my ex gave presents to one another. 95% of the gifts were for my 2 year old grandaughter because it was really her first XMas to unwrap presents and get into the "spirit".

    Then I went in the afternoon to my GF's and they had a big spread and we (once again) exchanged gifts.

    Here's my bottom line: I enjoyed the family and friends getting together. I enjoyed the festivities but I was bored out of my mind.

    i had a horrible head cold. I didnt feel festive. I felt more festive when I was a witness, and my mum was here and we had nice food in :(

    I felt lonely.

    Well I went to 2 parties got really drunk, and it took me till today to recover (it felt like my brains were loose inside my head) and for my New Years resolution I'm swearing off alcohol for the rest of the year. I have already quit smoking pot and cigarettes so here's to the New Year(raises a glass of orange juice).

    CH,

    Yeah, if somebody has got a cold or is just starting to get one and your both tokin on it you know what to expect. That's one of the reason why I don't do it any more plus I just got sick of it for some reason.

    It doesn't bother me to celebrate xmas. I love doing everything the WTS told us NOT to do.

    That's why I should start celebrating Festivus: a festival for the rest of us!
