Thanks for your support, I guess I got a little pissy with Thomas. Too many years of keeping quiet I guess.
The hat is always close by, and the naked head is getting more naked every year, sadly. But I'm sure in the "new system" it will grow back out thicker than ever and down to my back, right? Right????
The tree was fun to do and it was sort of a last minute thing. It's a spruce tree that got knocked over by a dead oak tree. So I flopped off the top and brought it inside. The rest of that tree will keep me warm for awhile.
*whew* LB.. boy you are gorgeous!!! And your wife aint too bad either...
I wish I could put up my pics of our first Christmas tree. But I dont have a scanner.
LB, out of everyone here I can relate to you the most, I think. I too 'faded' away, and enjoyed my first holiday this past Christmas (except for Halloween, which I half-heartedly agreed to take my son trick or treating at the mall). Isnt it a wonderful feeling? Even though it was fun, I kept getting feelings of guilt that would stab me once in awhile. Guess since I didnt celebrate for 28 years, it might take some time to get used to it?
Like I told my hubby.. I spent my life not feeling 'normal'.. and it feels DAMN good now!!!!!
Love, Tera

Tera we had only given up Christmas for a few years. But it sure did feel good to celebrate it again. To be honest there aren't any guilt feelings at all. I felt no more a pagan than any witness should when they put on a wedding ring.
