it looked so drab here, yesterday, and i was thinking, "gee, i hope it snows so we can have a white christmas.".

well, when i woke up this morning, it was snowing!!.

i've celebrated christmas for several years, now, but i was always in warm weather climates.

We were blanketed with snow for the past couple of weeks and now it is raining and the snow is almost gone!

friends

all are welcome to attend philly phest (apostafest) brunch on sunday, january 11.

this will be the 2nd phest in the last three years.

if you missed the first one, then you missed meeting flower and her son jaden, badwillie and mrs. badwillie, and yours truly.

GET OUT!!! We were going to try to see him Friday! Are you sure you will be going Saturday? Maybe I can talk the family into going Saturday.

Probably won't be able to make it for the brunch, though.

Holidays are a hard time for some...

by Billygoat in

i really try hard every year to keep christmas in perspective.

the tree is lovely, the smells of good food are yummy, presents are great to give and receive, but i really try to remember that it is a time of celebration and family.

it is a time for me to celebrate the birth of my friend jesus christ.

Christmas is hard for me as well. I love it for all the reasons you mentioned. But, it is also a melancholy time because for one thing my Mom's birthday would gave been Dec. 1st and for another, it was the BIG time of year when she and my little brother & their pug, would always come down from Philly and spend time with us. I just miss that so much!! (Mom died in 1994 at the young age of 48.)

We'd go to church Christmas Eve, come back and "pig out" on munchies while listening to xmas music or watching some xmas tv program and finish decorating the tree. Then, the next day, we'd all gather round the tree and open our presents one at at a time-thereby prolonging the event and savoring every moment together. More than one time, we'd get snowed in!

Now, hopefully, I am creating some precious memories with my daughter. They are just as special to me. But, the daughter in me wants time with Mom, the way it used to be only better-'cause now she'd have grandchildren to share them with.

Mushy Christmas sentiments as well,

We gave them our letters of DA

by Redneckgurl in

well, i guess it will be official very soon, the announcement will be read and we will be "lost" into satan's world... my husband gave our letters to the elder who came to visit us with his wife the other day.

this is the 3rd time they came by in the last month, even after he told them he would call them if we wanted to "talk".

they saw the christmas tree shining through the door, brightly lit, so there could be no question that we had already taken some steps away.......but he still stayed for an hour trying to convince my husband that it was the "truth".. later that day my parents came over (i wasn't here) and he said my mom just looked at our christmas decorations with jealousy in her eyes.

I am a CRACK ADDICT

by Funchback in

it's an addiction that i have tried to stop since i was a young boy.

my friends and loved ones have tried to encourage me to quit, but i just can't.

when i used to attend meetings, i would feed my addiction right there in the kingdom hall.

Nikita

I have popped my knuckles since I was little that is NOT true that they get larger. mine are the same size as when I was a teenager

Sheila, I think you must be in denial. Just kidding! It really didn't help me any that I stopped 'cause mine aren't that attractive anyway!

The coldness of Watchtowerism thread

by Brummie in

when my dad died on november 9th none of my jw family turned to comfort my mother, no phone calls no cards no words of comfort.

its over a month now and still they havent made any contact.

it doesnt really matter since they are all jws on my moms side but dads side of the family are catholic so they were all there to give the strength needed to cope.

Nikita

Brummie & Mom That's heartbreaking to read!
