    The best gift is spending extra time with the family.

    I'm not religious but my husband was raised catholic. So we're having lasagna for Xmas! :)
    No gifts. Just food and booze.

    Y'all enjoy the Holidays, whichever one you celebrate!

    You wrote it right... now I know it...
    I used to spend Christmas with my parents till I was 19 or so when I left their home... then I would always work my but off till evening of Christmas eve selling art-craft on the streets in Rio and then would go home (my own home) and sleep till noon of Christmas day and then would call my parents to wish them a happy Christmas day...
    Then, I came to the USA about 27 yrs ago and my ex-husband and I didn't care much about Christmas celebrations and gifts.. as we were always working hard and none of us had any family...
    Since I divorced over 15 yrs ago I don't spend Christmas with anybody... always trucking on the road...
    2006 was the last Christmas I spent with my mom... in bed with her at the hospital... dad went home cause he wasn't allowed in the room.... she was very ill and died 5 months after that when I was already back in the USA.
    I was planning staying with dad at the end of this year... but unfortunately he passed away last September in front of my eyes here in Brasil...
    This Christmas, I will stay in this hotel apartment.... quiet... Would like to go to a church in the evening.. but don't think there will be any open...
    Sorry for the long posting.. I wanted to vent....

    One reason I agreed to usher duty at my church is as a penance of sorts. If they knew my past they’d want me burned at the stake.
