I just realized it's getting really close to Christmas and I was thinking about traditions. Every year I buy a new ornament with each of my kids and every year my husband reads The Night Before Christmas to the kids.
Do you have any?
When you live alone like I do, with no family around, I'll be honest... There are no traditions that are implemented.
Mel...sometimes some people dont actually need biological family...you make your own family. I for one have my biological family and spend holidays with them but I have also made relationships outside my family where I am accepted as family cause I care. Im invited to a few xmas dinners cause people love me...you should try it.
I actually don't mind being alone, to be quite honest. Not big on holiday "get-togethers.'
Might drive up to Okanagan to visit some family there. Ex-wife also misses me, and wants my dick, so I'll visit her too, since she's there also.
why not move on? Get a life maybe?
Works better this way. I've got a bitch that I can leave when she starts getting on my nerves.
You need to learn zen. Its not always about you
She can't find anyone better, so I guess I can't be that bad after all...
Cause you both stupid and unwilling to move in...getting older today falls back on repetative patterns...we need to learn to change.

Or, we need to learn that sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side...

Very nice. We used to collect ornaments.

Don't worry, Mel has a family of empty bottles of vodka stuck between the cushions of his couch. He celebrates with them just about every night when he adds a new addition to the family.

I go see a movie alone.
I go visit my grandmother's grave.
I pray for a quick death.

Face it Mel, your grass is fucken brown. It's like an overused pasture on a sheep farm.
I get shitfaced on barrel wash, put some moose kolbassa on the barbeque, shoot a few whisky jacks and throw it into the old lady.
Christmas Eve, my girlfriend and I crack open a bottle Shiraz, cook up a couple steaks, watch a little of Ralphie (you'll shoot your eye out kid) hit the rack and open each others Christmas presents. ac_biggrin
Christmas morn. I kick her big ass out and I visit my sister and her family. After a few hours of that, I usually get irritated enough to cut out and go the hell home for some much needed peace.
That's about it, same shit every year. I guess that's what passes for tradition with me. God it sucks. :laugh3:
Interesting traditions. :)
My wife and I make a series of short Christmas eve visits to friends and family starting at about 9 am and home by 3 pm. We go to special late afternoon service at church and then come home to fondue, shrimp, fruit, vegetables and plenty of dips.
Christmas day we cook our turkey and watch movies. We wear pajamas all day.
The best part of the holidays is time off of work. I am going to my sisters house tomorrow where her two grown kids and their families will join us. A little chardonnay tonight and early to bed.
Here's another tradition, back to work after nearly a week off. Well, not until Thursday, but the days have been going fast.
