What pops into your head that you look forward to during the holidays? (If you say drinking, you have to name your poison.)

I'll start....

I look forward to Christmas Music of all kinds this time of year.

What about you?

Eggnog and brandy or Hot hard cider with peppermint schnapps - Rumplemintz, of course.

[Soryfam]

Receiving and reading lots of Christmas cards.

Definitely NOT having any xmas godawful music noises (aaarrgh) in the house.

For some reason it just doesn't work on our TV or radio. But then, neither do cricket, football, rugby, hockey, horse jumping,darts, snooker, soaps, and any dancing (other than ballet) or cookery programs. Oh - and synchronized swimming, naturally!

It's so wonderfully peaceful.

Does this mean you turn the sound off when you watch ballet?

My children on Christmas morning, the music, the lights, the Christmas story being read around the tree, being with family...I could go on and on. I love it all!

The rock concert on the evening of Dec. 26 - when all is well over, we all had a good time, and I can RELAX.

Of course it will. You wouldn't really want to settle just for today, would you?

Without tomorrow how can there be hope for today?

[S&W Winger]

Sorry, Danny...OK, OK, you could have tomorrow...I'll keep today though, 'cause that is all I have...GB could have it also...I Live in today...

I know the holiday has passed, but I still have 3 more events I;m excited for. Feb 4th will be my second wedding anniversary = day off from work. Feb 14th Valentine's day, and that means rolling around naked under the bedsheets with someone very special. And Feb 25th I'll turn 26! I still have to work, but I can be crabby to customers =)

If he's gonna make you wait that long, dump him. Come and make an ol' man happy!
