Have to be :

*Master home with me and safe again;
*my daughter and granddaughter sharing Christmas dinner with us instead of sweating it out in Oz;
*and answers to the couple of questions I can't get out of my head but know are likely to remain unanswered.

Bah humbug.

I don't really like holidays, cause I just live with my dad, and extended family is too far away to visit. So yeah. Holidays are pretty boring around here, since it's just me and him, and we see each other all the time otherwise, but we don't really have very much to say to each other. But when we do, we have time for conversation =)

My favorite Holiday Desert is Pumpkin Pie.
Holiday Tradition? I don't have one Maybe taking a nap with the kitty?
Holiday Song : Jingle Bell Rock
Holiday Dinner : Hamburgers on Thanksgiving It feels so good not to conform

And three things for Xmas that would make me happy?

1) Going to see Wicked on Broadway, with Idina there
2) Feeling loved by my mother and having an actual mother.
3) Having my cat turn into a person =)

And I know whose yard that'll be in.

 

[Desdemona]

I forgot the 3 gifts

1. A place of my own. (actually, this will probably happen after Christmas)

2. Surround myself with friends and loved ones on a regular basis.

3. A spanking... actually, I want more than that, but what's a girl to do? LOL

Hey Nav, I don't think I have enough mingos to go with the sleigh. Besides, it wouldn't be Christmas at Lit if I didn't post pics of flamingos dressed in holiday finery.

 

[RJMasters]

Tradition...making christmas ornamates with my girls out of popcorn...i.e. popcorn balls and popcorn string.

Dinner - A good time to share at a sit down meal.

Dessert - Warm cinaminin(sp) eggnog everything.

If you could pick three things to get for christmas that would make you happy and you really, really want, what would they be?

1. Door-to-door Christmas carolling. I love the randomness, the lack of normal yearly inhibition, the music, the "together."
2. Anything with nog.
3. "Silent Night" always makes me cry when we're holding candles. Other than that, I love listening to or singing "Gesu Bambino" and "O Holy Night." Not much for the jingles...just an aesthetic thing.
4. Nog. I'm easy.
5. Charlie Brown...just for the Snoopy Dance, really. Well, and the songs.
6. The tree, especially if it's real pine. The first time we light it up and everyone is standing or sitting around together and peace just settles over the room and it feels like home....that's Christmas.

The main one is being with my family. I miss them immeasurably. Other than that, if we're being implausible, a car and a scholarship back into college. For having made a 3 page Christmas suggestion list for T, I sure don't feel like I have a lot of material desires. All kind of pales in comparison, ya know?

Now i wanna go to Quints house for christmas

 

[Netzach]

1. saving cats from the tree
2. this one middle eastern place, owned by Palestinians, crowded with Palestinians, Yemenis, Iraquis and Jews every 25th. Peace on Earth.
3.The coventry carol. Creepy yet makes me weepy.
4. Candy canes
5. Olive the other Reindeer
3. whatever the cats don't choke on

1. My slave with us after new year's.
2. Fuck all this immaterial bullshit - I want latex catsuits for M and me with 3 way zips so we can do the rubbery nasty
3. uneventful safe flights to/from the east coast all year

3 things: New leather English riding boots, the new puppy that I'm not getting till January unfortunately, and being all moved in to the new house.. it's so close to being done that it's making me crazy having to wait.

1. Holiday tradition: After dinner the extended family gets together at my aunt's house. We eat some more, we laugh some more, we fight some more. And usually the men are in the dining room drinking and the women are around the kitchen eating desserts and having 5 conversations at once.
2. Holiday dinner: Pasta of course
3. Holiday song: Not a holiday song but I love Ave Maria
4. Holiday dessert: Cheesecake
5. Holiday cartoon: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
and
6. Holiday decoration: I love driving in various neighbourhoods and look at other peoples decorations (the only time of the year where it is legal to "lurk" and be a "peeping tom").

If you could pick three things to get for christmas that would make you happy and you really, really want, what would they be?
1. Someone to love
2. Someone I love to kiss on New's Years Eve
3. Having this someone all year to wake up next to.

But of course.

Ok, mine:

1. Holiday tradition- Sort of a new tradtion in our home is that I make a big, decidedly unhealthy breakfast after the presents are opened. Then we all sleep it off before going to the in-laws.

2. Holiday dinner- mom usually makes some beef roast with yorkshire pudding (yum).

3. Holiday song- I like a lot of church hymns actually, mostly because hubby and I like to trade off picking out the harmonies and singing the descants. Other then that, "I'll be home for Christmas."
4. Holiday dessert- Mom's shortbread cookies
5. Holiday cartoon - Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!
and
6. Holiday decoration - I like those single white candles people put in their windows.
7. Movie - A Christmas Story (You'll shoot your eye out, kid).

If you could pick three things to get for christmas that would make you happy and you really, really want, what would they be?

1. This comes as a surprise to no one, I'm sure, but I want to be able to stay home with my kids for another year.
2. I want to be a better mother.
3. I don't know that it will make me happier, but I want hubby to stick with the therapy, and just see where it takes us.

I'm not a big fan of christmas. I find that it brings out the worst in people. But my idea of the perfect christmas would be:

A quiet, cozy dinner with K and the kids. Read the bible, sing some hymns (Silent Night is my fave), open one present each. Put the kids to bed, do the Santa thing, and go to bed to wait for when the kids get to see their presents. Have a nice present opening thing with the kids in the morning, make french toast for everyone, and then . . . relax. Let the kids play with their new toys, maybe take a nap.
