I'm a little blue about it. My son will be in NJ with his dad. It will be the first year in 17 yrs that he will not be with me. I'll be home with hubby and daughter. Jen

Jen awww that is going to be sad...........I am really looking forward to seeing my oldest son for a few weeks he will be home from college...(although he has come home a couple of time he is always so busy between friends and his dad's house and me i really don't get much time with him) at least you will be with hubby and daughter and you look great!

Well, Christmas Eve day we spend at my parents with all of my brothers and sisters and their families; about 30 people. Christmas Eve night we go to my Aunt Viv's on my dad's side; about 40 or so; and spend a little time there before the candlelight service at church. Christmas morning will be spend at home with my kids; just the 3 of us. Christmas day we are going to my cousins house on my mom's side; about 70 people. It's always a good time, but this year with the unknown of a job, we aren't spending any money on anyone.....have to be prepared in case. Hope you are ALL going to spend wonderful time with lots of family! Pam

Well, the last Christmas and this Christmas will be about the same. With the sickness I have had we have not had the money to buy our 17 grandkids anything for Christmas. We use to have these great big Christmas' , and there would be presents flowing out into the floor in the living room. The other day I was at Wal-mart, walking aroung looking at different things that I would like to buy for them, but couldn't. I began to have a real pitty party for myself. I was waiting on some pictures that I was picking up, after getting tired of looking at what I couldn't buy. A girl came up to the desk and got her pictures and began putting them into frames. I peeked over her shoulder and seen who they were. Her family is well to do, but this year her mother was killed in a car wreck. I really felt bad for feeling sorry for myself. These people could buy all they wanted for each other but they were going to be without their mom. Then as I was walking out the door, I seen one of the greeters standing there with a sad face. she use to always kid around and smile. Her daughter died this year from some illness. I thank GOD that I have my family and that I can share the day with them, even though there will not be a big Christmas like we use to have. He made me appreciate what I do have, family. I thank GOD that he is real and that he loves me. GOD thank you for my family and friends. Elisa

Yay how exciting christmas at he new house! (that was last year for me) It was great. This year I am going to my huneys familys at noon then coming home at 4:00 and having christmas at my house with my family, I'm making a huge dinner, and spending time with my grandma and grandpa that are here from Germany (for 3 month) Wooo Hooo. I love them, she handed me a hundred last night and told me to go buy myself an outfit for my weight loss success! So needless to say I'm off to the mall later! I'm just happy to spend time with everyone and to be 113 lbs lighter the reaction on peoples face is GREAT. This is the first year I will actually like to be in front of the camera. By the way I bought a new skirt (which I haven't worn one since 7th grade) SHORT ONE TOO and I'm wearing it with my tall boots. IM SO EXCITED all though I tried it on and couldnt get my man away LOL Happy Holidays, April
