Lol, OK so I was heading to a meeting tonight. It starts at 8 and I am usually pretty late (like around 9). This time I managed to get there around 8:20. My friend was glad to see me but joked that I was late again. Slightly embarrassed, I look at the clock and on the spur of the moment said, "Hey, it's the earliest I've ever been late!" To my delight, everyone laughed. Yay!

Lol, I love this story, heralde! Absolutely perfect. *sigh* I love being able to throw cute Richard lines into conversations like that!

Pictures now:

Well I got to volunteer at my Church this past weekend to organize the presents for needy families. It definitely felt good knowing I was doing something good, and for no reward. There should be more emphasis on Christmas being about giving.

Aw, that's so wonderful, heralde! It really does feel amazing. And just helping others is one of the best rewards in the world.

Yeah, I agree that you should give to give without expecting something back in return. And not just to feel good but to help somebody else to feel good as well.

Hey, everyone...It's been a while since I posted on here. I've mainly been lurking, trying to find the right moment to pipe up. I just need to get some things off of my shoulders and I don't know who else to come to. I'm depressed because my Christmas spirit this year is slowly dimming. I want everyone to be as festive as me in my household; so I've been wanting to watch Christmas movies and specials, wanting to get gifts earlier than usual, bake cookies and whatnot, and even getting a real tree this year; I even wanted snow for once, to make it more like Christmas, even though I hate snow most of the time(The snow where I live doesn't stick together, so no one can really make snowballs and snowmen. This years actually been good, usually snow falls as early as October, the first snowfall this season was today.) But still, everyone's negative most of the time, complaining, yelling as they put the tree on the stand and even yelling at the animals even if the animals didn't do anything wrong. And most of the time, I just want to yell at them, but I don't because I want to be the better person and not complain like they do.

It's just that both my family's Halloween and Thanksgiving were crud this year, I just want Christmas to be at least good. Anyway, I'm sorry...You guys probably didn't want to read something like this. But, it's better to talk to people about it instead of keeping it in and letting it build up until finally it gets out of control...

That's really good, heralde. The company I work with is doing several angel trees and a few adopt-a-child programs, asking all the reporters, editors and other staff to contribute gifts for needy children and families in the area. And you're right; it is really fulfilling.

And I know what you mean, Snowball. In some cases it is really hard to keep the spirit up, what with all the commercialism and the chaos. (And those news reports of what happened on Black Friday don't help very much.) I usually get kind of low during the holidays myself.

I understand Snowball, my Christmases sometimes had bits of fighting which would put a damper on things. Most families have that, even when the holidays are ultimately good. And with so much stress in my life it gets harder to enjoy Christmas like I used to. But I try to remember that Christmas isn't about being blindly merry; it's about keeping up that special spirit despite your troubles. Plus giving to others is a good way to distract from your problems, hehe. I think some Christmas cards should focus more on giving to others, rather than just cute little winter scenes (as nice as they are ). Merry Christmas to you!
