This thread is screaming for a ping for you folks.
How old is your Boxer? And is that his name?
Working!
What would we do without our pets? Or this place?
Merry Christmas to you.
(It’s snowing in Nashville!)
Bless your heart, Skooz. I'm sorry you're all alone! At least on the big day, you'll be with loved ones.
A loner, but not lonely. For those of us who choose to be alone, but busy and productive, I recommend: "Party of One", by Anneli Rufus. What a read for those whose voices will never form a chorus....and they like it that way!
I look forward to another year of fine repartee on the best Conservative site on the net!
Cheers to all!
The first time I saw that movie there were Ss many similarities to me and my childhood that I was sure that either everyone had the same Christmas memories or Jean Sheppard must have been chronicling my life at that age. It was scary.
I looked like Ralphie, grew up in the same era, went to a red brick school where the double dog dare was to lick the flagpole during a freeze.
I lusted for a Red Ryder BB gun. My mother said I’d shoot my eye out. My dad got me one anyway.
I didn’t have a little brother, but my great-aunt always got me creepy clothes for a present. Not a rabbit suit thank God.
The dogs actually ate the Turkey off our drainboard. We didn’t go to a Chinese restarurant, just made do with the veggies and stuffing.
Like I said, the similarities were startling, then funny, then cherished. I watch it every year with more affection for “Ralphie” than ever. I hope every one of you has a little of Ralphie in him.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Alone except for my 3 little yorkies laying at my feet and my friends at FR. Thank God for all of you! Merry Christmas!
I agree, it’s not a bad thing to have some relaxing quiet alone time - especially before a hectic (albeit fun) day with the family. :-)
Merry Christmas!
Sort of. Went to drop off some gifts at the home of Hindu friends who celebrate Christmas -lights, tree - then home. So nice and quiet. Making a midnight meal for husband when he gets home from work.
Yep. Kind of a dull night. Hope yours is good.
Merry Christmas Skooz! And all on FR!!!
Meeeeeeeeeee!! But I did go to Christmas Eve service at my church.
Merry Christmas everyone. Worked tonight and will be working all weekend. Family all gone to relatives.
So I am sort of alone. But I love you all.
Good night and pray for me.
I’m going to call it a night. Pets will open their presents tomorrow morning instead.
Remember everyone that you are never alone. God is always with you. You just have to reach out to Him.
For those of you traveling - safe trip.
After I take photos of my pet kids opening up their presents in the morning I plan on curling up with a book for the rest of the weekend.
God bless y’all. Merry Christmas from Huntsville, Alabama.
Here is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Enjoy!

I’m alone here in California ... except for my kitties. My wonderful DH is in Iraq. (He’s the only family I have.)
Well, sorta.
All the kin have gone their merry way, my wife has gone to bed...so, now it's just me and...
Feliz Navidad!
What do you think? It’s a Christmas poem to my kids
It was the night before Christmas and Muffie cuddled near by
I gently petted her coat as she licked the tears from my eye
She seemed to say why Mommy why are you so sad today
I love you, I need you, I promise to stay
I reached out and touched her fluffy white coat
And bit my lip, lest I say love was a joke
Except with God who is there always for you
Never count on empty words to always be true
That little pea in your pod that is waiting to emerge
Will stay as long as they need you, then fly like a bird
So listen my Muffie, from one mom to one in wait
Nor in blood nor in bond ever count on your fate
...
You don’t want regrets, so please listen my kit
Don’t let your babies let you to feel like shit
You see what it has done to your mother’s heart
Now walk into the New Year and please be smart
