Good Morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

Come join us and share your Christmas/ Holiday traditions with us.

Christmas Traditions at my house.

Advent

At our house we start the Christmas celebrations with Advent.

We have a wreath made out of pine cones with four candles on it.Each Sunday we light one Candle and read the Story of Christs birth and listen to Christmas songs.

During the time of Advent,we also start baking our Christmas Cookies and making Christmas decorations.

Our kids receive an Advent Calender on the First of December to count down the days to Christmas.

St.Nick or Nickolaus

On December sixth we celebrate St.Nick,who brings small gifts ,that he puts into the children's boots,that have been left in front of their doors,if they were good.;)

To keep some of the traditions from Germany in the family, we also exchange gifts on December 24 th and we put some gifts under the tree for December 25 th,to include the traditions of an American Christmas.

We have integrated both traditions into our very own tradition and hope that our kids will carry on this tradition, when they have their own families.

It would be great if you all could share your Traditions with all of us,whether they are Christmas,Hanuka or other Holiday traditions.

I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

((HUGS))Good morning, Starwise. How's it going?

It's gpoping pretty well, L.J. We had my brother and his family from Texas here this weekend.

They've gone up to Bartlesville to visit his in-laws. They're going to be back here Saturday.

We're taking care of their dog Jenny while they're away.

Texas-style cookies!

[Lady Jag]

It's beginning to look like you have a big family who like to visit you a lot.

In case you missed it... Thanks to Rae Ann...

CHRISTMAS  DIVORCE

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York CHRISTMAS EVE and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that  your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is  enough."

"Pop, what are you talking  about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of  each other any longer" the father says.

"We're sick of each other,  and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his  sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced", she  shouts.  "I'll  take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately, and  screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there.  I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow.  Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs  up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.   "Okay," he says, "they're both coming for Christmas and paying their  own way."

[E.G.C.]

((LOL))Yep, sure do.:-D

HEY.......psyberace............

[Lady Jag]

If I had 1 wish this Christmas, it would be for all the children of the world to join together in peace and love and sing in harmony.

If I had 2 wishes this Christmas, it would be for:
1: All the Children of the world to sing together
2: $1,000,000 tax free

If I had 3 wishes this Christmas:
1: Kids singing together
2: $1,000,000 tax free per year for life
3: To have all encompassing power over the universe

If I had 4 wishes this Christmas:
1: The crap about the kids
2: $1,000,000
3: All encompassing power
4: 1 extended orgasm to last 30 days, brought about by
   2 supermodels and, of course, my wife

Let's face it, the logistics of getting all those kids together is impossible.  So, let's rearrange:
1: All encompassing power
2: The orgasm
3: The money

OH!  I forgot to strike down my enemies.  Okay, so we add that in.

Now, my wish this Christmas would be:

1: The power
2: To strike down my enemies, may they die like pigs in hell
3. The orgasm
4. The Money
5. And with my fifth wish this holiday season I would like for all the
   children of the world to join together in peace and love and sing
   in harmony.

Merry Christmas

Have a safe and enjoyable time.
