This year has been ever so crappy. My friends list certainly needs lots of positive thoughts and woefully inadequate virtual hugs.

*hugs flist* It's just not as good as the real thing, eh?

I'm doing Christmas cards for the rest of the evening. Have received so far one from my older sister and one from mareisse and Munchkin. I <3 little kid writing. :-) Must put out the Christmas decorations. Bah.

Other than the cards and watching the kids open presents, I don't get into the Christmas spirit. I dunno what it is, but I don't get all sweet and gushy this time of year. I like to do nice things for people all year 'round. Maybe it's the fact that I can't bake cookies, at least not well. And I hate to be reminded of the fact that my family doesn't get together like we used to - i.e. before my mom died. The not being together is emphasized during this time of year, and it's depressing. Bah! Humbug!

ETA: Have made no-bakes! I wanted to make peanut butter cookies, but alas, no baking powder. But, no-bakes! :-d

I know how you feel on the family thing. I haven't gotten to celebrate with my family in over 2 years now, and sometimes it still stings during the holidays. I rely only on my ever powerful imagination to get me through this time of year. I got the christmas lights up, but the tree is still gazing yearningly at me, almost begging to be put up.

Bah Humbug PBG, You make a rotten Ebeneezer Scrooge. I know we haven't spoken in a while but you have a big cyber Christmas card from me and lots of mumsy Christmas hugs too. You rotten thing I really hate people who are early with Christmas cards. I received one this morning. Aargh! I haven't even bought any yet and am always at the last minute which is a huge step forward from the much loved who wouldn't even bother if I wasn't around!

LOL, Diane, I'm still working on the Christmas cards at this late date! *ducks* Once it gets to be about two weeks before Christmas if the cards aren't out, they will never leave the coffee table. But no, Honeybunch does not sign the cards, even for friends of his that I don't know.

I hope your holidays are coming along as well!
