I'll do my xmas shopping in December, I like going to the city and seeing all the lights and atmosphere...
last year was my son's first year of finding out that father xmas is not really xmas and we went shopping together... it's great to think of other people and finding something that they'll trully like.
I know that giving presents can be done and is done throughout the year whether it's xmas or a birthday but Xmas is a special time (at least for me) and I like all the parafonolia that goes with it... the decorations...the lights....and the turkey! yummy!
last year I got up at 6 just to put the turkey in the oven on xmas day! - I went back to bed! and the turkey didn't burn, it was just right and ready at lunch time!
yes... I went into a thread that was all in gaelic.. I tried to make sense of it, even tried to find an instant translator on line but I couldn't so I gave up. I didn't feel ofended, just angry at myself for not being able to find the solution ipsofacto.
don't worry about what other people think, the good thing about these forums is that one gets to know other people and what they're about even if sometimes they/we joke around and are a bit silly.
RE: dating very beautiful people is always a fail...
looks is just the casing anyway... and even gorgeous people have feelings and want to be loved for who they are and not for their looks.Life can be very empty if one is only loved for their looks or money or whatever other thing they might possess.
Take care Cristina
