RE: Christmas Traditions

When I lived at home with my parents it was a tradition for my mother to bake cookies, stollen bread and coffeecake that was made in a coffee can. The cookies weren't too bad, the stollen was dry and hard and the coffeecake was awful but we all told her that everything was delicious. For decorations she had these little tiny elves that she would attach to chairs, curtains, all over the livingroom.

When I raised my daughter I continued with baking as many cookies as possible until I couldn't stand any longer.. but I bought a stollen from Entenmann's. For those not in the U.S. Entenmann's is a bakery that delivers their goodies to the supermarket. I continued with the elve tradition and attached them all over the house and made it a game that my daughter had to find them.

Now my daughter is married and she continues with baking delicious cookies. She has continued with the tradition of attaching the elves all over her livingroom, bathroom and kitchen and I have to find them. It's pretty cool and fun for both of us.

I've never had a Christmas miracle.

My fondest memory of Christmas as a child is that my parents were nice to my sister and I that day. My father made a big deal out of the socks or handkerchief I gave him and my mother "loved" the apron I gave her. After Christmas is was back to the usual crap.

I have a lot of good memories of my daughter Christmas morning but the one that stands out the most is when she was 15 I gave her a princess phone and she didn't have to pay the bill out of her allowance. The look of surprise on her face was priceless.

Merry Christmas Unique....

Merry Christmas to you too. Nice meeting you....I think...

RE: Iraq: What the Americans leaving behind?????

I'm no longer a knockout so I guess we are doomed. I could post a pic but it's six years old. I've aged, gotten fat and ugly since then...

RE: Iraq: What the Americans leaving behind?????

You lost "hundreds of soldiers". The U.S. lost almost 5,000 !!!

Why do you need to see my photo?

RE: Iraq: What the Americans leaving behind?????

If you're not bashing the U.S. what is the point of your thread?

We all know what happens in war. Why is it necessary to keep going over it again and again and again?

RE: Iraq: What the Americans leaving behind?????

Same old nonsense when people have nothing else to talk about...

"Poor people everywhere"... Scottsdale, Arizona is one of the wealthiest cities in the U.S.

Take a look at this and see how "poor" it is...

RE: Ron Paul moves UP in the Polls

After the last debate I was favoring Ron Paul too but today I heard some very serious things about him and racissm. He was interviewed about it on CNN and didn't want to answer the questions. In fact he took the microphone off and stormed out of the interview. Looks like he has a very ugly past when it comes to African-Americans.

RE: When you know your ex is dating somebody else, what is your reaction?

Referring to my last boyfriend, if I found out he was daing someone I would laugh to myself and think.....she'll learn what he's all about in due time.

RE: Christmas where you live ,,,

When I was a child my bedroom was right off the kitchen and I had to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. I remember getting up to go to the bathroom and there was my mother, at the kitchen table, putting a dollhouse together. She was shocked to see me and played it down that she was fixing something that had broken. Being a child a didn't give it a thought that it was in the middle of the night.

My husband and I did the same thing when our daughter was a wee one. We waited until she was asleep to put together a little metal stove, refrigerator and table and chairs.

When I think back to favorite gifts as a child there were three: A crenolyn.....for the guys, that's a petticoat with lots and lots of layers to make a skirt big and full; a little tin typewriter; and, a doll that felt like a real baby.

RE: Once Upon a Time on CS.......

I'm not good at spotting the trolls in the beginning and so I'll respond to them as if they were any other poster. A friend on here usually emails me to stay out of the thread because she knows he/she is a troll. She does that to save me from getting in the middle of what will eventually be an argument because she knows how the troll works. She's a good friend and has saved me more then once and I appreciate her immensly.

RE: DEDICATE A SONG TO SOMEONE SPECIAL

Thank you for the song luv but I'm not spanish and don't understand it. Doesn't matter.....it's the thought that counts.

"Montecito" is a town in California.

It is also the name of a fictitous Las Vegas casino from a tv show called Las Vegas. The show is no longer on tv but I loved it and thus, I am Montecito.....Monte for my CS friends

RE: DEDICATE A SONG TO SOMEONE SPECIAL

Dedicated to Freddy.....I saw Alabama on a country music show the other night on tv and got the feeling they might be reuniting, but not sure. These all came from a DVD I have called "Alabama Christmas" which is pictured in the first video. I love country music and Alabama is my favorite group. Enjoy Freddy..

MY FAVORITE OBAMA JOKE

The Pope and Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd.

The Pope leans towards Mr. Obama and says, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand, I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go
deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"

Obama replies, "I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand? Show me!"

So, the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!

AND THE CROWD ROARED AND CHEERED WILDLY and there was happiness throughout the land!
