I Hope Everyone Has a Merry Christmas...

especially those who have no family with which to spend it. Do you think maybe next year we could work on some kind of sign up sheet or something for exjws to get together, so everyone has somewhere to go? I would be more than happy to host guests who are in or could be in my part of Ohio.

After several beers and half a bottle of wine I am pretty merry already! I have to have a practice run though,tomorrow (25th) my Irish relatives are cooking a goose and expecting me to keep up with their drinking while we eat it. I'll have a bloody good try!

Have a GREAT ONE Everybody!

Love

i had an offer to go somewhere tomorrow...but I went there for a couple hours for lunch on TurkeyDay...it was kinda strange.

I think I will make tomorrow a stay in day. I wanted to go see family in Alabama, but dont feel like driving 10-12 hours.

Merry Christmas to YOU.

I would enjoy getting to an apostochristmas, but I do have family, so that day is kind of taken:) If someone in WA needs a friend, I am happy to have friends over for the holidays;) This year we might actually have a white Christmas. Do you think a foot of snow can melt before tomorrow? It will be my first (remembered, anyway) white christmas in 42 years.

Hosting families would have to be really down to earth, I suspect. We're pretty irreverent here. One Christmas dinner we watched a "Family Guy" dvd that my husband got from his son. There are always lots of laughs and silliness, but my husband is very gregarious, so it's probably a lot easier for us to host than it may be for others.

Strange how, Snakes?

this lady and her husband are very kind, dont get me wrong. I met her when I was doing some work in another field. I helped them out by helping her find work when they were having a slow time in their business. Ever since, I have been her "little brother"... genuinely nice people and a great friend post WT (she even commented that I was a nicer person since I left the cult)..

My friend's daughter and her husband, on the other hand, are hard to tolerate... they dont treat their kids right...I dont think they are evil...just unthinking and unkind...and very immature.... Even her own mom (my friend) has serious issues with they way her daughter treats the grandkids. Dysfunctional does not describe the daughter. . I have a longer fuse with my patience level than I ever had as a dub, but even this young gal pushes those limits. Anyone who knows me knows it is a feat for me not to tell the daughter off about the way she acts and treats her children (my friends g'children). I cant do 2 holidays back to back with her around. I dont need the stress. Makes me physically ill.

I have an open invite for dinner at the mom's house and will take them up on it over time. Does that explain it? I just was not comfortable.

Snakes, hey I get it. How awful for those kids. My stepdaughter's boyfriend is very gruff with their kids, but she puts him in his place.

JAMIE- Merry Christmas to you and your husband ! And a big merry Christmas to all of the folks here on JWD as well ! Hope you have a safe and happy new year ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Here's one that everyone should get a laugh out of: My family is all getting together today at my JW sisters' house 'for Christmas'. She the only sibling who's still in---the others are out. My parents are going too and in addition, my sister is inviting some close JW friends over today too for a big turkey dinner.

So I find it more than a little ironic that me---an apostate, will be celebrating this wicked 'pagan' holiday with Jehovah's Witnesses.

I Hope Everyone Has a Merry Christmas...
