    Our first Christmas Tree in 25 years! Ashitaka and his wife helped us celebrate last night and this morning with great presents, food and company! What a year it has been for our family. We want to thank everyone here for their support in helping us see our way out of the WT crap!

    Merry Christmas to Everyone! Hugs..... the Shakita Family

    Ahhhh! I like happy endings.

    Baby steps back to what you used to do. Glad to hear the family is getting together. Enjoy one and other.

    Hugs,

    Hey!

    There's a good chance that tree is demonized.

    Merry Christmas!

    joy2bfree and Farkel:

    Is that what that moaning voice was in the middle of the night!

    Thanks you guys, and Merry Christmas to you, too.

    We have been taking baby steps, but with this up and coming elder visit campaign to seek out inactive ones, who knows how long those baby steps will last. Oh well, take each day as it comes.

    Today was my first Christmas with the family in 10 years. To tell you the truth, it was a little anticlimactic. Just exchanged gifts, ate a meal, NO FREAKING BIG DEAL!!!! Are you listening WT? Christmas really isn't that big of a deal!!! But, I know, the "no holiday" thing is a major part of your brand differentiation.

    I always stayed close with my family during my JW years. I'm so glad that they never hassled me that much about being a JW. Things are totally back to normal now, I didn't feel even the slightest bit odd celebrating Christmas.

    Merry Christmas everybody!
