I want to take all the money that I normally spend on Christmas presents and take us all on a nice vacation instead. I think the cost would be about the same, and there would be a LOT less stress!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548224510968474278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-64816012167345267132010-12-21T10:20:09.633+13:002010-12-21T10:20:09.633+13:00I live in Arizona so it rarely rains.

It's so rare that when it rains or gets foggy (which I don't even know if it ever does) we all celebrate and crowd around the window to see. LOL. Then I'm excited because I don't have to water my plants.Virginia Revoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426979985073932937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-67190677103606197412010-12-21T08:43:48.919+13:002010-12-21T08:43:48.919+13:00i think stress makes fOr a very blue Christmas. i...i think stress makes fOr a very blue Christmas. i cant seem to really get into it either this year. i havent even done cards yet.redgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900563954590855459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-6864417019412360492010-12-21T00:17:26.909+13:002010-12-21T00:17:26.909+13:00You know I live in hot and humid Singapore all my ...You know I live in hot and humid Singapore all my life and I still can't get used to the weather. It's raining on and off in December too and then it's blazing hot.

Down here in Christchurch, a lot of people are still recovering from the earthquake and huge number of aftershocks, and so many people knew families affected by the terrible disaster at the Pike River Mine. It's hard to get motivated when there are so many people around hurting. I think I'm looking forward to a break from work, more than I'm looking forward to Christmas this year. I bought all my presents back in October - but they still lie unwrapped in our spare room.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670323685547211097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-84822547923599089492010-12-20T18:22:12.171+13:002010-12-20T18:22:12.171+13:00Sounds like Queensland weather, the sole reason we...Sounds like Queensland weather, the sole reason we are here in Adelaide.
