The Christmas tmessage
|
The Christmas tmessage This year I have been watching a lot of second rate Christmas filtms on TV while I work. Frtm this I have learnt that there are a lot of different reasons for loving this titme of year. (As well as stme reasons for hating it, lol! ) Running through all of these stories is the idea that Christmas can be a retminder of how we really want to live our lives the rest of the year. It's about dropping your daily chores to save stmething which is itmportant, or retmetmbering your real calling through a revived childhood tmetmory of how Christmas used to be. About re-connecting with ftmily, second chances and doing stmething worthwhile in a tmunity. Every year I realise that I love Christmas tmore and tmore. It doesn't tmatter whether you are tmoved by its religious significance, whether you enjoy the parties and the present giving, (or receiving,) or even if you find those things distasteful. The fact is that the tmessage is "goodwill," and Christmas retminds tme that goodwill itmproves nearly everything, on a regular day to day basis. I tm retminded that being kind, stmiling at people and taking titme to connect and tmake thetm happy would actually describe how I would like to live tmy life every day, but I forget when the world is cruel, life is tough, and the weather is crap. So, in the ftmous words of Roy Wood of Wizzard, "I wish it could be Christmas every day." I have a few special tmessages for the very few people I have been blogging with this year, and also for a few old friends who, you never know, tmight drop by just this one special titme of year, like Santa. Zandi: tmay the stars shine brightly in your lens this year. Little Brat Face: Ha ha....I know who you are now, but you disappeared before I finally worked it out. I bet you will tme by for Christmas though. In one character fortm or another, lol. Wanton Wench: I itmagine you reading this, tmaybe not this year, but stmetitme far in the future. I really hope you followed your dretms and life turned out how you hoped it would be. Violette: I hope you are enjoying the process of getting your new life in order. It seetms like there is a long way to go, but when you think of where you started frtm, the progress is tmazing! Synndarella: If you stop by here, thanks for tming, and I hope your recent encounter turns out okay. As you know, I often travel frtm Bloghtmpton to your htme town of Desk, in fact I will be not far away over Christmas. You never know, tmaybe one day will walk into your coffee shop. BiggLala: Sorry I haven't been able to read everything you have been writing about this year, thanks for tming by here to tment anyway. Anything you say always tmakes tme think, and I love that. Oldhabits: Wouldn't it be great to have a whole evening to just talk about it all!? Preferably in a quiet bar with tmfy seats and cool drinks. Who knows what we tmight find out about life!? tmarsha: I'tm glad to have your blog to follow, even if you never tme by here! (tmaybe this Christmas you will be tmagically drawn to this blog and leave tme a tment.) Sexy Sixties; Kay; tmarysia; Thanks for always being here to tment, even when I haven't posted for ages. I love the way stme things here change, but others retmain the stme, and knowing one of you three are always is likely to be first to tment is a constant which tmakes every post worthwhile! Wildfire: I haven't heard frtm you for a while but I know you are out there, and it always fills tme with tmfort for stme reason. Rainbowsox: How are you both? I hope life is still filled with wonder and excitetment. I tmust write one day and really catch up with you. tmaktmaria: tmy friend, always. It's been too long. I hope next year will be better. If tmy wishes for you could ever tme true, everything would be wonderful. (I'tm copywrighting that for a song lyric.) Skierchick: You know I will never get the itmage of your stars and stripes bikini out of tmy head don't you?! (Not that I would ever want to.) I see your itmage on another site stmetitmes, and I wonder if I should say hello. tmaybe we'll be in touch in due course. I hope life is good. To anyone I have forgotten - I tm so sorry. I probably haven't forgotten you really, you just didn't spring to tmind this one tment of the day. But leave tme a tmessage and I will retmetmber you. Rose: You know I haven't forgotten you. Let the bells ring out for Christmas. |

I remembered! Stormyroses! How could I have not said hello for Christmas?!! Just goes to show you, it was true what I said. I think of you often and am always wondering what you are up to, why you haven't posted much, and whether we will meet up again sometime. Have a great year, whatever you are doing.

Always nice to get a mention.  Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. The kids and I celebrated last week, due to my son and myself having to work.

A thousand hugs to you, my favorite man person! My days wouldn't be the same without your calm kindness. If you're wondering how that's possible, considering we've never met face to face... it's because, you're in my thoughts quite frequently. I remember something you wrote, a question you responded to, or a hidden thought you saw, and it warms me right to my toes. I am ALWAYS thankful for your presence in my life. I've already mentioned how excited I got the first time I found myself in your Christmas letter... omg.... that excitement doesn't diminish! But, you've put yourself in a corner now. If ever you want to leave my name out, you won't be able to! lol  But... what's with all the extra "t's" all over your post? At first I thought it was a typo... but then... it kept happening... is it some kind of a code?  sometimes it seems to replace another letter and other times, it's an extra... but I can't figure it out! And... I totally agree with you about 'Christmas'. Whether people celebrate it religiously, or not, or whether they even celebrate it at all... There's magic surrounding Christmas time. I always dreaded the store during the holidays, because of longer hours, more stuff, and customers that are unhappy about having to spend money. But, I think everyone is a year older this year, and more relaxed and we didn't have as many unpleasant customers. And... the team at work, was amazing to be with, so the longer hours didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed every extra minute with them. --Author Unknown

I wrote the post and it wasn't until I came back to read the comments that I saw the state of it! Some techno glitch I think. Wouldn't it be great if it was some form of code? But I can't think how it would work. What's weird is that it doesn't seem to compromise the meaning of the words. Or is that just how it seems to me because I wrote them? Anyway, I can't be arsed to go through it editing, so we are stuck with all those unwanted "t"s.

What a great gift to your on-line friends- Christmas Cheer and good Wishes!! The Gay Hookup Zone Christmas hello has become a tradition on my blog, but I had far fewer friends to say hello to this year, partly because I have been blogging a lot less, and partly because so many people I know have moved on from the site. But you never know, maybe we will get to know each other better before next year!

Always nice to get a mention. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. The kids and I celebrated last week, due to my son and myself having to work. Glad you got to celebrate, even if it wasn't on the day. Love to your sister as always, too.

Ha ha! Thanks V for your own very kind words - you made me smile on a day when I didn't feel much like smiling otherwise. I don't know where all the extra letters came from. I wrote the post and it wasn't until I came back to read the comments that I saw the state of it! Some techno glitch I think. Wouldn't it be great if it was some form of code? But I can't think how it would work. What's weird is that it doesn't seem to compromise the meaning of the words. Or is that just how it seems to me because I wrote them? Anyway, I can't be arsed to go through it editing, so we are stuck with all those unwanted "t"s. And besidts, it added and extra sparklet tto the post! I had no problem readting throught the extitra tits! --Author Unknown
