Thanks, @Vastmind
Happy Birthday @Vastmind!
Curiosity has got the better of me....what exactly is the "sag pool"?
Sagittarius. .... Right? @bunks
Careful, after 40 cake & donuts are much more efficient at sticking to one's hips.
Happy Birthday to all, and to all a Good Night.
Have many happy returns to all the birthday members
And a Merry whatever to everyone who celebrates whatever 
And may the new years resolution be enlightenment by mid January or bust 
Just have a merry and happy whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

Merry Buddhamas!!

Feeling super festive today. So far, my 40th year is going quite well and I feel better than I did at 25, so that's nice
It finally snowed in northern MN after a very long and mild fall. So that helps with my festiveness.
My eldest is on his way home for a month long winter break. It is his first semester in college, so this mama will be glad to have all her babies under one roof again for a while
My son's (the eldest again) birthday is December 23rd, so we celebrate that. We don't do a lot on Christmas Eve just because I always wanted a distinction between his birthday and the craziness of Christmas time. We usually do dinner at my mom's house and then that evening we burn a Yule log that we picked in the woods and decorated. Starting it with the previous years log remains. The we listen to music and play games and leave snacks for Santa.
Christmas morning we do all the present stuff and make a big breakfast. Then we usually spend the day figuring out how presents work, lol, and cleaning up. I kind of hate the present thing, and I think we are going to plan ahead and save up and just do something as a family next year. This year, all the kids had trouble thinking of things they needed or wanted so we chose to donate part of the money we spend on presents to the refugee center in our state.
I shall be practising Bah-humbuggery in line with my bog-Irish pagan roots.
AHA!! humbug you are not. You showed up in my happy/party thread
Here's an extra treat plate for you......don't drop crumbs...let me know if I can get you some punch, and act happy, dammit!
Pah! Here are my carol-singing goats...
Enjoyed the singing goats.
As the gluttony festival draws nearer, I thank baby Jesus I am a Buddhist ...
Peace and enlightenment... best things I can think of to find under a tree.
I despise cliques. We-go's are even more of a trap than Egos.
May All Beings be peaceful. May all beings be happy. May all beings be Free!
Now that it's finally here, Happy Christmas!
(And belated birthday wishes to everybody, too!)
It's over for another year! Hurrah!
(Here comes Valentine's day.... Mothering Sunday....Easter..... Brace yourself, Pal..... it's just another way of saying ''countdown begins....")
They started stocking the candy aisle in WalMart on Dec 24 with V day candy.
I blame the Americans.
Indeed, I'll drink to that....
Indeed
They don't want to pay the price of a cup of tea (ref: Boston tea party). End up addicted to cheap coffee from Trump Southland [Mexico and below].
Tsk, tsk, the native americans should throw out the colonisers and establish the United States of Hopi. Maybe they could obtain fundraising from their semi banned North Indians? Muslims I think they are called ... I wonder if the boat people from Africa on their extended working holiday would care to help ...
Happy Days ...
Yeah, and us pagans should claim back the British Isles and throw out those sermonising Christians, send all the religious fundamentalists to the "New World"...oh, wait..
I hope everyone here had a good Christmas. Here's one of my little stories for you as a gift.
The Delayed Christmas Gift.
A young boy was talking to his friend on Christmas day. "So did you get everything you asked Santa for?" he asked his friend.
"Yep," his friend replied. "Although Santa did get the color of the new bike wrong. I asked for red and he left me a blue one. He left a note saying the elves ran out of red paint. How about you?"
"Not everything," the boy replied. "Along with the toys, I asked Santa for a new baby brother. Santa left a note saying he put the baby in Mommy last night but I have to wait nine months for it to show up. I asked Mommy where Santa put the baby, and she told me I was too young to know but next year she's not letting Santa give her all that spiked eggnog. Daddy won't stop giggling. Next year I'm just asking for a bike."
Happy Birthday to the Great Lady!

I think the old lady should abdicate in favour of her great grandson. Like NOW. Think what a cute king he will make.
