Holidays & Birthdays
Oh, and one other thing -- and this is really ironic -- I didn't have much interest in getting my license until about six months ago (I didn't have a lot of places to go where I couldn't get rides, and I like biking). It was my DAD who has been wanting me to get my license; he's been wanting that for TWO YEARS! He'd be more than happy to get me driving, especially if it means he doesn't have to drive four hours straight going to a bluegrass festival... :-)

as for birthdays-I've never had a great one-nice to have them at all, the life I've lived...never had a party-boo hoo-and I HATE surprises, so dont sneak into my house and throw me one. I might kick you or have a heart attack or both...
why should it be better than any other day? I didnt do anything that day except come up gasping for air-worst decision i ever made, in many ways. Why celebrate being one day closer to the grave? Live each and every day as a gift, which it is. Dont deny yourself or your loved ones something you want and deserve, get it now, dont delay...

We give the kids a few presents on their birthday and let them pick a special thing to do. I don't see us ever having a huge birthday party, as it's just not our style.

never have had a special meal on xmas...
and my kid loves his birthday, but thats how kids are-next to halloween, it his favorite day of the year.
and he made me a card this year for my birthday that had me nearly breaking down right in front of the school, it was so sweet-i'm an old softie, gotta get over that...
this year for xmas he's getting some 'duelmaster' cards (a japanimation tv show) so we can play together...just what i want. LOL
I might as well tell you what we do for halloween. A few years ago, the novelty of holloween wore off for me but what we've been doing is much more fun. We make up costumes on the spot (salesman, barrel of toxic waste, guy borrowing soap, ninja, etc) and go to the houses on our side of the block. After we go to them, we go back home and dress up in another suit and go back to the same houses. It's more spontaneos and fun. when it gets dark, our neighbors throw a party. Since I love to sneak/be-stealthy and we were invited anyway, I climbed over the fence and hid 'n all. (Since it was holloween, I could dress in a dark oufit for camoflauge) It's fun to do it when people are outside which makes it tricky. It was harder 'cause there was a fire which illuminated the area. I managed to sneak past everybody (even when two of the kids were looking for me). It takes a lot of skill and energy (to stay low). Later that night, We went to a AFE holloween party but I left 'cause I'm not much of a party person (and no, it's not because I'm "brainwashed!" )
Thought I'd mention it.
i've never been to a halloween party-would like to go to a some year. this year one old lady acussed my kid of already coming to her door, and shooed him away. I called her some choice names, (similar to what gets put on here as ****) & wrote her quite a letter the next day. next year maybe we'll sneak into her yard and do some 'tricks'
My grandma said that when she was young, there was no 'treat' in "trick or treat", kids would just do tricks. She said that the biggest prank was soaping somebody's glass window when the owner was on the other side of the glass.
and i'd like to see what the posters on theose other boards would say about you if they knew you like to sneak around like a ninja...ye gods! great honk!
I'll be so glad when this holiday season is all over...then i'll have more time to post on here
I don't sneak around areas I shouldn't by the way!
I think people should buy their own gift. It would make the holidays much easier and less "return trips" if you know what I mean.
-he's pretty tight when it comes to buying for others-but his drawings & hugs & kisses are my favorite gift anyway...
