Mine was borderline bad/so-so. LOL. I know that sounds confusing buuuuut.... Well, we got snowed in yesterday, so the family Christmas dinner plans were ruined, and since we didn't have anything at our house for dinner, we had to dig the car out of over a foot of snow this am to go to the store... Plus, hubby is still sick (but feeling better at least) so all in all, not exactly all we had dreamed of but oh well..we made it.
How was yours, bees?
Ugh that sucks! We are in the borderline group as well. Because of money/surgery, we weren't able to go anywhere and don't have presents so it's almost like a normal day.
Don't worry - I'm right there with ya. It really hasn't felt much like Christmas this year anyway, for whatever reason.
ditto so/so... we didn't have money so there were really no gifts other than the kids (which they loved).. .I'm still waiting on my letter from M... the kids seem to be enjoying the day lol!! I hear random YES (from the video games) and the sound of remote control cars and giggles... so they had a very good Christmas which is all that matters..
Definitely so-so. Last night was fun with my family, but because of the snow I opted to stay at my apartment instead of at my parents' in the suburbs. My fiance is in Wisconsin with his family, so it's just been me and my kitty today. I'm getting cabin fever and I'm bored out of my mind! It doesn't even seem like Christmas because I've been alone all day. :(
So-so. I'm with my family, but no one feels much like talking/hanging out. They've spent all day watching transformers and the bourne series... and I HATE movies.
Ehh, borderline. We didn't really do much today, but oh well. I'm just glad it's over, lol.
aww sorry girls! well i'm a jew so i guess i have lower expectations, my christmas was pretty awesome! my fi and i went to a theme park, where we got to do his chanukah present from me- feeding the giraffes and getting up close and personal with the animals. then we went to chinese for dinner. the perfect jewish christmas!
@ jduck & crebre - sorry your Christmases weren't the best either! Too bad all the bees aren't in the same place, we could have had a Bee Christmas :)
artbee - that sounds fun! I love animals - and you're lucky you don't have to worry about snow! :)
okqueenbee - that would be sweet! Well, we're kinda having one on the boards now, so that will do, too. :)
I thought mine was going to suck because i really didn't feel in the spirit this year but it ended up being better than I thought.
okqueenbee- you're very right about that! my parents always visit my sister in ny, but now that i have my fi here i'd rather stay in the warm!
Mine was pretty amazing. It was the first year that me and FI have been together on Christmas. :) I got some great gifts and we went to his coworkers for Christmas dinner, and everything that I cooked turned out great! I was worried about it not being good because it is the first year we havent been with our families. We are about to go watch Sherlock Holmes now. FI has been waiting to see it since it came out.
My Christmas was pretty good! I love hanging out with my parents and brother (though I missed Mr. KM an awful lot). Lots of good/ awesome food.
Then my aunt and nana came over and were being pretty obnoxious, so that ticked me off.
I'm on the borderline of bad/so-so. The whole family is sick with the flu. BF worked last from 7pm to 7am came home to sleep, woke up an hour before go to work tonight and now he's gone. The kids loved they gifts, that wasnt much but they love it.
U see we live in fl but both of our familys are in ny and nj. I guess i just felt lonely. Maybe it's cuz i'm sick?
I had a great Christmas. We had a lot of fun with both of our families, had delicious dinners, got everything we wanted AND all the gifts I got him fit!!! The only downfall is that our tree decided to collapse last night and now it looks sadder than the Charlie Brown Christmas tree :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS BEES! AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T CELEBRATE, I HOPE YOUR HOLIDAYS ARE AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER, THAN THIS ONE :)
Meh...not the best I ever had...for sure. Also nothing like the Christmas I envisioned. I am not married, the weather is sucky, FI got into another argument with his boss...this time about having to work on Christmas. My daughter had a good Christmas though....she made a nice haul giftwise. *sigh* I am ready to ring in the New Year b/c this one is definitely not ending the way I wanted it to.
On the bright side...my Christmas dinner turned out great...even though it was only myself and my daughter eating it.
I have successfully made it through 2 out of the 4 Christmas's we have this weekend without there being any tears or fights. I consider that to be a good Christmas so far, we'll see how the weekend finishes up though before I make a formal decision.
Oh, FI did suprise me with a gift i wasn't expecting. That rarely happens so it was super sweet.
Mine was certainly bad. I spent the majority of the day with my grandfather who had a bad fall earlier in the week, fighting with him to go to rehab for physical therapy. We finally got him to agree, and got him back readmitted to the hospital for more treatment. There were a lot of tears, family arguments and drama. I missed being with my sisters all day because I was handling this. Don't get me wrong I love my family, but it really didn't feel much like christmas, since there was so much fighting. By the time we ate dinner 8pm and did gifts 9pm I was mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted so it really wasn't much fun.
@MstoMrs: That's so horrible. I hope that the therapy helps him get better.
@ok: i don't think this christmas had much of a chance... i really wanted to be home with my family lol!! honestly getting engaged would have been bittersweet because I wouldn't have been able to show my family.
I'm so surprised that so many bees had bad/so-so Christmases.... or maybe its just that the ones who had fantastic Christmases are having too much fun to be on weddingbee?? heh.
Mine was both good and bad. The first part of the day was really good, did opening gifts with my parents and I loved what they got me and they loved my gift to them. Plus yummy christmas breakfast food. FI isn't here which is sad, but I did get to talk to him on the phone twice today. The bad came this evening when my brother/his fiance (who I don't get along with) got here and well... there was some drama. The absolute worst of it is... it is pretty much my fault. Not in that I did anything wrong, but rather that I couldn't just let what they have done go for the sake of peace. I'm really disappointed in myself for being pissy on Christmas and for dragging my mom into it. If I would have just shut my mouth and let it all lie everything would have just gone so much smoother. I think I need to grow up a little and learn that sometimes you need to take a hit for the greater good :(
Christmas is looking up!! M is home and just made dinner (I had tuna though because I'm on a diet.. ick) now we are about to watch movies... and I finally get to read the letter that I thought he would forget to write <3... He was pissed because I kept asking about it, I think he tried to surprise me.
I'm sorry to hear that some of you had just borderline Holiday celebrations. Our was actually wonderful. Saw the FI's parents on Christmas Eve, then drove to my parent's 45 minutes away and spent Christmas Day in my new jammies, eating, drinking and just being together. Three dogs, four humans and a relaxing day.
I forgot my one bad thing so far is that his mom introdueced me to her new husband's family as the girlfriend. We have dated for 4 years been engaged for a year and half,Own a home to toether, and have a child. She is very self centered and could have possibly even forgotten we are engaged since she never asks about the wedding.
My Christmases are usually just so/so. I never get to see my FI because he spends it with his family in another province, and there is always some sort of drama with my mother on Christmas Day. My parents are also odd in that they go on and on all year about how important it is that I come home (I live across the country and this is the only time of year I usually get home becuase of the price of airline tickets) and once I arrive, they are excited for maybe 30 minutes before going back to their lives as if I hadn't arrived. I suggested we eat at the table for Christmas Eve dinner and turn the TV off, but they looked at me like I had 5 heads and refused. Sigh. Looking forward to when FI and I get married next summer and can do Christmas together.
SUCKY.
My family is 1600 miles away, as well as Hubs' family. I had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas night...so I just got home....anyhow, Hubs isn't sure what is really going on with his family, they aren't speaking to him. Well, weren't until last night. It's like they think it's ok to just not talk to someone until it's convenient for them. So, I'm at work feeling bad about him being home alone on Christmas the past 2 nights. To top that off, I have really been missing home a lot and Christmas just makes that a million times worse, and MY family isn't helping. Everyone in my family keeps saying how they wish I was home and can't believe I cancelled my trip up there...(hi, it's called money and a wedding to pay for). I called my mom Christmas Eve and she couldn't even talk to me because she was crying so hard. Geesh! That made my day better. Thanks mom, glad I called to say I love you and miss you and to get a little support about being so homesick.
I'm not usually like this. I am a very independent person, but ever since Thanksgiving this year I am not my normal self. I can't wait for the holiday season to be over with. I just want to be me again and not this puddle I have been.
Sorry bees. I hope y'all had a better Christmas. :) I'm off to bed, then back to work tonight with the preemies!
Ours was awesome. It was our first Christmas as an engaged couple....our first Christmas in our new house and our first Christmas hosting. We loved it!
aw, CorgiTales- At least you realize that it may have been your fault and you are remorseful. My SIL just doesn't get it. I really think she is evil. There is ALWAYS drama with her around. Hubs even told me we aren't having her at the wedding at all...HALLELUJAH!!! At least he said it and not me. :) Ok for real this time, off to bed I go.
Oh no! I'm sorry to those of you who had hardships this Xmas :( I hope that next year is better!
I was a bit sad for our Xmas this year, since the FI and I weren't able to go down to FL to spend it with our families. We had decided to exchange small gifts (some necessary items like a few new articles of clothing, some games for us to play, etc.), but my FI went against my wishes and bought me a new Canon SLR. I didn't know if I should punch him for buying it or hug him because I was so excited! He did promise me that he had purchased it for a very very very good discount on a Black Friday sale, so I guess I can't be toooo mad...
Mine was so-so. My SO and I argued and I'm still upset with him now. I got some nice presents and got to see my family, so it evened out.
Mine was GREAT! My biopsy came back clean two days before Christmas, and I got to spend it with my man. There's not much more I could have asked for. :)
Mine was so-so... I had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas, so I missed Christmas Eve dinner with my family, and Christmas dinner as well. Oh well, that's just how it goes sometimes.
@layla: YAY ON THE BIOPSY!!! I have been wondering when you'd post about it!!
@crebre - Thanks!! I've been too busy to update the old blog, but I will tomorrow. Yep, all clean - retest in four months (which I'm still not happy about, but I'll take it!).
@Laylabelle: Wow, a biopsy, how scary! Glad you are okay and it's great to see you around again!
@laylabelle- yay!! That is FANTASTIC news!
@MissLily- actually if my bro/fsil didn't invite me to their wedding that might be fantastic... lol jk. :) It really wasn't that I did anything wrong, it was that my bro/fsil did and rather than just let it all go like my parents did i kind of ignored them all day, which made things uncomfy. i need to learn do the whole "be the bigger person" thing.
@Layla--I'm so glad to hear the results were good from your biopsy.
My Christmas was good, not great. It was harder than I thought it would be being away from my family. My MIL got under my skin a little so I kinda had a hard time enjoying myself. However, we had a pretty good time at my family party yesterday and at brunch with my mom, sis and bro this morning.
I guess at least we have our first Christmas as a married couple under our belts! :)
