We have 14 bottles of champagne and by this time next week, will be deep into the making of glorious food for it. 20738. Ronski - 12/24/2006 10:08:52 PM Frosty wishes everybody Happy Holidays.
He also requests that you pray for cold and snow.
Thank you.
And Merry Christmas from me, too. 20739. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 12/24/2006 11:25:38 PM I have a good friend and family member trying to come back from a thoracotomy and resection of his esophagus– the result of a malignant tumor that was first thought to be benign.
Holidays get tougher and more meaningful. Whatever level of health you have, I wish you all much more of it and the peace and love we all need and deserve to survive the time remaining to us. May the coming year be kind to you all and filled with unexpected joys.

Thanks, Wiz. 20745. alistairConnor - 12/25/2006 5:26:33 AM Merry christmas all.
Just got home from a feast with my girlfriend's family. I was tasked with bringing the cheese - I considered that an honour, and invested considerable thought and trouble into making a good selection. It was very well received, I have passed the induction test.
Then I spent an hour on the phone to my family in NZ - actually I phoned four siblings and got answering machines, before ringing my mother, and they were all there... 20746. Ronski - 12/25/2006 6:06:50 AM Well don't keep us hanging! What kind of cheese?? 20747. judithathome - 12/25/2006 5:24:53 PM Jen, if you check in here, I wanted you to know I had a dream about you last night. (I think I'm getting pneumonia so that might have had something to do with it...heh) You invited me to come to an Indian restaurant and met me at the front of it...you told me we had to wear the proper dresses before we could enter.
There was a room off the foyer and we went in and began trying on these gorgeous long dresses. The had contrasting jackets that went with them...all of them were exquisite and we traded different dresses and admired ourselves in long mirrors in the dressing room. The dresses were all one size but once on our bodies they fit perfectly and made everyone who wore one look outstanding. The woman in charge of the room charged us a dollar a piece for the dresses and we could only buy one per meal...in other words, we'd have to come back and buy another dress before eating there again.
You and I were going insane trying these things on and every single one of them looked great on you, on me, and on other women in there. Finally, we made our choices and entered the restaurant and had a lovely meal...we ate and drank and everyone had the best time.
Afterward, as we were leaving, we made a date to come back and not only enjoy another meal but get another stunning dress!
It was a great dream...thanks for being in it! ;-) 20748. Wombat - 12/25/2006 6:16:00 PM Merry Christmas, Chappy Chanukah, etc. Mom-in-Law coming for dinner, then on to NYC tomorrow. 20749. arkymalarky - 12/25/2006 6:29:09 PM Same to you, Wombat!
Cool dream and cool pictures, Judith and Ronski! We're off to my MIL's too (I'm waiting, as usual, for Bob to get ready), lots of family in from all over, and Mose's new BF. She's happy as a clam (so are we), and if anyone knows anyone in need of not one, but two gorgeous wedding dresses in size 3....
Been working on my project and will get back to it as soon as I get home, but I think I'll be able to get it done in time. Not with any to spare, though.
20750. wonkers2 - 12/25/2006 6:41:55 PM Merry Christmas and a great New Year to all! 20751. Magoseph - 12/26/2006 7:26:02 PM Hello, everyone—-I enjoyed the wonderful posts above and Ronski's beautiful pictures very much.
Christmas for us was peaceful and quiet, exactly what we needed this year. 20752. judithathome - 12/26/2006 11:43:08 PM I was sick as a dog all day yesterday and not much better today. High as a kite on cold meds and trying to take a nap so I won't be half asleep at dinner tonight.
We're going to a fancy schmancy dinner at our friend's house...one of the chefs. Keoni made two pies that look fabulous...an apple one and a peach/blackberry. Guy, the chef, is going to serve salmon, shrimp, and something else I can't recall. 20753. arkymalarky - 12/27/2006 3:14:04 AM Hope you recoup enough to enjoy the evening Judith. And watch your step. ;-) 20754. Magoseph - 12/27/2006 12:35:35 PM Judith, I envy your dreams—I never have good dreams, but I have nightmares, horrible ones like this one, for example, when I rush for school and don’t make it in time. Going down the hall towards my classroom, teachers are watching me with glee and when I open my door, I see on the white board in big black letters: YOUR STUDENTS ARE IN THE GYM WATCHED BY A SUBSTITUTE.
Or, and those dreams are the worst ones, when I relive near catastrophes of the long ago past and it is always about what was avoided at the time and could have ruined me emotionally or financially. In my dreams, I struggle to wake up and when I do, I’m sweating profusely, my heart is beating and I have to make an assessment of my present situation, safe, sound, boys are happy adults.
20755. thoughtful - 12/27/2006 5:54:43 PM Belated christmas wishes to everyone.
I would say happy christmas but ours this year left a lot to be desired.
Rather than focus on that, I will tell you about the best part of our christmas...after I cooked that (horrible to me wonderful to him) traditional slovak dinner, we went for a walk in the neighborhood. For about a mile throughout, the neighbors all get together and light luminaries that line both sides of the street, one every 10 paces or so. Between that, the xmas lights, and the mild temperatures, it made for a most excellent walk.
