- Oct 08 08 10:14I remember when I was in Elementary school, the most coolest part about Christmas was to join the choir and head over to 97 Kiss FM and sing live on air. Then, a selected few would go sing at the Old Folks home. I always looked forward to it.

- Oct 08 08 04:01Will be taking my Beaver kids to a Seniors' home in early Dec. We've done this before- with songs, a shared craft and snack...but thanks to P.C.'s ideas we will make cards and gifts to distribute this year.

Besides, it's more fun making a mad dash to your items when the doors open!

- Oct 02 08 02:13lol yup Lil Me it is good fun! Last year a few people even had tents!
Although your cousin waking up that early to not really buy anything kind of sounds like a waste...

- Oct 01 08 08:26One of my cousins does that, Marik. I personally think he's a bit of a nutter, because he rarely buys anything on Boxing Day...it's a social thing he's been doing with his friends for years. They set up their chairs and food/drinks in the mall parking lot as soon as turkey dinner is finished. Male bonding.

- Oct 01 08 08:10Oh! I forgot to mention... Dec 25th (well.. 26th really) at about 2:00 AM I line up at Future Shop to get great deals! Might even go a little earlier this year.

- Oct 01 08 05:18Good unreverse planning Lil Me....errr....reverse unplanning. lol
That to me sounds like a fabulous plan. I think if everybody concentrated on doing what they enjoyed, instead of what they think they should do....or what everyone else wants them to do, 'holiday stress' would be wiped out.

- Oct 01 08 10:52If truth be known, I started formulating a holiday plan because there are certain things that I DON'T want to be doing.
I'd rather plan what I DO want to do ahead of time, so I can notify my relatives. I don't want anyone to assume that we're going to continue doing the same thing as past years, and them have them pissed at me because their assumptions were wrong.

- Oct 01 08 10:11Thanks for all your ideas! Here's my plan so far...subject to revision.
Dec 24-skiing followed by Xmas Eve at church and something casual with friends.
Dec 25- Heckyl and Jeckyl open presents from Santa, breakfast at home, walk along the river, visits with relatives, dinner out with extended family (noone cooks a turkey this year).
