Festive Floof! Decorating the death shield!
Comments (17)A fog machine would be really neat! They are motion activated when someone enters. Do you seasonally decorate your home too? Hmm what about a Polar Express type scene? The portions could be windows in a train car? I don't think we've seen Easter or Valentines from our office! Nice smelling seasonal candles on a candle warmer instead of an open flame might works....See MoreFloof! Which one are you?
Comments (19)I was Frosty once as a wee kid in the school play. Pretty sure that don't count, I rarely feel like a Frosty. Sometimes I feel like a General Waverly. Sometimes I'm a Mr. Green, on occasion a Mrs. Talbot. I've had McClane moments at my In-laws :) And sometimes when the snow is right, I'm a Kim....See MoreFloof! Odd sources of nostalgia....
Comments (18)Not to sidetrack this fun thread, but I guess I will anyways. Forgive me. hallingarden wrote: Marilyn _c ,you and Jody were a quite a beautiful couple, love the way you were looking over at Jody. Thanks for postings ,knew you were a beautiful lady , should have known a handsome man was there beside you. May he Rest In Peace now. You are a strong hardworking lady. I smiled not only at Marilyn's photo above, but hallingarden's comment made me think about how there was a time on here a while back Marilyn posted a photo of herself saying something to effect that it was taken a couple years back, she may have been at a laundromat of all places (not sure if I remembered that correct or not), but I said, Wow! When I grow up, I want to look like Marilyn. Very pretty lady. My condolences to Marilyn. Hugs. Back on track, and thanks to Lars for the memory trigger regarding olfactory; when I smell guava or day old white bread or leftover spaghetti, it brings right back to my beloved nursery school. We must of had lots of those things to eat there. It's like being snapped up into a time machine....See MoreFestive floof! Celebrating then and now.
Comments (8)I liked Christmas as a child, but once I became an adult, it was more stressful than anything else, and my mother took it too seriously. She felt compelled to have everyone together for Christmas, and this became more difficult when the family got larger and had other places to go. I left home at 18, and so after that, I returned as a guest. I have no holiday traditions of my own, although I used to celebrate the summer solstice when I lived in Venice, as that was a good time to have a party there. When I did visit my parents for Christmas and/or Thanksgiving, I would do much of the cooking, partly because my mother did not like to do it and partly because I was better at it, and my nieces especially appreciated it. I found exchanging gifts to be more stressful than enjoyable, and so I did not like that as an adult. We sometimes played board games, and I did enjoy that. As a child, we alternated having Christmas at my parents' house and at my maternal grandparents' house. My mother was an only child, and so her parents were always with us at holidays. My father had two older brothers and an older sister, and we never celebrated any holidays with them. His sister had moved to New Mexico, and we almost never saw her at all. His two brothers had married two sisters, and so they were very close to each other but not to us. Since their children were double first cousins, they were much like one family (and closer to each other in ages). My father's family was not big on Christmas, partly because his sister had converted to Jehovah's Witness (because of her husband), and she had converted my grandmother. I believe that JWs do not celebrate Christmas, as I remember, but my grandmother was not the typical JW. In fact, being inventive (with a couple of patents under her belt), she had created her own version of the religion, probably from her imagination, which was far from conventional. No one knew where she got her ideas, but she did enjoy going out and witnessing. However, when the other JWs found out what she was telling others, they tried to get her to stop witnessing, but to no avail. I was told not to listen to my grandmother because she was "off her rocker," but I found her stories entertaining and imaginative. My grandmother owned the waterworks in town because my grandfather (who died before I was born) and his father had dug a bunch of artesian wells, and so the people in town pretty much had to put up with her, even though they thought she was a bit crazy. She never forced people to pay their water bills, and so my father had to do that for her. She thought water should be free. Anyway, my father's side of the family did not celebrate Christmas in a conventional way....See More
