Where will YOU be on Xmas Day?



Recommended Posts

I do love our holiday! It is just the 3 - myself, husband and 25 yr old daughter. She comes over Christmas eve and we drive around and look at lights- been doing that since she was a baby- and we have some interesting conversations. She spends the night and in the morning we open presents, play with toys, watch movies all day and have a good dinner. Very restful very peaceful.

We're spending Christmas day at home so the kids can enjoy opening gifts from Santa (and I don't have to lug them to Grandma's and back!). Mother in Law dear hasn't seen me since I started this journey and if the reaction of co-workers is any indication boxing day could prove to be quite interesting. We drive to the south shore near Valleyfield (QC) and my in-laws live on a large farm (hobby one now) - they know how to throw on the food and beverage. The challenge will be how to politely say I don't have room for any more without Pbing.....

I have a Doctors appt upon return to work in January so I'm hoping to impress him with even more weight loss - we'll see.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas no matter whether it's with family or celebrating quietly. Enjoy the rest too (or if you're traveling try to catch up on some favorite activity).

Valleyfield, that's about 30 mins from where I live. My uncle lived in Valleyfield, his son, my cousin was murdered in Valleyfield probably 20 years ago. Was very sad... he was my parent's godchild. What a small world.

Wheezy,

What a small world! Where do you live? I love the area - they live closer to Ormstown and the apple orchards. I love watching the sheep in the field across the Chatequay "creek" - it cuts through their property.

I was hoping they got lots of snow for the kids - but my mom-in law says its all melted and now just muddy (I'll have to bring boots and extra clothes for them so they can play) They just had a new well dug this fall so at least Water won't be an issue.

Hope you have a great Christmas and see ya thinner in the new year.

I've lived all over Canada; I now live near Barrie. I did all my high school years in Ottawa though. My sister lives in the Metcalfe area (the town, not the street).

I live in a little town near the Quebec Ontario border. Everything is green here. Some people were playing golf last week and it went up to 12 degrees today. The weather is really weird.

No kidding.....Angel Bear and I live in the same area (smack in the middle of Ontario's "snow belt") and we have noooooo snow right now!! AND, it went up to +10 today. Yesterday, I saw eight different motorcycles on the road....UNHEARD of in these parts past the end of October let alone near the latter part of December!!!!

Love it though.....doesn't bother me one iota if we have a green Xmas. I"m trying not to get too complacent though; as I KNOW old man winter will hit us soon enough!!

Ohhhh, I know I'm gonna get hit here but....

I LOVE THE SNOW!!!

I just love the seasons. By the end of winter, then I want the hot summer, but I love the changes. Then again I live on a farm, so I'm up to my eyeballs with mud, yuck!!

But alas, burning my butt in Mexico sounds devine!!

:) 4:smokin: . sorry.

I like a little fluffy stuff now and then but the kids are dying for snow! I know we'll get it soon enough. Hopefully not before we travel to QC to visit the grandparents. I hate driving in the stuff (especially slush!)

Hope everyone is having a great week!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
