Thats great - everyone who gets to spend xmas, new year with their SO. I just bought a 2' xmas tree with lights and decorations. I am going to send it to Daniel so he can have a xmas in Iraq and I will put up our tree in our house here (if I can get it down from the attic). I hope he can atleast come for a few days when the baby is born to take care of things coz my family is not here and he doesn't have much family except grandparents who are really old, but I can't even count on that :unsure: It will just suck to be alone when having the baby not to say scary too Edited by DanielParul

If I get through POE, yes..

I hope all goes well for you at the POE.

Nope, I can't afford to fly to Bahrain and Tom can't fly here as he's not allowed leave. He won't even get Christmas Day off. Oh well, roll on February.

I hope you have family around to help make the holidays a little easier on the heart!

Christmas came early for me.

Best present I have ever rec'd.

Life has been great. We went out picked her out her first coat this week.

I am glad things are going great for you both. Hope you have a lovely holiday season!

I was going to go to Wisconsin to spend Christmas with my honey, but it turns out a ticket to come to me would be cheaper. So yesterday I bought my honey a ticket so we can spend Christmas together. Our first real Christmas together. Even though we've been together about two years, this will be the first one with both of us in the same country! I am so looking forward to it. :dance: I pick him up on the 23rd at 11 pm. Anyone else lucky enough to be able to visit their sweetie's for the holidays? :unsure: For those of you who can't my thoughts with be with all of you! Take care all.

How nice for you! Gene and I had a LDR for 4 years before we got the K-1. A month before I moved down here, we spent our first Christmas together! How lovely for you! Have fun!

I hope you have a lovely holiday as well. Its coming quick!

After 11 years of communication this will be our first Christmas together!!! We've done new year's and just about every other holiday but never Christmas. Looking forward to it very much!!

I hope the holidays are everything you dreamed of, being with your sweetie.

We will celebrate our Christmas in Las Vegas where my inlaws reside.

My mother inlaw told me that she wants her children and daughter/son inlaws around her on Christmas day. If I go to her house.. she doesn't want me to help doing something. waaaaaaaaaa!
