Are people on the forum going away for the holiday period?

Just wondering what everyone's plans are for the next few weeks. Much love and cuddles. xo

Nope not this time, I'm hanging around.

And you Biggs?

I will be driving mum and me over to Cheltenham early on Christmas Day, which is in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, where my sister and her family live. My brother and his family and other members will also be going there for Xmas Day.

Mum and I will be staying there for four or more days to mind sis' dogs, Cooper, a dalmatian and Lily, a little tiny dog which likes to sleep with sis so I guess will be sleeping with me. We're doing this cause sis and her family are going down to stay at a friend's place in Torquay, a beach suburb over on the south west coast of Melbourne. They are staying there to mind their friends dog while they fly up to Brisbane to stay with their parents for a while over Christmas.

It looks like a chain of people staying at different places to mind people's much loved furry friends.

Big wave to Gypsy and Rico. xo

Well make sure you have a fantastic time

I will stay home, as I hate getting out for the most part. I know it is a curmudgeon sounding thing, but after 30 plus years there is nothing I love more than privacy and seclusion. I have a thing about crowds, I think it relates to the 60's and I think it has to do with reincarnation and I think it has to do with the human race in general.

These are problems I am trying to understand, but it is hard to follow the pack after you know and understand the human condition, which makes you stay away from others as much as you can as you realize you can't stay away or else it harms you, damn it.

I need help.....LOL

I am pretty much with you on this one Gabe. Although mum has had me out Christmas shopping everyday for the past month, including today.

When she says...."I think we might go into such and such, and pick up a few things," then I know I am in for at least a two to three hour trip.

Have a good time Biggs,

Just getting ready to head up to the farm till sometime next week. Got my Books packed as theres no interenets up there, and most importantly the camera and tripod are packed just incase the PTB will show up in their hovering Black Triangle again like last year LOL

Have a good time off everyone and take good care !

You too mate, have a wonderful time, watch out for them there bogey's, he,he.

Big christmassy hug hon. xo

Love and peace Soma.

Nope staying at home other than visiting my dad in the nursing home. This will be the first christmas that he has not been at home for. That part could be a little tough.

Sometimes it is nice to stay at home as you know, have a great holiday mic.

I'm staying put with all the storms predicted! I'm going to sip on some hot apple cider and play in the snow.

I wish I could play in the snow....LOL the hot cider sounds good too...LOL Happy Christmas lightening to you and your family.

Me and my favorite loved ones decided to get away from it all and come up to Las Vegas for 3 days.

I am not much of a gambler but my loved ones had it in their minds that they were going to win at poker to pay for the trip.
I was wondering why they didn't come in until the morning....until they both announced that they did better than triple their money!

They said it worked out because they listened to their instincts instead of being greedy or worrying about the cards.
Needless to say....we are having a ball over here.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
