Are you getting ready for Christmas ? I just bought a 6.5 foot
Christmas Tree, it's standing next to the fireplace. I think I'll
Start decorating the day after my second eye surgery 11/13th.

Cheers.....Joe.....

I put my tree up after Thanksgiving, too. I don't want to look at it for more than a month.

Shopping will be easy for me this year. My younger kid wants to go on a school trip to London and Paris this summer, so that will be her gift. And I'll just deposit some extra money in my college kid's bank account to spend in China on what she wants. I've already learned not to mail packages there. Very expensive and they don't arrive.

LC.

You are an empty-nester. I hated that and I think we are going to be that way this year too.

Christmas is most fun when the kids are here.

No, not an empty nester yet. My younger daughter is still in high school and the house is usually filled with her friends. And my older one will be coming back after a year in China to finish college, which isn't far from where we live.

I don't think I'll hate that stage, anyhow. Everyone I know actually enjoys their "freedom."

It took us some gettiing used to .

This will be our first time away from our kids, but Mother-in-law is 90 and we don't want to leave her, plus I am still recovering from surgery.

I wrote a profound post here, but it vanished when I hit "send." It had to do with the difference in my attitude after the oldest left from when the youngest did. And then the oldest moved back in for a couple of months with her future husband in tow. When they finally found an apartment, I helped them move.

Joe, is it OK if I focus on Thanksgiving this month and wait until December to do Christmas?

Ann,

Can you redo it? It sounds great.

I doubt it. That's what happens when you hit 65 and older.
