I'm thinking that North American Hivers are traveling for Thanksgiving.

Sorry I'm so quiet...I've spent the last five hours in the kitchen doing prep work for our annual feast. Brining the turkey, baking the bread that will become the stuffing, baking the pumpkin that tomorrow will be pie, rolling out pastry dough into pie shells, that sort of thing.

Oh right. Turkey day... I already forgot

Morning, Hive!

Guess it's going to be a very quiet day again, then.

Us Europeans tend to wait until Xmas for all that sort of thing.

And some of us won't bother even then . I for one don't really even celebrate christmas. Yeah, I'll buy a couple presents for my niece and GF, and maybe for one friend but that's it.

Unless my sister gets directions printed out to her fiancée's father's pad and brings them over, my mom and aren't going anywhere.

If that happens then we'll likely catch a flick and do our turkey dinner at a restaurant. Hopefully Sweet Tomatoes.

Christmas is a day the family can all count on being off so my twin brother and I go back to the parents for about 5-7days and sometimes my older brother and his wife can visit, we do the whole meal thing on Christmas with swapping of presents, we have a tradition on Christmas eve where we my parents friends come round and we all play cards, Ahh its just great, the presents don't matter so much anymore its just the good food and good company.

I had one Xmas, about 6 years ago when I was single that I celebrated with my Jewish flat-mate. Although, what with him being Jewish, he didn't actually do any celebrating.

I opened some presents, we cooked a big dinner between us and then played on the Playstation - but hey, it was a fun day.

That sounds pretty much like my kind of christmas... Well on those lucky years that I manage to avoid both my mom and mother-in-law at least. Both like to make big hassle over christmas and almost compete on who gets to invite me and GF to christmas-dinner.

This'll be the for Christmas without my Dad. I'm really missing lately.

It still feels like he is going to be coming home any day now, strolling in the front door. My mom is still a complete wreck, but I can't blame her, she was his wife. I suppose you don't truly know loss until your life mate dies.

I'm just taking it a day at a time and thankful for the time I still have left. Spending it with my fiancée, my mom, my sister and nephew every chance I get.

If my sister marries this guy there is a strong possibility she'll move away, taking my godson with her. If she moves, she'll be taking away everyone that loves him here. My mom and I will move on if that happens.

Holidays will be me and her, Mandy and the kids. I'm more than willing to bet that she is grateful for at least having two grand-daughters, if if they aren't hers by blood.

We've got into the habit of going away on a short holiday over Xmas - this year we're going to be in Florence, Italy.

Previous two years we stayed in Venice & Brugges in Belgium. Very good holidays!
