    Last day at work for the year - then 5 weeks off

    Do you/ have you built up images of the posters on this site, and does it include what each/some of us look like in your minds eye?

    I guess so. I do know what a few around here look like and visa versa. But for those who I have not seen, I have a certain image I guess. Its a natural thing to do.

    If you had 5 weeks off. What would/are you doing with it?

    Pack a few things and run to the sea. Just by myself. Just me and the sea. No family, no friends, no guys to break my heart. No phone, TV, internet....... No problems. Just me and the sea......

    When will you decorate the Christmas tree?

    That's great news! Have a nice holiday!
    Good idea to take both guitars. Watching the stars by yourself icould become boring.

    PS Don't forget to take photos for the photography thread.

    I want my old family back and my old house to smell again of "sarmale" and fresh baked 'cozonac" ( for schmenke- it's the Romanian kind of panettone ). I want to have a good voice and sing the wonderful Romanian carols which are the best in the world while decorating a tall natural Christmas tree. Then I'd like to find many gifts under the tree and to be surprised with nice things and I'd like that the presents I offer would be appreciated by the others. And I'd like to come on the forum and find that my Inbox is full of greetings from my friends.
    And I'd like to......etc.etc. Nonsense......

    Now that I just woke up from my Christmas dream, I ask the same Q

    Enjoying the holiday with my family, with warm smiles on my kids’ faces. Visiting friends or having them visiting. Enjoying skiing, skating and having fun outdoors.
    I don’t need gifts under a tree to have a memorable holiday.


    Do you think we should stop talking about Christmas as Storm is starting to feel left out?

    Probably. I don't really want any things other than to enjoy life. My wife and I have too much "stuff" already.

    Here's a Christmas list for all on the thread, which will you choose or will you do something different?
    Call a friend you haven't seen in a while and say "hello".
    Do a favor for someone you meet at random.
    Watch a friend's kids so they can have a night out.
    Sit and talk for a few hours with a relative, friend or whatever who's elderly or sick.
    Next time you're at a drive through restaurant, pay for the person in line behind you.
    What can you think of?
