Christmas

[belgareth]

Tomorrow is likely to be a

busy day for me, lots to do before Christmas day. I want to take a moment and wish everybody here a Merry

Christmas.

Best wishes to all!

[Bruce]

Merry Christmas to you too Bel. I

took my two boys to the local mall this morning and did the very last of our Christmas shopping (I think).



What sort of plans does everyone have, anyhow? We will be at home with our own little tribe, my wife and 2

boys. My wife is having a baby any time now. It/she was supposed to be born on the 22nd (yesterday), but seems

determined to be born on Christmas day. I'm just trying to go about my normal activities and stay

calm.

How about y'all?

Peace and Love to Everyone!

Hopefully she will be born on the

24th, so she doesn't spend the rest of her life getting robbed out of presents!!!

Tomorrow after I give out

bonuses and close the office Jess and I will be cleaning house and preparing for company. My daughters have all

elected to spend Christmas morning with me, including my grandkids . Then in the afternoon on Christmas day a

number of our friends will be stopping in. I've also invited my employees to stop by with their families but don't

expect more than about half of them at most. But there will be food, gifts, drinks and merriment for everybody that

shows up.

Yeah, later would be OK too. The

midwife said the 22nd, but the first ultrasound calculator said the 31st. Quite a gap there.

Either way, best of luck!

My best wishes to you and your wife on your new one!

It's been 24 years since I last watched my wife give birth. A truely sacred and transformative experience.




Happy Holiday to everyone - no matter _what_ they are giving birth to these days .

I've been off work for

a couple of days - I'm mixing down tracks for our (Off the Cuff - my country band) new demo. I plan to spend the

holiday feeding and playing music with my gf (who has her own band, Barnstorm). Two bands with two schedules - it's

rare that both of us are off - I am going to enjoy every minute of it.

I love Christmas, some people can't

get beyond the commercial aspect but I look at Christmas in simplistic terms just like when I was a

kid.

Merry Christmas,

Love-Scenters! Thanks for helping make my year special!

Today I saw my daughter off at the airport; and tonight

I'm flying to visit my other family in the snowy midwest.

Have a warm, peaceful Christmas, everyone.

May

everything go smoothly, Bruce! Please give us the good news when it does!

[CptKipling]

Merry Christmas everyone!



It's going to be mad in my house from tomorrow 'till new years, lots of family all crowded in. Here's wishing

happiness and mirth for everyone, with a special mention for Bruce's little one, whenever it decides to turn up!

[Knuuttipukki]

Merry Christmas everyone.

[nbnbtc]

Merry Christmas all! I guess I

shouldn't be so surprised, but before now I hadn't realized that so many forum members were married/had kids/had

grandkids.

Bruce, best wishes to you and your family and your forthcoming love-scented baby!!!

Ladies and Gents,

It was twenty

years ago today that I first sang "Happy Birthday" to my oldest daughter Kate in the delivery room. Over the years

she has never been slighted on gifts for having her birthday fall on Christmas Eve. If anything I believe we've

overcompensated to try not to allow her birthday to be overshadowed or merged into our celebration of Christmas.


Two big days that just happen to fall back to back.

Merry Christmas to All!

Last night my wife woke me up at 3

AM (about 4 hours ago PST)
She: Ima nan ji, kana... (I wonder what time it is)
Me: Um.... I don't know.

Why, is something happening?
She: mmm (yes)
Me: Should I call the midwife?
She: Mada (not yet)
Me: Well

wake me up when it's time.
After 2 hours sleep, my 9 year old wakes me up all dressed to go out
Him: Dad,

let's go buy a hermit crab (for his little brother)
Me: What time is it
Him: 6:30
Me: Dude, the store

doesn't open until 9.
Him: Well, let's leave now.
Me: Mom might be having the baby now.
Now everybody is

sleeping and I'm answering email. :-)
Wait. I hear someone stirring.

Updates forthcoming. Christmas

eve; it's a good day to have a baby.

Eric,
I spent a Christmas in Taiwan a long while ago. I had to work

I think. Can't remember what I did the rest of the day; maybe nothing special. I didn't have any friends or

family much in those days.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Still no new baby. Had a blissful Christmas eve and morning though. A birthday today would be fine with

me.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the support.

Peace Love and Merry Christmas,
