This is a good point! It's definitely a great time to display kindness and generosity!I agree. But at the same time I look forward to it because it's the one chance I have besides giving flowers, in reaching out to neighbors and coworkers and friends that are very far. I also love that there is one part of the year that it's okay to talk about Christian things without retaliation. I can even give someone at work that's Jewish or Muslim a Christmas card and it's accepted as a kind act.
Yesterday I gave someone who is a supervisor over a crew a Christmas card and said to him I know you're Jewish but she'll accept this. He opened the card and it said let it snow. He said no oOoOO, it was a humorous attempt since we are all on call for snow plowing. There are fun things that bring everyone together with some humor like the white elephant gift exchange too. I know these get away from the birth of Christ, but I think that there is still something good about all these things and I can't think of any other time of year that we get an excuse to do these things.
On my mind: today's to do list. I called days like these by Tasmanian devil speed cleaning and getting things ready days.

Why go through the trouble. I have a very simple tactic. Just ask someone to marry you straight up. It saves a lot of time, money and hassle.On my mind...sign up for $4.99 deal for a month with an online dating app. Deadline is approaching.

Yeah I've gone back and forth on online dating. I think it can be a great thing if utilized correctly.True! Sometimes I think the same. I had taken more than a week off online dating.. it is kind of an emotional roller coaster. Crazy all the guys in some places that immediately like my profile, but later on they disappear like ghost when they see what my profile says. The name of Jesus scares a lot of guys.
I've just had much better luck with online dating than I have in my local area. I've also been able to experience lifestyles I've never been exposed to in my current circles, that doesn't mean that won't change in the future. Online dating has been kind of like a reforming of my mind and how I interact with others. It's definitely opened up doors in friendships in ways that I hadn't experienced before. Positive growth. Online dating is not for everyone, as I have seen with friends. Unfortunate to have a gift of discernment, but at the same time that doesn't mean that I have attractions I shouldn't.
Working 12 hour days 6 days a week all month. December usually very busy for us but this year is the worst I've seen it. Government passed some laws in our industry plus we're making some vendor changes in addition to all the other December busy time.
How do you folks who do that regularly (if not more hours then that) switch your brain to Rest Mode in the evening? My brain has been 'go go go' all week now I want it to rest right now, just watch some DVDs & relax. Only plus is I was able to wrap all my Christmas presents in one sitting.
Right now it's the opposite. My brain is pumping.You must be so exhausted. I don't know how you do it.
Hello! I'm doing well. How are you?

Especially the steel mills. Many people that work jobs like that, unfortunately retire and don't make it much more in life after.
