I hope your Christmas is just wonderful for you and family. Sending prayers and good wishes too. Have a safe one too.:)edited to include) There have been some skinny time for me and family too but, the thing that counts the most. We had each other which is more inportant than any commercial gift.:)
 
You can't say Merry Christmas too many times. I don't know if you have children, Bura fan, but for several years my wife bought our toys at thrift stores. There were a couple years we finished in the hole so I know what it's like. Our eldest son had no idea all the great stuff was second hand.

My wife always remembers the cards I drew by hand and misses them most of all.

My mother had "theme" Christmases for several years. The one I remember most fondly gave my older brother and I ping-pong guns and dart guns. Not expensive, by any means, now that I think about it, but I always get nostalgic when I remember my brother and I chasing each other through the chill grass in our bare feet.

Mom's gone now- it'll be 8 years, as of January 8th- and my brother is 40, and I'll be 32 Christmas. May it please kind fortune to bless me with children of my own, some Christmas soon.

Hold close those you love.

Burafan,
Give them love (you already know that).
Tell them the story of Christmas & what it really means.
And if that story of Christmas isn't your belief,
then tell them what Christmas means to you.
In a month they should remember that better
than any object you might give them.
And it would be better to tell them what Santa really is,
tradition,
than to say they were forgotten or overlooked.
And making something simple for them or with them
would mean a lot too.
Best.
 
The love and care you give is the greatest gift and maybe not now but the day will come when the kids will realize this. All the "things" you might have given will be long gone but not the greatest gift.
 
I agree with Bill. The love you shower upon your children and your wife is more precious than everything you can put under the Xmas tree.

For now, they may not understand it but in time they will realise it. And when they do, they will return the love they have received from you and your wife a thousand fold.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.
 
This is my first Xmas separated from my Wife , there are two trees one at the family home and one here at my place, yesterday was our wedding aniversary and I destroyed a bottle of scotch in the wee small hours and went to bed feeling sorry for myself (again) I dont think i am ever going to get over this it hurts like hell. My kids are sleepin over tonight so its been fine. I dont know why I am going on about it but seems to help ease the hurt so sorry friends I am dumping my S..t on you. One of these days I will grow up and handel it all like a man should.
Merry Xmas All. Smoke sent to those in need (Silverfox and all the others)
 
Merry Christmas all. My dad liked to give really good Christmas presents, something you really wanted, even if he had to go into debt to do it. In the really lean years, he would hand out IOU's. I would highly recommend you don't do that. I think I am still owed a bike from 30 years ago.

My grandfather tells a story about one Christmas when he was a boy, his father had drunk the Christmas money up, so he gave my grandfather an orange for Christmas. He still makes this face while looking at an imaginary orange in his hand.
 
50 years ago I spend Christmas aboard the USS Warrington. We had only a skeleton crew aboard so that we could get the ship underway should dangerous weather or threat of war come about. It was not the gifts and giving that I missed but the presence of those I loved. It was the first Christmas I'd ever spent away from home but it would not be the last.
