Re: If I could have you all at my house for Christmas....

Oh, crazy, that sounds better than good, it sounds just heavenly.

Maybe some Christmas that could happen for you and some lucky KOs

in your area: you could all get together for a pd-free holiday.

How lovely.

It would be lovely - kinda like the " orphans christmas " we used to organise at

uni for kids who didnt get to go home for christmas. Whatever would cheer them

up and distract them from being alone and sad at that time of year.

If there are any KOs on the board from Perth Aus, Id be happy to do some sort of

christmas get-together with you! Unfortunately I havent been able to find a

local KO group to join, otherwise I would definitely do this, or even a " boxing

day KO christmas recovery " party - something to look forward to if they were

stuck with family on christmas day itself.

Im lucky that my partners family have organised a lovely christmas day for me to

be part of this year, I cant wait. Ill see some of my family christmas eve, but

at least I have mt partners family to look forward to (they pretty much do

exactly what I descibed in the original post).

I love it! thank you! I'll be Santa, I love to dress up - as ANYTHING!

As for Boxing Day my friends and I are doing a crazy boxing day party - they

are my real family, and we want to celebrate together. And the man in the

couple is Brittish so that will be extra fun. We are going to make

gingerbread houses - not the regular kind, but cut our own shapes and

decorate them. I imagine my friend will do a dance studio, her hubbie a

music studio, I will do a barn that I live in with 10 llamas and 15 dogs, 2

birds and a snake and who knows what my honey will do - maybe a picasso

painting he loves best, him.

XOXO guys, serious lets make this a good Christmas in whatever way we can.
