Christmas........


I know it's 82 days until Christmas...but a lot of people start their shopping early...

Every year I tell myself I'm cutting down, but end up spending way too much...

I'm curious to see who really has cut down...who will have to begin cutting down this year...who still splurges and worries about it later...

I think we (speaking for my family) need to bring back some traditions from years past...simplify things...anyone have any that they still hold on to today?...Growing up, we were sometimes "curious" (okay, sneaky) ...my mom resorted to different tactics each year to deter us... from numbering our packages to having 4 big boxes under the tree, one for each of us kids...our gifts were all wrapped inside the big box...

My kids are grown now, so all they have on their list is cash...it's easy but that's not a gift...

Enlighten me...whats on the agenda for this Christmas?

I have a thought that often runs through my mind.  I decided to throw it out there and see if anyone else has ever felt the same way...

Do you ever feel like you were born to live somewhere else?

Why do you live where you live? What influenced you to put down roots where you are today?

So many where I'm from were born and raised here, stayed in the area and built their lives from there.  Some go away to college and live where ever their careers take them.  Some people are transferred because of their job. 

I have always felt that I belong on the Gulf.  I'm a beach bum :-)...Whenever I'm there it's the greatest feeling in the world to me. I never tire of it.  You've heard the old saying "it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"...well, I want to live there lol...I've spent most of my years as a frequent visitor of the coast. Why is it "vacation" and not my residence? Because I was one that built my life where I was raised.  I encouraged my kids to go away to college for many reasons but one in particular was to experience whats out there, new places.

Where do you feel you were born to live or are you happy right where you're at?
