We all know the only way this will happen is if the american government turns to be a dictatorship and forces all to get vaccinated which will cause an all out war.

You have polio? Smallpox? Every child in the US have been forced to be vaccinated for those, no one complained about that. People need to grow up. Then we can get back to normal.

When the holidays come, just be mindful, and proud of the fact you are working a program. Though we’ve never met, nor are we likely to but know this. I AM PROUD OF YOU.

My adult child has finally come through, after several cycles. I will NEVER give up on anyone with this problem. It is a hard road, but you have a brain and willpower. The drug doesn;t care about you at all, why give it your self worth, your job, your loved ones, and your life? You can learn other coping mechanisms,,go to meetings,

I totally get this. Give your mom big hugs from me and let her know that she’s not alone. I struggle with multiple chronic diseases too. I’m 55 and have been fighting this stuff to some degree since I was 19. We’re keeping the holidays low stress, or trying to, and that helps my pain levels to some degree. So does the weighted blanket I got for Christmas last year! Snuggling with my service dog or our kitties. Hanging out with my daughter. Little things that bring joy and help ease the pain.

Your wish touched me. I've been coping with a chronic pain syndrome for three decades & am legally disabled. You need to know that "life" is not supposed to be "fair". Each of us has different strengths, talents, experiences, temperament, and opportunities. The challenges we face are unique, but each of us absolutely faces them. It has nothing to do with life being "fair" or people "deserving" a harder or easier life. It's just the way it is. You're a wonderfully empathetic person and have a compassionate heart. That will serve you well in life & you'll have the ability to make a powerfully positive impact on others. But don't get bogged down with life being "fair" or not as that leads to bitterness...and bitterness kills the soul soul.soul.soulspi

One reason that some women are viewed as "babymakers" stems from the fact that they don't seem to have the self worth to choose sexual partners who are responsible enough to stick around and be daddys to their babies, So many children are growing up without a father in the home, Grandparents are also raising too many of their Grandchildren.

Let’s get the word out to scrap the presents and the outrageous decor and the gazillions of half eaten meals and just remember that Jesus taught us to address god as father, that he wants us to realize we’re all one, that he came not as a violent supergod with hail and brimstone but as a baby, that he lived through mortal pain, fear and death to explain to us that death is not the end and that our mediocrity and our half arsed attempts at altruism have been mercifully pardoned.

Excess and greed exist with or without a holiday, be it Christmas or any other. And the spiritual aspect of Christmas is actually beautiful; the celebration of life, of hope, of perseverance during difficult times. The materialism you eschew is more prevalent in the American culture than other cultures which celebrate Christmas. But you already have the power to make YOUR Christmas (or any other holiday) experience be exactly what you want it to be-so make it happen! I bet you'll find others who feel the same way you do!

24th December: Before leaving for work, a small bronze turkey goes in the oven. Cooking it low and slow. Get home from work about 5pm (getting out early this year), check it's done before letting it rest. Take the dogs for a walk. 6pm Stock up the feed for donkeys, ponies, goats, Chickens and ducks. 7pm Order a take-away (Chinese) & feed the dogs their turkey (Not to much, it's got to be balanced with their usual feed otherwise things get messy). Eat dinner once it's arrived and chill out by the fire with a Parisian style hot chocolate and a film. 11pm Norfolk Black Turkey goes in the oven and I go off to bed. 25th December: 6am Christmas morning starts with Kippers, scrambled eggs and toast before a nice long dog walk. 9am Give the wife her present before calling me mam. 10am Go into the kitchen to make a start on the full Irish Christmas dinner. 3pm Dinner is served, followed by pudding, followed by a glass of Amarula on ice plonked down on the sofa with the wife & dogs (A bit of luck, the yule log should still be burning). 7pm Put my soda bread rolls in the oven and take the dogs for another walk, before sharing some cold meat, stuffing & bread sauce inside some nice warm rolls. Then it's just spending time relaxing with the wife. Who knows? maybe another film or some nostalgic TV show, maybe even just chatting all night.

Good luck to you and that little boy. That is such a blessing to be able to give a child a home, I hope and pray that you are able to pick him up by the holidays.

This probably won’t mean anything to many of you Panda addicts but to me this was what made it Christmas. Mathers Black Beer, 8% abv which was meant to be diluted with lemonade, hot milk or added to a tot of whiskey. We only bought it at Christmas and we could have the first of many glasses of black beer and lemonade (a Sheffield Stout) during the evening on Christmas Eve. Mathers was killed off by the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer when he re-classified it as an alcoholic beverage, not a mixer so VAT was payable. This made it unprofitable to produce (made in Huddersfield) as a batch was only made once a year. Captain Cook took a supply of black beer on his voyages and set up a processing plant on New Zealand so that his crew would have a source of vitamin c to keep them healthy. During WWII Winston Churchill understood the value and use of black beer especially for miners and insisted that it was not rationed. There is nothing that can recapture the taste and memories of good Christmas times than Mathers Black Beer. And the owners won’t sell the recipe - I’ve tried.

To be completely honest… to know that the man abusing me has died. It would put an end to fear, anxiety, PTSD and the exacerbation of fibromyalgia, EDS & ASD. I could have my life back.

Honestly, not sure why this comment is being downvoted. We don't know what your situation is and for all we know, perhaps you never get any presents. And even if you do, there's nothing wrong with making such an innocent comment. I restate what I said below - I hope you get something really cool that you get to enjoy!

If friends who have kids waiting for emergency inpatient psych beds didn't have to wait 50-60 days in the ER. Before the pandemic, the usual wait was a mere 1-2 weeks. Can you imagine having to wait 50 days before they treated a broken arm?

Cancelling Christmas. It has become a huge commercialism, capitalist, anti environment dream of lies. Give me the day off, let me spend time with my kids without any of the pressure and guilt of “if you don’t make it magical your kids lives will be ruined”. Christmas is exhausting and miserable

Hey, are you ok? If you are having thoughts like this you should definitely talk to someone. I went through something similar, it really helps to talk, even if it's just someone online.

These are all really sad (most coming from the so-called "richest nation on earth"), Yet they are brainwashed into truly believing that capitalism is the ONLY way and you are merely temporarily financially embarrassed prior to being millionaires. 😂

I wish I could find an employee who is as good as I am so I could hire my way out of having to run everything alone. Then I’d have more time for my favorite holiday. Or maybe just more money to add to my goals.
