For Us Sentimental Fools!

To EVERYONE at ATS...I wish for you health, moments of contentment, and improved life circumstances.

I love Christmas! The trees, the multicolor lights...good Christmas memories from when I was growing up.

I have noticed a change in myself over the years. When I was younger I wanted to get as many gifts as possible...now that I am older I have more fun giving gifts.

I think it is wonderful that we all have a place like ATS to come to; when I think about it...ATS is a daily gift to all of us!

Ok...you other sentimental fools...what say you.

I say a hearty Merry Christmas, and a prosperous and peaceful new year to you, your family, your friends, and to all of us here ATS!

God bless us every single one!

Hey...I like our style...now if world peace would only happen...yeah I know...I'm dreaming again.

I can do without all the commercialization, but I truly enjoy seeing my kid's eyes light up on Christmas morning. To all of you on ATS and the people of the world, Merry Christmas. I hope you get what you want this year.
And to those who have made this a miserable world to live in, I hope you get what you deserve.

Well, it IS Christmas soon.

If ever there was a time for dreaming, for hoping, and for positivity toward ones fellow human beings, this is it!

Very well said...I also enjoy being with my loved ones and making memories that are good...sitting at a table and eating a meal together; sharing stories of our various lives...that means to much to me.

I'm the Grinch. I'm giving frozen, aged, grass fed, organic beef to my close relatives for Christmas. They can count on getting large dark red coal like chunks of rock in their stockings.

So much for promoting consumerism. My gifts are too practical for Christmas presents.

I have friends who like to get cleaning products for gifts...sooooo I oblige.

I personally like practical gifts...in this economy...they make sense to me.

A very Merry Christmas to you and yours and to all of our ATS family!

This always gets me.

Jeez, that was so touching I got all choked up! Beautiful!

If being a sentimental fool is wrong, I don't wanna be right.



... and happy festivus to the rest of us.


Peace, love, health, and happiness to each and everyone.

Good idea for a thread!

To the good, the bad, the mad and the sad around here...Merry Christmas!! For the 'ask the universe' guys, I'm asking for 10% more happiness next year for everyone reading this post.

I just read some meme that Christmas is a great conspiracy for giving so many people a reason to smile at each other once a year. Isn't that a nice way of looking at it?

This made me smile too >>
