Well for my family it's really changed affter we all moved apart, used to have 6 people in one house, then on Christmas we all traveled to nearest relative's house where others from the family would also come, now, everyone's spread out.

So, Me and my mom travel to grandma and grandpa's on the 24th. 'bout a 2 hour drive, part of it on this SHEER CLIFF CONTAINING A HUNDRED FOOT FALL! With the road about 1 foot from the edge.
On the night of 24th we open gifts from friends.
Then on Christmas morning we all open gifts and have a dinner/lunch/breakfast, then I go off into my room and play with the new video games or watch the new movies I got untill we leave.

Can anybody else feel the seasons changing?

I woke up a while back and "felt" fall in the air. I ran into the living room and shouted..."Fall is coming!" Everybody thought I was crazy. Sure enough, the leaves turned and the temps came down out of the 100s into something more tolerable.

Recently, I ran into the living room and yelled: "I smell snow!"

My friend looked at me like I was crazy. Late that night, he came home from work and said "How do you do that!"

I said what?

He said it snowed in the mountains for the first time this year.

I told him I can smell it, I can feel the changes. I get depressed at the beginning of fall (don't know why). And as fall dies down to become winter, I can feel it approaching.

This is how I feel now! It's coming! Snuggled into my favorite blinky by the window with a hot mug of cocoa, wearing my Taz or Homer Simpson slippers, watching snow fall and reading my favorite book.

Blinking Christmas tree lights, presents, the quiet calm of the world on Christmas morning. It's like everybody is frightened and in awe by the birth of our Saviour. Everybody knows it's a holy day.

I'm gonna break out my little lighted Christmas village today!
