I've been noticing the forums are a little empty lately, and it's not even Christmas yet. Are people busy shopping? Yeah, maybe that's it. Also, I know a lot of people here go to school, so maybe it's finals week. Ah, well. The door is open and ready for you when you come back!

I'm getting crushed between doing portraits (last minute natch)
and running my eBay store during the busy time.

Just about all forums are usually a little slow at this time of year.

Yep, this is the time of year when real-life gets real busy for most people.

shopping, panic, stress

......Kids, families, food, churches, dinners, cleanup, exhaustion....Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Ditto to all of the above.

In the past fortnight I have also had 4 family birthday celebrations to attend:- a 5th, An 18th, a 40th and a 60th.

So I have just started to get into Christmas panic mode, as in OMG only 9 days left.

I was a little busy myself. Haven't been able to check out my forums all weekend. I had to work Saturday, than there was this concert at the youth house I attended. So I came home from work and immediately went to the youth house, stayed there until 2 in the morning, slept in on Sunday and than I had to work on Sunday afternoon as I'm supposed to every two Sundays. Last night I had to gain in on a few shows I taped than went back to the youth house till half past midnight, back to bed and had to work from 9 am till 7 pm tonight. Since I work I clearly have less time to do these kind of things, checking out forums and such. And than the winter sales are coming up in January. That's going to be a real war to fight out. It's quite hectic and chaotic than at work so I'm not sure if I'll have much time to be here in January. So I'll probably be offline for many days than. Many days in a row or many days divided over the month. I don't know.

Right now, it's pretty boring at the store. Because everything is done, now it's just waiting for the winter sales. I expect one more hiccup of hecticism for Christmas but after Christmas it's going to be boring as hell there until after New Year's.

we're expecting a surge of sales after Christmas.
Trying to get stuff into my store before that.

Not realy busy for the holidays, just a little depressed (as I get at this time of year.)My parents and brother and I used to celebrate Christmas, but now my immediate family is gone and my Aunt's church dosent celebrate Christmas so we dont decorate and make a big deal of it anymore.

But I do want to wish all of you here a Very Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year! (or a very Joyous Holiday Season. Sorry, Im not politicaly correct on a lot of things...)

Love and Hugs to all who read this!!

I've had a major lack of internet access throughout the year - which has been driving me completely crazy!!! I now have that all sorted out, and everyone can expect to see me haunting MOL (making up for lost time!).

I can't believe that Christmas is so very, very close!!

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!!!
