What about Christmas?

[al from Canada]

I'm sure that most of you, like myself, are feeling kinda burnt-out, sick of this cancer crap, talking about molecular targets, thinking about relaspses....

I must say that I've never been disappointed in by any aspect of this site. As well, everytime we get a new member, our global friendships expand a whole lot more because everyone of you is so important to each and everyone of us.

Sooo, let's take the focus off the big "C" and share christmas plans....I'll start:

Being of European (Austrian, aka Arnold) decent, we have always celebrated Christmas on the 24th. This make life almost simple because we see my family on the 24th and Linda's on the 25th. This year we are hosting BOTH (I almost lost my breath) families!! That's OK because I love cooking, have always done most of it, and it is easier for me to be pre-occupied with basting a turkey or making chicken schnitzel, than deep conversations with our guests; some I see only once or twice / year. We used to go to Vermont skiing but that sort of died 3 years ago. That said, skiing will be rejuvenated in January or February in Whistler B.C.

Christmas has always been far more important to Linda and the kids than myself but that's probably the best reason to have a good time FYI: Linda was Christmas shopping last July, sick but true.

stay out of stress,
Al
