I agree- online shopping!!! so much is free shipping these days.. and if it isn't , it is still cheaper than gas, parking, walking and the exhaustion that may follow!

I take the kids to do Santa and other things during the less crowded times too (or at least that's what I try to do)...

It is almost one year ago from the time I got admitted into the hospital - i got out on Christmas Eve!!! what an awful, terrifying time it was... I couldn't hold silverware, cut food, or even suck through a straw (I remember my hubby gave me these nalgeen bottles with a straw.. and I cried that I couldn't suck water up them)! So, this year is a big reality check on the - wow.. i am SOOOO much better- physically and mentally than I was a year ago! It's hard to think back on those times!

I sit more often when I am socializing with people.. and have to make a pretty big effort to try and get my face to smile and my eyes to look not intoxicated/half closed in pictures! :-0!

I do love the holidays!

Mike - those ailments that used to be so innocent before MG can suddenly be so treacherous now. Get well very soon...
Goodness bny806! ......Wishing you a less ´eventful´ holiday season this time round.
And glad you say you are feeling much better this year

I knew infections were very bad for us but I try to be extra careful. Guess where I caught it. In the Dr's office getting skin cancers removed. They told me when I went back to get stitches removed they said everyone in the office was infected!!!! I now have face masks to wear in populated areas and the heck to what everyone thinks.
