Ahahahaha.. that's right we were all over that poor new person's thread Pan. Haha.. do you think she stayed in mene?

Easty, like do you do anything special? Any thing that you do every year?

Eyria, how old is your daughter? Mine will be 6 next month ^^

My first two friends on here were Bella and someone named Lavender...I just recently started talking to Bella again she is in this thread...I don't think I've talked to lavender in forever...I don't know if she still gets on or what. :/

if it puts a smile on my babies face i'd swim with sharks while cut so it be ok

No traditions on my side. I'm actually not Christian so we don't celebrate it here. Just giving and receiving presents and the pretty decorations around town of course!

Zephi: I honestly don't think she stayed! Wahaha!

My first friend here is my real life friend and I made a couple of others. All of whom I think have disappeared >.<

my girl is 7

Oh yeah Pan.. so do you have a religion of your own. Are you.. Buddist? maybe? I have no idea....

I celebrate christmas because my family does...I just see it as part of Yule getting put on hold. :/

Wow Eyria that's cool. :) I miss my daughter and I know what you mean about you'd do anything for her.

Part of Yule?

I just wish that I could have a bit of a drink t warm my spirits Some eggnog would be cool. LOL

And yeap, I am Buddhist by birth. But I just go with whatever ^^" Today is actually a big celebration for us. Its winter solstice!

That's cool. I think that Buddism is really interesting. The teachings of Buddah. Heheh.... Winter Solstice! Awesome! Winter high five then Pan! *high five*

Yule is basically a Pagan/Wiccan holiday... It's what the Christians basically based Christmas on...a lot of the stuff is the same....there's just different deities there. And Yule is on the Winter Solstice.

We set of a chinese lantern. Ummm we all open our stockings on mum and dads bed. I make a quiz every year. : )

Easty! Whats the 'patronus'?

LOL! We just eat this round glutinous rice balls this time of the year. They are yummy! Kind of like mochi in ginger soup.

Chinese restaurants give them out free today! XD

EDIT: Patronus... that animal light thing from harry potter?

I've never had a rice ball....

But I also don't like rice... :/

That's cool Sy. I dont think that you have to be religious to appreciate the holiday season and the feeling that people get from the giving, you know?

I think that there are a lot of people who don't even know the truth about where Christmas even started and that it was a pagan holiday celebrating winter. haha... Like how... I hope there are no super religious people in here... but.. Jesus wasnt even born in Decmber it was in the summer months and when Christianity took oer they wanted all the pagans to go along with it more and relate to it so they kept the same dates for all the holidays just tried to slide in differnt meanings.

My longest post in a while :P Now I'm gonna be completely lost cause my live update stoped!

We eat rice almost everyday for meals O.o I can't imagine not liking rice. Haha but i guess all the carbs in rice is what makes us fat :P

Oh dear syra! I thought you'd know that! A patronus is something a wizard can cast to protect themselves against dementors, it's advanced magic and most wizards can only produce a silvery smoke, though, when you get good, a fully fledged patronus will take the form of an animal usually linking to the wizards soul. Patronus' can also be used to communicate. The spell is 'expecto patronum'

Harry's patronus is a stag as it links to his father who was 'prongs'

thanks for the donation by the way!

lmao

Zephi: I learnt that from The Da Vinci Code! I love those books. I could not finish the book though because I saw the movie before reading and am so upset that it did not end the same way...

Ah! I thought that was called Animagus, or something like that. But I know what you mean now ^.^

Easty... have you ever read the harry potter books? I accidentally raed a spoiler from someone and it confused me. A lot... And I haven't read the last book so everything hasn't been explained to me. *sigh* You know what I mean?

LOL! I think the donations I make re super small compared to amount I make while talking here so its alright. But I have got to go for awhile to watch NumB3rs and play my tetris today! Need me some gold for the event!

See you all in about 45 minutes if you're all still here alright?
