Go inside a supermarket, get a coffee in a McDonalds or Starbucks, so on. There's people out there, quite a few actually, but everything is quite, no one's talking and there's hussle or bussle, you almost get a zombie like impression. |

User ID: 66333872 United States 12/24/2014 09:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope that everyone has the most wonderful Christmas time, enjoy the moment wherever you are, find peace in knowing that whatever task is at hand, that in the end it is in the Creators hands. Let peace wash over you like a flowing wave of energy. May you snuggle beneath the covers tonight and find an inner peace that is greater than any physical gift, or words spoken. I hope you find your favorite Christmas moment placed forever in time and relish that moment as if it is happening to you tonight all over again. Remember the laughter, and the joy of loved ones, and take heart in the most simple of comforts as a blessing that others might not even have. Godbless you all, and to all a good night. |

My husband and I had our 1st Annual Christmas Eve lunch at a nice place with a great wait person. He was cheerful and energetic and professional. Our bill was $37 and left a $50 tip. It felt great. Well, the Martini probably helped!! Merry Christmas!! |

Quoting: CowgirlK These folks are busy keeping everything running smoothly so the rest of us can enjoy the Holidays. Thank You to: Our Military who keep watch so we can sleep soundly in our beds at night Law Enforcement Emergency Dispatchers Fire Department Hospital Employees Airline/Airport Employees/Air Traffic Controllers Retail Workers Fast Food Workers Network Administrators Truckers/UPS/FedEx/US Mail/Taxi/Ship Captains/Snow Plow drivers – Anyone involved in transportation Casino workers Utility Workers/Power and Water Nursing Home Employees Hotel Employees – If it wasn’t for the Inn Keeper walking Mary and Joseph to the stable, Jesus might have been born on the side of the road. Cell Phone Tower Climbers Locksmiths AAA guys Tow truck Drivers And lets not forget the GLP Mods! I’m sure there are many other occupations that I have missed, but I just want to say THANK YOU to the people who keep the train rolling down the tracks for the rest of us over the Holidays! Not cool to add in the pigs with all those decent, hard working people. |

Yes, Police are unsung heroes too for working on the Holidays. They would much rather be home with their families or hanging out posting on GLP just like you. God Bless you and Merry Christmas. |

(OP) User ID: 59948382 United States 12/24/2014 11:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank You! All of my immediate family work in the Hotel/Hospitality industry. We have not been able to spend a single holiday together in years because Hotels never close their doors. This year, the first weekend in December, we celebrated "Thanksbirmass". It was a Thanksgiving, Birthdays and Christmas all wrapped into one. It was so much fun, we might make it a family tradition. LOL |

My last Christmas at home was in 2002. I don't mind anymore, but its nice when people acknowledge the fact that you gave up your family time so they could enjoy their families. Merry Christmas!
