Going out in the snow Christmas morning with my brother to feed the horses. The crunch of the snow under foot, the still and the quiet of that moment where it seems like no one else in the world is up except for you. The tingling cold air in your nose - you know, the kind that hurts when you breathe? Running as fast as we could to get to the warmth of the barn.

The horses breathing steam and nuckering and stamping for breakfast. Breaking the ice off of the water troughs.

Trying to do everything that much faster, but somehow it all feeling that much more special. Working side by side with my brother and neither one of us saying a word but the silence is companionable, comforting, connected.

Then running back to the house and stepping into the warmth with the smell of Christmas in the air. The fresh coffee brewing, the pine tree, happy voices of my family, dogs barking (there are always 6 or so), bacon cooking. Orange juice and champagne!!

We don't have the horses anymore. But we still get together... all of us, my mum and brother and sister and our kids and partners (lifetime or of the moment). We get together from Christmas Eve day through to Boxing Day. Our lives are busy through the rest of the year, but this is the time to stop everything and enjoy being with each other. To, if this doesn't sound corny, to celebrate having a family you would actually pick to be your own.

I wish everyone a truly special moment with their families this year. May this year be part of the good memories you will love to look back on.

Mine is kinda weird. I really going out early afternoon after a a good lunch of leftovers and going for a bikeride (now a drive). The roads are empty and as hockeymom said, its almost like you are the only person in the world.

Mines gotta be when I got a new bike, took it out for a spin and when I was coming back I took to the brakes (not noing they were that good) went over the handle bars and dented my GrandPa's car. :D

Probably the morning I came downstairs, looked behind the desk, and found an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle. Best Christmas ever.

how about we refrain from the personal attacks, I don't think this is the direction any of us wants the thread to go

I agree,

Now lets sing a carol

next person to post, post another line of the song,

Rudolf the red nose raindeer...

Christmas just doesn't seem special anymore. When I was little, I used to count the days, hours, minutes and seconds from, it seems like, Halloween, all the way to Zero Hour. Now, though, it's a different story - I almost can't wait to get it over with. If I could go without Christmas, I think I would. Bah humbug.

I loved the Christmases when I was younger (until I was about 13) - when my little brother would wake everyone up at 6:30 in the morning, and I would sit on the couch, half-asleep, and open any present handed to me. After we were done opening presents, I would put my skates on, go outside and skate on the rink I had in my backyard until I was called in for breakfast. After eating (in my skates), I'd immediately head back outside and play and play until the ice just couldn't take it anymore. If it was really cold, my dad would throw another layer down and I would have to wait a little while for it to freeze - otherwise he and I would hop in the car and he would drive me to Outwater Park in Lockport, where I went to embarrass all the older kids. Eventually, we'd head home for Christmas dinner.

I knew it was a good Christmas if I had a hint of frost bite anywhere on my body to remember it by.

The last few years have all been spent at tournaments, and I find it really hard to get in the spirit of the season when I'm tired and sore and more concerned with winning the next game than I am with what I am getting or if my family/friends will be pleased with what I got them.

Given a choice, I'd rather be worried about the game, anyways.

i know exactly where youre coming from (again) man. skating outside on Xmas is an awesome feeling. hell this year theres no snow, letalone ice to skate on.

for me, im mostly excited about having a whole TWO days off. Nothing, not hockey or work. Ill probably shoot pucks and what not today, but not HAVING to is a good feeling. Im pumped to sleep, ice and rest to get back to finally feeling good.
