Morning!!!

Well I don’t have a SO…so time will be spent with lil lady and the family…My only concern is through this season I don’t get too caught up in being alone and seek shor term pleasure knowing that is not a good idea when I can’t play that game well…so this is the true test of my singlehood to see if I can sustain and not get caught up by preditors and I not become a preditior during my weaknees of being alone…We will see…

Lady J you will be fine! Just enjoy Lil Lady J and you should enjoy your holidays! I am in the same boat but I plan to enjoy Lil Mo and have a good time with the family.

On topic I was fortunate enough to have been in a relationship with someone whose family was here like mine. So we split the time between families which was easy b/c they lived in the same area.

Morning! What eyecandy and I have done in the past is spend Thanksgiving together with my family and Christmas he would go home to Alabama with his parents. This year we switched it up. I went with him to AL (met the parents) and this Christmas he will spend with us. Holiday’s had never been a problem other than missing one another.

In the past, the holidays were not for me. I don’t enjoy them unless my SO and my boys are having the best time. So I go where he goes. It’s always to my family’s house, because we have the most fun over there.

In the present, I choose not to date until I get back home. I did meet a guy, but I don’t know about him. He is moving so fast and he just recently started with the sex/nasty talk. He invited me and Mo to Thanksgiving dinner and that got me to thinkin’ (this ain’t no date, it’s family time, NOT!). Anyways, I probably won’t include him in this holiday. I have a rule. No guy meets my boys until mommy has an exclusive relationship.

This is the worst time to be single though. I remember the best present I received from my ex. It was a black velvet short sexy azz nighty with a robe to go with it. memories

Well, it’s been a while since I had an SO on a holiday (on purpose or not), so it’s never been an issue for me on that level.

In thinking back like Bella said, I spent my time on the night before holidays with her family and the night of with mine.

It was kinda cute putting together bikes and stuff for the kids.

I moved to the ATL, like I did to the VA, by myself. Although I had home folks (from Rockford, IL) and some family on my mother’s side in the ATL, I opted not to spend many holidays in this mix. Most of my time I was single during the holiday season, a few casual friends or something-but nothing too serious. I always created a new way to recognize the season in order to find a more significant meaning in why I celebrated it anyway.

Voluntering durng this season is good. So many people are not able to spend time with family and friends. The elderly centers are full of beautiful people who have no one to care or share with them this time of year. The programs to serve the less fortunate and others with needs is in abundance as well.

I found that there are so many ways to channel the energy into something more beautiful and fulfilling by truly acknowledging the gift of giving myself to others who may need the support during this time of year. I may be by myself, but I am not alone for where I go, so goes God; and wherver I am, God is there also. There is always a blessing in loving God’s children-whoever they are and wherever they may be.

only ghetto chicks do that kinda mess. my boys question everything i do. about a month ago, i had a guy i used to see come to my door @ 9pm. my boys almost broke their necks tryin’ to see who it was. i told them it was the ups man @ the door. lol. i said, “look here stocker, you can’t do this, i have kids!”. he looked so sad and disappointed because i wouldn’t let him in. if i let every guy i have dated meet my boys, their dad would kill me in court!

Off Topic,RE: People to People Your daughter will have an experience of a lifetime. The students who are selected to participate spend the entire school year studying the culture, history, etc. of the country or countries where they will travel.

My daughter felt proud to be selected because not only did she realize that she was representing America and Americans, but also (and most specifically) African-Americans: our culture, families, communities and the sisterhood. She said “Mommie, you only get one chance to make a first impression. And I intend to represent.” Let your daughter go and represent!!!!

Living in Atlanta, my situation will probably always be like Bella’s sister. I’m from the west coast, so if my guy ends up from the south I’d lobby to do Thanksgiving in the south and Christmas in the West. Besides, nothing beats Christmas in California. Shorts and beach!

I have been meeting more guys from the West as well. But I’d still lobby for the same thing. Let’s stay home for Thanksgiving and go West for Christmas. Traveling to the West for the short time off for Thanksgiving is the pits.

Good Morning All,

Lets see…thinking…holidays and SO..well I guess it was a toss up.Turkey Day with my family…xmas with his.. that was doing the whole meet the families deal. After that it was whateva worked..To be honest it was not something we thought to hard about.

For those who are trying to combat loneliness. How about getting together with friends or some of these other lonely folks and having a potluck dinner. AJC ran a piece last week about a lady new to Atlanta who did something like that and it sounded like they had a good time. Besides if you are new to the city you never know who might meet that have the same interest as you. Another idea is to reserve yourself brunch or dinner at one of the local hotels. No cooking, no cleaning and you might meet some other folks like you who are alone at Xmas. Disclaimer I didnt suggest these things as some kind of hookup sessions.-just a way to combat loneliness

M’Karyl, oh, she’s going. It’s an honor to be picked. One of her teachers submitted her name.

Don’t if any of you watched DrumRoll SWD last night, but my child was so pumped to see so many of her friends on tv. SWD = Southwest Dekalb High School. She spoke on how well everyone represented themselves and their school. She, on her own, said “this is what I plan on doing when I study abroad w/the People to People program.” Gotta love it!

I don’t have a SO at the moment, but I’ve never had a problem deciding how to spend the holidays. When I lived in Cali, I would spend Thanksgiving with my girl’s family, and then we would spend Christmas with my fam who were living in AL at the time. I think compromise is generally a good solution. Holidays only become a problem when one or both people are unyielding.

Good Morning Everyone

This holiday season is the first time my SO will be traveling without me. We’re able to spend the actual holiday together, but not the entire holiday break. For example, Thanksgiving he had to fly to TX to pick up his son and then come back and then he flew back on Saturday to take him home. He didn’t make it back until Monday. For Christmas he’ll take off the day after. So, our holidays are evolving….challenging

I watched Drumroll SWD myself. Growing up in Cali, this type of stuff is so foreign to me. I liked the show. Mr. Seda is dry as toast.

I was more happy to see Mays representing! They seemed like fun and I’ve gotta represent the westsiiiide!!! LOL

Thank you M’Karyl. I have been complimented many times over the years on what a “beautiful soul” she has. I am blessed to have her. She’s quite a unique individual. Much like me, thank goodness, she loves school! It surely helps. Often times I marvel at the “fruit” I’m nurturing as most parents do. I’m deleted with the canvas I see evolving.

Mo, she has been wanting to go to SWD since 6th grade. She doesn’t want to join the band, but she loves SWD’s track team. Dallas Austin did an awesome job producing that show.

Ok, for those of you single, non-dating folk. I would love to join you guys in a gathering over the holidays.

I don’t have an SO either, but my entire family is here, so no travelling, no dividing up the day etc.

However, this will be the very first Christmas in my daughter’s life that we get to have Christmas morning in our own home. Every single year since she was born we have been at my parent’s. My brother recently divorced, and he gets his kids this year on Christmas afternoon. We will all head down to my Moms and have Christmas night together. That’s the only travel I have to do, 20 miles down the road!!!!

It does get a bit lonely as a single gal this time of year, so I totally focus on the kids, decorating, the shopping, making cookies, driving around and seeing all the holiday lights, etc.

The lights at Lake Lanier are awesome!!!! We pile up in the back of a friend’s truck under warm blankets, and drink hot cocoa as we drive throught the lights…….a tradition for about 10 years now!!

If you guys want a great holiday drink try this: Make hot cocoa, but add Baileys and Butterscotch Schnapps! Top it off with whipped cream and if you do have a companion over, prepare to get real snuggly!

Good Morning All.

Haven’t been single in many years, but Holidays is not a problem for me and my SO. Thanksgiving is usually hosted by my aunt. I host Christmas and everyone is invited to drop on at our place to have dinner & exchange gifts. We’ve never had any issues, both of us are compromising individuals.

This year things went a little bit differentlt w/T-giving. He visted his family, and I stuck to tradition. Not problems at all.

I think that it’s great to get out a mingle during the season, SO or not. Having time away from your SO, is just as improtant and spending time with them. Atlantic Station sounds like a great place to be. You girls have a good time.

morning folks! No SO here, so I can’t comment. But I do split the holidays between my friends and family. For the past few years I’ve spent Thanksgiving with my friends and Christmas with my family.

Also, for the past two years my closest friends and I have had a Christmas brunch where we exchanged gifts. We do this before everyone goes home for the holidays - now that I’ve moved from the A, it has to be a weekend when I’m in town for a game. Last year we did Pappadeaux for brunch.

CoCo The prgram was started by President Eisenhower as a means of creating a global ambassador program utilizing young Americans to serve as cross-cultural exchange agents in foriegn countries. My daughter, as well as my friend’s daughter (now a Spelman grad)participated in the program. Both young ladies were thoroughly enriched by the experience. Sometimes they go to one particular country or they may do a block of countries in one trip. The students have to be recommended by someone-a teacher, principal or another person who believes that the student is a good match for the program. The link is below:

The holiday season, recently divorced SO’s and their children-kinda hard to call when it is not really precedented by anything, like previous holidays, etc.

I would like to believe that he is trying to do what is best for his child’s emotional well-being for this holiday season. This is all very new to her too. Somethings are just so situation specific and without enough details to be certain-too much objective speculation may not be too sound.

Follow what you feel is in the best interest of the whole, with the child’s best interest being the priority, and then time will tell.

Beyes

Based on the insight that you’ve provided. I say that you take things slow with your guy. Don’t rush to judge, but don’t be naive either. Hopefully this guy has been honest and straight forward with you.. my assumption.

Just a few things to think about, all of which I’m sure you’ve evaluated in your head at some point.

Since the divorce from his ex-wife is still relatively fresh, their is sure to be some open wounds still linguring. Him visiting the in-laws, is not so unusual if the kids are there as well. This may be a family tradition.

With that said here’s some food for thought that will surely last you past the holidays. While he may be completely over his ex-wife, it doesn’t mean that she feels the same way. Women have a tendency to be much more emotional…. and that may very well be her case. Sure you don’t want to have to deal with a crazy ex-wife. Since the children are their only ties, means she’ll always be around, which could create tension in the relationship. Also another thing to consider is that his children may still be hurting and may not accpet you as the new women in his life. Just a few things to consider. Proceed with caution….LoL

Beautiful never, never, never think every man is a dog until he barks.-so true. situations in life happen and we need time to pull ourselves together to regroup and go forwad. Unitl he by his own actins ahs done something to convict himself, then he should not be judged negatively or harshly.

beyes If he speaks that highly of his child, then that is a good thing. And that he is not bad-mouthing the ex to you is another good thing. This shows good character in a person. When we care about someone, then we must give him/her the room to “fit” into new life situations; offer support, be understanding and abjective. If after some time these efforts on your behalf do not seem to be of any benefit to you, then make that decision.

And Brownsugar’s advice is well to heed as a point of ponderance because we also know that this too is sometimes the truth about the “other”. time will also tell on this.

DIRECTIONS In the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and evaporated milk. Stirring constantly, cook over lightly simmering water until mixture reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer mixture to a blender, and add cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, rum, water, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend for about 30 seconds. Pour into glass bottles, and chill overnight.

Yes, I think that it would greatly endow the self-esteem of our young people for so many reasons.

SJ3000 - It’s not important for me to bring a date. It’s usually just fun to. Guys take you out and spend money…my company is having it’s party with an open bar at a nice restaurant…I think it’s a nice gesture to invite him along and get sh*tfaced for free. LOL

In addition, it’s such a family oriented time, it’s good to have someone around when everyone is coupled up. I went stag for the first time ever last year. It was fine for me, but I was the only single at a table where everyeone else had dates. If I didn’t mind being alone, it could have been a little sad.

In any case, I’m still deciding if I’m going to bring a date to this year’s party. I have the option but it might be too soon to exercise it. People do talk at the Christmas party and invite themselves into your business. I don’t know if I feel like answering who the catch of the day is. LOL

SeanJohnson3000, just had this conversation at lunch today. A young lady at the table was at the dry cleaner and really wanted to talk to the guy in front of her. She said she waited and waited for him to strike up a conversation and perhaps offer to pay for a few of her drying cleaning but he didn’t. I immediately asked why didn’t she speak to him and offer to pay for a few of his shirts.

Man o man! You would have thought the devil sat down at our table. One lady (about 6 years older than myself) said “oh no that would never do!” Can you image the prissy voice and the stuck up nose!. Give me a freaking break. WTH is wrong with a woman asking a man the same thing this woman is waiting for the man to ask her.

How soon you decide to ask someone to a company gathering depends on the context of your relationship. I dated a women that I actually knew for about a year before we went on our first date. That first date was her asking me to go with her to a Christmas party hosted by her department chair. We went and had a nice time, but I think the situation might have been a little more awkward if we had not known each other a while before we went on our first date.

@ MaryKay…i dont think TOO many men are getting heavy starch in their shirts..so its possible to try it. and when he saw u reach for his clothes he mos def woulda said something ..and u coulda took it from there….as far as asking to borrow his cell phone…u are programming YOUR number in HIS phone..i am sure he knows the people in his contacts/address book.and if he has any interest he will call..besides none is this have to go exactly as planned.. the bottom line is getting a conversation started..instead of not saying anything…

But, I believe a more straight conversational forward approach would net a more immediately conclusive results. For example, I may have complimented him on his selection of shirts, etc. Like I sometimes compliment men on their ties and suits-and if the wifey bought it, then they almost always say so-lol.

I ran into this cutie on the elevator this morning and because I wasn’t in flirt mode - I couldn’t think of anything to say…I don’t even think I looked him straight in the face. I was just looking down, trying to peek at his ring finger and by the time I discovered there was no ring - we were at my floor…

Tazzee I guess we all have our own way of connecting with people. I just talk to each human being, without a hidden agenda, and move with the flow. There are fewer than 6 degrees of separation between us and someone else we have not become known to yet. I bet there are people right here on this blog that know people I know in the ATL.

I bet you have a good heart too. Never underestimate your value without the $$$. That can come and go, character and compassion stay with you a lifetime. Money-what’s that, I ain’t got none.
