What happened to my Christmas spirit?

To continue on with my Smilie math...Bambi's Christmas Spirit as represented by my Scientific "Emoticonual" formula probably resembles something close to this:
+(X)=/

Have to admit that this this thread has made he laugh. That's in spite of the fact that to me this Christmas is going to be a real bummer. The only family I have left is my sister and her kids and grandchildren which I will be spending Christmas day with (I think). however that is going to screwed up somewhat. About six weeks ago my brother-in-law fell off a ladder and broke his hip, had to have 8 hours of surgery and is still in the hospital going through rehab. He won't be getting out for Christmas. My grilfriend had surgery for ovarian cysts a couple of months ago, after a six month wait (that's our health care system). She is still in pain and unable to work. One of our best friends has had an terrible year. He had to have surgery for bowel cancer. That's after he had to have minor heart surgery to fix a blockage. He was finally recovered and feeling much better when he he had to go back in the hospital a couple of weeks ago for very high blood pressure. While in there his kidneys (a problem he has has for a long time) had problems. He is now on dialysis. He is now out of the hospital, but has to go back every two to three days for dialysis treatments. And now a couple of days ago I managed to pull a muscle on my lower back. It's painful for me to walk, so I've been spending most of my time in bed.

And to top it off my car has been in the repair shop most oif the last two weeks. After several mechanical repairs I now have a $2800 bill to pay off. I keep thinking of the camera or lenses I could buy for that money. Oh well, I guess I will have to live with my Rebel for quite a bit longer.

All I can say is good riddance 2010. Next year 2011 can't be nearly this bad.

That's a string of bad luck alright... Here's hoping it swings around for you and the others in the new year

Iggy's Xmas spirit formula probably is representative of this:

+<X=

Ditto what MAW said.

good one Casil but you forget to factor in as the 'X' factor.
not to mention:




on the other hand both kids are home.

Whoops...my bad...did I tell you I suck at math?? I guess this one of those cases where hijacking a post is a good thing!!!!

Casil, you're a card! Love your take on Holiday math!

Thanks Ig...doing these has kind of lifted my Xmas Spirit a bit.
