Oh, how I wish this were our first Christmas together. We spend it together last year in Russia, but it was a little different than her actually being here.

Last year was our first Christmas together, however, this year will be our first Christmas as a married couple.

There have been 4 Christmases since we've been together and only last year were we apart. We decided not to spend the holidays together in '06 because I was going to travel (and did) to Brazil for my husband's interview in March. But we were together for 2004 and 2005 and now this year.
So this will be our 3rd Christmas together - but our first married and living in our own place.

We did a Christmas together in Brazil, but this will be our first in the U.S. We're going to Minnesota to my parents' house, and Rey's brother is coming!!! It's going to be awesome. Rey's mom said Rey's brother has a suitcase full of stuff to bring my family and he can't fit in any clothes.

I hope he likes Jewish Christmas. We're going to the Chinese restaurant and then to see the Golden Compass. The next day we'll have real Christmas at my aunt's house.

This will be our 4th Christmas spent together.

The first Christmas after we started dating we would have been together, but I decided to take a solo tour of Umbria, Italy over the holidays. Worst Christmas of my life, I think! No one should be alone at Christmas if they can help it.

We were together last year but we aren't "together" This will be our first Christmas together in the same country!!
WOO HOO!

Third Christmas apart

Number 4 for us this year.

No, 2.

This will be our first. Next year will be our baby's first.

I CAN'T WAIT. THIS IS OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS TOGETHER. NOTHING SPECIAL PLANNED, BUT WILL BE VERY QUIET. UNFORTUNATLY MY FAMILY WON'T ALLOW HIM IN THEIR HOUSE. SO ITS JUST HIM AND I. AND MAYBE MY YOUNGEST SON

you didn't have a choice for 0 Christmases together so far so I had to put one..
it's 3 Christmases since we met on-line..the first was a month before we met in person... the second was right after the consular interview... and the third we are waiting for the result of the waiver of inadmissibility...I've been to visit him but it's hard to arrange at Christmastime... I have a son and I can't leave him here at Christmas, nor can I afford to bring him there. And it's his birthday the week right after Christmas. It's really hard.

So I'm praying the 4th will be the one!

First Christmas together in the same country. Second Christmas for us as a couple.

This will be the first Christmas that I will not be leaving him after the New Year and that makes me so happy. Our anniversary is exactly 1 week before Christmas, and this will be the first time since getting married 4 years ago that we will be together on our special day. I always made it a priority to be with him at Christmas, if no other time

This will be our fourth Christmas in the same country, 6th as a couple

In 2002, hubster came over on Boxing Day (day after Christmas)...is that close enough?

Then in 2003 & 2004, I went there for the holidays (we were married on New Year's Eve of 2003), and we've been together for good since 2005. This year we will go to England for the holidays, and take my family with us!!

this will be our 2nd one....

I went to Morocco for Christmas vacation 2 years ago and I got so homesick for Christmas that I left a few days early on Christmas Eve. It was so sad without a tree and my family. I have never spent a Christmas without them!

This will be our first together in the same country. Even though we don't celebrate the religious aspect of it, we're doing the whole gift giving, Christmas dinner with the folks thing.

We spent Christmas in the Philippine year 2005 and this is our first time as a couple to celebrate here in America complete with the snow, real X'mas tree , fireplace etc....wooot!!

This is our 5th Christmas together. We spent our first Christmas together and every one since then because, even before I lived in the U.S., we only lived 3 hours from each other.

This will be our very first christmas togeter with our children

good for you all!

This will be our second Christmas together......with many more to come!

It's our 4th Christmas together (in the same country).

it's gonna be our second together in person and the 4th since we've been together.

This will be our first together, our third as a couple.

This is our 5th Christmas together, either in person or as a couple. 3 of the 5 were in the US (Indianapolis) and 2 of the 5 in Germany (Brake (Unterweser) and Herbertingen).
