Happy Holidays Everyone! Look Inside!

The "official" ;) Epic Leave your Holiday greetings and cheer thread! Ho Ho Ho! :D


On a more serious note, sometimes the holidays can be a lonely and depressing time for many. You may be away from family and friends or just by yourself this holiday season. I would like to extend a hand to anyone feeling alone or needing to just chat with a friend during the holidays. This Android community is a big one and we all have a lot in common, our Epic/Android communication devices. Lets put them to good use and spread a little cheer to those who might need it this season. I'm open to all P/Ms and all P/Ms will be returned with a phone call if needed. Peace!
 
That's nice. Still, I can't resist

Caller- I'm depressed about the holiday.
Android XTC- I know, we're all depressed that 2.2 isn't out for the Epic.
Caller- No, I'm depressed about the holiday.
Android XTC- What I find helps is to swap back and forth between smartphones to get my mind off of it.
Caller- My gifts suck
Android XTC- Not having flash on the Epic is a serious flaw.
Caller- I don't have a tree.
Android XTC- Have you tried an Evo?

:D

Happy holiday's everyone!

Merry Christmas to all, even those in the EPIC forum :D

Christmas can be a joyful time and yet many struggle with it for right or wrong reasons. I probably have more reasons than most to hate the season, but I find it my favorite time of the year. You see, 11 years ago, on Christmas day I was in a car accident at 3:10pm. My daughter Katie (17) and I were going to the beach for the holiday. It was a single car accident where my daughter left the road and struck a call-box and mile marker. They tell me the car flipped 5 times and landed upside down. I crawled out with minor injuries, my daughter died instantly when the pole holding the call box snapped like a mouse trap and crushed the roof above her.

That was in 1999, that first Christmas after the accident, I dreaded the day coming, but as it got closer, I realized just how much I loved the season, the spirit & the joy. Miracle on 34th Street (original version) as always been my favorite movie and every year the season seemed to be greater.

I struggled for years after her death financially and started a tradition of "re-gifting". My wife and I could barely afford to keep food on the table, let alone buy gifts. I re-wrapped presents from the prior year and gave them to her again, just so there was something under the tree. I still do it today, not that I have to, but it is a tradition ;)

About 5 years ago we adopted to special needs kids and things financially have been better the last few years.

This year we are back in Florida and I know the presents are bigger and the joy in the family is greater. We won't have any fluffy white stuff unless we go to the beach, but I am sure it will be a great day and great season. Today was our son's birthday, which adds a little extra to the week and on Sunday I will be volunteering at Give Kids the World.

You want to see joy in the world, spend some time with a group of "Wish children", it is a magical experience for all.

Merry Christmas.

Sorry to hear about your tragic loss. A loss like that you can really never make sense of in "our world" but im sure she was taken from you because she was really special and was needed for her greatness somewhere else that we can't comprehend in this life. You sound like an extraordinary and strong family and I honor you for that. Have a Wonderful Christmas filled with Peace and Love.

Merry Christmas to my fellow Epic owners!

I'm a little upset because someone at work stole my USB cable while I was making a run yesterday and I didn't get off till 10 so everything was closed. So I have a dead Epic and cant call my family back in Atlanta. :(

But above all that, I'm glad to be alive to see another Christmas. I hope everyone got what they wanted and I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day.

Seddy, Any brand plug in micro USB charger will work fine if you have one. Walgreens is open today you might be able to find one there. Hope you find one and Merry Christmas!
