I am curious, as to how you celebrate? I have always wondered this.

I celebrate by hanging bird feeders and keeping them up all winter. I even put out peanuts for the squirrels. They have to eat, too. You can attract a lot of different types of birds with different types of seed. It's a way to connect with nature and give something to it, feel a part of it, make a small difference.
A lot of different groups of people celebrate - Solstice - the end of the shorter -

days and the beginning of the earth's journey back towards the light. Mostly Wiccans, Pagans, but it also is celebrated in many "mainstream" religions in one way or another. I'm probably closer to Pagan than anything else, but I don't really identify with any one group. The celebration of Solstice is also very much nature-related, as well. Mostly, I think the celebration of Solstice is a personal celebration, though my friends and I (of all faiths: Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and athiest) all get together and enjoy the marking of another trip around the Sun together, despite our many differences.
Best of all, there are TWO solstices each year: Winter and Summer!
I do also - LoveBeingPagan

I took part in a lovely ritual hosted by a nearby coven on the solstice.

Merry Christmas -- NJA Dec 24, 2013Scheduled to work today and NJA. No surprise as it happens every year. Hoping some work trickles in today. I don't want to sit here all day as well as all you other MT/ME's. I have tomorrow off and then back on Thursday and Friday with probably no work either. This paycheck is going to hurt.

Merry Christmas From Nuance Dec 24, 2014Just got a peek at next pay, the first with the new pay scale. I was astounded to see the pay was the highest I have seen in years! True, I worked my S off to get it, and I realize it can disappear in a flash at the whim of QA, but in this probably very brief moment I'm going to bask in the glow and hope for the best..... Indeed, Merry Christmas!! ...
Merry Christmas To All! MModal, Take Note On Dec 25, 2012Not even a card or word or wish or acknowledgement from my MModal supervisor or QA coach or management. Not a word that I even existed as I work on this holiday for their company.
On the other hand, I work a retail position part time. MModal take note. It didn't cost them much in either money or time. This company had the class to send a real card not an e-card to my home (that was hand signed by every member of management), had a small box of cookies and seasonal coffee fo ...

Now Told Cannot Accept Anymore Christmas Or New Year's Off... Sm Nov 18, 2010Okay, I am a lonnnnggg time MT/ME with Q for almost 18 years. Historically I have ALWAYS taken New Year's holiday and worked Tgiving and Christmas every year. (most of the time NJA anyway). What gets me is that I asked 3 months ago for the dates Dec 30, 31 and Jan 1. Now Fri and Sat are my days off anyway (work 2 hours Fri), so I said I would work Mon and Wed before these days to make up. Now we get the message no more PTO, even New Year.   ...

Kind Of Hard To Celebrate The New Year After Jan 02, 2011three death reports tonight, all under the age of 55. One with a ruptured brain aneurysm, one in a motor vehicle accident, and one suicide at age 22. Hard not to let these bother me, not getting much work done tonight.

Christmas Dec 21, 2009All of these people on here complaining about whether or not they are getting a Christmas bonus need to get a grip! I would be extremely happy if the company I work for (or did at least until Friday when I quit) would just send my freaking paycheck! Sorry, you guys, this has really put a damper on my Christmas spirit because I have done the job, worked my fingers to the bone and now can't get paid for it. ...
Did Anyone Ask For Christmas Off Yet? Nov 29, 2013I was just wondering if anyone requested Christmas off yet? I tried to request it the other day and it wouldn't let me???
It kind of has me worried. ...

Did QC Get Off For Christmas? Dec 29, 2014I noticed that none of the jobs I submitted to last week are in FIESA yet. Did QC get off last week? I thought they followed the same OOW procedures the MLS do (if there's work and you are scheduled, you work, if there isn't any work, you flex or don't work). ...
My Christmas Gift Dec 22, 2009First, I hope those of you who need to hear this will. I am not by any means saying what I am to hurt anyones feelings, to be mean, to start a ruckus, as a means of causing some to say hateful things, or to seem "better than." This, however, is something that those of you looking for work and unable to find a position, need to hear.
I recently had an opening for a transcriptionist for my very small buisness and recieved many, many resumes. Some were wonderful and I wish I coul ...
Christmas Is Coming!!!!! Nov 16, 2010So what do you think we'll get as a Christmas present this year? A new mouse pad, an envelope opener, perhaps a pencil with the Medquist logo on it, an eraser maybe? Oh, the possibilities are endless!! I'm sooooo excited, I just can't wait! After all, we know how much Medquist appreciates us by the way they treat us! Oh wait, I forgot, there have never been even cost of living raises let alone merit raises. Oh wait, I forgot ...
Has Anyone Gotten Approval For Christmas PTO? Nov 19, 2010Of all the MQ employees here scheduled to work on Saturdays, has anyone been approved to have off Christmas Day? I put in my request exactly 60 days ahead of time (since we can't do it before that) and have yet to hear anything. My CCM, who is pretty good about responding to e-mails, has not responded to me when I questioned whether I've been approved.
So, my question is, has ANYONE gotten the OK to take off Christmas?
...
In The Spirit Of Christmas Dec 16, 2010In the spirit of Christmas, I just want to post something positive here. I have had an up and down rollercoaster year with the Q (as usual), but still in spite of it all (worry, frustration, financial woes over pay cuts, and even tears at times), I truly feel grateful that I am employed and have a job in these terrible times when so many are without. It is far from a perfect job, but it is a job nonetheless.
I hope that everyone has an even better year in 2011 & a ...

Here's Your Christmas Carol, MT's Dec 03, 2011To the tune of 7 days of Christmas: On the first day of Christmas my employer gave to me a glimpse of our future, MT’s. Continue...On the second day of Christmas my employer gave to me, no holidays... and so on.... No incentive pay, No overtime, 80 percent VR...No raise in the future, Awful clumsy platform, No communication, No QA feedback, No tech support, Flexing is encouraged, Keep up your production!

Christmas At Webmedx Dec 17, 2011Does anyone know if Christmas is actually on Sunday at Webmedx this year (last year it was on Friday instead of Saturday so the office staff could get the holiday time off)? Will we be paid our holiday time for Christmas or does the 25% differential go into effect before then? My mind is confused with all of these different dates and not really having anything in writing to go by. ...
No Christmas Bonus Dec 20, 2011It amazes me that we are getting no bonus gift card or anything for Christmas this year. We are owned by a "global corporation." My son works for a large established country club golf course part-time, has been with them for 2 years and got a $100.00 bonus. ...
Mq Christmas Gift Dec 21, 2011Do any of you fellow MT's remember the Christmas gifts we used to get here at MQ? Who can forget the lovely mouse pad, worth probably 5 cents. Oh, but wait . . . don't forget the chapstick . . . what was it, on a chain, I believe? How would they EVER be able to top THAT? Guess that's why we won't be getting anything this year. Too hard to come up with something bigger and better than THAT! LOL How I miss the days when this was&nb ...
