Oh but she does have fun like that with her kids. They're always screeching and squealing in delight when they're around her. The woman is a barrel of fun, fun, fun! A big ol' heapin' helpin' of happiness!
She just doesn't have the photos of them doing that so we'll have to take honest Kate's word for it.
Ah Auntie Ann - "Mlo is the katekeeper". That is brilliant.
But truly, whatevah with this POS as it does appear she will have to pay for her 'hobby' expenses from this point forward. The lack of interest on her twitter feed cannt be ignored as well. Probably her last visit to the swag VIP tent too. Don't let that tent flap hit ya on the way out.
And if only she had a friend who could do a health intervention. If you look at a pre-divorce picture, even the ugly one upthread where she was yanking a child, even with that odd haircut, you can see how much healthier her hair, her skin, her body, was. Her arms were toned, no gaunt look, no too big boobs on a straight frame. Frankly, she's a physical mess. Too bad.
Sorry Rhymes - Technology is NOT my friend!! still can't get ipad working - even after cleaning cache, upgrading crap, etc. Now going to last option - asked DH for help - pray for me. So beyond what others have suggested I am stumped.
gosh Kate looks bad, really sad, really old, not a sweet young 30 something

I'm thinking less vinager..more brown sugar
anyone here ever cooked them before?
ps...google is not my friend on this

franky, I would love to try and help you but I'm not sure what you're asking. You've cooked some yellow beets, right? Are they for a salad? I see some recipes for yellow beets and brown sugar dressing and yellow beets with brown sugar and apple juice glaze. I Googled them:
ROL has the article from OMG that the kids do not want to see Jon at Christmas. Too bad Jon can't get some kind of gag order on her. I feel awful for those kids. It has been 3 years since the divorce. Will Kate never let this go?
Blowing In The Wind said... 155 ''I give him credit for showing so much restraint in not talking to the media. Imagine how difficult it must be when someone publicly bashes you and presents only their side. You have to sit back and listen to it, biting your tongue because you want the truth known, but you take the high road for the sake of your kids. It has to hurt, knowing that your ex is a parental alienator, possibly poisoning your kids minds against you, not only in private, but also in the media.'' ~~~~~~~~~ Amen! Jon's ability to restrain himself from responding to KK's despicable parental alienation is something to be admired. His comment that he, his kids, his family and friends know the truth is obviously something he truly believes, and that is enough for him. KK's inability to keep her lying hateful mouth shut is responsible for her downfall. As the children get older, it will be more and more apparent which parent is the most respected parent. As for the past, it has always been apparent how much the children love their father. That hasn't changed, and I think it never will, no matter how hard KK tries to turn the children against their father.
Kate is getting more and more negative comments on these articles. Even if you didn't know the history, she sounds like she's begging for freebie gifts, insulting the kids' dad, has greedy kids and she's a shallow lazy person with a 'hobby' of running.
Blowing exactly what I thought. It's the old I know the truth so who cares what they want to think. Also I don't owe sheeple an explanation so why follow them down that rabbit hole.
Well done, Kate. Yet another story saying how the kids don't want to spend Christmas with Jon. Also grifting for Apple products. And we don't do Santa? OK, then she goes on about how expensive electronics are. Ugh...how about skip your monthly trip to NYC and see how fast the money can add up. Those kids worked for years!
chefsummer said... 16 ''I don't understand what Kate gets of saying things like.-"The kids don't want to see Jon". She's just freaking sick. I mean who say's things like this and is able to sleep at night? Kate is sick just sick she must really hate Jon to the core'' ~~~~~~~~~ I agree that KK is sick...her mental health problems are getting more and more noticeable as time goes on. Her narcissism won't permit her to accept any responsibility for her current position....in her 'sick' mind, it is ALL JON'S FAULT!! !!!!!! It must be Jon's fault, because it sure can't be KK's fault!
One of the classic obsessed parental alienation behaviors is they convince themselves the children love only them, only want to be with them, and are always better off with them. That statement fits right in there with that.
Imagine a world in which you issue disclaimers about Christmas to your kids. Not, "I'm sorry, but Mommy needs to pay the light bills before buying electronic toys." Not, "Hey, how about we give some of our abundance to Toys For Tots, instead." No, she's giving them advanced warning that their unwrapping session won't last a full two hours, maybe more.

But Kate does anything & everything to get away from the kids.
From running out of state marathon to supposed filming with an porn star for 9 days.
I'm reading this recent ROL article where Kate states the children usually spend Christmas eve with Jon. My how the mind of a liar forgets. Last year she tweeted that despicable pic of her children holding candles in church on Christmas eve. So which is it? Church or with Jon? Something is not adding up.
Ally she is lost in her own lies she's just so confused what she said and didn't say it's all really bubbling over now. She literally can't say anything anymore without catching her saying something completely different before.
Don't most parents keep up the Santa thing till their kids grown out of it? ******** I think it's so odd. No pics with Santa. Ever. There's so much wonderment as a kid... laying out milk and cookies for Santa. Loved that.
aarrggh - I don't do OS - you got it DH upgraded to Google chrome and voila - it works - guess Google is pushing for OS upgrades and limiting support - so guess that's the answer
So the custody agreement means nothing? I wonder if Jon knows yet that he won't be seeing the kids for Christmas. I'm glad Jon got off of Twitter, but I wish there was a way to give the poor guy some support!
She is also still apparently going with the story that she has primary custody of the children. That only she supports...all alone...no one to help her...although I read something the other day that she said a while ago and commented how she would love to clone herself...so she would have help taking care of the kids...ugh, ugh, UGH! Could you imagine 2 of that creature on this planet? Yes, I chose planet because I really can't imagine another one like her, existing, anywhere. I give Jon a ton of credit. I can't imagine having to hear this crap day in and out and be forced to deal with her. I know how hard it is to not hit below the belt from personal experience. I went through a bitter divorce where my husbands attorney actually sent me nasty dirty email messages. My attorney would warn me of the content first. I wanted nothing more than to defend myself. It hurts when people spread vicious lies about you. My attorney would not do it. At the time I was pissed. Now, looking back, we took the high road...and I'm glad we did!
Growing up, my parents never did Santa, the Easter Bunny or what have you. Churchwise...it wasn't something that was encouraged by a long shot.
I don't think I regret not being excited like maybe other kids were. I feel sorry for Kate's kids that she has to take that maybe there is a magical aspect to Santa at Christmas I wouldn't know.
What I don't agree with is her stripping her kids of their own voice. "The kids say this, the kids think that..." She probably doesn't even know what they really think. Of her, of how she is, what she does. Not a lot of kids tend to speak to adults, they speak to their peers more than anything else that I know.
She's kidding herself the very least if she thinks she is on her kids' buddy buddy list.
But to those of you who celebrate Christmas with your kids and do Santa and lave out milk and cookies and then you eat them for the kids I think it's nice and I hope that your kids have in the past or will appreciate it now.

"OMG it's going to be a new Gosselin family tradition.
Kate is a twit said... 193 I saw this brought up on another blog. In this picture, Kate is posing with 2 other half marathon runners. Notice that her bib is a different color(yellow) than theirs(purple). The 1/2 also looks crooked, as if it was written in with a black Sharpie. ************************************** I noticed the different colored bibs too and was going to comment on it. I wonder if Kate insisted on having the number '8' on her bib and this is what they came up with. She must feel she is oh so special. Gag.
Kiwi 3 and Laurie 4, thanks, I'll give those things a try. Lilly, sorry, I must have misunderstood a previous comment that you made. I am using chrome, btw.
How many of Kate's children will carry the "no Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy" thing into their own adulthood and inflict the same on their children? I certainly hope their spouses nip that idea in the bud, as it's such a magical part of childhood that you always remember.
She's such a b*tch for ruining this for eight children.
I avoid commenting on looks, but my gosh, what has she done to herself? She looks anorexic. Her head is too big for her emaciated body. Her neck is so wrinkled and saggy. I looked at the photo of her dancing the jive with Tony and she was so much healthier there with some meat on her bones (as my grandmother used to say). Her hair was pulled back for that dance, and she actually had hair...thick at the hairline and not receding.
She really does need help, psychological and with self-image. She may like to be skinny, but a weight loss like this is going to do serious damage to her physically.
Tamara said... 71 Both Yawn and Khate are big hypocrites whom use their kids and the media attention they've gotten them to make money.

At one time, both Jon and Kate did use their children to cash in. However, Jon has been keeping a low profile for at least a year, if not longer. At some point, I think people ought to at least acknowledge that Jon is not presently pimping out his kids. Fair enough?
You know what's sad? The people here who don't even like her are far more concerned about her health than her own fans. Her own fans just keep encouraging her when really if I were a fan I'd be scared out of my mind she's going to seriously hurt herself with this lifestyle or worse.
"I hope they DO NOT have children of their own. I pray their families R not subjected 2the same harsh abusive comments. I pray 4them period!"
88888888888888888
Funny, Milo, I was thinking the same thing about YOUR family, hoping that they are not subjected to this freakish, stalking, obsessive behavior of someone who is psychologically so unstable that they worship at the feet of a middle-aged reality star has-been. Milo, you make a fool of yourself on the internet. How does YOUR family feel about that?
I read that Cara and Mady told the tups there was no Santa, maybe three years ago. Then it was reported that parents at their school were upset because Gosselin kids, maybe the tups, were telling classmates there was no Santa. I do not recall with the fake Christmas filmed many years ago if Santa was mentioned.
Frankly by age 8, many kids have figured it out, but it was a shame that those kids didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the wonder of Santa Claus for many years. I miss those days myself.
Perhaps Kate needs to speak with the woman who was 'catfishing' Nev in 'Catfish'. She tells so many half truths that she will need, I mean, needs help to keep up with her lies. Thing is, she actually thinks the public believes her.
Is there such a thing as pre-tweets? Milo was spitting those things out so fast during the marathon. So much trivia included that she had to have researched each point to have something to tweet about.
Whether others think it's right or wrong, I personally enjoyed the magic of Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy for my daughter and my grandsons.
Yes, they all wrote letters to Santa, put out cookies and milk, and the cutest part was going into their bedroom to check on them Christmas Eve, and finding them covered with a blanket by the window. They fell asleep trying to see Santa's sleigh and the reindeer flying through the sky.
My daughter has great memories of these times, as I do, and I'm sure my grandsons will as well.
When I was growing up, we never had a real fireplace so my parents had one of those cardboard red brick ones. When my daughter was very young, we would tell her that with Santa's magic, he could come in through the fireplace, even though it wasn't real.
On Christmas Eve, after putting the presents under the tree, I would grab my husband's workboots and my bag of artificial snow. Then use his boots and sprinkle the fake snow around them. I would make this path from the cardboard fireplacde to the Christmas tree. Then eat the cookies and drink the milk and leave a big candy cane on the empty cookie plate.
When my daughter woke up in the morning, she was so excited to see the "footprints" leading from the fireplace to the Christmas tree. The special candy cane directly from Santa (on the cookie plate) was a special thrill for her.
The point is childhood is supposed to be a magical, fanciful time for children no matter what your faith. Stripping a child of a right to let their imaginations sore is wrong. Muslim and Jewish children still have fantasies and pretending last I checked, as log as their parents aren't the kind that loves to suck the fun out of everything. There is more to being a good parent than keeping your kid alive.
What on earth is wrong with Kate's left hand in the picture? It looks deformed, as if the fingers were on backwards. The palm looks like it has veins in it like the back of a hand would normally have. Is it just that she has become so skeletal that her hands are now claw-like? I really hope someone is able to convince her of the need for a healthy diet before she collapses while running, or worse, while driving the kids somewhere. She is one sick lady.

Think of all those Jewish, Muslim, etc. children who are permanently scarred by not experiencing the magic of Santa and the Easter Bunny. Horrible parents of different faiths inflicting such punishment on their children... ________________________________ REALLY?? So there aren't ANY Jewish children that believe in Santa? Wrong. I know many who were taught the tale of Santa Claus and had there picture taken and sent off a list. Just because you don't celebrate Christmas doesn't mean you are deprived of Santa Claus. BTW, lots of my Jewish friends had the tooth fairy growing up, too. Glad to have opened your eyes a little but to our pluralistic society where traditions can intermingle freely.

Anonymous, there are quite a few blogs that I don't agree with, but it is their right to have opinions that differ from mine. However, I don't go on them, knowing I disagree with them, just so I can stir things up by posting my negative views of their opinions. If I don't agree with a blog or website, I don't waste my time going there; just like with friends, you choose sites based on those that have similar views to your own. Unless of course you are trying to stir things up.
Is Kate really 37 years old? Looking at the pics I would put her in the late 40's. The neck looks old and wrinkley. Look closely at the eyes and there's the crow's feet, and a lot of them. It's time for a face and neck lift.
Kate is just another example of people in Hollywood ruining their looks. I don't consider Kate Hollywood, but she is in the entertainment field (well, sort of).
Yep butterfly :). I just made a general statement about children's imaginations. I never said anything about Santa. It's the sheeple assume that which says how defensive they are.
The Christmas season has morphed into a general holiday of giving and family and friends that many people of all faiths take part in. Sad to assume that only Christians have a magical time at Christmas.
It's not tragic that the kids "don't do Santa" but I think that it's because Kate didn't want this mythical man stealing her thunder with regards to gifts, and that's what I think is a shame. The real tragedy of course is the continuous alienation of their father and having their privacy invaded and anonymity taken away, probably for life.
Santa is magical! Santa always left sooty glove prints on the fireplace walls and scattered ashes and logs when my kids were little. They even manged to 'catch' him on a grainy video, just the bottom half of his red suit and big black boots filling the stockings. How excited the kids were! Unless for religious or other beliefs, I think it's sad to deprive your children of such fun and the spirit of Christmas, loving and giving and yes, receiving.It's almost cruel for Kate to do so.(and to their classmates)
Admin #59, I agree 100%. Although I am a Christian, I have given gifts to Muslim friends at work and they have also given me one. It is the spirit of the season that many people celebrate, whether they agree with my personal beliefs or not.

It would fill her out in a good way- women over 35 only look gaunt when they are too thin, not sexy (not that 25 year olds look sexy being underweight, but they pull it off better). Anyway, her face and neck would look younger with more weight, flesh is a good thing :)

************************************************
Me too, LoveMyGrandsons :o)
The look on their innocent faces was precious.
Both my kids were told by their school friends that we were lying to them- that Santa didn't exist.
But the kids DO celebrate Christmas. They aren't Muslim. In a way that's worse because they are surrounded by talk of Santa and probably realize they missed something in their celebrations through the years.
Hi, Pink! My grandsons are still believers; my daughter told me she knew there wasn't a Santa the Christmas before her 9th birthday. It came from conversations with friends at lunch. Either way, I knew it would eventually come to an end, but for a parent, it's kind of sad when it happens, isn't it? It's the big sign that they're growing up and not our "little ones" anymore.
Pink, come to think of it, it was right before Easter after my daughter's 9th birthday when she told me that she knew the Easter Bunny wasn't real. Then we started talking and that's when she told me she knew Santa wasn't real, but she went along with it the last Christmas because she thought it meant alot to me so she didn't want me to know she knew the truth!
Ok so what are all the Kate fans seeing that I'm not seeing when I look at these pictures of her? They're saying she looks young, fresh-faced and beautiful! What?! I do think Kate is attractive but come on! Again I think the fans are saying these things just to piss the non-fans off and it looks like it's working!
I don't disagree but if it were about being fundamentalists they wouldn't believe in the tooth fairy either. It's just about Kate wanting the credit for the presents at the expense of depriving them of something very fun about Christmas. If it were about a noble cause like religion that would be easier to understand. If she were fundamentalist she wouldn't let then believe in the tooth fairy. It's clearly not about religion.
Anonymous, did you miss my comment #54? It seems like you are just coming here to attack Admin's comments. You lose credibility when your posts come across as just a gripe against a particular person.
There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian sects that are anti-Santa. Kate didn't pull that out of thin air and her children are hardly the only Christian children that aren't privy to the magic of Santa. ****** That's true and I think their anti-Santa stance is in alignment with their overall lifestyle. With Kate, I see her as having moved quite far from her evangelical Christian lifestyle, with bible verses on her shirts and all the fleecing of flocks of people at their speaking engagements. Which is to say that I don't believe religion was the root of that decision.
And they certainly lose credibility when they type "sic". Condescending unhappy person. News flash I didn't say that original comment about Santa and never did. Ya got the wrong person sheriff!
Fundamentalists also don't dress like Kate ********* Actually, I think Kate is swinging back to the middle with her clothing choices. Boy, there was a year or two there that she dressed like a hooker, but it seems her need to wear revealing tops and ridiculous heels has diminished. No Christian woman would wear such revealing get ups around married men and their teenage boys.
If I recall correctly, Jon and Kate stated they told the twins the truth about Santa because they didn't want to "lie" to their children. What a crock that was to me when I heard it. I began waking up about that couple around that time. All the scripture tee-shirts and notes around the house just played in to the fans they were working on and fleecing at the time. This is such a horrible story, really. They took such advantage of good, Christian, trusting viewers with their fake story lines and grifting. I don't care how many marathons Kate runs. She can't run away from the impression we all have of her. Ugly, really ugly.
My spin on yellow beets pickling: try adding smashed garlic gloves, sliced sweet onions (oignons espagnols ou oignons blancs, in french...) and a little bit of freshly grated ginger if you have it on hand. Distibute everything evenly in your glass jars, add salt and whole peppercorns, then pour over your very hot vinegar.
Anonymous #80, no you didn't say that. That was my assumption. Your apology for the "sic" comments showed me that you are not here just to cause trouble. I'm sorry for my previous assumption.

Wasn't Kate's quote on People magazine cover, the one in a bikini, "Dont I DESERVE to look this good? Arent I ENTITLED to this body?"
You know there has been conversation that Kate is trying to make for what the thinks she lacked in her childhood- I would not be one bit surprised if a good number of the G8 grow and decide they will have Santa et al for their children, and put their kids in scouts, and become homeroom parents, and have nice family meals, especially at the holidays with both sides of the family invited because that is what they lacked growing up. Would serve Kate right. Maybe then she will see the light, what is truly important.

From her tweets she's got the kids watching the videos of their shows over and over. No wonder they talk about it all the time.
No, they do not believe in the tooth fairy. Do you get why they dont do Santa or other things like it? The whole point is the strict interpretation of having no other gods before God. Creatures you look up to who bring you things are too close for comfort to that admonishment. A general storybook about fairies, however, probably would be fine because you're not worshiping them in any way.
butterfly, what I recall Kate saying about her childhood is that they didn't go on fancy trips and she wanted to provide that for her kids because she missed those things when she was younger. I am of the opinion that Kate didn't really have a bad childhood, she just didn't get everything she wanted and she felt cheated by that. In my opinion, it seems like her family couldn't afford alot of extravagant things and that's what she always wanted. That's why she was so willing to sell her children so she could get those things. Of course, she said it was for the kids, but babies and toddlers don't know about such things. Besides, she has shown by what she spends that it was all for her, never for the kids.
I have to agree with what Anonymous said at #65. Kate didn't just pull no Santa out of thin air, she pulled it out of her a$$.
Filming, hiring other people to wrap, buy presents, hide presents, etc. and to not take credit for all of it? Nope, there cannot be a Santa in Kate's world. Just another instance of her sucking the joy out of anything. Staying up late to make sure the kids are asleep to leave out cookies, etc. is something Kate would never do, let alone fake snow on the floor with footprints, oh the horror!
Santa is a huge part of a kids childhood. Why do kids tell other kids there is no Santa, it's not to make them happy. No disrepect to those that don't do Santa, Kate just doesn't for the wrong reasons.

------------------
I guess it depends on the church. I was raised in an extremely fundamental church, no movies on Sunday, no dances on Sunday, my mother did no laundry on Sunday...we weren't even allowed to use a scissors on Sunday because it was considered "work." I could never quite figure that one out. We had Sunday morning services, Sunday evening services, and mid-week prayer services, along with "revival" services once a year. I thought it was all ridiculous, but looking back now, I wouldn't have traded any of it. It was a very important part of my childhood.
However, we did believe in Santa, the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy. In fact, Santa came to our Sunday School classes and handed out candy and oranges. My parents, I think, were more upset than I was when I found out that none of those entities existed.
I was at the mall today. There was an Amish couple and a Mennonite couple with kids in line to see Santa. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Her commercial and material needs at this season, her lack of interest in the fantasy (Santa) really makes one wonder what her life was like growing up. As an adult she just sucks the holiday spirit dry. Unless, of course, she is the one getting a gift. Sad.
Gah. Stop with all the patting yourself on the back. The over the top bragging is ridiculous.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Gah yourself. There was no bragging in this. The poster was reminiscing about her daughter's Christmas excitement. If you find that distasteful, go elsewhere and gah there.
Kathy P., your comment was uncalled for. It was not patting myself on the back. The comment was about parents making Christmas memories for their children. Their were various stories shared of our childhood experiences, as well as what we did for our children. You were rude and insulting.
Kate says they don't do Santa, yet she references him in her tweets.
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 Thank goodness 4 Internet shopping... Santas sleigh pulled in (my suv driven,loaded &unloaded by me!)&so the elves (me) better get working! 4:34 PM - 27 Nov 12
Why mention him at all, except to point out that she is "Santa"?
From Robert's book:
THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS. BUT THERE IS A MS CLAUSE?
icedtea92 @Kateplusmy8 Do ur kids still believe in Santa?
@icedtea92 no never did here :) result is the same tho ;)
NiiiicoleeH @Kateplusmy8 Merry Christmas ! Do your kids still believe in Santa ?? If theydon’t, did u tell them ? Or did they find out themselves ?? :)
@NiiiicoleeH we never did Santa! :) results are the same tho :) 12.24.11
smileydancer456 @Kateplusmy8 do your kids buy gifts for each other? And do they still believe in santa?
@smileydancer456 cara and Mady do (w their own $.. so cute) and no Santa here but result is the same so no big deal! :) 12.24.11
Is this a canned response from Kate’s PR person? “result is the same tho ;),” “results are the same tho :),” “result is the same so no big deal! :)” Ok Kate, so you’ve deprived your children of the wonder and magic that is the tradition of believing in Santa Claus. That’s fine, you’re the parent, it’s against your religious beliefs, etc. But why then do you get to pretend to be ‘Ms Clause?’ and to spell it incorrectly while you’re at it? That’s being a little bit inconsistent, wouldn’t you say Kate?
Silly tweeties... I see you calling me! I'm eyeball deep in wrapping and (shh) presents... I'm playin Ms Clause tonight... No run again 2day!
HspncElvis @Kateplusmy8 MSD having a few drinks in your honor tonight. :O)
@HspncElvis cool thanks. Ms clause is too busy to party
wildfirecrew @Kateplusmy8I struggle w/ 3kids, 1DIL & 1grand… Does Santa leave his gifts wrapped or unwrapped at ur house? Santa leaves our unwrapped.
@wildfirecrew nope, everything including stocking gifts are wrapped here… This santa is a glutton for punishment I know! Lol
And from Kate’s own website: 8 things that tell me it’s Christmastime: DECEMBER 24, 2011
3. My bedroom is no longer anything but Ms Claus’ Workshop – I cannot walk in any direction without fear of colliding with a wrapped package!
Hoffman, Robert (2012-09-27). KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD (Kindle Locations 30948-30949). . Kindle Edition.
So the kids don't celebrate the magic of Santa, but it's okay for Kate to refer to herself as Santa, or as Mrs. Claus. Seems kind of hypocritical to me.
Kathy P. said... 103 ''Gah. Stop with all the patting yourself on the back. The over the top bragging is ridiculous. '' ~~~~~~~~ What I think is ridiculous is your inability to tell the difference between telling about a sweet memory of the past and ''over the top bragging''. I feel sorry for you.
LaLa (82),"If I recall correctly, Jon and Kate stated they told the twins the truth about Santa because they didn't want to "lie" to their children."
88888888888
I remember that, too. It was okay, though, to lie to their children that Mommy and Daddy would be together forever, when the marriage was already doomed during the Hawaii trip. It was okay to lie to their children that it was Christmas Day when it wasn't, and it had to be done to fit into the filming schedule.
First off, let me say that I do Santa with my kids and I am a Christian.
However, I don't think that one needs Santa Claus to celebrate Christmas. As a Christian, I try and remember that Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ and the hope of salvation He brought into this world. Santa Claus, gift giving, Christmas trees, feasts are all wonderful traditions and my family and I make them part of our yearly celebration but they are a different aspect of the holiday all together.
So what is Christmas all about? As Linus so eloquently put it:
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
No mention of Santa Claus. No mention of Christmas trees. No mention of holiday feasts.
Just glorifying God and remembering to be good to each other and live in peace.
"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
Thank you, Twittering. It's wonderful to look back on those memories of seeing the joy in your child's eyes and on their face, on Christmas morning. Yes, I reminisce alot, a mom and grandma's perrogative!
Tweetle and Remona Blue, thank you. Kathy P. obviously has some problems just like Kate's sheeple.
Silimom, the Charlie Brown Christmas special perfectly explained to children the "reason for the season". I love it!
regular poster & amp, Dwindle doesn't "butt in", she posts her opinions on previous comments and subjects like we all do. Please get off of it already.
Kate tweeted yesterday: "Hey guys! We are at the VIP tent awaiting the start of the half marathon! Me and my awesome marathon girls! Photo won't load...:("
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nothing like a little bragging there, Kate...patting yourself on the back for being at the VIP tent. Why not just say "tent" or hanging out with my friends before the marathon begins?
Day Six of the EIGHT DAYS OF HAPPY DANCING FOR SAINT TONY AND MELISSA WINNING DANCIN WITH THEM THAR STARS! I am having a post-DWTS let down this evening. No new episode to watch tonight. Fortunately I planned ahead and will watch the finale episode I recorded again!
Hmmm, just saw that Hoarders on A&E has a new episode tonight, the episode description says ”a woman keeps dead cats in her fridge”. Can't miss that! Watching Hoarders always gives me motivation to get up and start cleaning right away. Please note this does not involve throwing anything down stairs as we have seen Ms Kreider do on film in the past.
Liz said... 108 ''.......It starts to feel like a competition here at times.'' ~~~~~~~~~ When you're right, you're right. Sometimes it DOES feel like competition about who can be the most hateful to other posters....which one can be the most insulting.....which one can be the most rude. In my opinion....you are all a bunch of silly idiots. (Yes, I called you all a name!!)
LovemyGrandsons, I always enjoy reading what you have to say. You seem truly wonderful and it is fantastic that your grandsons mean so much to you :) They are lucky to have you.
I have some question for the sheeple, please answer without deflecting or blaming Jon: do you personally agree with the way Kate acts toward Jon? Do you feel that it is healthy or fair to always be dissing your ex, implying that the children would rather not be with him? If you were divorced (perhaps you are or have been or will be), is this how you would act? You always defend it and sometimes, downright encourage it. Does that mean you admire such behavior?
One of my fondest memories of Christmas with my grandchildren is when my then 6 year old grandson read "The Night Before Christmas". He is now 8 and he still believes in Santa. I get a kick out of him and his 5 yr old sister explaining Christmas, Jesus and Santa to their 1 year sister. They know the true meaning of Christmas, but also experience the magic of it as well.
LoveMyGrandsons said... 113 Liz, my comment was not about being a better mother; it was about my Christmas memories 22 years ago. _____________________________________________ It's not a competition. It is sharing memories and family stories. Do these people not do this with their friends and families and co-workers? This is no different. I enjoy the stories, ladies, they bring a smile to my face. I even get some ideas for the holidays. LMG, I thought what you shared was soooo cute!! If my kid was still little, I would steal your idea and do that for her. Guess I'll do it when I become a g-ma. Thank you for sharing. Now for some cookie recipes...Ladies.....
Joy in Virginia, I'm not going to post this anonymously. If I take heat for it so be it.
You could try the patience of Job on your happy dance, in my opinion. I REARELY b*tch about what's going on here. If I don't agree or don't want to read something I scroll on by. But really.........
If the Yahoo article about Kate's Christmas was exactly the same, but Jon's name was substituted for Kate's, the sheeple would be vilifying Jon left and right. They would trash him first for giving out custody information, say that he's cheap by saying "electronics are expensive" and lastly say that he's putting Kate down to make himself look good. How dare he? Plus they'd throw in that he had to sell an article to pay the rent or whatever bill they think he owes.
But when Kate does it-she's praised for being a wonderful mother, and that of course, the kids prefer to be with her instead of Jon.
Chiming in on the Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny debate...
At about age 7 or 8, my son announced to me that he knew there was no Easter Bunny. You see, my MIL always gave him a basket and told him that the Easter Bunny left it for him at her house. (She's a very "practical" person, not into toys and candy for kids, and would fill his basket with socks and underwear and such.) "Mom, really, what Easter bunny would bring you this stuff?"
As for me, I still believe. Saw a sign recently that said, "when you stop believing in Santa you get underwear", and I don't want to chance it!
I remember they had stockings on the fake Xmas show- from Pottery Bran iirc...and "Mrs Clause" ( sic)as she wrote it once- wrapped the stocking presents...why have stockings if there's no Santa?
Tweetle, hon, it's just a daily running joke Joy has going. Personally, I think it's kind of funny. In all honesty, I do enjoy your posts and your opinions. On this one, though, we may disagree, but that's okay.
LMG, I understand where you're coming from. I make a lot of fun of Milo for beating things to death, "Grow a Boyfriend," for example. It doesn't annoy me because it's Milo, it annoys me because it gets old. Maybe it's just me. I sat on my tweeting fingers as long as I could.
Some more from the Book. The article said that the kids usually spend Christmas Eve with Jon--but according to Kate's tweets last year.....
dawnMhernandez @Kateplusmy8 how do you guys do Xmas now? Separate or together? Hope you finish ur wrapping! :)
@dawnMhernandez def seperate. We do Christmas at home, same as always and they do Christmas at their dads after. It's the way kids requested
Hoffman, Robert (2012-09-27). KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD (Kindle Location 31025). . Kindle Edition.
Caught in another lie. And again with the kids requesting it. Kate really does need some kind of app to remind her what she said from one year to the next.
When you're right, you're right. Sometimes it DOES feel like competition about who can be the most hateful to other posters....which one can be the most insulting.....which one can be the most rude. In my opinion....you are all a bunch of silly idiots. (Yes, I called you all a name!!)

Apparently you are aiming for first place in that competition, and I'm happy to award it to you. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sillimanite: thank you for your post....I could not have said it better. as a christian, I struggled with not making "Jesus the reason for the season" after all, Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Savior. We never tried to remove the "magic" of Christmas but in keeping it in line with the true meaning, we celebrated Jesus' birthday, and since we can't give presents to him, we celebrate his birthday and give presents to each other. Kids can still be told about the fable of where St. Nicholas first originated and not lose the "magic". Here's a question...and I'm not trying to stir up anything, really!.... But have you ever noticed that the only religious holidays that have an "alternative" belief is Christianity? For example, Christmas has Santa Claus, Easter (the death and resurrection) has the Easter bunny etc....but there are no Jewish alternative mythical beliefs for Hannukah Or other holy days...or in the Muslim religion? I find that interesting...
Remona Is #1, your post was uncalled for. Remona Blue was responding to an insulting post from another. People that stand up for what they believe in are not rude. What is rude are the people who do the insulting and then get huffy when people call them on it.

The Easter Bunny is from the pagan spring holiday and Santa Claus is a very German (maybe Scandinavian... I cannot recall) myth that has been incorporated into Christmas. It is interesting though. I'll have to ask my Iranian teachers if they have the same in their culture, because maybe they do, and we just aren't aware of it. That would be fun to know :)

Patience, Tweet-le. Patience. Only two more days of it! :)
For what it's worth...yes, it gets old, but at least it isn't dancing until the New Year!
Thank you butterfly! Like I said, I am not stirring anything...I really am curious. It just seems like Christian religious holidays are the only ones that have anything added or in addition to being celebrated or believed.
Ok, Persians do have a mythical figure who brings gifts to children during one of their holidays- Amu Nowroz. Seems to be a pretty old concept- giving gifts to kids...how fun!
LMG-I think one thing that your grandsons may enjoy is the NORAD Santa tracking on Christmas Eve. My grandkids love it and have followed it for the last several years.
@hgentry619 Thanks to @Kateplusmy8 I could tell the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite in the cave yesterday! Watching TV pays off! _________________________________________

Butterfly: Interesting...didn't know that but I totally agree that the smiles and laughter of my kiddos from Christmas' past still warm my heart....they will all be home this year YAY!! With spouses! Full house...my daughter is ready for a family so I could be looking at being a gramma within the next year! So excited! Thanks for investigating. : )
I'm enjoying all of the Christmas memories and never view those types of posts as a competition. I think what the drive-bys don't get is that this is a community where people talk about kids, grandkids, recipes, computer problems and many, many other topics. That's what makes it so fun to read.
Carry on LMG and all of the other OTers. I'm feeling mighty bah-humbug this year and this blog cheers me up.
A week or so ago didn't someone post that stupid isn't a word to be used for the sheeple?
*************** lol, Jane! Too funny! I remembered that, and I was going to say something like "if ever there was a word to describe this sheeple, it would be stupid," but I thought I'd be good.

Ah, yes. Every cloud has a silver lining. :)
{{whispering}} but let's not put any ideas out there.
I love reading the stories and memories from others, I think all the anonymous people (or maybe it's just one) are just really missing Kate since she isn't tweeting them, and they are probably bored with Milo too so they wander over here.
Kate is a Twit, thank you! I had never heard of that website before and just went there to check it out. My boys would love it! I'm going to call my daughter tomorrow and tell her about it. Thanks again.
One of my son's friends emailed to ask for my Chex Mix recipe. Uhhhhh ... it's on the back of the box. He laughed. He thought I had a special recipe! I should write a cook book.
It looks as tho they pulled out an old tag and gave her a special number, cuz...you know she's Kate Gosselin.
BTW, Nikki Reed was at the same marathon with her husband and has received twice as much publicity on it. She didn't need a special tag to make her feel important.
LMG - haha for a minute I thought I was talking to myself (wouldn't be the first time). Thanks for the promise to cheer me up!
My newly married kids are spending Christmas with the in-law sides of their families (son lives in Boston and daughter in Italy). I understand we need to share them now but I'm feeling a little sorry for myself.
I love the NORAD site too! Even if I wasn't spending Christmas with my grandkids, I'd be watching it.
LoveMyGrandsons said... 151
You're quite welcome. My grandkids (and I) love it. It's also a way to give them some basics in geography. Last year, when Santa was in Argentina and heading north, they knew it was time to get to bed because he was on his way.
Check out the other tabs on that website, too. It explains about the history of Santa, and also has a recording of "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". There are also other interesting links.
"There are always show ideas out there. I have a lot of great ideas. Things are always in talks. I would love to go forward and do another show -- whatever that encompasses -- so at this point, there's nothing out there."
&&&
Huh??? She has been hinting for the past two months about a show being filmed, especially about some project she was absent for in October. What happened, no one picked it up? (hence all her woe is me life is tough tweets the past few weeks), so now she has to back pedal and pretend nothing was in the works to begin with? Please.
Always in talks but NOTHING ever comes of it. Nothing. December 3, 2012 7:58 AM

The truth is that all the mom swap stuff came from something Robert Hoffman said. Which, like other things, was not true. When will you people learn that RH is throwing out any-/everything he can regardless of truth.
SeeSaw, I understand your feelings. My daughter is an only child and every other year they spend Christmas with my SIL's family. It was hard at first, especially with the grandkids, but it's easier now and we see them every Thanksgiving. We usually do New Years together (or the week after) when it's the inlaws year for Christmas. Either way, it all works out and I've gotten used to it (sorta). Since this is not our year with them for Christmas, the memories come flying in, as they usually do. Enjoy those memories, hon, and think of the many new ones you will have in the future!
It will never be forgiven, it will always be brought up like it's happening now. All I can say is thank God the people in my life, family and friends, don't keep bringing up this or that little transgression from three years ago that has never been repeated again. That would suck to have to live with people like that. December 3, 2012 8:49 AM
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You seriously can say that when all that is done around here is to bring up everything Kate has ever done and said and try to hold her to that even though in life nothing is static.
Are you saying there is a double standard? If it's kate she's held accountable for everything she says no matter how long ago or what the situation was but not for Jon?
Me, I hope you'll stick around long enough to answer why RH hasn't been sued for libel yet. His site is still up. Wouldn't that be gone if it were full of untruths and Kate was suing?
The truth is that all the mom swap stuff came from something Robert Hoffman said. Which, like other things, was not true. When will you people learn that RH is throwing out any-/everything he can regardless of truth. **********
Doesn't someone else do that as well lets see who.........OH ummmm Kate.
So the custody agreement means nothing? I wonder if Jon knows yet that he won't be seeing the kids for Christmas. I'm glad Jon got off of Twitter, but I wish there was a way to give the poor guy some support! December 3, 2012 1:36 PM
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jon knows. The kids want to be at their own home and he's OK with that. You refuse to believe that Jon doesn't have the kids 50% of the time but it is the truth. He just doesn't care to have the kids as much as you all want to believe he does.
After this latest grab for attention from Kate G. I would like to point out the following: she was not asked back to the Kentucky Derby, she was not asked to appear at the Emmy's or DWTS, she was not included in the Red Cross again, she was fired from Coupon Cabin, dare we hope this is the end? Who else would hire a child abusing/pet abusing washed up reality used to be star? KARMA has arrived. IMOO The chickens have come home to roost and I feel sorry for them too! LOL
LMG - thank you for the kind words. I may be overcompensating by trying to make the holiday special for the dog. I was holding him up at the window showing him the neighborhood Christmas lights and ooohing and ahhhhing. He humored me by wagging his tail, but he thinks I'm nuts I'm sure. I'm sure it will get better. They're both so far away (especially the one living in Italy) that visits are precious to me.
Jon knows. The kids want to be at their own home and he's OK with that. You refuse to believe that Jon doesn't have the kids 50% of the time but it is the truth. He just doesn't care to have the kids as much as you all want to believe he does. ****** What I do know is that every so often you post here telling us that you are somehow in the know, yet I've seen nothing that substantiates your claims about Jon. If you know what you say you know, contact Admin and let's set this record straight. I'm open to knowing the truth.
Who watches them while she doing her marathons? Who watched them while she was away for more than a week? Who watched them while she was away on trips w/Steve? Who watches them while she away in NYC getting her weaves fixed? Who watch them while she's on TV begging for another show?
The kids want to be at their own home and he's OK with that. You refuse to believe that Jon doesn't have the kids 50% of the time but it is the truth.
=======================
Oh, gosh...not again. Someone here posted yesterday that this person hasn't been around lately, and here we go again.
If you have something to say, for heaven's sakes, contact admin, get verified and then you might be believed. Until then, yes, you lack credibility as an "insider."
The kids want to be at their own home and he's OK with that. You refuse to believe that Jon doesn't have the kids 50% of the time but it is the truth. ******
I could believe this if Kate wasn't a big lair who lies all the time.
IDModo @ 49 -Kate's hand is not deformed it's just turned palm side up. When I straighten my hand out my fingers bend back the same way. It's a little weird but definitely not deformed.

It's really sad the sheeple don't understand what was wrong about what Kate said about Xmas. Hint: it's irrelevant that what Kate said may have been true.
Liz said... 106 I agree with Kathy P. This blog is not about who is a better mother. It starts to feel like a competition here at times.
********
Well, if it were a competition, it would be OUR competition. Truth is, we thoroughly enjoy reading up on what our "competition's" got. If it's a rivalry, it's a very friendly one, each person wishing the best for the other, reading intently and smiling as each new story unfolds. There is not a thing wrong with cyberfriends talking to each other this way. It's all good. Is that all right with you? I hope so.
Do you have a story to share. We'll listen if you'd like. I'm sure it will be in the running in this "competition".
Looks like Kate already got her roots done in the marathon photos. Must have scooted off to LA before the big race. I don't agree with posters who say her hairline is receding. I think it has always looked that way. She is gaunt though and I bet real proud of that. Her skin looks 'drapey' now. If she has anorexia, it would make sense given what they say about the disease and what can cause it. Hope she doesn't but she has really become obsessed with her looks and body image it seems....maybe she thinks the only way to slim down her bottom half is to starve herself.
Kate is home and has been tweeting up a storm for the past half hour or so. Her first tweet was: @Kateplusmy8: Ahhh home sweet home with all my kiddies -tucked into bed now and life is good.. Good to be home after @RunRocknRoll in Vegas!
Maybe she was there on her own dime. I'm sure if someone else had been paying she'd still be in LV or LA at the very least.
Just saw something interesting. John Travolta's former pilot/lover is being sued by Travolta for talking about them. John Travolta's attorney sent the former pilot a lawsuit and can you take a wild guess who that attorney is????
It's not Laverne, IT'S SHIRLEY!! Marty Singer is John Travolta's attorney AND kate Gosselins attorney! I just don't get that. A mom, who had 8 kids, has an attorney with that much clout and pull in LA? No wonder Jon can't ever win in court. Wow, you know she has spent those kids money on that rich lawyer. Jon needs to get Paul Peterson and help him get his kids for Christmas. She is now saying on ROL that THE KIDS SAID they want to be with HER Christmas and all the days around Christmas.
kate you are such a vile, demanding demon treating those kids and Jon like you do.
Thank you everyone for the congrats on the Grandboy a'comin'!!
Love my Grandsons: I may have to borrow some of your sign on name here:
Love my Grandson! lol better get it copyrighted before the next one comes! lol
Maybe she was there on her own dime. I'm sure if someone else had been paying she'd still be in LV or LA at the very least. ********* I do think RnR sponsors Kate but I get the feeling that she doesn't get the funding she used to. She doesn't spend as much time away as before which is good. Plus all those pics of Kate and no Steve at all. Hmm.
Love My Grandsons: I am just catching up after being away for a few days. Apparently a lot has been swiffered, but please know that I am KathyB and have been here off and on for at least 2 years. I AM NOT THE KATHY P. that was unkind to you. I have always enjoyed your stories and posts so much. Just wanted to clear that up!
Tweetle, bless your heart, I only have two more days of happy dancing. After fourteen seasons (which is only seven years, they do a spring and fall edition) I think Saint Tony of the Ballroom deserves eight days of celebration just cause he is special that way. Only two more days. After that I can focus on Survivor. No spoilers for the West coast! Since my fave Penner got voted off I don't really care who wins.
Chef, Tweet-le - They're like little fruit flies...always one or two flitting around.
If they're so well-informed about Kate why don't they bring something substantial to the table? Something like Kate is flipping burgers in Wysomming McDonalds. Or Kate has signed a contract with DreamWorks and she's starring in a movie with Brad Pitt. Or Shoka is alive, here's the proof. They only repeat what Kate says and it's gospel as far as they're concerned.
I think Saint Tony of the Ballroom deserves eight days of celebration just cause he is special that way.

Can't you have your celebration and happy dancing in your own home? You can do any dance you want, dance as long as you want, mix up some drinks and toast him, tweet him, whatever...but why is it done here? :) Aren't there any DWTS blogs on which to give him his special days of celebration?

That might be a bit difficult, since it's Wyomissing! I've seen the spelling mutilated, but never quite like that! Just teasin about the spellin!
"No wonder Jon can't ever win in court. Wow, you know she has spent those kids money on that rich lawyer"
++++++++++++++++
Singer isn't Kate's attorney for custody issues. Her name is Cheryl Young (Norristown, PA), a family law attorney.
I don't understand why people are picking on Joy. She's happy Tony and Melissa won-what is so bad about her celebrating here. She uses the same name, she has an avatar-when you see her name and avatar, skip over it. Is that so hard to do?
I remember how great Joy was during our parties. She gave us a country-wide tour of historical sites. She hosted one at gave us some fab info about VA sites. I think she's a wonderful poster, and deserves a break.
Must have scooted off to LA before the big race. I don't agree with posters who say her hairline is receding.
+++++++++++++++++++++
I'm not so sure that it's receding as much as it is thinning at the hairline. It's very thin and so it just looks like her forehead grew. It's become very noticeable in the past six months or so.
Kate is a twit said... 198 ''I don't understand why people are picking on Joy......'' ''.......As far as I'm concerned--keep on dancing Joy!'' ~~~~~~~~~ I agree. Keep dancing!
Since admin says we are horrible people for not forgiving Jon, why is his pic still up?
&&&
I never said any such thing. His pic is still up because how I feel about the situation doesn't necessarily dictate everything about how this blog is run. I do listen and respond to the general direction the folks here, the respectful ones, want the blog to go in.
Only two more days. After that I can focus on Survivor. No spoilers for the West coast! Since my fave Penner got voted off I don't really care who wins. ****************************************** Is that a promise?

You know who I bet funded it most of this year? COUPON CABIN. They even organized a run-along with her in Chicago, remember? They were all over this stuff. I bet that's partly why they fired her, because they realized all she cared about was a free trip and the VIP tent, not actually promoting their company. This is just a race she was already scheduled for and it would be bad PR to back out, maybe CC already even bought her plane ticket and booked her hotel before they fired her--bet they did.

Oh but she does have fun like that with her kids. They're always screeching and squealing in delight when they're around her. The woman is a barrel of fun, fun, fun! A big ol' heapin' helpin' of happiness!
She just doesn't have the photos of them doing that so we'll have to take honest Kate's word for it.
she looks horrible
franky
Ah Auntie Ann - "Mlo is the katekeeper". That is brilliant.
But truly, whatevah with this POS as it does appear she will have to pay for her 'hobby' expenses from this point forward. The lack of interest on her twitter feed cannt be ignored as well. Probably her last visit to the swag VIP tent too. Don't let that tent flap hit ya on the way out.
And if only she had a friend who could do a health intervention. If you look at a pre-divorce picture, even the ugly one upthread where she was yanking a child, even with that odd haircut, you can see how much healthier her hair, her skin, her body, was. Her arms were toned, no gaunt look, no too big boobs on a straight frame. Frankly, she's a physical mess. Too bad.
with her
Sorry Rhymes - Technology is NOT my friend!! still can't get ipad working - even after cleaning cache, upgrading crap, etc. Now going to last option - asked DH for help - pray for me. So beyond what others have suggested I am stumped.

franky, I would love to try and help you but I'm not sure what you're asking. You've cooked some yellow beets, right? Are they for a salad? I see some recipes for yellow beets and brown sugar dressing and yellow beets with brown sugar and apple juice glaze. I Googled them:
Yellow Beet recipes
ROL has the article from OMG that the kids do not want to see Jon at Christmas. Too bad Jon can't get some kind of gag order on her. I feel awful for those kids. It has been 3 years since the divorce. Will Kate never let this go?

''I give him credit for showing so much restraint in not talking to the media. Imagine how difficult it must be when someone publicly bashes you and presents only their side. You have to sit back and listen to it, biting your tongue because you want the truth known, but you take the high road for the sake of your kids. It has to hurt, knowing that your ex is a parental alienator, possibly poisoning your kids minds against you, not only in private, but also in the media.''
~~~~~~~~~
Amen! Jon's ability to restrain himself from responding to KK's despicable parental alienation is something to be admired. His comment that he, his kids, his family and friends know the truth is obviously something he truly believes, and that is enough for him. KK's inability to keep her lying hateful mouth shut is responsible for her downfall. As the children get older, it will be more and more apparent which parent is the most respected parent. As for the past, it has always been apparent how much the children love their father. That hasn't changed, and I think it never will, no matter how hard KK tries to turn the children against their father.
Kate is getting more and more negative comments on these articles. Even if you didn't know the history, she sounds like she's begging for freebie gifts, insulting the kids' dad, has greedy kids and she's a shallow lazy person with a 'hobby' of running.
I don't understand what Kate gets of saying things like.-"The kids don't want to see Jon".
She's just freaking sick. I mean who say's things like this and is able to sleep at night?
Kate is sick just sick she must really hate Jon to the core.
Blowing exactly what I thought. It's the old I know the truth so who cares what they want to think. Also I don't owe sheeple an explanation so why follow them down that rabbit hole.
Well done, Kate. Yet another story saying how the kids don't want to spend Christmas with Jon. Also grifting for Apple products. And we don't do Santa? OK, then she goes on about how expensive electronics are. Ugh...how about skip your monthly trip to NYC and see how fast the money can add up.
Those kids worked for years!

I agree that KK is sick...her mental health problems are getting more and more noticeable as time goes on. Her narcissism won't permit her to accept any responsibility for her current position....in her 'sick' mind, it is ALL JON'S FAULT!! !!!!!! It must be Jon's fault, because it sure can't be KK's fault!
One of the classic obsessed parental alienation behaviors is they convince themselves the children love only them, only want to be with them, and are always better off with them. That statement fits right in there with that.
Imagine a world in which you issue disclaimers about Christmas to your kids. Not, "I'm sorry, but Mommy needs to pay the light bills before buying electronic toys." Not, "Hey, how about we give some of our abundance to Toys For Tots, instead." No, she's giving them advanced warning that their unwrapping session won't last a full two hours, maybe more.
Sad, sad, sad.
And yes Remona and Chef: Sick, sick sick.

But Kate does anything & everything to get away from the kids.
From running out of state marathon to supposed filming with an porn star for 9 days.
And Kate doesn't do Santa.
Who in the hell does that to their kids?
Don't most parents keep up the Santa thing till their kids grown out of it?
Oops lets me rephrase-- better off without the other parent even if that means with a nanny.
I'm reading this recent ROL article where Kate states the children usually spend Christmas eve with Jon. My how the mind of a liar forgets. Last year she tweeted that despicable pic of her children holding candles in church on Christmas eve. So which is it? Church or with Jon? Something is not adding up.
Ally she is lost in her own lies she's just so confused what she said and didn't say it's all really bubbling over now. She literally can't say anything anymore without catching her saying something completely different before.
Don't most parents keep up the Santa thing till their kids grown out of it?
********
I think it's so odd. No pics with Santa. Ever. There's so much wonderment as a kid... laying out milk and cookies for Santa. Loved that.
Kate needs to grift a lie-tracker app.
Having to keep all the lies straight must be exhausting. At this point her head is probably ready to explode. Karma.
aarrggh - I don't do OS - you got it DH upgraded to Google chrome and voila - it works - guess Google is pushing for OS upgrades and limiting support - so guess that's the answer
So the custody agreement means nothing? I wonder if Jon knows yet that he won't be seeing the kids for Christmas.
I'm glad Jon got off of Twitter, but I wish there was a way to give the poor guy some support!
She is also still apparently going with the story that she has primary custody of the children. That only she supports...all alone...no one to help her...although I read something the other day that she said a while ago and commented how she would love to clone herself...so she would have help taking care of the kids...ugh, ugh, UGH! Could you imagine 2 of that creature on this planet? Yes, I chose planet because I really can't imagine another one like her, existing, anywhere.
I give Jon a ton of credit. I can't imagine having to hear this crap day in and out and be forced to deal with her. I know how hard it is to not hit below the belt from personal experience. I went through a bitter divorce where my husbands attorney actually sent me nasty dirty email messages. My attorney would warn me of the content first. I wanted nothing more than to defend myself. It hurts when people spread vicious lies about you. My attorney would not do it. At the time I was pissed. Now, looking back, we took the high road...and I'm glad we did!
Growing up, my parents never did Santa, the Easter Bunny or what have you. Churchwise...it wasn't something that was encouraged by a long shot.
I don't think I regret not being excited like maybe other kids were. I feel sorry for Kate's kids that she has to take that maybe there is a magical aspect to Santa at Christmas I wouldn't know.
What I don't agree with is her stripping her kids of their own voice. "The kids say this, the kids think that..." She probably doesn't even know what they really think. Of her, of how she is, what she does. Not a lot of kids tend to speak to adults, they speak to their peers more than anything else that I know.
She's kidding herself the very least if she thinks she is on her kids' buddy buddy list.
But to those of you who celebrate Christmas with your kids and do Santa and lave out milk and cookies and then you eat them for the kids I think it's nice and I hope that your kids have in the past or will appreciate it now.

I saw this brought up on another blog. In this picture, Kate is posing with 2 other half marathon runners. Notice that her bib is a different color(yellow) than theirs(purple). The 1/2 also looks crooked, as if it was written in with a black Sharpie.
**************************************
I noticed the different colored bibs too and was going to comment on it. I wonder if Kate insisted on having the number '8' on her bib and this is what they came up with. She must feel she is oh so special. Gag.
Kiwi 3 and Laurie 4, thanks, I'll give those things a try.
Lilly, sorry, I must have misunderstood a previous comment that you made.
I am using chrome, btw.
How many of Kate's children will carry the "no Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy" thing into their own adulthood and inflict the same on their children? I certainly hope their spouses nip that idea in the bud, as it's such a magical part of childhood that you always remember.
She's such a b*tch for ruining this for eight children.
she looks horrible
franky
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I avoid commenting on looks, but my gosh, what has she done to herself? She looks anorexic. Her head is too big for her emaciated body. Her neck is so wrinkled and saggy. I looked at the photo of her dancing the jive with Tony and she was so much healthier there with some meat on her bones (as my grandmother used to say). Her hair was pulled back for that dance, and she actually had hair...thick at the hairline and not receding.
She really does need help, psychological and with self-image. She may like to be skinny, but a weight loss like this is going to do serious damage to her physically.

Both Yawn and Khate are big hypocrites whom use their kids and the media attention they've gotten them to make money.

At one time, both Jon and Kate did use their children to cash in. However, Jon has been keeping a low profile for at least a year, if not longer. At some point, I think people ought to at least acknowledge that Jon is not presently pimping out his kids. Fair enough?
You know what's sad? The people here who don't even like her are far more concerned about her health than her own fans. Her own fans just keep encouraging her when really if I were a fan I'd be scared out of my mind she's going to seriously hurt herself with this lifestyle or worse.

But they do have the "Tooth Fairy". Kate wrote a blog post about it on her website.
"I hope they DO NOT have children of their own. I pray their families R not subjected 2the same harsh abusive comments. I pray 4them period!"
88888888888888888
Funny, Milo, I was thinking the same thing about YOUR family, hoping that they are not subjected to this freakish, stalking, obsessive behavior of someone who is psychologically so unstable that they worship at the feet of a middle-aged reality star has-been. Milo, you make a fool of yourself on the internet. How does YOUR family feel about that?
I read that Cara and Mady told the tups there was no Santa, maybe three years ago. Then it was reported that parents at their school were upset because Gosselin kids, maybe the tups, were telling classmates there was no Santa. I do not recall with the fake Christmas filmed many years ago if Santa was mentioned.
Frankly by age 8, many kids have figured it out, but it was a shame that those kids didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the wonder of Santa Claus for many years. I miss those days myself.
Perhaps Kate needs to speak with the woman who was 'catfishing' Nev in 'Catfish'. She tells so many half truths that she will need, I mean, needs help to keep up with her lies. Thing is, she actually thinks the public believes her.
Is there such a thing as pre-tweets? Milo was spitting those things out so fast during the marathon. So much trivia included that she had to have researched each point to have something to tweet about.
Whether others think it's right or wrong, I personally enjoyed the magic of Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy for my daughter and my grandsons.
Yes, they all wrote letters to Santa, put out cookies and milk, and the cutest part was going into their bedroom to check on them Christmas Eve, and finding them covered with a blanket by the window. They fell asleep trying to see Santa's sleigh and the reindeer flying through the sky.
My daughter has great memories of these times, as I do, and I'm sure my grandsons will as well.
When I was growing up, we never had a real fireplace so my parents had one of those cardboard red brick ones. When my daughter was very young, we would tell her that with Santa's magic, he could come in through the fireplace, even though it wasn't real.
On Christmas Eve, after putting the presents under the tree, I would grab my husband's workboots and my bag of artificial snow. Then use his boots and sprinkle the fake snow around them. I would make this path from the cardboard fireplacde to the Christmas tree. Then eat the cookies and drink the milk and leave a big candy cane on the empty cookie plate.
When my daughter woke up in the morning, she was so excited to see the "footprints" leading from the fireplace to the Christmas tree. The special candy cane directly from Santa (on the cookie plate) was a special thrill for her.
The point is childhood is supposed to be a magical, fanciful time for children no matter what your faith. Stripping a child of a right to let their imaginations sore is wrong. Muslim and Jewish children still have fantasies and pretending last I checked, as log as their parents aren't the kind that loves to suck the fun out of everything. There is more to being a good parent than keeping your kid alive.
What on earth is wrong with Kate's left hand in the picture? It looks deformed, as if the fingers were on backwards. The palm looks like it has veins in it like the back of a hand would normally have.
Is it just that she has become so skeletal that her hands are now claw-like?
I really hope someone is able to convince her of the need for a healthy diet before she collapses while running, or worse, while driving the kids somewhere.
She is one sick lady.

Think of all those Jewish, Muslim, etc. children who are permanently scarred by not experiencing the magic of Santa and the Easter Bunny. Horrible parents of different faiths inflicting such punishment on their children...
________________________________
REALLY?? So there aren't ANY Jewish children that believe in Santa? Wrong. I know many who were taught the tale of Santa Claus and had there picture taken and sent off a list. Just because you don't celebrate Christmas doesn't mean you are deprived of Santa Claus. BTW, lots of my Jewish friends had the tooth fairy growing up, too. Glad to have opened your eyes a little but to our pluralistic society where traditions can intermingle freely.

Anonymous, there are quite a few blogs that I don't agree with, but it is their right to have opinions that differ from mine. However, I don't go on them, knowing I disagree with them, just so I can stir things up by posting my negative views of their opinions. If I don't agree with a blog or website, I don't waste my time going there; just like with friends, you choose sites based on those that have similar views to your own. Unless of course you are trying to stir things up.
Is Kate really 37 years old? Looking at the pics I would put her in the late 40's. The neck looks old and wrinkley. Look closely at the eyes and there's the crow's feet, and a lot of them. It's time for a face and neck lift.
Kate is just another example of people in Hollywood ruining their looks. I don't consider Kate Hollywood, but she is in the entertainment field (well, sort of).
Pardon me soar.
I didn't assume it based on just Santa.
Writing sic is condescending and rude, thus you have no credibility and no one takes you seriously.
Yep butterfly :). I just made a general statement about children's imaginations. I never said anything about Santa. It's the sheeple assume that which says how defensive they are.
The Christmas season has morphed into a general holiday of giving and family and friends that many people of all faiths take part in. Sad to assume that only Christians have a magical time at Christmas.
It's not tragic that the kids "don't do Santa" but I think that it's because Kate didn't want this mythical man stealing her thunder with regards to gifts, and that's what I think is a shame.
The real tragedy of course is the continuous alienation of their father and having their privacy invaded and anonymity taken away, probably for life.
Santa is magical! Santa always left sooty glove prints on the fireplace walls and scattered ashes and logs when my kids were little. They even manged to 'catch' him on a grainy video, just the bottom half of his red suit and big black boots filling the stockings. How excited the kids were!
Unless for religious or other beliefs, I think it's sad to deprive your children of such fun and the spirit of Christmas, loving and giving and yes, receiving.It's almost cruel for Kate to do so.(and to their classmates)
Admin #59, I agree 100%. Although I am a Christian, I have given gifts to Muslim friends at work and they have also given me one. It is the spirit of the season that many people celebrate, whether they agree with my personal beliefs or not.

yeah Kate (and especially her neck) would look so much better with some weight on her bones. It would fill her out in a good way- women over 35 only look gaunt when they are too thin, not sexy (not that 25 year olds look sexy being underweight, but they pull it off better). Anyway, her face and neck would look younger with more weight, flesh is a good thing :)

Me too, LoveMyGrandsons :o)
The look on their innocent faces was precious.
Both my kids were told by their school friends that we were lying to them- that Santa didn't exist.
Very disappointing.
But the kids DO celebrate Christmas. They aren't Muslim. In a way that's worse because they are surrounded by talk of Santa and probably realize they missed something in their celebrations through the years.
Hi, Pink! My grandsons are still believers; my daughter told me she knew there wasn't a Santa the Christmas before her 9th birthday. It came from conversations with friends at lunch. Either way, I knew it would eventually come to an end, but for a parent, it's kind of sad when it happens, isn't it? It's the big sign that they're growing up and not our "little ones" anymore.
Pink, come to think of it, it was right before Easter after my daughter's 9th birthday when she told me that she knew the Easter Bunny wasn't real. Then we started talking and that's when she told me she knew Santa wasn't real, but she went along with it the last Christmas because she thought it meant alot to me so she didn't want me to know she knew the truth!
Ok so what are all the Kate fans seeing that I'm not seeing when I look at these pictures of her? They're saying she looks young, fresh-faced and beautiful! What?! I do think Kate is attractive but come on! Again I think the fans are saying these things just to piss the non-fans off and it looks like it's working!
I don't disagree but if it were about being fundamentalists they wouldn't believe in the tooth fairy either. It's just about Kate wanting the credit for the presents at the expense of depriving them of something very fun about Christmas. If it were about a noble cause like religion that would be easier to understand. If she were fundamentalist she wouldn't let then believe in the tooth fairy. It's clearly not about religion.
Anonymous, did you miss my comment #54? It seems like you are just coming here to attack Admin's comments. You lose credibility when your posts come across as just a gripe against a particular person.
There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian sects that are anti-Santa. Kate didn't pull that out of thin air and her children are hardly the only Christian children that aren't privy to the magic of Santa.
******
That's true and I think their anti-Santa stance is in alignment with their overall lifestyle.
With Kate, I see her as having moved quite far from her evangelical Christian lifestyle, with bible verses on her shirts and all the fleecing of flocks of people at their speaking engagements.
Which is to say that I don't believe religion was the root of that decision.
And they certainly lose credibility when they type "sic". Condescending unhappy person. News flash I didn't say that original comment about Santa and never did. Ya got the wrong person sheriff!
Right on, Tucker's Mom!! That is exactly the point with Kate.
Fundamentalists also don't dress like Kate or talk badly about their ex's like Kate or even usually get divorced so there goes that theory.
Aren't the fundamentalists the ones who believe in corporal punishment?
Anonymous #74: Ahhhh, so you are trying to stir things up. Got it.
Fundamentalists also don't dress like Kate
*********
Actually, I think Kate is swinging back to the middle with her clothing choices. Boy, there was a year or two there that she dressed like a hooker, but it seems her need to wear revealing tops and ridiculous heels has diminished.
No Christian woman would wear such revealing get ups around married men and their teenage boys.
If I recall correctly, Jon and Kate stated they told the twins the truth about Santa because they didn't want to "lie" to their children. What a crock that was to me when I heard it. I began waking up about that couple around that time. All the scripture tee-shirts and notes around the house just played in to the fans they were working on and fleecing at the time. This is such a horrible story, really. They took such advantage of good, Christian, trusting viewers with their fake story lines and grifting. I don't care how many marathons Kate runs. She can't run away from the impression we all have of her. Ugly, really ugly.
Bonjour, Frankie....
My spin on yellow beets pickling: try adding smashed garlic gloves, sliced sweet onions (oignons espagnols ou oignons blancs, in french...) and a little bit of freshly grated ginger if you have it on hand. Distibute everything evenly in your glass jars, add salt and whole peppercorns, then pour over your very hot vinegar.

There are countless other tweets where Kate AND her twitter fans have gone after Jon.
Didn't Kate bully EM Tanner?
Didn't she just bully Liz on twitter?

Wasn't Kate's quote on People magazine cover, the one in a bikini, "Dont I DESERVE to look this good? Arent I ENTITLED to this body?"
SHE asked the question, we are answering her!
You know there has been conversation that Kate is trying to make for what the thinks she lacked in her childhood- I would not be one bit surprised if a good number of the G8 grow and decide they will have Santa et al for their children, and put their kids in scouts, and become homeroom parents, and have nice family meals, especially at the holidays with both sides of the family invited because that is what they lacked growing up. Would serve Kate right. Maybe then she will see the light, what is truly important.

From her tweets she's got the kids watching the videos of their shows over and over. No wonder they talk about it all the time.
No, they do not believe in the tooth fairy. Do you get why they dont do Santa or other things like it? The whole point is the strict interpretation of having no other gods before God. Creatures you look up to who bring you things are too close for comfort to that admonishment. A general storybook about fairies, however, probably would be fine because you're not worshiping them in any way.
butterfly, what I recall Kate saying about her childhood is that they didn't go on fancy trips and she wanted to provide that for her kids because she missed those things when she was younger. I am of the opinion that Kate didn't really have a bad childhood, she just didn't get everything she wanted and she felt cheated by that. In my opinion, it seems like her family couldn't afford alot of extravagant things and that's what she always wanted. That's why she was so willing to sell her children so she could get those things. Of course, she said it was for the kids, but babies and toddlers don't know about such things. Besides, she has shown by what she spends that it was all for her, never for the kids.
I have to agree with what Anonymous said at #65. Kate didn't just pull no Santa out of thin air, she pulled it out of her a$$.
Filming, hiring other people to wrap, buy presents, hide presents, etc. and to not take credit for all of it? Nope, there cannot be a Santa in Kate's world. Just another instance of her sucking the joy out of anything. Staying up late to make sure the kids are asleep to leave out cookies, etc. is something Kate would never do, let alone fake snow on the floor with footprints, oh the horror!
Santa is a huge part of a kids childhood. Why do kids tell other kids there is no Santa, it's not to make them happy. No disrepect to those that don't do Santa, Kate just doesn't for the wrong reasons.
I still believe in Santa :)

------------------
I guess it depends on the church. I was raised in an extremely fundamental church, no movies on Sunday, no dances on Sunday, my mother did no laundry on Sunday...we weren't even allowed to use a scissors on Sunday because it was considered "work." I could never quite figure that one out. We had Sunday morning services, Sunday evening services, and mid-week prayer services, along with "revival" services once a year. I thought it was all ridiculous, but looking back now, I wouldn't have traded any of it. It was a very important part of my childhood.
However, we did believe in Santa, the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy. In fact, Santa came to our Sunday School classes and handed out candy and oranges. My parents, I think, were more upset than I was when I found out that none of those entities existed.
I was at the mall today. There was an Amish couple and a Mennonite couple with kids in line to see Santa. Nothing surprises me anymore.
This Kate believe's in the Christmas spirit.

OMG Chef, thanks for posting that clip again. Those guys were hilarious when they were on her case.
Yep, Auntie Ann, the only one that REALLY matters to Kate, is Kate.

@Kateplusmy8 Good Evening Kate... are you flying in the air?? Travel safe.
Nope. She's flying underground. Geez...
Her commercial and material needs at this season, her lack of interest in the fantasy (Santa) really makes one wonder what her life was like growing up. As an adult she just sucks the holiday spirit dry. Unless, of course, she is the one getting a gift. Sad.
Gah. Stop with all the patting yourself on the back. The over the top bragging is ridiculous.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Gah yourself. There was no bragging in this. The poster was reminiscing about her daughter's Christmas excitement. If you find that distasteful, go elsewhere and gah there.
Kathy P., your comment was uncalled for. It was not patting myself on the back. The comment was about parents making Christmas memories for their children. Their were various stories shared of our childhood experiences, as well as what we did for our children. You were rude and insulting.
Kate says they don't do Santa, yet she references him in her tweets.

Thank goodness 4 Internet shopping... Santas sleigh pulled in (my suv driven,loaded &unloaded by me!)&so the elves (me) better get working!

Why mention him at all, except to point out that she is "Santa"?
From Robert's book:
THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS. BUT THERE IS A MS CLAUSE?
icedtea92 @Kateplusmy8 Do ur kids still believe in Santa?
@icedtea92 no never did here :) result is the same tho ;)
NiiiicoleeH @Kateplusmy8 Merry Christmas ! Do your kids still believe in Santa ?? If theydon’t, did u tell them ? Or did they find out themselves ?? :)
@NiiiicoleeH we never did Santa! :) results are the same tho :) 12.24.11
smileydancer456 @Kateplusmy8 do your kids buy gifts for each other? And do they still believe in santa?
@smileydancer456 cara and Mady do (w their own $.. so cute) and no Santa here but result is the same so no big deal! :) 12.24.11
Is this a canned response from Kate’s PR person? “result is the same tho ;),” “results are the same tho :),” “result is the same so no big deal! :)” Ok Kate, so you’ve deprived your children of the wonder and magic that is the tradition of believing in Santa Claus. That’s fine, you’re the parent, it’s against your religious beliefs, etc. But why then do you get to pretend to be ‘Ms Clause?’ and to spell it incorrectly while you’re at it? That’s being a little bit inconsistent, wouldn’t you say Kate?
Silly tweeties... I see you calling me! I'm eyeball deep in wrapping and (shh) presents... I'm playin Ms Clause tonight... No run again 2day!
HspncElvis @Kateplusmy8 MSD having a few drinks in your honor tonight. :O)
@HspncElvis cool thanks. Ms clause is too busy to party
wildfirecrew @Kateplusmy8I struggle w/ 3kids, 1DIL & 1grand… Does Santa leave his gifts wrapped or unwrapped at ur house? Santa leaves our unwrapped.
@wildfirecrew nope, everything including stocking gifts are wrapped here… This santa is a glutton for punishment I know! Lol
And from Kate’s own website: 8 things that tell me it’s Christmastime: DECEMBER 24, 2011
3. My bedroom is no longer anything but Ms Claus’ Workshop – I cannot walk in any direction without fear of colliding with a wrapped package!
Hoffman, Robert (2012-09-27). KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD (Kindle Locations 30948-30949). . Kindle Edition.
So the kids don't celebrate the magic of Santa, but it's okay for Kate to refer to herself as Santa, or as Mrs. Claus. Seems kind of hypocritical to me.
Here's something to "gah" about:
@Paige_Kate8fan

''Gah. Stop with all the patting yourself on the back. The over the top bragging is ridiculous. ''
~~~~~~~~
What I think is ridiculous is your inability to tell the difference between telling about a sweet memory of the past and ''over the top bragging''. I feel sorry for you.
LaLa (82),"If I recall correctly, Jon and Kate stated they told the twins the truth about Santa because they didn't want to "lie" to their children."
88888888888
I remember that, too. It was okay, though, to lie to their children that Mommy and Daddy would be together forever, when the marriage was already doomed during the Hawaii trip. It was okay to lie to their children that it was Christmas Day when it wasn't, and it had to be done to fit into the filming schedule.
First off, let me say that I do Santa with my kids and I am a Christian.
However, I don't think that one needs Santa Claus to celebrate Christmas. As a Christian, I try and remember that Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ and the hope of salvation He brought into this world. Santa Claus, gift giving, Christmas trees, feasts are all wonderful traditions and my family and I make them part of our yearly celebration but they are a different aspect of the holiday all together.
So what is Christmas all about? As Linus so eloquently put it:
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
No mention of Santa Claus. No mention of Christmas trees. No mention of holiday feasts.
Just glorifying God and remembering to be good to each other and live in peace.
"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
Thank you, Twittering. It's wonderful to look back on those memories of seeing the joy in your child's eyes and on their face, on Christmas morning. Yes, I reminisce alot, a mom and grandma's perrogative!
I agree with Kathy P.
This blog is not about who is a better mother. It starts to feel like a competition here at times.
LMG's stories are terrific. Just ignore, continue on ;-)
Tweetle and Remona Blue, thank you. Kathy P. obviously has some problems just like Kate's sheeple.
Silimom, the Charlie Brown Christmas special perfectly explained to children the "reason for the season". I love it!
regular poster & amp, Dwindle doesn't "butt in", she posts her opinions on previous comments and subjects like we all do. Please get off of it already.

Okay, then.
Let me re-phrase my earlier Post #38. It's a magical part of childhood for Christian children.
Better, Anonymous? Or is there something else you want to get off your chest?
Kate tweeted yesterday: "Hey guys! We are at the VIP tent awaiting the start of the half marathon! Me and my awesome marathon girls! Photo won't load...:("
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nothing like a little bragging there, Kate...patting yourself on the back for being at the VIP tent. Why not just say "tent" or hanging out with my friends before the marathon begins?

I am having a post-DWTS let down this evening. No new episode to watch tonight. Fortunately I planned ahead and will watch the finale episode I recorded again!
Hmmm, just saw that Hoarders on A&E has a new episode tonight, the episode description says ”a woman keeps dead cats in her fridge”. Can't miss that! Watching Hoarders always gives me motivation to get up and start cleaning right away. Please note this does not involve throwing anything down stairs as we have seen Ms Kreider do on film in the past.

When you're right, you're right. Sometimes it DOES feel like competition about who can be the most hateful to other posters....which one can be the most insulting.....which one can be the most rude. In my opinion....you are all a bunch of silly idiots. (Yes, I called you all a name!!)
LovemyGrandsons, I always enjoy reading what you have to say. You seem truly wonderful and it is fantastic that your grandsons mean so much to you :) They are lucky to have you.
I have some question for the sheeple, please answer without deflecting or blaming Jon: do you personally agree with the way Kate acts toward Jon? Do you feel that it is healthy or fair to always be dissing your ex, implying that the children would rather not be with him? If you were divorced (perhaps you are or have been or will be), is this how you would act? You always defend it and sometimes, downright encourage it. Does that mean you admire such behavior?
I sure hope not, because it SUCKS.
Thanks, Tucker's Mom. I try to ignore, but boy, it sure is hard sometimes!
One of my fondest memories of Christmas with my grandchildren is when my then 6 year old grandson read "The Night Before Christmas". He is now 8 and he still believes in Santa. I get a kick out of him and his 5 yr old sister explaining Christmas, Jesus and Santa to their 1 year sister. They know the true meaning of Christmas, but also experience the magic of it as well.
To me, that's the best of both worlds.

It's not a competition. It is sharing memories and family stories. Do these people not do this with their friends and families and co-workers? This is no different. I enjoy the stories, ladies, they bring a smile to my face. I even get some ideas for the holidays.
LMG,
I thought what you shared was soooo cute!! If my kid was still little, I would steal your idea and do that for her. Guess I'll do it when I become a g-ma. Thank you for sharing.
Now for some cookie recipes...Ladies.....
That was so sweek, Working Woman, thank you. However, I'm not wonderful, but my grandsons sure are!
Steal away, butterfly. But remember to have a camera ready to catch the look on their faces!
Joy in Virginia, I'm not going to post this anonymously. If I take heat for it so be it.
You could try the patience of Job on your happy dance, in my opinion. I REARELY b*tch about what's going on here. If I don't agree or don't want to read something I scroll on by. But really.........

Working Woman said... 115
If the Yahoo article about Kate's Christmas was exactly the same, but Jon's name was substituted for Kate's, the sheeple would be vilifying Jon left and right. They would trash him first for giving out custody information, say that he's cheap by saying "electronics are expensive" and lastly say that he's putting Kate down to make himself look good. How dare he? Plus they'd throw in that he had to sell an article to pay the rent or whatever bill they think he owes.
But when Kate does it-she's praised for being a wonderful mother, and that of course, the kids prefer to be with her instead of Jon.
Chiming in on the Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny debate...
At about age 7 or 8, my son announced to me that he knew there was no Easter Bunny. You see, my MIL always gave him a basket and told him that the Easter Bunny left it for him at her house. (She's a very "practical" person, not into toys and candy for kids, and would fill his basket with socks and underwear and such.) "Mom, really, what Easter bunny would bring you this stuff?"
As for me, I still believe. Saw a sign recently that said, "when you stop believing in Santa you get underwear", and I don't want to chance it!
I remember they had stockings on the fake Xmas show- from Pottery Bran iirc...and
"Mrs Clause" ( sic)as she wrote it once- wrapped the stocking presents...why have stockings if there's no Santa?
Tweetle, hon, it's just a daily running joke Joy has going. Personally, I think it's kind of funny. In all honesty, I do enjoy your posts and your opinions. On this one, though, we may disagree, but that's okay.
LMG, I understand where you're coming from. I make a lot of fun of Milo for beating things to death, "Grow a Boyfriend," for example. It doesn't annoy me because it's Milo, it annoys me because it gets old. Maybe it's just me. I sat on my tweeting fingers as long as I could.
Some more from the Book. The article said that the kids usually spend Christmas Eve with Jon--but according to Kate's tweets last year.....
dawnMhernandez @Kateplusmy8 how do you guys do Xmas now? Separate or together? Hope you finish ur wrapping! :)
@dawnMhernandez def seperate. We do Christmas at home, same as always and they do Christmas at their dads after. It's the way kids requested
Hoffman, Robert (2012-09-27). KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD (Kindle Location 31025). . Kindle Edition.
Caught in another lie. And again with the kids requesting it. Kate really does need some kind of app to remind her what she said from one year to the next.

Tweetle, it's okay, hon, we all have our "pet peeves"; I know I have mine!
Sillimanite: thank you for your post....I could not have said it better. as a christian, I struggled with not making "Jesus the reason for the season" after all, Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Savior. We never tried to remove the "magic" of Christmas but in keeping it in line with the true meaning, we celebrated Jesus' birthday, and since we can't give presents to him, we celebrate his birthday and give presents to each other. Kids can still be told about the fable of where St. Nicholas first originated and not lose the "magic". Here's a question...and I'm not trying to stir up anything, really!.... But have you ever noticed that the only religious holidays that have an "alternative" belief is Christianity? For example, Christmas has Santa Claus, Easter (the death and resurrection) has the Easter bunny etc....but there are no Jewish alternative mythical beliefs for Hannukah Or other holy days...or in the Muslim religion? I find that interesting...
Remona Is #1, your post was uncalled for. Remona Blue was responding to an insulting post from another. People that stand up for what they believe in are not rude. What is rude are the people who do the insulting and then get huffy when people call them on it.

_________________________________
Wowser,
Those aren't alternate beliefs. The Easter Bunny is from the pagan spring holiday and Santa Claus is a very German (maybe Scandinavian... I cannot recall) myth that has been incorporated into Christmas. It is interesting though. I'll have to ask my Iranian teachers if they have the same in their culture, because maybe they do, and we just aren't aware of it. That would be fun to know :)

For what it's worth...yes, it gets old, but at least it isn't dancing until the New Year!
Thank you butterfly! Like I said, I am not stirring anything...I really am curious. It just seems like Christian religious holidays are the only ones that have anything added or in addition to being celebrated or believed.
Ok, Persians do have a mythical figure who brings gifts to children during one of their holidays- Amu Nowroz. Seems to be a pretty old concept- giving gifts to kids...how fun!
LMG-I think one thing that your grandsons may enjoy is the NORAD Santa tracking on Christmas Eve. My grandkids love it and have followed it for the last several years.

Butterfly: Interesting...didn't know that but I totally agree that the smiles and laughter of my kiddos from Christmas' past still warm my heart....they will all be home this year YAY!! With spouses! Full house...my daughter is ready for a family so I could be looking at being a gramma within the next year! So excited! Thanks for investigating. : )
I'm enjoying all of the Christmas memories and never view those types of posts as a competition. I think what the drive-bys don't get is that this is a community where people talk about kids, grandkids, recipes, computer problems and many, many other topics. That's what makes it so fun to read.

{{whispering}} but let's not put any ideas out there.
Regardless of what she says, Kate will never play Mrs. Santa for her children.
Why? Because she couldn't stand to be a Subordinate Clause.....
Sorry.Couldn't resist.
Wowser,
That's so nice! Make lots of cookies (feel free to share recipes- hint) and enjoy every minute.
Kate is a twit,
I love that NORAD tracking Santa website, and I'm grown. What can I say?
I love reading the stories and memories from others, I think all the anonymous people (or maybe it's just one) are just really missing Kate since she isn't tweeting them, and they are probably bored with Milo too so they wander over here.
Kate is a Twit, thank you! I had never heard of that website before and just went there to check it out. My boys would love it! I'm going to call my daughter tomorrow and tell her about it. Thanks again.
I felt like Kate today.
One of my son's friends emailed to ask for my Chex Mix recipe. Uhhhhh ... it's on the back of the box. He laughed. He thought I had a special recipe! I should write a cook book.
I hope your Christmas spirit comes back soon! We'll do what we can to keep you cheery!
It's sad some people cant take joy in hearing others fond holiday memories.
Regarding Kate's 'special' number tag. If you go back to the LV Marathon in 2009 you will see that the tag for that race was yellow...here's an example:
http://birthdayshoes.com/media/blogs/photo/Jawa_half_marathon.jpg?mtime=1260479989
It looks as tho they pulled out an old tag and gave her a special number, cuz...you know she's Kate Gosselin.
BTW, Nikki Reed was at the same marathon with her husband and has received twice as much publicity on it. She didn't need a special tag to make her feel important.
Comment #153 was from me TO SeeSaw. Obviously I'm overtired and need to go to bed now! Goodnight all.
(SeeSaw, I hope my goof gave you a laugh at least!)
LMG - haha for a minute I thought I was talking to myself (wouldn't be the first time). Thanks for the promise to cheer me up!
My newly married kids are spending Christmas with the in-law sides of their families (son lives in Boston and daughter in Italy). I understand we need to share them now but I'm feeling a little sorry for myself.

I love the NORAD site too! Even if I wasn't spending Christmas with my grandkids, I'd be watching it.
LoveMyGrandsons said... 151
You're quite welcome. My grandkids (and I) love it. It's also a way to give them some basics in geography. Last year, when Santa was in Argentina and heading north, they knew it was time to get to bed because he was on his way.
Check out the other tabs on that website, too. It explains about the history of Santa, and also has a recording of "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". There are also other interesting links.

Huh??? She has been hinting for the past two months about a show being filmed, especially about some project she was absent for in October. What happened, no one picked it up?

The truth is that all the mom swap stuff came from something Robert Hoffman said. Which, like other things, was not true. When will you people learn that RH is throwing out any-/everything he can regardless of truth.
SeeSaw, I understand your feelings. My daughter is an only child and every other year they spend Christmas with my SIL's family. It was hard at first, especially with the grandkids, but it's easier now and we see them every Thanksgiving. We usually do New Years together (or the week after) when it's the inlaws year for Christmas. Either way, it all works out and I've gotten used to it (sorta). Since this is not our year with them for Christmas, the memories come flying in, as they usually do. Enjoy those memories, hon, and think of the many new ones you will have in the future!

It will never be forgiven, it will always be brought up like it's happening now. All I can say is thank God the people in my life, family and friends, don't keep bringing up this or that little transgression from three years ago that has never been repeated again. That would suck to have to live with people like that.

You seriously can say that when all that is done around here is to bring up everything Kate has ever done and said and try to hold her to that even though in life nothing is static.
Are you saying there is a double standard? If it's kate she's held accountable for everything she says no matter how long ago or what the situation was but not for Jon?
Me, I hope you'll stick around long enough to answer why RH hasn't been sued for libel yet. His site is still up. Wouldn't that be gone if it were full of untruths and Kate was suing?

Jon knows. The kids want to be at their own home and he's OK with that. You refuse to believe that Jon doesn't have the kids 50% of the time but it is the truth. He just doesn't care to have the kids as much as you all want to believe he does.
After this latest grab for attention from Kate G. I would like to point out the following: she was not asked back to the Kentucky Derby, she was not asked to appear at the Emmy's or DWTS, she was not included in the Red Cross again, she was fired from Coupon Cabin, dare we hope this is the end? Who else would hire a child abusing/pet abusing washed up reality used to be star? KARMA has arrived. IMOO The chickens have come home to roost and I feel sorry for them too! LOL
LMG - thank you for the kind words.
I may be overcompensating by trying to make the holiday special for the dog. I was holding him up at the window showing him the neighborhood Christmas lights and ooohing and ahhhhing. He humored me by wagging his tail, but he thinks I'm nuts I'm sure.
I'm sure it will get better. They're both so far away (especially the one living in Italy) that visits are precious to me.

What I do know is that every so often you post here telling us that you are somehow in the know, yet I've seen nothing that substantiates your claims about Jon. If you know what you say you know, contact Admin and let's set this record straight. I'm open to knowing the truth.
So since Kate is bashing Jon again.
I guess she lied when she say that everything was peachy.
It's also funny that Kate can bash Jon and yet she won't bash Robert...hmmmm

Well anwser this sheep plz.
If she & Jon don't share the kids.
Who watches them while she doing her marathons?
Who watched them while she was away for more than a week?
Who watched them while she was away on trips w/Steve?
Who watches them while she away in NYC getting her weaves fixed?
Who watch them while she's on TV begging for another show?

Well, if it were a competition, it would be OUR competition. Truth is, we thoroughly enjoy reading up on what our "competition's" got. If it's a rivalry, it's a very friendly one, each person wishing the best for the other, reading intently and smiling as each new story unfolds.
There is not a thing wrong with cyberfriends talking to each other this way. It's all good.
Is that all right with you? I hope so.
Do you have a story to share. We'll listen if you'd like. I'm sure it will be in the running in this "competition".
It came from Kate, Deanna and Kendra's tweets too all tweeting about a project.
Looks like Kate already got her roots done in the marathon photos. Must have scooted off to LA before the big race. I don't agree with posters who say her hairline is receding. I think it has always looked that way. She is gaunt though and I bet real proud of that. Her skin looks 'drapey' now. If she has anorexia, it would make sense given what they say about the disease and what can cause it. Hope she doesn't but she has really become obsessed with her looks and body image it seems....maybe she thinks the only way to slim down her bottom half is to starve herself.
Me, Kate's transgressions are ongoing and abundant. Big difference. Huge. She screws up daily nearly lol
Kate is home and has been tweeting up a storm for the past half hour or so. Her first tweet was: @Kateplusmy8: Ahhh home sweet home with all my kiddies -tucked into bed now and life is good.. Good to be home after @RunRocknRoll in Vegas!
Maybe she was there on her own dime. I'm sure if someone else had been paying she'd still be in LV or LA at the very least.

Thanks to @Kateplusmy8 I could tell the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite in the cave yesterday! Watching TV pays off!
Oh. My. Gosh. Kate's just a fountain of knowledge. Ask her who is on Mt. Rushmore.

lol, Auntie! I've been sitting on my fingers, trying my darndest to behave. I'll join you though and say to them, "GET THEE HENCE!"
Just saw something interesting. John Travolta's former pilot/lover is being sued by Travolta for talking about them. John Travolta's attorney sent the former pilot a lawsuit and can you take a wild guess who that attorney is????
It's not Laverne, IT'S SHIRLEY!! Marty Singer is John Travolta's attorney AND kate Gosselins attorney! I just don't get that. A mom, who had 8 kids, has an attorney with that much clout and pull in LA? No wonder Jon can't ever win in court. Wow, you know she has spent those kids money on that rich lawyer. Jon needs to get Paul Peterson and help him get his kids for Christmas. She is now saying on ROL that THE KIDS SAID they want to be with HER Christmas and all the days around Christmas.
kate you are such a vile, demanding demon treating those kids and Jon like you do.
Thank you everyone for the congrats on the Grandboy a'comin'!!
Love my Grandsons: I may have to borrow some of your sign on name here:
Love my Grandson! lol better get it copyrighted before the next one comes! lol

I do think RnR sponsors Kate but I get the feeling that she doesn't get the funding she used to. She doesn't spend as much time away as before which is good. Plus all those pics of Kate and no Steve at all. Hmm.
Love My Grandsons: I am just catching up after being away for a few days. Apparently a lot has been swiffered, but please know that I am KathyB and have been here off and on for at least 2 years. I AM NOT THE KATHY P. that was unkind to you. I have always enjoyed your stories and posts so much.
Just wanted to clear that up!
It bugs me when Kate says the kids want to be at home.
Maybe they consider it as having 2 homes, one with parent?
Tweetle, bless your heart, I only have two more days of happy dancing. After fourteen seasons (which is only seven years, they do a spring and fall edition) I think Saint Tony of the Ballroom deserves eight days of celebration just cause he is special that way.
Only two more days. After that I can focus on Survivor. No spoilers for the West coast! Since my fave Penner got voted off I don't really care who wins.
That was supposed to be "one with EACH parent".
DANCIN WITH THEM THAR STARS -- I don't get it. But joy, I'm glad you love it, but could we please give the them thar crap a rest. Pretty please!

Ya'll two should know better "tisk tisk".
Kate8 is here and to stay.
And so are her her lame sheep.
What a shock! She came home instead of jetting to LA first?
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
Chef, Tweet-le - They're like little fruit flies...always one or two flitting around.
If they're so well-informed about Kate why don't they bring something substantial to the table? Something like Kate is flipping burgers in Wysomming McDonalds. Or Kate has signed a contract with DreamWorks and she's starring in a movie with Brad Pitt. Or Shoka is alive, here's the proof. They only repeat what Kate says and it's gospel as far as they're concerned.

-------------------
Can't you have your celebration and happy dancing in your own home? You can do any dance you want, dance as long as you want, mix up some drinks and toast him, tweet him, whatever...but why is it done here? :) Aren't there any DWTS blogs on which to give him his special days of celebration?
Since admin says we are horrible people for not forgiving Jon, why is his pic still up?

That might be a bit difficult, since it's Wyomissing! I've seen the spelling mutilated, but never quite like that!
Just teasin about the spellin!
"No wonder Jon can't ever win in court. Wow, you know she has spent those kids money on that rich lawyer"
++++++++++++++++
Singer isn't Kate's attorney for custody issues. Her name is Cheryl Young (Norristown, PA), a family law attorney.
I don't understand why people are picking on Joy. She's happy Tony and Melissa won-what is so bad about her celebrating here. She uses the same name, she has an avatar-when you see her name and avatar, skip over it. Is that so hard to do?
I remember how great Joy was during our parties. She gave us a country-wide tour of historical sites. She hosted one at gave us some fab info about VA sites. I think she's a wonderful poster, and deserves a break.
As far as I'm concerned--keep on dancing Joy!
Must have scooted off to LA before the big race. I don't agree with posters who say her hairline is receding.
+++++++++++++++++++++
I'm not so sure that it's receding as much as it is thinning at the hairline. It's very thin and so it just looks like her forehead grew. It's become very noticeable in the past six months or so.

I agree. Keep dancing!

I never said any such thing. His pic is still up because how I feel about the situation doesn't necessarily dictate everything about how this blog is run. I do listen and respond to the general direction the folks here, the respectful ones, want the blog to go in.

Is that a promise?

You know who I bet funded it most of this year? COUPON CABIN. They even organized a run-along with her in Chicago, remember? They were all over this stuff. I bet that's partly why they fired her, because they realized all she cared about was a free trip and the VIP tent, not actually promoting their company. This is just a race she was already scheduled for and it would be bad PR to back out, maybe CC already even bought her plane ticket and booked her hotel before they fired her--bet they did.
Why wouldn't they cancel the ticket then? They had plenty of time.
