We already are doing the following:

- Christmas Party in early December(dinner theater comedy show, guest invited)
- Cash bonus
- $20 Gift card for their favorite grocery store (in lieu of turkeys, we don't get a great response when we give turkeys anymore)
- Hallmark ornament customized to their personal hobbies
- Custom snowman wall plaque (www.familysigns.com)
- Rainy Day Fund jar with a $50 gift card inside to their favorite store
- Continental Breakfast on 12/22

Not sure what else to give them. We always give gift baskets full of something. One year it was a breakfast theme with about $100 worth of stuff in it and a gift card. One year we did digital cameras. We thought this year we'd do 5-6 gifts around $10-20 each for each employee and hand them out one at a time (sort of "santa" style) under the tree. We only have 8 employees so it is managable.

Any ideas? We want to keep it personalized & useful for everyone - most employees are in their 40s or 50s.

Today me and my mom were looking at stores for Halloween costumes.. I saw this big stand with TONS of crazy, colorful, glittery glasses and stuff & it made me think of Elton John.. So I told my mom about it and we were talking about wearing like a white top hat, some crazy glasses, and a bright shirt or something then going around singing 'Candle in the Wind' for Halloween.. I know its dorky but it fits my personality lol.. What do you think?

I was walking around shops and have noticed lots of decorations in shops!! My friend thinks that it is way too early for things like that, and I do agree to an extent. . . . .but I love christmas!! I can't help feeling a bit excited and a bit happier, when I walk through the shops!!
What do you think? Is it way too early or do you enjoy the festivities at this time?

Why is it that my daughters pick up all of the bad habits of the father? He leaves the cap of the toothpaste, dirty clothes all over the floor, pass gas, burps, very loud. I am totally the opposite, I am very neat, have manners. They are closer to me, you'd figure they would imitate me, but no, they imitate their father! Will they ever go back and do everything I taught them?

God called women to ministry, however, some people have problem accepting them as senior pastors, why you think they respond this way?

what about bob is a very funny movie-'baby steps' to let Jesus into your heart to be your friend-it will help "The Passion of Christ" to help you understand

Isaiah 52vs13-53vs12 He will be exaulted, yet first MARRED MORE THAN ANY MAN, he will lay down his life to make atonement for sins." well what about that Passion for us and the Passion of the Messiah movie too

someone just answered 1 of my questions stating that the Noahs Ark story is Fact because many cultures have stories about a "great flood". not going to get into the flaws of that arguement here, but it got me thinking:
Different god's impregnating virgins/humans stories go way back, heaven/hell obviously thought up before Jesus came along, miracles like "walking on water" previously described (ancient Egyptian Mythology the God Horus walked on water, and in ancient Greek Mythology the giant hunter and son of the gods Orion walked on water. Both Hindu and Buddhist traditions have stories about walking on water. --Wikipedia), rising from the dead stuff = old hat, the Golden Rule can be attributed hundreds of years BC, the 10 commandments already long part of human morality...etc

How many other "Bible Facts", that are the supposed basis of Christianity, are just lifted from other cultures and religions? Is the Crucifiction the only truly Christian idea or has that been done before too?

Or do people come up to you and ask you questions, assuming that you work there. It has happened to me on occasion. One time I was at Kroger looking at the lunch meats and an elderly lady started to ask me something, and then said, "Oh, do you work here?" I was wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans--not sure what made her think that, but I'm sure something did.

So, has something like this ever happened to you?

The Prophet said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because SATAN HAS STAYED IN THE UPPER PART OF HIS NOSE ALL THE NIGHT." http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/054.sbt.html#004.054.516

I have a theory on this Islamic Haddith. Muhammad made himself a "prophet" among his war party and had scribes taking note of his every move as a result. This is supposedly how the Haddiths (sayings of the Prophet) came to be.

Ok, so people are watching Muhammad all the time and taking note of his deeds, cause this is a sign to them about how Allah wants them to act. One day, they see him picking his nose like everyone else and get a puzzled look on their face. Muhammad quickly responds with a "errr...uhhh...Im picking the devil out of my nose...and..uhh...everyone should do so...a one, a two...a three...yea, thrice!".
