As a small kid was there something you REALLY REALLY wanted as a kid? You know that one thing that every kid wanted for christmas that year, that every kid on the block got BUT you?
If so what was it and did you ever find out why YOU never got it?

How can I get thru Christmas--My brother died last Christmas--?

I'm having a really hard time doing the holly jolly - but I have to for the little ones who come around. Tonight is especially hard---I was good while people were here but now they're gone, hubby's in bed and I'm here missing my Bro!!! He died last Christmas and my sister died 6 years ago on 12/20--used to love the whole holiday season--now all I do is cry. What can I do to get the whole spirit back? My kids are grown and have their own life. I give to charities and try to help that way. I guess I just miss my family that's all gone!!!!!!!

can someone translate a poem for me from english to japanese lettering please?

I've searched many lands for elusive peace
Seeking happiness, looking for my mentor.
Sorrow coiled deep inside would not cease
Fear and anger keep me from my protector.
I know she's there, deep inside, hiding in her lair.
My only hope to unveil the secrets, to heal.
Then someday I'll truly love, dance, clearly see
That glorious day when I trust enough to feel
I will have found my own protector, my heart
will open and I'll be free.

What's more important paying your light bill or the churches?

I've got many questions but somehow they just keep getting deleted. Maybe after the cranky crowd goes to bed, I'll ask them then.

Athiest: Proof the bible has amazing insights into the world and human body.?

It is written,
1CO 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body

Now who the hell could have possibly known this in those days, HUH?
This verse is as good as 'The Athiest Nightmare'

How can you all be so ignorant of that UNDENIABLE proof of divine inspiration.
lol

Is it fair to say that Poorer children are Naughtier than rich Kids???

As Santa does not usually give poorer kids good presents, or for that matter, any presents at Christmas, isn't wealth a major determing factor with regards to how naughty or nice a child is deemd to be?

ie: Rich girl gets a pony = great girl.
Ordinary middle'ish class girl gets My Little Pony = quite good, etc...

Why do Christians/Muslims transmit their religion to their children and risk sending them to hell?

both christians and muslims say that those who never hear of Jesus/mohammed's teachings, will be spared from hell. wouldn't you be doing the whole world a favor by completely hiding your faith from every one? surely god wouldn't punish those who never knew?
