Holidays - November 2006

It is the first time my husband and I are going to celebrate the event in our own house. There are going to be 8 adults and 10 kids.
I appreciate all the help you can give me (including recipes for appetizers, entrees, desserts etc)

even if you don't know which holidays the person or people celebrate? if so, is it because you are christian and interested in "keeping the christ in christmas", or just because christmas is the holiday that you celebrate, and think "merry christmas" is a nice thing to say? i am not christian, but i do celebrate christmas, though not in a religious manner, and i think wishing people a merry christmas is a very nice thing to do. i am curious as to your thoughts on the matter. however, i am quite familiar with christian beliefs, so don't use this as an opportunity to retell the story of jesus. just answer the question. thank you....and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Do you celbrate Christmas? Or Kwaanza? Or Hankuhah. Sorry if I spelled those wrong. I mean no disrespect.

Are you going to help families who have less than you? Are you going to make some of your gifts? Do you make Christmas ornaments? What are your traditions? I'm curious. How do you make your Christmas last all December long rather than just the one special day? Or do you?

I want to give everyone in my family something great for Christmas, but unfortunately we do not have a lot of money at all. Please give me some ideas or websites where I can find Christmas gifts that are nice but can be made cheaply. Thanks!!

Send them a Christmas Card! It is time to get out your CHRISTMAS cards list! As the ACLU are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world. Make sure it says "Merry CHRISTMAS" on the inside only. Here's the address; just don't be rude or crude. (It's not the Christian way, you know!) ACLU 125 Broad Street 18th Floor New York, NY 10004 Two tons of CHRISTMAS cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 39 cents and tell the ACLU to leave CHRISTMAS alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a "Holiday Tree". . . . It's a CHRISTMAS Tree! Pass this on to your e-mail buddies.

why I ask: we have a culturely diverse office and were discussing the christmas holiday and were wondering if the world celebrates the holiday the same way Americans do or if they celebrate the holiday at all.

I met a woman in a store today, returning candy canes that she purchased for her sons class. The candy canes were sent back home because as the school said they are religious symbols, I ask what is so religious about a candy cane? All of this religious stuff is ruining the childrens fun at school! Remember the old days when we had Christmas parties, Halloween parties and did cute pictures for Easter? All of that is gone now because of religion. I am not religious and this is getting on my last nerve! Anyone else feel the same way

On a particular Christmas season a long long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.



When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, an the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.

So frustrated , Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. Only to discover the elves had hidden it so he had nothing to drink.

Just then the doorbell rang and Santa trudge to the door. There was a little angel with a huge Christmas tree.
She said "Merry Christmas. Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you Where would you like me to stick it?"

Well, it's getting to that time of the year again, and there's all these serious faced folk going round saying that we have all forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. I thought I knew what Christmas was all about - sprogg born in barn to "virgin" turns out to be son of God etc.

However, to be sure, I did a little research and thought the best thing was to find information about the first Christmas - surely that one had to give rise to this elusive true meaning...

It was not long until I happened across a vaguely familiar Christmas carol which informs us that the first Noel...."was to frighten poor shepherds in fields where they lay..."

Consequently, I shall be spending Christmas day in Wales, scaring the shite out of shepherds - which sounds like a lot more fun than watching the queen's speech and yelling into grannies hearing aid etc.

So what I want to know is, how do you scare shepherds - are there any special Christmassy techniques, or will the usual stuff work?

Funny how some people responded to my question, "Will Americans have to move to Canada to say, Merry Christmas? As a child, we sang traditional Christmas carols in school, and those children who were particularly religious, prayed before eating their lunch. We all respected it even if we didn't do it ourselves.

Christmas is a national holiday. Why is it that some well-meaning liberals think it's their duty to sterilize it and turn it into a secular holiday. I say, hate us if you want to, but leave us alone. No one is forcing you to sing "Away in a Manger". OK?

One person narrowmindedly "assumed" I didn't recognize other religions or that I was "shoving" a religion down someone's throat. That's funny because, Christmas is not celebrated by Mormons yet they aren't crying about it. It's not celebrated by Jewish people yet they respect our right to celebrate it. My athiest friends respect our tradition too.
Liberals, please get a clue.

I always end up with the gift bags. Which was okay when my children were younger. Now that they are in the 5th grade what would be age appropiate for their party bags?

My husband grew up a Jehova's witness... i grew up a Baptist... so our beliefs are different. He never celebrated Christmas as a kid... and really doesn't want to celebrate it now... How do I get him to enjoy the season a little more. We have a 6mo. old too.

Personally I think the fuss over whether or not someone says Merry Christmass or Happy Holidays is silly. No one can stop you from doing Christmas how you want to do it. Who cares what someone says to you in a dept store? There is no conspiracy agaist Christmas and everyone doesn't have to celebrate Christmas the same way you do it.

also before you even say it Christmas was not always about Christ. It used to be a harvest celebration that was changed into Christmas with the rise of Christianity and the incorporation of Christian traditions. and I'm sure we all know Santa, snow. elves, trees and all that other stuff have nothing to do with Christ.

When do you put it up? Who puts it up? I'm asking because when my husband and I had our first Christmas together last year, I found myself assembling the artificial tree we bought by myself, and decorating it, and putting the lights on, and the star!!! To him, that is normal, but for me, tradition is that the dad puts the tree up and the lights on, and then we play christmas music and have hot chocolate while everyone decorates the tree, and each year someone different puts the star on top.

If someone said to you that Christmas has been cancelled, would you actually care?

I normally love this time of year, but for some reason I seem to have no Christmas spirit this time round. I have yet to buy any presents, and I honestly don't know what I'm going to get anyone. I really wish that I could just hibernate untill 2007.

Before the day, after the day, a set date or its just a general guidelines to what "may" happen if you do it!

I usually start several days before to get the kinks worked out, so I can get to it full throttle by the 1st.

Its seems that everyone is expected to celebrate, no home parties are any good as everyone is so spread about and clubs, pubs and cabs all charge the earth !!
