Holidays - November 2006

This holiday season, my family and I have decided to start a new family tradition of volunteering at soup kitchens and toy collection centers. This is in light of Oprah's pay it forward campaign. We don't have money to donate so we figured that this could be a way to make a positive contribution while teaching the kids to have empathy of others and appreciate what they have. Do any of you have any holiday traditions of this nature? What do you do to help others?

He is 22, and my price range is $20 and under. I have looked through lots of stores websites and came up with nothing. It has to be leather. Can anyone please give me some ideas of anything cheap and leather, but something cool. Thanks.

Anyone know of a good place to buy a real tree? I'm in Southeastern Michigan and can't find a decent place to cut down my own. I don't like those little places that sell precut trees but I don't want to spend $75 for a friggin tree. Ughhhhh

My parents never taught me that Santa Clause was real because they feel it's going to make the child loose their confidence in their parents and that all I was taught. So what's the point of teaching kids Santa?

For me its not just the holidays that matter. Its about bundling up on the couch with my sisters and sipping hot cocoa while watching The Grinch. Its about family and friends, and pine trees and that first winter snow. Its days like today, when we run around in the backyard chasing that first winter flurry. Happy Holidays!

I am looking to print these out on card stock and place them inside the christmas card for everyone to keep. Something cute and nice, and sweet, something for people to have. This is going to family members only.

Do these colors have any significance in Jewish religion or did someone just make them up? (I'm Christian)

I've become Scrooge and the Grinch rolled into one and I wonder if I'm not the only one. Let me clarify, I'm not mean or rude or anything, I'm just tired of Christmas being shoved down my throat every second from Nov 1 on. The commercialism is impossible to ignore as it is constantly advertised on TV, the newspaper, and every storefront. I'm tired of the overspending every year that my wife does which contributes to my kids becoming more and more materialistic. I find it difficult to focus on the "true meaning of Christmas" because I don't know what it is anymore and every one around me appears to be caught up in only the hype. I'm no longer very religious so I don't find comfort in the Christian beginings of the holiday. Any ideas on brightening my mood?

My older kids are getting harder to buy for. I am sure I wil do just fine in picking out their presents, but thought I could get a few new ideas by asking. The boys are 11, and the girls are 9 and 7. My girls have outgrown barbies, and dolls and are really into big girl things...CD's etc...trying to think of some creative ideas. And, what for 11 year old boys?? Any good game ideas? THANKS! Have a Merry Christmas!!
