I had given someone a 4oz (travel size) body splash, lotion & shower gel, along with a small clear makeup bag, all from B & B Works. It came out to be around $13-$15 total. She got me a $20 gift card. I feel bad because I know she spent a little more. Does my gift look cheap? Do you think it matters, especially when you work with a lot of people & don't really know how much to spend, or is it really just the thought that counts? Thanks

Living in a predominantly Muslim society, I don't consider Christmas (by this I mean Santa) to be commercialized over the roof, however in other parts of the world, it may seem to be over-exploited. Many people say that Christmas now is an over-the-top holiday frenzie, which is arguably true.

Many people also say that Christmas is about giving and not receiving (just like Santa). This is sweet, really, and I really don't want to offend anyone, but I think this kind of misses the spot. Though giving is a virtue, the meaning is the birth of Christ.

I do acknowledge that Christmas and Easter we know today may have been somewhat influenced/derived from pagan traditions. But I wouldn't say that Christmas and Easter are pagan celebrations, since commemorations of the birth and resurrection of Christ (the ACTUAL Christmas and Easter) must've gone on (however subtle) ever since His resurrection. I do think that the cultures had assimilated with the celebration of winter and fertility.

Well, my brother whom I've not seen in years just arrived today and I was very glad to see him again. Although, he seems to talk more to my other brother than me. It's like as if he's treating me like I was invisible. Usually he just says a sentence or two to me and then he and my brother start talking for ages. They are both 20 + years old and so they probably talk alot since they have alot in common. At this moment, he and my brother are at a pub while I'm at home alone. Tommorow, they will go out together and do some shopping. As I'm only 13 years old, it hurts to see my brother just forget about me like that. He'll only be here for the holidays and he's already starting to forget about me. I feel so sad and maybe jealous. I've not seen him for over 10 years and I was so excited to see him today but now my hope is crushed. What should I do? I don't want to pester him and seem annoying. Help!

I know my wife has bought a Christmas gift for me "from the baby." I need to get her one "from the baby" as well. The problem is that I have no idea what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A young man most likely in his 20s bumped into me in a crowded shopping arena & some few distances afterwards i discovered money & my office ID card missing from my pocket yesterday afternoon. Please let all of us be extra carefull while in crowded shopping areas.

Personally, I'm of the 'everything in it's place and maximum two colours' (usually red and silver) school of thought.

Growing up, there was never a formal Christmas Eve dinner and I wanted some ideas as to what to cook. I know that traditional dishes are fish. I was going to make mussells in marinara and crab legs. What are some other dishes I can put together?

Any one who has funny story like this :
My friend (not me ok?) and her husband got in the bus for their trip for the day. As they got in, the driver asked, SINGLE? then my friend replied and said, NO, we're married. (if you didn't understand what the driver means, then you live in a country where it is different) The driver was asking my friend if she's paying only for a one-way ticket. And she thinks the driver was asking if she's single ( I think it's funny, we were laughing when she told us this)
