Holidays - December 2006

I'm turning fourteen in a few weeks, and I need some ideas for a small birthday party. I can only invite up to five people. Any ideas for me?

I asked why is it that the origins of holidays don't bother people enough to make them consider why they are celebrating them.... ?

Origins DO matter. If they didn't, no one would record history. So wouldn't you be concerned if a so-called "Christian" holiday was not Christian at all???

Think of it this way: You see a piece of candy lying in the gutter. It's covered in dirt & filth. You know you love candy and it tastes yummy ... but where did this come from?? It came from a place that was unclean.

It is the same with many holidays. They are not Christian-based, and the Bible makes no mention of celebrating any of these holidays. As a matter of fact, the Bible strongly condemns many practices associated with holidays.

They were all thought up and passed down through time by different rulers, religious leaders, cultures, etc. Why try to pass them off as "Christian"??? ... when they clearly are NOT.

Christmas is a time for gladness,
With eggnog filling lots of glasses.
The Christmas spirit you can see
For presents 're under the Christmas tree.

With all the stockings over flowing,
The fireplace is brightly glowing.
The hot chocolates steamin', the marshmallows 're meltin',
And the family's inside merrily decoratin'.

Tinsel and lights twinkle away.
The sounds of bells remind us of sleighs.
The smell of ginger and pine
Help us reminisce the olden time.

After eating candies and cookies galore,
The children are ready to explore.
Snow on the ground crunches under their feet
While mom's inside baking another good treat.

The children had lots of fun
Now that the day is all done.
They're too excited and can't fall asleep.
They've tried everything, from lying still to counting sheep.

The parents are putting up the last touches for Christmas,
While the children's' night is extremely restless.
The children don't dream of sugarplums this night;
They're too busy wondering what their presents will be like.

Would Santa Claus come again this year?
For the bells on his sleigh, you never could hear.
Not one of the children have ever seen that jolly old soul,
But their parents are good friends with him, or so they are told.

Christmas is such a beautiful day.
It's the feeling of giving that makes it that way.
The gifts are all open, and the day is now done.
The best thing of all is that Santa DID come!

Hi, and don't tell me Overstock, because I found nothing under or around 10$ that was worth it. And that is the price-range I am looking for for this one side of my family. I DID go to the Yves-Rocher online website, and they are GREAT price-wise, but they ONLY have beauty type products and that won't cover everyone on this family list. Anyone know of any other sites that are as cheap as Yves-Rocher but with more variety product-wise?

I was thinking about getting my boyfriend's parents some chocolate for the holidays because his parents love chocolate (His father can't eat dark chocolate) but I don't know what kind to get them? I was looking at Godiva, See's candy, Ferrero Rocher, and there's some belgium chocolate at the store I work at, but I have never sampled any of these myself. Can someone give me any ideas on what is the best kind? Thanks!

One of my brothers and I have a running thing that we give our presents to each in other creative, weird, silly, whatever! ways to each other and I need something good this year. In the past it started with wrapping the presents a million times, then we would send each other on scavenger hunts and stuff, and then last year he gave me a box of about one hundred keys and sent me on a hunt type thing that led to a tool box with chains wrapped around and three bolts closing it and I had to go through the keys one by one to get all three locks open. Took about thirty minutes to get the first lock and then about ten more minutes to finish. So as you can see its pretty all out. ANY IDEAS? or suggestions that can lead to ideas? Anything!!

I work for a very wealthy attorney. Anyone he needs or wants, he has. Trying to come up with Christmas gift idea. He is married and has an 8 year old daughter. Anyway, was thinking of maybe a board game that he can play with his family. Is this a really silly idea? Be honest, I can take it :) Thanks for your help. And any other suggestions would be great.

I know what the person wants, but do I wait until the holiday party to give it to the person? But that would defeat the purpose of a 'secret santa' no?
