Holidays - October 2007

Going home for the holidays, going to church, and visiting my friends' families are not options for me. My family of origin is very unhealthy. While I am on a spiritual path, I no longer believe in organized religion or the institutional church.

Yet, I do still love Christmas. It is a truly holy day, a spiritual day, for me--honoring the birth of Jesus (Y'shua) the Christ. Yeah, yeah, I know that Dec. 25 is prob. not the day He was actually born. Nevertheless this is the day most of us celebrate His holy birth, and the birth of all he represents: love, light, peace, liberation, goodwill toward all human kind.

I perform the next day, so I will be with friends then. What can I do on Christmas Day--to honor the day and to keep the holiday blues at bay?

For ex., for Thanksgiving I am going to Ithaca, NY (very cool) for a much needed mini-vacation in beautiful upstate NY with a friend fr. India who is also on his own for the holidays.

I usually try and get a neutral holiday card to send out to friends and family every year but just really like some designs that are Xmas themed. Is it rude to send out these photocards to friends who are Jewish or don't celebrate Xmas? I usually order about 80 photocards with my son and dog on them to send out.

I LOVE Christmas!!! It is the BEST time of the year! I LOVE decorating for Christmas! I have some cute ideas!
Mini Tree:
You get a Christmas tree cake holder, fill it with fake pine needles, and fake snow. Take ten mini remote controlled lights ( You can get all this at the Dollar General ), and some Christmas ribbon, decorate, and enjoy!
Claus House:
Go to Walmart, get a " Mr. and Mrs. Claus House ", foam craft kit, follow directions, and enjoy!
Christmas Colored S'mores Brownies:
Buy your fav brownie mix, make batter as directed, EXCEPT: before you cook it you, put in 1/3 bag of mini marshmellows, and 1/2 tube of red and green sprinkles! Yes you cook the sprinkles, it changes the color of the brownie to red and green! Try it, you'll LOVE it!

Have A Merry Christmas!

So why do people have to drag Satan into Halloween? Why should believe its all evil and sinister?

Hi. So yeah i think i lost my previous costume that i was planning on wearing during the time i was moving my stuff from one house to another.

As of right now i only have a cape with red collar.
i was wondering if anyone could think of anything i could do to obviously make this into a costume.
It would be nice to have prices as low as possible seeing that my parents will NOT buy me a new costume.

THank you for your ideas :D

anyone know where I can find a good mask or make-up to make my face look like Mr. Hyde from the 1932 movie Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with Fredric March?, I just saw that movie last week and I thought that it would make a very good, scary Halloween costume, I'm sure I could find fake monster teeth that resembles him, but anyhow about the mask or make-up?

is halloween only celebrated in US? Who celebrate it and is it for fun purpose for kids or for religious or traditional purposes.
Are adults serious about it or can ignore it?

Is any other person born on Christmas or another holiday?

P.s. I have a friend born on New Years, and another had her birthday on Thanksgiving last year.

at church we have a "safe" thing where we decorate the trunks of our cars/entire car in a theme. We park our cars in the parking lot and fill the trunk with candy and people trick or treat from us that way. The theme we chose is the 50s. We have the usual Party City stuff. How can we go ALL OUT this year and win? I thought of christmas lights, but I dont have electricity connecting to the car. What are some "high tech" things we can do?

Even harmless things like trick or treat have pagenistic meanings. They gave treats to ward off spirits. Jack O laterns, witches lit them to do spells. Every bit is terrible and wrong. Any1 agree?

I heard my friend talking about this haunted house that is 10 floors and you get $10 for each floor you pass. Each floor though gets scarier as you go on. It also goes that no one has made it to the end. There was no part about you letting them touch you because most of those Haunted House myths that mention that are false. So if a haunted house like this exists can someone pleas tell me what and where it is.
