Holidays - October 2007

To me Christmas has gotten very commercial. I did celebrate the holiday growing up but now it's just a paid day off work. I'm just wondering do most people celebrate Xmas because it was taught and do they really understand the so called holiday traditions and what they really mean? What about the peganism associated with Xmas?

Sorry I used to love Christmas, now I just hate it. I wish I could just hop on a plane and skip the whole thing! It's just a farce.

Ok the kids look forward to it but really I'd rather take all that money and plop it into a beach vacation away from everyone.

I'm being Daphne from Scooby doo, and just found the perfect boots, except they are red. They are similar to these, except mine are a high quality leather:

Anyone know how I can dye them so that they look more like this?...

When you decorate your house for Christmas do you have it themed by color and style or is it just a hodgepodge off stuff you've collected through the years?

My mother was in a shoppingcenter in Maryland about 3 days ago and they were hanging the Christmas decorations on the lamp posts in the parking lot and the grocery store has Christmas trees on all the registers... Personally it makes me NOT want to shop there... I just don't understand, why so early?

I know people are complaining saying it's too early in the year to be talking or thinking about Christmas - but is there anyone else like me who has to start planning etc really early to make sure you can afford all the things you need??

I am a single parent, work full time and my wages aren't too bad BUT ----- when your still paying all the household bills AND trying to sort out Christmas it does become a bit of a strain - so starting ealrier in the year is the only solution!!!

Also the gadgets kids ask for seem to be getting more and more expensive each year!! or is that just my daughter getting older - Christmas is such a worry for me! (although I do love it!)

What about you??

I'm 25 and Im married to my husband and we live alone. Every since I left my parent's home at a younger age I never really got into the spirit again. It always kinda crept up on me and I never felt it ever since then. What could I do to start feeling it again? I want that magic to come back.
