Holidays - November 2007

I want to have a Christmas party- however, when I have parties I usually spend weeks cleaning and waaayy too much money on food and drink. How can I have a low cost- low effort party?

Let's say I had a $20 Walmart giftcard. Let's say I went to Walmart's giftcard tower and decided I wanted to buy an Applbee's giftcard. Could I use my Walmart giftcard to buy the Applebee's giftcard???

And does it differ with each person you write them for? I always feel a bit awkward writing "love" to my manager.. :|

I was reading on yahoo about the real and fake X-mas trees. It was saying that you cannot leave a real tree up more than a couple of days. HA I think that this is halarious, Every year my family and I travel up to the mountains here in north carolina to go to our usual christmas tree farm, and every year we cut our own x-mas tree from the side of a mtn (or the top). This is always tradition and every year our tree stays up over a month it has been known to stay up 2 months and it will still be as green and fresh as the day we bought it. The needles will still be intact and the smell still wofting through the house. My question for yall is how long have you had your real tree up for and it still look and feel as healthy as the day you cut it. Pre cut trees do not apply unless you know 100% that they were cut that day just a few hours before. (I know some farms that cut trees for a small selection so some people do not have to climb the mtn to find the perfect tree) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

I like to make people gifts for Christmas because like anyone else with a morgage and bills, this time of year gets tight. :o)

I thought about making the women in my family Christmas cook books. I want to use a small stocking on the outside of the small cookbook so it looks like a stalking book cover.

For the men I am going to make those roasted nuts that you can buy in malls.

Any other good ideas that are not very expensive to make. Last year I made these jars with poupori and chirstmas lights in them and they were a big hit.

In our building they prohibited natural trees this year as it is a fire hasard. I want to build the case for keeping them as my children are heart broken and I believe (without supporting data) that there are many other problems to focus on besides trees (especially if the tree is watered properly). Any links, articles, statistics would be appreciated.

Finally - is there any difference between real and artificial trees when it comes to flamability... I would think that the plastics in the artificial trees would be flamable also.

In 2004 i almost died of a lung disease from my job. I was a sandblaster for 11 years and it destroyed my left lung and a quarter of my right. I have been in a workman's compeneation suit for 3 years with no end in sight. I have filed for disability but was turned down "I was told i would be turned down the first time". I have filed an appeal, who knows when this will happen. I have went back to school to receive a degree in buissness. We are barely surviving as a family but we are strong. I have twin 15 year old daughters and a 13 year old son who are very supportive. They understand the situation and pretend that going without does't bother them. They are all 4.0 students and i am very proud of them. I would really like to surprise them with a nice Christmas and that is where i ask for help. They don't expect to receive a whole lot if anything for Christmas, they say dad its not your fault we understand. can anyone help by donating gifts for my kids. God Bless You.

Do you think it takes away from the thought of giving a gift to the special people (mainly family) in your life? This year, it seems anyways, I have been hearing and seeing quite a bit of commercials for store gift cards as Christmas gifts to 'save time, hassle and/or money' of regular shopping.

Just wondering what others thinks of gift cards as a Christmas gift.

I want to hang christmas lights in my apartment this year. I was raised not celebrating, so this will be the first time decortating for the holiday.
Here's my question: what do I use to hang the lights? I live in an apartment, so I don't want to damage the walls, so what can I use?
Thanks :)

My boyfriend and I are trying to decide what to buy his father for Christmas. His dad makes good money and doesn't really need anything. His hobby is woodworking and we want to get him something related to that just not sure what. I suggested a wood burning kit but I guess he had one before and didn't like it.

I decided to take a different approach to Christmas. I was run ragged with the idea of buying for my friends and family. WHY? Why should we give to grown adults that probably have so much "crap" at home anyway. I decided to donate to reputable charities in a few people's name. Finally a gift to someone who really will appreciate a gift and although I won't be there to see them at least I know I did something for someone who really needs a present.

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a " Holiday ".*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X-BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
; * Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*


*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*


*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,

not Happy Holiday!*

For example I think that giving lottery tickets as gifts is awful.
