I have a ton of secualr stuff (santa, reindeer, snowpeople, etc) However, I am looking to add Christian themed decorations to my collection to decorate with this year. Christian stores are just so expensive anymore because the mass merchandisers rarely carry religious themed Christmas things. Is there any artsy stuff I can do that isnt too time consuming an expensive for a one income family? Thanks in advance for your help!

Any time I ask them, they always say they don't want anything. But obviously I'm going to get them nothing. What are good gifts to get for parents? Should I make something?

If so what are you dreading?

People playing the role of Santa Claus in Australia have been warned not to use his traditional greeting of 'ho ho ho' for fear that it may offend women. 'Ho' is a derogatory term meaning hooker or prostitute. Do you think Santa should quit saying it?

We had Turkey, Ham, Duck, Prime Rib, Chicken, Rabbit, Quail, Scallops, Salmon, Sweet Potatoes, 2 kinds of stuffing (Oyster stuffing and regular Turkey stuffing), Peas, Corn, Broccoli with or without cheese sauce, A beautiful multi lettuce salad. Homemade Bread, Corn Bread, French Bread, Blueberry Muffins, Pumkin Pie, Apple Pie, Blueberry Pie, And those who indulged had Egg Nog that I sneaked some liquor into. We consumed about one fourth of what was served and sent mass amounts home to our guests. Exactly like Thanksgiving should be. I love to be an American!

Do you feel the Holidays have just become too commercial?

I feel so pressured to shop shop shop! I was actually feeling guilty because I didnt go shopping today! It's almost as if some one fires a starting gun as soon as the 1st store opens on Black Friday and its all just a big race to January 1st! Like its some kind of professional sporting event! UGHHH

I really dont even feel like putting up our tree this year... its all just become TOO MUCH!

There are Christmas decorations up as early as October these days! Its just CRAZY.

I make cookies for all my extended friends and family. Including long held family recipes that we only make once a year. I also hand write the gretting in my Christmas cards.
When I do decorate for the season I incorporate Chritmas, Hannuka and Kwanza decorations in our house.

What do you do to make the Holiday season special and not commercial?

My sister is 19 years old, and I have absolutely no idea what to get her for Christmas.

I know what I DON'T want to get her. Body lotions, DVDs, CDs, gift cards, candies... Other people already get her those things, and I've made the mistake of getting her such things previous years---only to find them in her closet months later.

I want to get her something she can use. But I'm also on a budget. I'm only 16 and my income is minimal....

So I'm not that close with her. I don't know TOO much about her. But here's some info that may help:

-She travels 40-ish minutes every day to work, so her car is her life.

-She's not super girly at all, but she isn't a tom-boy. She appreciates feminine things, but she doesn't wear jewelery.

-She has a laptop, which she uses primarily to talk to her friends.

I can't think of any hobbies she has... I'm at a loss. I really don't know what to get her.

It would be great if you could help at all, any ideas. Anything...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a Christmas tree look more unique?

My husband and I were married in April, this is our first Christmas tree. We bought red, light green, and silver ornaments, white lights, silver strands of beads and a red star to put on the tree but it still looks a little ....blah. Does anyone have any ideas to liven it up a bit, without adding any other colors?

It amazes me how people will go into debt buying gifts. What's the purpose ? Your credit gets ruined if you fail to pay on time or end up getting laid off or whatever. The day after christmas everthing you spent boo koo bucks on just went 50% to 80% offf ! I find all this gift buying for the retailer not the consumer. Its obsurd. The best gifts of all are the ones from the heart. Look at what it has done all over the world...the children that feel left out because they dont have a gift under a tree if they have a tree at all on christmas morning. This Holiday as we created it in tradition has created heavy hearts. Is that what Christmas is supposed to be ???????

I am a teacher and I drew the principal's name. We give a small gift each day for four days(just a couple of bucks...like candy and such) and then we give a $10-$20 gift on the evening of our Christmas party. My boss is very wealthy...she will tell anyone that "camping to her is staying in a four star hotel"...that is a direct quote. I have the small gifts covered...but I am having serious trouble thinking of the "big" gift.

My family has decided to just buy one gender neutral gift per person and then we'll draw for the gifts. Do you have any good ideas for gender neutral gifts?

I just finished watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" on DVD. I can't see any reason why the doll is a misfit toy. The doll has her own website plus a reference to wikipedia. Wiki states the doll is a misfit due to pyschological reasons. I think that's a load of garbage and not what the show's producers originally had in mind. So my question to you folks is: why do you think the doll is a misfit ?
