Last year, my office worked with a foster care program in our community. We bought gifts for the kids and the families.

The family gifts included:
* a gift certificate to Wal-Mart
* a gift certificate to Blockbuster
* A box of popcorn
* Small boxes of candy
* McDonalds gift certificates
* A board game
* A disposable camera

For the kids, we bought different gifts based on ages:
* Portable CD Player
* Barbies
* Stuffed animals
* Disney toys
* Art supplies

Well, it's that time of year again, and I need some suggestions. We spend approximately $50 per kid/family, and there will be some attendees from last year. Santa doesn't want to bring the same gifts again, so he's trying to come up with some new ideas.

I'd love to hear of good suggestions for these kids... this is largely what they get for Christmas. They are in attendance for the event, but Santa does hand out the presents.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!!!

How come it feels like Christmas is coming earlier and earlier every year??? It isn't even Thanksgiving and there are Christmas trees for sale and wreaths hanging all around. (ohh.. not to mention the Christmas LIGHTS people already have turned on....) I just don't remember things like this happening until AT least Thanksgiving.

We got our annual free turkey from the grocery store and it's 20 pounds. How many people does that serve? We're mostly into the white meat, so I guess the dog would be included in the dark meat part. Thanks.

Well, I'm doing a paper on americans opinions about muslims before and after 9/11. I just need your opinion on one thing.

Do you support suicide bombings, or find in any way that they can be justified to support Islam? In this article it says nearly 1/4 of young Muslims do.

It's the week before Thanksgiving and when I do my shopping for the week, I end up getting sliced turkey for my sandwich meat for the week. It's like my mind just forgets when Thanksgiving is every year. I don't mind, I love turkey, but I guess I'm just one of those stereotypical guys with the short term memory.

The party is a traditional 'Christmas night' relaxing time for our family and friends to get together. In the past we used something like this (we winged it and it was just ok).
We're Planning a party, please say you'll be here. Let's celebrate the season with good friends and good cheer! When the gifts are unwrapped and the day's almost through, come join us for the night, for it won't be the same without you. As you can see, we weren't very good at it. We don't want to use the same rhyme again. Can anyone help us? Funny would be great!

I'm from the UK and don't understand what the meaning of thanks giving is. It seems to be like our Christmas but you have Christmas too so do you have 2 special days?

I'm confused!

This was something I heard the other day and I find it a really offensive idea.

He is a 27 year old man whom can be quite picky. He'll be taking the whole month of December off, starting the 6th. I'd like to buy something before he gets time off because I normally work mornings from 6 till 9 and I'm afraid I wont have enough time to buy him something after that.

He likes 24, King of Queens, Star Track: Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5 and likes to play X-Box 360 and Wii games. His favorite soccer team is Borussia Dortmund (We live in Germany and he is German.).

He's also a software developer so I wouldn't know what I'd be getting if I buy him for the computer. He's planing on buying a new computer soon.

I'm on a BIG BIG budget this christmas. This has really upset as all my plans now have to be cancelled. I usually have several meals out with family, trips to the theatre and spend £200 on goodies, I also buy a new outfit for christmas day (it's a long going tradition in our family to see my christmas outfit, its usually something silly like an elf).

But this year I cant do much at all. Whereas I normally have about £500 to spend on treats, food and activities (doesnt include presents), I now have about £175. And that money has to be both mine and my partners leisure money over christmas. What can I do?

We never had milk in our household when I was younger...or vegetables 0_0...(HEY I'M 20 and I turned out just fine...)
so I always left FRESCA or some other soft drink and meatloaf or whatever we had for dinner that night (because my cookies were way too precious to share) next to the nativity scene and my sealed letter to santa (which I later in life found in an old shoebox in the closet along with my other letters...yes it was traumatizing...)

...in my innocent mind I think I thought I was being eccentric and relieving the fat white guy from messed up ginger bread cookies made by runny nosed kids....:p

anyway, just wondering if anyone did the same or actually left special cookies and ?% milk....

I've been feeling Christmasy lately...so someone humour me
