Holidays - December 2007

My husband and I are planning to tell my family at Christmas that we're expecting. :) Does anyone have any fun ideas for how I could do this creatively? For instance, I was thinking of having everyone unwrap a baby spoon or baby food... but I want to make it fun. Ideas? Thanks so much!

I went to my park where there is a public nativity scene and took pictures posing with the nativity. Is this wrong? (i'm catholic)

Too often, we max out the credit cards, exhaust ourselves planning or going to parties and stress about what to get who that we miss out on the joy and meaning of this time of the year.

We celebrate Christmas because it marks when Jesus came to earth. It is not Santa coming to town, reindeer prancing or trimming a tree. It is not about eating Christmas cookies till we burst, going to one dull party after another and feeling lonely after it is all said and done.

How about those "after Christmas blues"? What's that all about you say? It's about missing the meaning completely.

This year, don't miss the meaning and see the difference.

Have a very meaningful Christmas everyone!

I want to do gift baskets for Christmas, because we're just starting out and really low on funds.

For my in laws we're going to do a basket including 2 movies ($5 each Wal Mart), popcorn kernels, oils, season shakers, fuzzy slippers for him and her, 2 mugs w/ cocoa packets stuck in them, a warm throw, and some homemade cookies.

Same for my mom!
For my brother we're all pitching in and getting him a wii and guitar hero (do they make that for wii?)

For my husband.... I'm thinking a waterproof watch? What kind of watches can you take w/ you to Iraq? And some massage gadgets from Wal Mart he's had his eyes on!

Do you have any other unique gift basket themes I can use?? Thanks!

I guess mine would be sugar cookies, homebaked and decorated... My mom and I used to do that when I was little!

I also like the Jello Poke Cake I make each year, it is really good and easy to make and fun to decorate, I usually pipe on some Holly Leaves and Berries to make it pretty!

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

A gift that a person didn't really take much time to think about.

Milk bottle tops are decorated in holly leaves, TV adverts ring out Christmas jingles months before hand. And half the people celebrating this huge festival don't even believe in Jesus, God and Christianity. Christmas now revolves around presents, Christmas trees and Father Christmas. Has the meaning of Christmas been lost? Christmas is all about spending money, wrapping presents and writing cards. The stress is relieved when the day finally comes and we can all sit glumly around the table our stomachs full of turkey and cake and realise what an anticlimax it's all been. Does the meaning of Christmas really mean anything anymore? Please share your views...

My best friend has 7 siblings all of different ages, and they aren't the richest people in the world and each christmas they don't get a lot of gifts. This year, i'd like to get each of them something but I don't really know what to get them! Also, I'm not made of money either, and the places I could shop are Dollar General, Wal-Mart, and maybe KB Toys.
Any inexpensive gift ideas and places to shop? Here are the ages:
16 (girl)
12 (girl)
10 (boy)
8 (girl)
4 (girl)
2 (girl)
1 (girl)

Thanks!

I opened my work computer this morning with this request from my boss:

"We need to think about what we are going to do for the wards and the different folks we deal with for Xmas--you 2 get together and come up with some ideas.

I want to do something for all the facilities where the wards live, the county clerks, the attorneys offices, etc. I will do the list you guys come up with a reasonable plan."

Thanks,

Well my reaction was total fear of giving bad ideas. So I am here. Please Give me some sites where I can order in quantity, I guess, or a charming xmas idea. Her request just overwhelmed me!! Help!

My sister-in-laws brother and wife are coming to our house for Christmas. I know her brother, but I don't know his wife very well. I know she is going though chemo right now. His family fights all the time during the holidays, so he wanted to celebrate somewhere else. I got him a gift I'm sure he'll like. But the problem is, I don't know what his wife likes and what she doesn't like.

I was thanking about getting her a gown, robe, and slippers. What do you think?

Because it is not an official holiday, is your company giving you a 'free' holiday? Were waiting to hear back from head office about ours.

I know that we can not be racist but how come we always have to put out our customs behind others.

People of other cultures come to Australia, they choose to. If they are not Christian, we can not stop our Christmas celebrations, or make it ‘low key’ just because they are here.

Why do we have to do this?

Yes, as Christians we respect others, but when do we get to actually celebrate being Christian? If it is always seen as being racist then aren’t they accusing us of the same thing they are doing to us-not letting us celebrate our religion?

The pressure is on and stress on finances, time, relationships and THE family, often leave us with a problem or two pre-Christmas, on the Special Day and or post Christmas.

Reflecting on your ghosts of Christmas' past,
What are you going to do differently this year or have learned from another not to do?
