My favorite is "the mystery gifts" where everyone buys something that costs the same or more, wraps it, takes it to the party, & then throws it in a pile, then-everyone picks a gift & opens it...if you don't like your gift, maybe someone will trade you...... (I did this every year with my mom's family)

Is it a very "green" thing to do? Is it plastic or real? What do you think is "greener"? Does it have any spiritula significance to you?

I think it might be that the weather down here in Texas is absolute crap at the moment. It isn't Christmas if I can wear shorts outside!

On Friday, a coworker, who is a jehovah's witness, began putting a group of us down for celebrating Christmas, she was making some really insulting comments, telling us we don't know the "truth" and badgering us for our beliefs(she's done this many times) everyone was getting mad , so I said "if you feel that strongly about it, give your Christmas bonus back to the boss". She said if we get it, she should too. I asked "why, if you don't believe in Christmas and don't celebrate it and its so wrong, then you are a hypocrite to accept the bonus, and as a matter of fact, you are a hypocrite to accept our holiday pay since you don't celebrate our holidays". She said if we get those perks, she should too, and that she shouldn't be singled out or penalized for her beliefs, So I said its like a vegetarian accepting meat, even though they don't eat it, even though they don't agree with it, taking it simply because everyone else got some. Should I have just shut up and let her put us down?

I have always hated christmas since i was little. I can't even get into it for my kids. There is nothing worse than being stuck with a bunch of relatives you cant stand all day. Anyone agree.

I have to run out and get my step dad one more little thing. I got him a gift card to the mall for $100. & I got my mom $100 gift card to the mall AND a shirt. I need to get my step dad somethng else little to even it out like a $25 gift. ALL the stores are closed except drug stores and liquor stores. I was going to get him a carton of cigarettes (they are like $30) but it seem ghetto. I was going to get him a bottle of his favorite wine but he doesnt drink. What can i get him at a darn drug store thats not ghetto? LOL

I don't and I really feel guilty. I am so careful about not missing Asr and Isha Prayers. Sometimes I miss Duhr prayers when I am at university and sometimes I miss Maghrib when I am out home. But I pray them most of the time Alhamdulilah. However, I rarely wake up for Fajr prayer. I try hard and whenever I decide that I really want to wake up, I wake up for two consecutive days or threes on time and then I stop.
It is a big problem for me.
I am just wondering how many Muslims here have the same problem and if I can get some advice from fellow muslims who wake up for Fajr prayer Alhamdulilah.

Jazakum Allah Khair

How do you make sure you don't get caught by your kids when putting out Santa's gifts? What lengths do you go to make sure they don't link them to you?

I feel like I have been given so much in my life. I have so much that I don't need and I know that there are people out there who need the money I have so much more then me. It's the season of giving and I want to give back. I was thinking maybe I could buy gifts for some children in the hospital or an orphanage? What do you think? Any other Ideas???

I am from New Zealand and just assumed that everyone had a "boxing day".....that was until I went to the USA on Boxing Day and people looked at me blankly when I said it.

Is it only the Commonwealth countries that have it or have other countries picked up on it as well?
