Christmas - October 2006

I want to have something delivered to them on Christmas Eve, to let them know that we are thinking of them while we are away, that has some Caribbean flair. I was thinking a beautiful tropical floral arrangement, but several of the people are allergic. Any other ideas? Please include web sites so that I may place my order. Thanks!

In Germany they hang a glass pickle on the tree and the first person to find it get a special gift. In England they have "crackers" you wear the paper crown in side. What are some other traditions similar to those and if you know the website where you found it or where it gives the history about it I would greatly appreciate it.

Takes about 3 weks ot get a pack to Iraq.. and then the unit will get it whenever mail gets to them...
You only pay shipping cost to New York not Iraq..

When I was a kid (70's-80's) it was Thanksgiving before the stores started to carry Christman stuff. My mom liked to put our tree up ON turkey day and had to use leftovers bought after the holidays each year. I was at the mall tonight and the Christmas stuff is already out and carols were playing. It's 80 degrees outside and Halloween isn't even over. If I had to buy a costume tonight, I'd have to go as Santa Claus.

What's the deal?

I am wanting to order some Christmas cards. I will be sending the majority of these to friends and family at church. Any website suggestions? I really like cards that are cute but also touching, if that helps.

My parents are away overseas and I'm going to be on my own at Christmas for the first time ever.
Should I go to my cousins (who has four children ranging from 6-20), my best friend (whose fab, but doesn't have anywhere comfortable to sleep) or should I stay here and volunteer at my local hospital?

Do you have any ideas on what sorts of questions I should ask the participants? We want them to fill out a questionaire so the secret givers can get something appropriate...for really inexpensive gifts. What sorts of questions should be on it???

Do you feel safe on the net? If you buy something off the net and then find it isn't what you expected is there time to return it? Or can you? I get some things on the net, but mostly (90%) of the time I go to the store.

We've decided to try to do a family theme for our christmas gifts this year (for Employees). Anyone have any "family themed" ideas to add? We already are doing a cash bonus, a christmas party at a restaurant and a christmas breakfast on Dec 22nd (we shut down the week of Christmas). This is what we have so far:

- An extra day off to spend with family (or whatever they want to do)
- A "rainy day fund" jar and we'll put a $50 gift certificate in it to their favorite store
- A family sign with their names on it (snowmen, it's cute).
- some BBQ grilling rubs and marinades for cooking with your family
- A large collage picture frame

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Does it have to do with the time it took for the shepherds to find the Christ child, or is there some other reason?

Well, it is that time of year again, and I am being asked to put togethere the proverbeal Christmas Wish list from my mothere in law. She has a wild sense of humor, and normally, I am able to come up with anything to make her laugh. I have looked the net over and over for days to find a very fake, very creative, and very funny christmas list for myself(nurse) and husband( US Active Marine).
I get tired of being asked to make one each year, so I thought I would send a funny one, but I have a blank mind, and no resources on the net to find any....
I want SEVERAL, and by SEVERAL, I mean at least 20, each. I know thats a lot, so do not attempt it if its too much for you.
SHe is a pastor, she lives in MD, and had 4 kids....
Thinking caps on!! MINE MUST BE LOST!!!
Thanks to anyone who is helping me!!!

I'm from the Northeast. To me, Christmas means cold weather, snow, chestnuts roasting by the fire, etc. The songs I hear reflect this, and the decorations do too.

Obviously it's a great deal warmer in Texas. How does this affect how Christmas is regarded? Is Santa pictured as someone with warmer clothes? Do songs and decorations reflect the warmer climate?

Should I tell my 11 yr old daughter who just entered middle school that there is no Santa?
What is the right age to tell. I also have an 8 yr old son who still believes also.
