Christmas - December 2006

I know its a cliche. I don't celebrate Christmas in the Christian sense, I celebrate it in the old school yule sense i.e. bringing light into winter,celebrating family time, gift giving etc. I got back from a shopping trip in London yesterday and I'm starting to seethe with the commercialism of it all. Whats your favourite bit of the whole festive season?

Last year at my fathers company xmas party there was around 150 people, mainly older people including a couple in their late 50's who i will call Geoff and Jean. (hoping they're not reading this)

It was around 11pm and everyone was well oiled and fed so all in a good mood, a few daft games, a few speaches and jokes so on with the dancing.

The DJ started to play some Country music at the request of my father who promptly announced on the mike that Jean must come to the dance floor to show everyone how to Line Dance.

She had been going to Line Dancing for over two years and my father thought it would be a bit of fun but she had to be dragged onto the floor and it quickly came apparent she had no idea how to Line Dance at all.

Her husband then started screaming at her in front of everyone because he then knew the truth, she'd been having an affair for all that time and had been having sex with her lover on tuesday nights!

I'm looking for a way to get spiders out of my tree. Pesticides are NOT an option!
1. They are flammable, which is a bad mix with wood and electric mini lights.
2. I have two small kids and two cats. The residue from pesticides can get on the kid's skin and clothing, or on the cat's fur when they brush against the tree. Plus, the cats like to play with the needles that fall. My one cat will actually carry them around in his mouth; a little treasure that he won't give up.
Replacing the tree isn't something I want to do. Is there any natural way, i.e. no chemicals, to clean them out of my tree?

I just started at this company and they do a variation of the secret santa game. The name of the gift must match the name of the person. I drew Jessica S. So the gift must have a J and S in it. (ex. Jake Brown --> Jelly Beans). Any ideas?

They won't let the ringers stand outside their stores and collect for the needy. I think it is shameful when this wonderful organization does so much good for those in need. Your thoughts?

Well it's been a rough year for my husband and I instead of going up everything has been going down hill for us my husband lost his job 2 months after I had our twin boys and I was supposed to be in school but I've been trying to find work instead it's a bad year when you can't even get hired at Mcdonalds my husband has been turned down from many jobs this year along because of his past records but he has made a drastic change and I'm trying hard to keep him from going back to what he used to do. It's just has been terrible and all we are trying to do is make sure our kids have a nice christmas we have twin boys 8 months and a 2 year old daughter. If you have any advice I'm accepting.
