I'm a pretty good artist. I draw a lot of portraits and have painted several murals. For Christmas, I drew one of my relatives a portrait of her two kids as a gift. In addition to the drawing I bought a gift. She thanked me for the store-bought gift but not the drawing that I put a lot of time and effort into. The rest of my family complimented the drawing and said that it looked just like the kids. However, I'm not offended if she didn't like it. In fact, I'd be more than willing to take it back and work on it more until she was happy with it. However, it really irks me that she couldn't even thank me for the effort. Am I in the wrong? What would you do?

My family is having their Christmas celebration next weekend and I’m looking for good ideas on how I can wrap my presents. For example: one year I wrapped the box in duct tape, and then wrapped it with reg. Christmas paper. Then, another time I filled the box with that expandable crack sealer that turns hard after it dries so they had to dig through all that crap to get to their gift! Any other ideas?

Was it a certain gift, seeing someone you haven't seen in a while, going on a trip, an old tradition, eating, a new tradition made, decorating, or something else?!

I'm not here to belittle anyone's religious beliefs. I'm just curious if there are any atheist families that celebrate Christmas for other reasons such as habit (maybe they grew up Christian but changed), secular appreciation for the spirit of giving, or not wanting their kids to feel left out.

I am not a religious person by any means. I do not believe in God or Jesus (or the Devil for that matter)... but I do still celebrate Christmas with my family every year. I do it because I enjoy being with my big family and I love seeing everyone and buying them gifts and spending many days together... Obviously I don't celebrate the holiday for what it supposedly means, but I'm curious as to how others who do not believe in God handle this?

A Christmas miracle seemed the only hope for a five-year-old Melbourne boy [Matthew Ristovski] who had been on life support for four weeks after his heart suddenly failed, however, to the amazement of his doctors, a rare medical phenomenon has saved his life, Matthew's heart recovered in the early hours of Christmas Day.

Mine was my first child. A precious baby girl named Morey Alexis Noelle Springuel, that was born on December 22nd, 2007. She is sleeping next to me right now, and she looks like a little angel. She is so perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. So my question is, what was your best Christmas present this year. It doesn't have to be a material thing, like a movie or book. It can be anything, like a hug or a kind word.

I've come to the conclusion that the hassle of Xmas is not worth it. I'm only going to concentrate on doing things for the children in our extended family and ditch the traditional B.S. stuff. No more travelling, trees, etc...........It causes too much stress for everyone, even throws the kids schedule off making them very miserable. I don't know who benefits from any of this, as the tradition is a MAJOR CHORE for everyone now....and is looked forward to with dread. Are you with me?

This year, my husband and I only bought gifts for our immediate family. But, when we spent Christmas day with all of his extended family, we received gifts from them. (We had nothing to give in return, and I have to say, I felt rather jerk-ish!) Should we put some gifts in the mail and call it "Merry New Year" or just let it go? The reason we did not buy for EVERYONE is because we both felt the gift thing can get really out of control, and sort of didn't want to deal with it this year. Plus, we recently put out a large sum of money on some purchases for our home. So, I need some opinions. And please, no lectures about the choices we made, just thoughts about what we could/should do now. ;-)

It is awesomely perfect in every way! I'd love to know who originally wrote it.

Link to my blog of it here: http://naivemelody.blogsome.com/2007/12/26/fw-a-letter-from-jesus-christ-concerning-his-birthday-celebration/

It starts like this:

Dear children,

It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you’ve forgotten that I wasn’t actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of you’re predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what was actually a time of pagan festival. Although, I do appreciate being remembered - anytime.

How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don’t care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth just, GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Now, having said that let Me go on.

I work in a hostel for homeless guys. I made all the dinner with help from my workmate and the thanks were along the lines of "Aye well that was nice hen but you'll be getting paid double time for this" Is it me or does anyone else feel deflated by the whole Christmas "thing" now?

My cross-country team is having a Christmas party and we're doing secret santa. Of course, I have a wicked shy girl that rarely talks. The limit is $10-$15 dollars. I need ideas please!
