Christmas - December 2007

It's just my Mom and I and we are struggling financially this year. No one wants to put up a tree and decorations 'cause no one wants to take them down and we aren't having any commpany. I thought maybe I should atleast put some lights outside,right? I also got a OWUI (very stupid, I learned my lesson and now am very broke from lawyers and bail) and I am worried that I'll get jail even though it's my first offense. We don't have any family to go to. We would go on a vacation like a New York City or Vancouver Christmas but I screwed that up this year! I was thinking if I could volunteer for an organization that helps the needy with Christmas gifts. We do have enough money to buy some smaller gifts and toys but I'd like to help deliver them so I could see the kid's reactions! Is there such thing as "adopting" a family for Christmas? My dog may be having pups around New Years so that is one thing to look forward to. We live an hour from Chicago so we could go there. HELP!

My hubby is a movie buff! Do you think a subscription to netflix would be a good stocking stuffer? I need something for his stocking, I already got him toiletries. (sorry for spelling). He loves movies, working with his hands (building things) and the Colts.

Even though we don't have children yet we are always talking about the future Holidays w/ kids. As a child I never believed in Santa. My mom taught me the true meaning of Christmas and never ever said "Santa's coming". I want to do the same w/ my children, however, my husband did believe in Santa and wants our kids to do so as well.

My question to everyone out there is which do you prefer? And if you believed in him as a child as well? And should I cave in and side w/ my husband?

Thanks!

I'm having problems finding stocking stuffers for my 22 year old boyfriend. He's pretty intent on getting one, but I don't know what to put in it. I bought a gift certificate for HMV and some chocolate...
But other than that, I'm lost...

Ideas?

I was just wondering if anyone could really tell me why I would dislike christmas so much, its not like I have had bad christmas's or anything and i love Thanksgiving and I love Jesus, I don't know if it is the snow, cold, people being all cheery, or all the commerlization it gets. It just annoys me! Any doctors out there know why I would dislike Christmas?

My vote is for Paul McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time."

Jesus Holy Christ, I hate that song! That dopey, midi-style keyboard, the awkward syntax, the irritating chorus ... and the fact that radio stations and department stores think its "hip" and start playing it ad nauseum beginning November 28th!

That song is almost enough to make me hate Christmas!

Okay, I'm sorry. I guess, what I really want to know is if anyone else finds this song as irritating as I do.

Happy Holidays!

I have a friend, which claims to be an athiest, yet he still celebrates Christmas. How can you celebrate a religous holiday, and claim to be an athiest?

My mom had Christmas plates, serving spoons, serving plates, snack plates, tins even toilet paper with Santas or Christmas trees on it.
Have you ever known anybody that went this far?

I would just like to say that santa saying ho ho ho is traditional for christmas and has been for many centries, If we were to say hahaha merry christmas it sounds like Christmas is just a big joke.. Many children would grow up thinking that christmas is a funny & joke.
What is happening to this world? Where has all the christmas spirit gone?

We have been friends for about 2 years. We didn't buy for each other last year. She doesn't have a job this year so I know she won't get me a gift cause she can't afford it. I don't want to make her feel, so should I skip the gift this year also?
