Other - Holidays - November 2006

We take turns each year as to who gets a big gift. It s looking like I`m spending $300 on him. Do you think this is too much, what do you spend on your partners and what sort of gifts do u get them?

I was wondering why Christmas is a national holiday. I think we all can agree that Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ which is clearly related to a specific religion. If our government follows the separation of church and state policy, then how do they reconcile this? Is it a national holiday because the majority of the country is Christian and therefore would not come to work/school on Dec 25 so it's just easier to close? Just wondering what others think?

I'm just throwing this out there because I'm curious about what other people think. Do you set a limit (dollar amount) for how much you spend on each of your kids? If so, how much and how do you decide? I have a four-year-old and a four-month-old, and I know it's only going to get worse as they get older. I don't feel like I've bought them very much this year, but it seems like the money adds up quickly. Thanks for your input!

we have already bought for our 7 year old son from us and also from "santa" so the only shopping left is for each other. My thought was that we would do stockings to each other to unpack on Christmas morning then maybe the following weekend head to some outlets out of town and shop and have a nice dinner. Your thoughts on this. We are in our mid thirties and there isn't anything that we just "have to have".

Last year, the Christians had to keep quiet during Christmas so not offend other religious groups. Has anyone asked which group were offended? Does it matter what religious foundations Target and Wal-Mart have, as long as they have 56" flat screens for $48 for 5am-11am the day after Thanksgiving, does it REALLY MATTER?

You have been hearing it everywhere for the last few years it is not "PC" to say "Merry Christmas" anymore. Now we are uttering "seasons greetings" or some other suitable equivelant.

Who here thinks that people need to lighten up a little bit? This social shift has come about to ensure that we do not offend "non-christans". I just read of a school in spain who "cancelled Christmas" so "non-christan" students were not offended. I personally am not a Christian and am fine with Christmas. In fact, I love it. Not the presents and food (all beit nice) but the idea of bringing family and friends together.

Who here really is offended by Christmas. Why? It is no form of persicution, or a jab at your faith. Don't you remember as a child how wonderful the season was? There is a woman, in the mid-west who is being fined $1,000 for having wreath shaped like a peace sign on her door. Don't you think that is taking it a little far? What ever happened to freedom of religion, speech, expresion

Nope, it's not what you are thinking... I mean they use the word "holiday" to REPLACE the word "Christmas." Hey, I understand saying things like "the holidays" because of the ENTIRE season, but they say things like holiday decorations, holiday gifts, holiday cards, holiday spirit, holiday lights and even... are you ready for this...? "Holiday trees." LOL. WTH is a 'holiday' tree? Ever seen a 'Holiday Tree' lot on the side of the road?

I guess saying "Christmas" means getting sued for offending a few who don't like the Christmas season or something. The usage of the word Christmas must now be banned for being so offensive to the 14% of this nation who don't celebrate Christmas, I guess. Being PC is going way overboard these days IMO.

What's your take on this? Does the C-word offend you? Are you also using the H-word in public, because you are now afraid to say the C-word?
