Other - Holidays - November 2006

This is an outdated festival, celebrating a time of sectarian strife in England. Should we continue to celebrate it? Especially given that it seems to be a license to create mayhem, for those that require an excuse - see this BBC article:

I would be interested to know what others think of this.

I have already seen questions from people worried that they cannot buy loads this christmas. I'm in the same boat and have come up with a few ideas; I often spend money on doing something fun e.g. a day out somewhere with friends rather than spending money on a gift, promising time for someone to help them with seomthing they want done, baking and making e.g decorating a cheap frame for a special photo for someone. I wondered what other creative and original ideas people could share with us for those who work hard and love their friends and family, but don't have enough money to go around!

I moved to Indiana last year when I got married. For every major holiday we go to visit my parents in Wisconsin and/or my in-laws, who live in Tennessee. This year, Christmas is being held at my sister's house. We don't get along for millions of reasons. Literally. Every year she picks a fight with me about whatever shallow, judgmental thing happens to pop into her head, and I end up leaving mad (to avoid losing my temper). This year, my husband and I are tossing around the idea of doing Christmas at home, and going by my parents for New Year's Eve and Day, instead. This is going to upset my mother, who expects to see my kids on Christmas, and who buys them TONS of presents to make up for seeing them only once a month. Am I obligated to make an appearance for mom's sake? How can I break the news to her, that we're not coming? I don't want to spend nine hours driving with 4 kids and a dog in the car, just to listen to my sis's usual B.S. Help!

Is those annoying Boxing Day commercials the day after Christmas that start off by saying..."Get what you REALLY wanted!" Is this not an example of greed and disappreciation?

Your thoughts please!

There are 5 Sundays in April of 07. We are a Baptist church looking to build some events during the month, but I need a good slogan to get my creativity juices flowing.

If you have to rack your brain to come up with a gift for a particular person, do you feel frustrated by this? Don't you think it takes away from the whole spirit of "giving"?
