Other - Holidays - December 2006

What was the worst present you bought someone for Christmas? A few years ago, I was travelling to the east coast to visit my mother and I had to stop at the last minute and get a gift. She is very difficult to shop for and I had no idea what to get. So I stopped at Walgreen's and got her the Clapper. I knew it wasn't a great gift, but I thought it was helpful. She is always greatful of anything that is given to her becuase she is a giving person, but I felt really bad. I still do. So this year I bought her a flat-screen television.

I can't understand how being more inclusive could possibly be seen as an attack on Christ. Indeed, it seems more like something He'd do Himself, doesn't it?

I work for a fortune 500 company and even though I celebrate Christmas, I'm fairly sure that not everyone on my floor does. We have a Christmas tree (giving tree - for donating gifts to needy family) and a couple of "Merry Christmas" banners. I don't have a problem with the tree but I think the banners are a little over the top. I work with a lot of smart people but I'm mystified that some of these smart people apparently don't understand why these displays are not appropriate at work. Why don't we start our business meetings out with a prayer?? When these people push their beliefs of others.... people naturally will want to push back. The so called attack is defensive and not offensive as the bible thumpers would have you believe. Your thoughts?

Why do we feel obligated to go all out for Christmas? Why do people stress themselves out and put themselves into debt for it? Help me understand why people do it, cuz it makes me not want to celebrate it anymore.

How to Tell if You're a Grinch

This is the second of the essential personality tests to prepare you misfit readers for your New Year's resolutions:

1. You reuse last year's Christmas cards and send them out under your own name (5 points).

2. You steal light bulbs from you neighbour's outdoor display to replenish your own supply (5 points, 10 if neighbour's whole light sets or lighted Santa goes out).

3. You have dressed a dog or cat as Santa Claus, elf helper, or reindeer (10 points for each; if you dressed an endangered species, 5 extra points).

4. You put out last year's stale candy canes for children (1 point for each piece of sticky candy). If you put out a chocolate or marzipan Santa also, add 10 points.

5. You enclose a shoddy and inferior gift from Target, Wal-Mart, or Kmart in a Bloomingdale's or other prestige box to impress your friends (5 points for each infraction).

6. You make collect long distance phone calls to your family on Christmas day (5 points, 10 if from a cell phone), claiming you are stuck in a phone booth..

7. At the office Christmas party, you horde huge stockpiles of goodies for later consumption at home (5 points; 15 points if you use this stuff for your own party).

8. You steal the wreath from a parked car to use on your own (Southern California only, others ignore: 5 points -- nobody but Angelenos are dumb enough to dress a car).

9. After an invitation to a friend's house, you bring a commercially produced fruitcake and try to pass it off as home made (5 points; 15 points if the fruitcake is from last year).

10. Any stealing from the Toys-for-Tots collection bins is a definite no-no (20 points).

Evaluate your score on the "Grinch Scale" from 20 to 100.

20-30: You are just a cheeseball.

30-50: You are an apprentice in Yuletide larceny and are probably
wanted by the police for overdue parking tickets.

50-100: Grinch, move over. The Meyer Lansky of Christmas crime has
arrived.

I got a birthday email today. And I don't know if I agree with the trivia they put in it -- what do you think, is it true, false, bogus, nit-picking, or what? Do your best to justify your answer. Here's the email:

Here is a little birthday trivia for you...



Your actual Birthday occurs only once every 7 years!
Although you might celebrate your birthday every year, your actual
birthday only occurs once every 7 years! Not counting leaping years, the
date you were born on moves each year to the following day of the week.
For example, if you were born on Saturday March 15th, the following
year, March 15th will fall on a Sunday, the year after on a Monday, and so
on. This means your annual celebration is actually for your birth date
- not your birthday - and in truth your birth day (the actual day you
were born on) occurs only every 7 years!
