Other - Holidays - December 2006

My daughter is 8 and I'm wondering if she will figure it out that the presents from Santa are wrapped in the same paper that the presents from me are wrapped in! She's pretty smart, and we don't have a whole lot this year due to financial issues so I didn't buy a variety. Also, she's with me so I'm not sure how to sneak more paper by her. LOL.
I don't remember EVER even thinking about it when I was little though.
I thought I would tell her that Santa is the one that makes all the paper and sells it to the stores so he would naturally have the same paper as I do..... is that too obvious?

Thoughts?

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

It seems like the spirit of Christmas is dying, I use to see decorations everywhere and now I don't plus we use to have a sign up that said Good Will towards Men but now even that is gone. Familes use to come together from all over and celebrate but now they don't why is this?

This is not a celebration to buy and consume... this is a time for peace, love and GIVE (not material stuff necessarily) It is celebration of a, why not, " A probable miracle of love that might had occurred 2007 years ago...(Even I am not sure of what the catholic church want us to believe) But it was created and called "Christmas". It sounds an hipocresy to called it just: Holidays.. if you do not like it.. why do you celebrate? It is now just an excuse for big shopping centers??

Why do Mummy & Daddy buy presents from the nearby shops, then post them all the way to the North Pole only for an elderly & (lets face it) morbidly obese gentleman to bring them back to me on 25th December? ....along with every other sods presents too, i might add.

I say lets relieve him off his impossible duty & get him out of the North Pole & into a warmer climate & cut our parents postage costs by a massive %.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant, and by the time new years rolls around I will be working on my 36th week.

What's something fun or romantic my fiance and I can do to have fun on new years eve, instead of sitting in the house on the computer or watching tv until midnight.

With the way the holiday falls this year there is much confusion in regards to when we are supposed to attend church. As a Roman Catholic my church has listed on the mass schedule that there are 3 masses in the moring on the 24th. They are listed as "4th Sunday of Advent". Below that there is a list of "CHRISTMAS EVE VIGIL" later in the day with 2 other masses scheduled then of course Chrtistmas day Masses. We go to Church every week, and typically attend the Christmas Eve vigil. However, don't we technically have to attend church twice tomorrow then? I know going on Christmas Eve to a vigil is like going Chiristmas eve, but does going to a Christmas eve vigil tomorrow count the weekly obligations?

I love Christmas and Easter, but my favourite remains Pentecost.
What about you?
This sounds like a religious question but do not let this put you off...
Also, Muslims, Jews and other religions, please answer my question, I am interested! No discrimination here...

Do you have kids that believe in Santa? My son Is so facinated with Santa. I ordered him a letter that was post marked from the North Pole he was so excited to get this letter. It has become something I do every year for him and my friends sons.

My sister's birthday is Dec 27. Some people give her one gift and tell her "Merry Christmas and happy birthday."

What do you think of that? Are they just cheap?

Come on. It's CHRISTMAS time. Oh no! I said it! Well, the other day I was watching QVC and they don't say "Merry Christmas" to you unless you say it to them first. They say, "Happy Holidays!". Well, no offense to my Jewish peeps or the Kwanza celebrators, because those are great holidays as well, but I want to know why can't we just say Merry Christmas? And people should just ask, "So what are you celebrating this year?" And if they answer something, wish them a happy....blah blah blah. And like on Nickelodean the other day, they said "Happy (insert holiday choice here). Well, how are we supposed to say "Happy Merry Christmas?" Yeah, that came from a genious. SO anyways, why must we be SO unbelieveably politally correct? Christmas only last 2 days if you include Christmas eve! GEEZ! That's like saying, "Happy Holidays" Valentine's day because of the Chinese New Year. It's one day, so let's not be politically correct.
