Other - Holidays - December 2007

Does it bother you seeing Christmas lights up or having people wish you a "Merry Christmas" in passing? Why or why not? I just ask because it seems like everything is called "Holiday" now. I went to purchase a Christmas tree and the sichn was advertising Holiday Trees! I figure if we don't buy these trees any other time besides Christmas why cant they be called Christmas trees? I don't personall celebrate Kwanzaa but I am not offended when someone says "Merry Kwanzaa" (which does happen to me). Please explain why this does or does not bother you personally.

Christmas has a lot of chocolate and candy involved, just like Easter. So why is there no chocolate Jesus?

I know it's a long time away, but I'm turning 15 in June. Any ideas for a birthday party? I want it to be a lot of fun, but I don't want it to be super costly, I feel guilty asking my parents for expensive things like that. Thanks for your help!

I just moved to NC from CT, and I've made no friends. Unfortunately, my big 20th birthday is this month, and I'm at a loss. How should I celebrate? I could invite some people from work, but I don't want them in my house... where would you go?

Okay, my birthday is coming up this Sunday! Can't wait.
I'm actually making a list of what I want for my birthday & this Christmas.

I'm a girl turning 14 yrs old. And if you have facebook or anything & if you're around my age then mail me, after I know if you're friendly, i'll give you my facebook url. I do not accept anything from guys or girls who are like over 20 years old unless you're a trusting adult.

Okayyy, so far...my list goes like this:
What I want for Christmas & my birthday:
1. A new bike.
2. A nice handbag
3. Pretty perfume
4. Hair goodies
5. A new dazzling outfit.
6. Pretty makeup
7. American Eagle gift card
8. Aeropostale gift card
9. Charlotte Russe gift card
10. iTunes gift card
11. A boyfriend
12. Ice Cream
13. Chocolate
14. Coin sorter
15. Money

But there's no way to get all this since my parents aren't made out of money. Tell me what I should add.

And I do not like Abercrombie & Hollister.

I am a nanny for a family with 4 children. They are so very generous to everyone they know. I am truely blessed to have them in my life. The only problem is, I don't know what to get the mom and dad. They are both around 36 years old. They have enough money to buy anything they might want. I could use some gift ideas for around $30.00 each. The kids were no problem, but every year I get stumped with the parents!! Thanks in advance!

My partner and I run a guesthouse, and during the summer we had a lovely family stay with us for 2 weeks from Kuwait. We exchange emails and they have sent us photos. Is it OK for us to send them a Christmas card?

I was in a forced alcohol rehab last year during Christmas. I am thankful to really no other person besides my mother for her support.

Other than that, I am thankful for my own self control. It has kept my freedom for the moment.

Merry Christmas

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

I am about 5'5'' 140lbs. I want something really cute but not too expensive to wear for New Years Eve. Any suggestions, any online stores I could check out? Pictures would help also. Thanks!
