ok so today i was in Manhattan with my non-Muslim family (catholics and Jews)....around maghrib time, we were in a nice chinese restaurant eating...there really wasn't any place i could pray, unless i wanted to pray in front of my ENTIRE family...i COULDVE, theoretically, done that...but i wouldd have caused extreme stress among them, and embarrassed them all by doing so. i would be embarrassed and therefore distracted in my prayer...and i most likely would have been interrupted. So i missed maghrib prayer and made qada maghrib prayer when i got home. Was this a legitimate excuse? I dont really see how i couldve prayed.
hahaha to pray Asr, i went into a fancy department store, picked up a random dress, and prayed in the dressing room xD unfortunately i didnt have any such place for maghrib...
would it have been better for me to just have prayed at the restaurant? I really dont see how i could have done that =/
i have had to do this a few times,cuz of no proper place to pray...ugh

I used to do this years ago to surprise neighbors and teach my kids the joy of giving. I do remember that one day we gave a jar of jam and a tag that said "Hope your holidays are jammed full of joy!" I can't remember hardly any of the other gifts. They were simple, inexpensive and mostly stuff you already had. Like a calender at the end to hope that the year is full of joy or something like that. Kind of urgent as we started last night and not sure what to do tonight. I also know one was hot chocolate to hope keep the warmth of the season. Can't remember it and would love to get it right. Anyone know what I am talking about"
HELP!!

Christmas is arriving.
I live in Florida, but usually in FL at Christmas time, its cold.
Its been so hot.
I am not in the Christmas spirit.
I've listened to Christmas music, bought the tree, put up the decorations..
nothing is working.
i'm not selfish, but today i received word i wasen't getting the iPod nano which i was certain i was getting..which brought me down.
How can i get in the spirit? Is it my fault?

Working in retail, I have seen nothing but insanity these last few weeks as every parent comes begging for Wiis and DS's. I've been sworn at, shouted at and have even seen a woman CRY because she couldn't buy a Nintendo DS. Is anyone else disgusted by people at Christmas, and the fact that they would rather spend money on lumps of plastic then to remember what's important in life? Does anyone give money to the homeless instead of buying presents or are we all completely selfish idiots?

My friend's birthday is coming up along with Christmas and I do not have a clue as to what to get him. I want to get him something really creative or unique. He loves flying, airplanes, and falcons and similar birds along with spending hours upon hours on detailing his car. He is going to be turning 19, any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My dad got laid off at work, we don't have insurance and very little money for Christmas. My parents are putting off their Christmas for me and my older brother. I don't know what to do. We have about 400 dollars for chirstmas which means they're going to spend about $150 on each of us. Some money is going to bills and food. It's not that we can't get presents, it's that they've been buying cigerettes and telling us we don't have any money so we can't do the things we want to. We can't live like normal kids because they're smoking. If I try to stand up to them for me and my bro, they just yell at us. Tell us we're being rude and "it's hard to quit". I know that it is cause I took health last year in school, but jeez, I'm in a lose-lose situation. They're killing themselves and I'm suffering too. I hate inhaling that stuff. It's disgusting.

Is anyone else going to have a sad, awful Christmas this year?

Hi! We're probably among tons of other people who would love to give Christmas presents to relatives and family friends. Right now, with money so tight, we can't do it this year. Is there a thoughtful way of expressing this in a card? We don't want to come across as cheap, or poor yet we also want them to know how much we love and care for them regardless of us not giving presents. Any ideas? Thank you!

Uhmm... I didn't buy my best friend a Christmas present yet and I was wondering whether or not I should ask her what she wants? Would asking her what she wants be against the whole 'Christmas present' law? :S lol thanks in advance!
