I gave my parents (who both worked in an office) those desk decorations that you flip over and water wheels start moving, or sand lazily drifts down.

This Christmas, I'm giving dad a Baileys Irish Cream gift set that has a neat mug and cookies.

Try asking them what they want for Christmas, this works for my mom, but Dad always says 'your company'. In that case, look at their favorite things, like do they drink coffee or tea in the morning, then you can give them a coffee or tea gift set. Is your mom nuts about cats or turtles, then you give her a neat figurine.

If at complete loss, a gift certificate to a nice restaurant for a dinner for two.

This is a very odd question to me...In my family, we have always made lists for each other, so that we know what we all want.

Why don't you ask them what they want? Simply say, "Mom, what do you want for Christmas this year?"...She's likely to respond with two or three things that she'd enjoy, that are within your price range.

If they do like Robin's dad, and say they want your company, then arrange to take them to dinner (or cook it for them)...You could also get tickets to a ball game, the ballet, a tractor-pull, or even a gun show, if that's the kind of thing your family would enjoy. Buy them a gift certificate to the local coffee shop, that would cover two drinks...one for them and one for you.

The Age Of Reason.

CHRISTMAS IS LIKE SANTA CLAUS

You know the Fatman is a fake and a lie, but you go along with it anyway, as you deceive the kids and make them future liars to their own kids.

The Dictionary of the Bible says that: By the 5th. Century, the Church (of Rome) had concerned itself enough to have set December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth. This had been the date of the Festival of the Sun God Zeus and to the Christians a greater light was come, Jesus Christ, the true light of the World.

Fact is - the Sun God is Zeus, and Jesus is really Jezeus, and the Romans worshipped Zeus, and you can see Barnabas being called Zeus by the Priests of Zeus in the Acts of the Apostles 14:12-13, in the Bible. Mithra was another son of Zeus, but Je-Zeus was Zeus come down as his own son, which made him strictly a Roman God.

Sunday is also the day that was set aside for worship of the Sun God (Zeus) by the Romans.

The Winter Solstice gives us the shortest day in the year, December 22, as the birth of the new Sun, so Rome shifted it to the 25 December in order to celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision eight days later, on 1 January, in accepting Jezeus Christos as the Living God of the Sun risen from the dead.

Zeus and the Fathers of Christianity did not know there was a Southern Hemisphere that did not share the Sun God Zeus or his four seasons, or his twelve disciples or twelve months of the year with the Northern Hemisphere, and it is for this reason that Australia celebrates Christmas twice each year, with the White Christmas falling in June but is called Christmas in July since they know it is a lie.

So Christmas and Christianity were as ignorant of the nature of the Planet as was Santa Claus of the South Pole, and just as the Pope was afraid that Christopher Columbus might fall off the flat Planet in his attempt to reach India traveling westwards, so were Santa Claus and Zeus afraid to go below the Planet and into the Fires of Hell.

When Pope John Paul ii declared the Shroud of Turin a medieval fake after having it scientifically carbon-dated in 1988, he failed to point out that the Bible describes the use of two shrouds, with one for the head and another for the “body” of the 100 lbs of aloes and myrrh, the other perfect hoax.

TRY SOME HONESTY THIS YEAR.
EXPOSE THE FRAUD OF SANTA THE UNHOLY.

BRING THE TRUTH OF THE MESSIAH FROM THE QURAN TO LIGHT SO THAT MEN WHO ARE BORN BLIND MIGHT SEE THAT THE ONE TRUE GOD CAN HAVE NO SON OR NO PARTNER
.
HE IS ONE, HE ALWAYS WAS, HE IS, AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE!

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL OF HUMANITY!

Was it Jesus who said, “Think not that I am come to send Peace on Earth. I came not to send Peace but a Sword.” Matthew 10:34

So! Christmas is like Santa Claus, and so is the naming of the baby Jesus since the Gospels exclude the mother from this false naming of the child and the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, states that the mother shall name the child “Immanuel”.

Depends on your budget, but the best thing to do is have Santa give them a blank list and let them say what they would like for Christmas and go from there.

What about making something for them?

If you do a craft like counted cross stitch, photography, or jewelry making, I'm sure they'd love something that's an original from you.

Another option would be to make them a vase--I know that here in my neck of the woods there's a place where you can go to make things like that--they'll fire it for you and you can paint and glaze it there.

A gift certificate to a romantic diner at a restaurant with a beautiful setting so that they can rekindle their love. After all you were made because they love.

If you're a teen, why not plan out a day out just with your parents? I know it would be embarrassing. During your teen years, we all gather away from our parents, so I'm sure they'll love it.

A scarpbook of family photos would be good for parents. They love cheesey stuff like that.
