Dear Mom...I Mean Santa Claus

Hey Mom, I know you read this everyday, so here are a few SMALL and CHEAP items you can buy!!

ANd if you click on the picture, it becomes bigger and clearer.

Favorite Christmas Decoration

One of my favorite Christmas decorations is the Christmas card. I know that doesn't sound like a decoratoin, but in our house it is. In the house we have this huge entry way on the kitch dining room. When each card comes, we tape it to the frame. Last year we had so many, we moved on to the wall. These decorations usually stay up past the tree and lights. These decorations not only give the house a cool look, but as you walk by you can read what people say, look at pictures if they send any, and just get a sense that poeple care for you and want to show their love during the holidays!

Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays

In a recent poll, when asked what people would rather say, the outcome was obvious:
'Holiday' is better
1% (52 votes)
'Christmas' is better
75% (4053 votes)
Both are fine
23% (1242 votes)
I don't use either
1% (34 votes)

Then, in a recent article, by Mike Straka from Fox News, he talked about everyone having such a controversy over this subject, the states that Jesus wouldn’t care what people say.

My head is spinning over this "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy Holidays" controversy, so I've begun to ask myself, what would Jesus do?
And I've come to my own conclusion. I don't think Jesus Christ would be worried about whether or not Wal-Mart or Kohl's or Macy's is spelling the Dec. 25 holiday "Christmas" or "Xmas."
I mean, seriously, even His most faithful disciple denied Him three times after The Last Supper, so you'd think He'd be kind of immune to U.S. retail outlets denying His name as well.
More than likely — and this is my Grrr! — Jesus wouldn't care about Xmas.
I don't think He'd care about the whole "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy Holidays" ridiculousness year in and year out, and He'd probably be aware that X is the first letter in the Greek word for "Christos." X has been used for thousands of years to abbreviate "Christ." Believe it or not, Wal-Mart didn't invent the term "Xmas."
By Mike Straka

I believe Jesus would care. If people are taking the reason for the season out of the season, they are taking the Christ out of Christmas.


I was reading some articles about this subject recently, and decided to go through the comments to see what people had to say about the topic.
One comment that really stood out to me was:


Doesn't matter what you call it, it's a different holiday for every culture anyway. It's just annoying that the christians think their fairytale baby needs to dominate it all, while it's just another myth of ignorant superstition.
The writer of this comment made of few mistakes: 1) He didn’t capitalize Christians 2) Called it a fairytale 3) Called us ignorant.
Just because we believe in a certain faith doesn’t mean we are wrong. Someone else could prove to be right in the end, but I choose my beliefs, and that is not for others to choose for me. I cam see how some people feel weir and think we are shoving it in their face, but it’s everyone’s own choice.

And the controversy over which saying is more politically correct, that is a fight just waiting to happen. Christians should be able to tell their friend Merry Christmas. And many retailers say that the Happy Holidays saying is so they can bundle all the holidays into one card, but I’m not buying it. Some are taking the reason for the season, out of the season, many times so people will buy the products.

I will always continue to say Merry Christmas!!!! SO… Merry Christmas!

Christmas

The Holidays just seem to be zooming by this year. It's already just two weeks away and yet I have not been Christmas shopping or caroling once yet. It seems as though we were just celebrating Halloween.

Each year this season seems to get faster and faster. I can only imagine what it will be like as an adult for me.

I wish time could just slow down, maybe even stop for a few days. Just so everyone can have a chande to get in the Christmas spirit before that day goes by and it ends up being Valentine's Day.

I encourage everyone to just stop and think about what exactly they want to do before this holiday comes and goes.

Merry Christmas! And yes, I mean Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

Last time my group drove in Driver's Ed, this really weird song kept playing. But to start out, Destinee was disappointed because all she wanted to do was sing Christmas songs, and none of them had any words. So we just rode in silence. Then the car breaks out in laughter because a song with words cam one. It was the weirdest song. It was about hippos. And even though nobody knew the words, we all attempted to sing along.

I can say we all had a good time.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprisewhen I open up my eyesto see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyesto see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!


And the song was sung as a female solo, that sounded like a young girl from the 80's with her nose all stopped up.
But oh well, we all had a good time.
