Christmas Is Almost Here

[elijah23]

You can all be thinking about what you are going to get me for Christmas. My car is getting very old (hint, hint).

 

[AirDancer]

Sorry I can't help you there, my friend .... every year, I buy a new car (or truck) for my son .....

.....the newest Hallmark version, that is!

I will, however, pray that it will be possible for you to get a new car. And I will continue to pray, until you sent word that you've replaced your current old car.

Thanks, but I'm okay. I'm just greedy.

*major laugh!*

It would be quite a pleasant surprise to find a huge bow atop a new car under the palm tree this Christmas, wouldn't it!

I love Christmas, but I always feel guilty after it because I've made it too much about me, when it should be about Jesus.

I try not to think about Christmas until at least the week of Thanksgiving. I'm a one holiday at a time type of gal and having Christmas commercials up before Halloween irritates.

There's a bank just up the street from where I live. Maybe they'll give us all some money.

Christmas is a nice holiday but we should always stay near to the Lord.

I like to buy my Christmas cards by mid-November.

I usually buy Christmas cards after Christmas for the following year, and I try to make gifts or buy local. Mostly because the corporations irritate me with their commercialization of the holiday. It doesn't cover 100% of everything but I try at least

I used to buy my Christmas cards a year ahead, but I found sometimes the glue doesn't work after a year.

Christmas is fun, but now that I'm not really a kid anymore I understand how much work has to go behind it. I didn't start getting people other than immediate family presents until a couple years ago.


Hope you can get a new vehicle, Elijah.

Elijah: My advice: keep on trucking...

I love Christmas as a testimony to the Incarnation: 'The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us' (John 1.14).

'God of God, light of light,
Lo, He abhors not the virgin's womb.
Verily God, begotten, not created,
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!'

I don't really need a new car, but I am very greedy. If you could all chip in a couple of thousand dollars, it would go a long ways towards buying me one.

Yes, often there are Christmas card specials in the New Year, worth keeping until the following Christmas. (Also: Canadians can note: post international Christmas cards in the US, when you are down; it saves a lot of dollars!)

I can't wait. This is the first year in a while where I will be able to provide a real Christmas for my family. Including a tree where some of the strings go out weeks before the actual date.

Question: for those who are into it, how many lights do you generally put on a Christmas tree (lights to foot ratio)?

Well, we don't bother with lights ...

I know this written in English, but I just don't understand what is being said here.

Here's a song for Christmas and shows its origins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK2DTadtygg Doesn't it look Christmasy with all the decorations even Christians put up?

Now, Yahshua was born in reality at the feast of Trumpets. I call Christmas for what it is: a winter solstice festival. No Savior was born on that day, at least not mine.
