It's quite fun actually and we are giving to charity at the same time. We support two children in Africa and we send money to them and their families each Christmas as well. It's surprising what they can get there. Last year I think they both got goats. I cannot imagine our own children being happy with a goat. I did not get alot of presents as a child and I was greatful for everything I did get. I think kids today are quite spoiled.<br>Jesus is the reason for the season. It's too bad so many people choose to ingore that fact. It would be quite a different world if they didn't and they did what He wanted them to do.<br>marie<br>http://journals.aol.co.uk/mariealicejoan/MariesMuses/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415040806356412736.post-61766533003145493662007-12-05T06:13:00.000-08:002007-12-05T06:13:00.000-08:00I will admit my kids are some of the spoiled ones....I will admit my kids are some of the spoiled ones.

Be kind. And leave God out of it. It's a secular holiday anyway, has nothing to do with Christ's birth, which we should celebrate daily but who'd do that, right? Did Christ have a birthday? Sure, it was in October according to historical records, everyone knows that. Why celebrate in Christmas? End of year thing? What does a mummified blinking lighted tree have to do with a divine baby's birth? Jews celebrate Christmas, if we were true Christians why don't we celebrate Hannukah? Because it's nothing to do with religion. Someone tell me what Christmas has to do with religion. Oh I'm gonna get it now.
