Reply today! Let's double what we make! Why fill one stocking when we have two?

i really dont understand the alert. anyway i am doing my routine. can anyone plx explain what is the meaning of that alert.

I dont think the pay rate should have impact on quality. I know theres going to be people thats only here to make the cents per day but honestly i get so much more out of this. For me personally my responses will not be changing with how much i will make today. I may participate alittle longer than normal. For me as a child Christmas was always a very magical time too. Now that we have a grandchild its so much fun to decorate the house. He loves all the lights and sounds of Christmas. I do think all the decorating, lights, sounds and smells of Christmas bring something to adults as well. I know for me when i experience it every year theres something about it that takes me back to that magic time of my youth and boosts my spirits in general.

Argh!! Tried three times to answer your post. I'm not typing it again! Bad myLot!

Well I didn't realise it was double-earnings day today until I found the email notification about your discussion. And when I first read the title I thought that it was maybe just a ploy to draw people into the discussion, but then I saw who started the discussion. As you are one of my voices of reason here on myLot I realised that it must be genuine! So thanks. (And thanks for including that in your discussion header as there might be some other people who wouldn't have logged into myLot today, if it weren't for seeing this discussion title!!) Well, to the actual question.. I'm British but I'm not a Christian. I'm Jewish (although non-religious), and I'm trying to rack my brains about whether there are any festivals where the custom is to decorate one's house. At Purim we decorate ourselves (ie. dress up), at Chanukah we light the menorah, which is pretty, but we don't traditionally decorate besides that. And at Sukkot we're supposed to have a sukkah, a kind of tent (usually attached to the house) which is open to the stars, in our garden. And people decorate that with fruit, vegetables and flowers. So maybe that's the closest we get to decorating our house! It's done for adults and children alike. In our house at this time of year we have a menorah for Chanukah and a little Christmas tree. I kid myself that the Christmas tree is just for our daughter's sake, but honestly I've also always wanted to have one myself!

I just love decorating. Every year I have a different colour scheme and always move things about so that it always looks different. I also put some lights and things in the window and again do something different every year. I just love all the lights and I would rather have lots of lights and smaller decorations then a big tree. That's what Christmas is to be lots of glitter and twinkling lights. The other time of year I love to decorate for and I put even more effort in to is Halloween. Again I always do something different year and make sure that if I do use the same decorations two years running I move them around. I do this for myself as it's what I enjoy. I really hate it when people knock on either carol singing or trick or treating, I see it as another form of begging. Glad I read this as I didn't know posts were worth double today. What time is it till though, I'm in the UK?

why fill 1 when have 2? its more expensive. period

Today is the 21ST TOMORROW IS THE 22ND ... but is is still good news!

I thought this started till the 22nd? Or it ends on that day? I didn´t quite get it clearly??? I guess this is our little X mas gift for all from Mylot!

i'm afraid not whatever we post today worth double since mylot won't credite every post of our work here at least. if only judge from the number of post ofcoures every member can post more than 500 posts within one whole day's working i guess.if i can reach the payment within today would be enough to me already.

I think most of us are just big kids at heart I like to decorate for all sorts of holidays I have decorations for just about every holiday there is I do it mainly for my kids I love seeing them enjoy the holidays and the decorations and stuff I know that I am building happy memories for them and tha makes me happy

Hello, Owlwings. My parents were in business - they had a fish and chip shop. Christmas Eve was one of the busiest days of the year, as most families were so busy with preparations for the following day, they didn't bother to cook. In those days, you didn't need a second mortgage to buy fish and chips! Most other businesses closed late in the day on Christmas Eve as well, as this was in the blessed time before we started preparing for Christmas in the school summer holidays. We always decorated our house on the Sunday before Christmas Day. When this fell on Christmas Eve, my mother was delighted, because she preferred to decorat the house then as well. In those days, no shops were allowed to open on Sundays. We'd get up earlier than usual - Sunday was usually my parent's only chance for a lie-in - have a nice cooked breakfast, and then set about the decorations. Once the house was done to Dad's satisfaction, we'd go to one of the uncles or my aunt for an evening meal and a Christmas Eve party. Dad had 3 brothers and a sister, and we went to each house over Christmas - Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The ladies would prepare the food, while the men disappeared to the pub, and all us would have a great time together. I always decorated my own house on Christmas Eve, and involved the children, even when they were adults and came to stay, we always held over the decoration so they could join in, and had a meal from the huge gammon I'd cooked that day. These days, I have arthritis, and my husband, at 76, isn't as agile as he'd like, so we tend to do the decorations on the Sunday of Christmas week, so we're not in a state of collapse on Christmas Eve. It's still a celebration, though. It's a magical time when you decorate and light up the house.

I think the quality for double earning would not be good. mylot will get a lot of quantity instead of quality contents.

i never bother with quality. pointless one liners are far better. anyway i know some people really enjoy all the trappings of christmas, whether they have children or not although i am not really one of them (my christmas tat discussions are now into double figures). was speaking to a friend earlier who was actually talking about having bought his first christmas tree (a plastic flashy thing i think) but this is someone who really enjoys christmas. and christmas tat too.

Wow that sounds great. Decorating the tree branch must be lots of fun. I associate very very bad times with Christmas. I have much nicer memories of little christmas (on December 6th) when you got a little present and took the goodies off the tree! That was fun, always loads better than Christmas proper. Much more magical and also the knowledge that Christmas was now over! Phew made it through another year! I love trees and I quite like the idea of Christmas/Yule trees, so maybe one day I will have my own tree and have some fun. Maybe on December the 6th even! One day.

For me I decorate for almost anything...Christmas....Easter....Fourth of July.....Halloween.....I love to decorate my house...love to celebrate almost anything! I think that's what makes life special....and life is truly what you make of it.

Well yesterday I had celabratd yule an for christmas we decorate the house make cookies to share with friends an family an then go nuts trying to make it a good christmas for our kids

Hello, I am not a Christan but I do like and celebrate Christmas! I love this time of season and I have always tried to decorate my room or now apartment. I have such a feeling of happiness even if I don't have money or there is something else that makes my life difficult. This time of the year makes my life more easier more lighter, I got more energy to further my life, more energy to bring happiness to my dear persons, to say a nice word or make just a happy smile :) I believe that this time of the year brings miracles to everyone, you just have to be open for that and let all good in your souls...that's the meaning of Christmas :)

Haha, reading the first comment made me laugh. I try to keep my posts semi-good as well as fast. I mean, one liners are unlikely to get you anything, but posting a GOOD quality answer where you spend like ten minutes on it... i just don't see the point. I mean we'll earn what? 0.02 cents max for a really good post... which you'll spend ten minutes on. Every hour that'd be like 0.08... I could probably finish a good answer sorta like this in around 2-3 minutes tops, depending on how long i can be bothered to make it...

I just read the alert now after I have read two posts on this matter. I am happy that we are given a bonus like this by Mylot. In my three years that I have been doing Mylot, this is the first time that I have seen this. We should do better here and post more. Happy mylotting.

I'm afraid it is "Bah. Humbug" at our house. Our children have been gone from our home for so long that the grandchildren are starting to leave the nest. I put up the tree and decorated it all by myself while my husband told me I was wasting my time because the kids wouldn't be here. One lived too far and the other always went to her folks for Christmas. About 3 years ago, I gave up and threw the Christmas tree out in the garbage.
