Again..

Christmas for me is to spend time with orphans and give them a party which we have been doing for years now.Preparing for this great day starts days before the event. Last year I had 90 of them and each of them got gifts and high tea at a beach resort. It was a day to remember.

Christmas is my most expensive day all the time. Believe me, thirty thousand is the "smallest amount" i spend during christmas . That's why i need to sell more Leche Plan. Wanna order??

Aye, devoid of its Christian meaning, it has become a festival of greed all the best urban

maybe the Christmas is a good moment to share with share your money , share your time with our beloved ones i guess it is worth to waste some money to get enjoy it is once in a year

Hi Saphrina an exuse to waste money At least they have a reason this time Personally, I 100% agree with you. Today almost everything is gone monetary and we have forgotten all abut spending time together... But hey wait... the last year we did spend much time together here at MyLot and I look forward to same this year

I just love Christmas. It's a time where family get together. I guess you don't have to buy such expensive gifts as it's the thought that counts.

Every Christmas since 2005 have been hollow. Why? My mom is gone. When she was alive , I had so much fun. From making my list and planning to shop to the marathron wrapping on 24th! See I would wrap Every gift in the house save my own. But the last Christmas of her life Was perfect! Not only did I get what I wanted but I got to buy everyone everything They wanted. And Yes I believe Christmas is for the treats you want , Not Need. It was perfect! But now , I don't have that much money . It doesn't take all night to wrap gifts. So why I would look forward to Christmas is gone.I know it sounds a little strange for me, A Jew talk about how lovely a Christmas Can be. but my family is Christian so I celebrate both. So I can totally understand not getting excited over it.So what I hope for you is that you have a good day.

I do enjoy Christmas and all that goes with it....why? Because of the celebration....and the joy that fills almost everyone's heart. That is why you give gifts...because He also recieved gifts....and gave us the biggest gift of all. It is the most celebrated birthday of anyone in history! Too bad you don't enjoy the season....the loving....the giving.....the joy!

dear saphy, I don't observe x-mas (as using X) And, I do give presents but not wasting too much money. I do not give expensive gifts sweetheart. Actually, I am starting to make gifts for friends. My very own crafts.... less expense comes from my heart

Sometimes you do make sense, but only sometimes.

I have no family/children -- I am old enough to be an orphan --, but I can't say that Christmas is just another day. My house is near a church, but I visit it 3 times a year only, and I never miss the midnight mass : it is an occasion to remember that if I am no more practicing, I am still a Christian. I am not rich, but I give a few money in December to associations helping homeless people : it is an occasion to remember that some persons are less favored than myself. It is against my principles to crucify, and you don't deserve a cross because you dislike Christmas. I like the illuminations in the town, but not at all the business around Christmas.

hi dear, Christmas is coming and yeah money is much needed so you can buy some stuff for your loved one I hope I will enjoy the Christmas because I don't enjoy it for 2 years now . miss you Dear

I won't disagree with you... but I'm not fully agreeing with you either. Christmas for me isn't just some normal day as it is the only day my whole family could get together. In our case, we are very family oriented so distant relatives and so on are very welcome to celebrate with us during Christmas eve. And of course to commemorate the birth of our Lord and Savior. *Wink.

Yes of course. Most of my time, I enjoyed being with my love ones especially Christmas is coming, we will having a get together with my family together with my relatives.

Over here, in Aussie land, we have midnight mass on Christmas Eve. I used to go and sing my heart out and when it was over I was filled with joy and very uplifted. The church is too far away now and I'm unable to drive at night but I can recommend it. Go sing sweety and take some family too if you can. Blessed be and Happy Christmas.

Ohh saphy Why so negative? People need excuse to enjoy life.Christmas is such a special occasion.I am not christian but i still celebrate it.

I respect your statement(feelings) towards Christmas. And I agree that the true meaning of this holiday couldn't be found in the buying of gifts, or the decorating of the house, or the breaking of the budget just to have a celebration. Sometimes people get lost and overdo these things. I admit that I do buy gifts, and put some house decorations, and have a little celebration with my family on Christmas eve/day. But I also make sure that I don't go overboard, and that I try emphasize the true meaning of the day to my kids.

Yes friend this is necessary to spend time for loved one everyone busy in Christmas festival like some days before the people was busy in Diwali festival.

This Christmas, I guess I'll be spending lesser than I spent during the past because I wasn't able to save as I used to before. But I don't think I wouldn't enjoy the season without much to spend. Christmas is all about giving and sharing while remembering the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. It doesn't have to be really extravagant but the thought of being able to give is what matters. But regarding your feelings, it's alright not to spend on Christmas, as long as you remain to be a good person who give and share anytime of the year, it doesn't matter. You are the classical example of a person who make everyday a Christmas day.

i am ready for it.
