I loathe it with a purple passion. I really like the feel of the house when it's completely clean, but hate doing the cleaning, so there's always an inner battle before I overcome inertia and get started on the task. This happens...

cabergren I don't actually like the cleaning part, but I also can't stand a dirty house. My husband and I are very clean, but you still have to keep with the dust. We usually do our cleaning on Sundays. We crank up the stereo and it kind of motivates us to get our...

bonbon664 I hate it too, so, I try to cut out steps whenever I can. Anything that's not nailed down can go to the dishwasher. When I vacuum, I have one of those swiffer dusters (which are great), in my pocket, and dust as I go along vacuuming. I think the worst part...

trouble4u2avoid I think green taxes are a good thing. It bites to pay more, but it also has encourage people to make changes. And you're absolutely right about America and China. Right now, people are given a tax break for using hybrid cars. I think it will take a few...

My favourite Christmas carol is "Silent Night" and my favourite Christmas pop-song is Band-Aid's "Do They Know it's Christmas", which still brings a lump to my throat when I hear it. What about you? What are your favourites?

Amber My favorite traditional Christmas carol is "What Child is This?". It gives me chills. As for a contemporary Christmas song, it is between Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" and John Lennon's "So this is Christmas (War is Over)."

trouble4u2avoid Me too, I was in the Christmas choir from the 3rd to the tenth grade. I'm not much of a singer but my Mom felt it was important to participate in church activities. I remember this one boy Scott would sing it and it was so beautiful. He always had the solo...
