I HATE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T EVEN CELEBRATE IT...YET, B/C OF THOSE AROUND ME I AM ALWAYS PULLED IN...
AND FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT DESPISES THIS TIME OF YEAR MAY I SUGGEST A FEW THINGS TO GET YOU THROUGH.
1. AVOID ALL MALLS AND SHOPPING CENTERS, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU NEED NEW UNDERWEAR...THEN BY ALL MEANS...B/C YOU NEVER WANT TO BE CAUGHT WITH STREAKS!
2. ORDER A COPY OF DAVID SEDARIS'S READING ON NPR'S THIS AMERICAN LIFE...IT IS HILARIOUS AND PERFECT FOR ANY YEAR!
3. CONSIDER MAKING A CHARITABLE DONATION AS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE OR JUST DO IT B/C YOU CARE ABOUT HUMANITY...THERE IS A GREAT ONE LISTED IN (O) MAGAZINE THIS MONTH...YOU SEND $25 DOLLARS AS A LOAN FOR A WOMAN STARTING A BUSINESS IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY AND SHE HAS 1 YEAR TO PAY THE LOAN BACK...THEN AT THAT TIME YOU CAN TAKE YOUR MONEY BACK OR REINVEST IT...
SO WITH THOSE WORDS, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OF YOU:
A HAPPY FESTIVUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HUGS AND KISSES, EMMIE

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I listen to people shopping and their cussing and complaining about who they have left to buy for. People bring you things that sit and collect dust and if you buy them a gift card you are actually considered to some as unthoughtful.
Emmie I think your idea is great and I too would like to share some.
1,000,000,000 people are without safe drinking water.
Every sixteen seconds someone dies of hunger.
57,000,000 died in 2006.
14,000,000 children were orphaned because of hiv/Aids.
8,000,000,000.00 were spent on cosmetics in America in 2005.
11,000,000,000.00 for ice cream in Europe.
And don't get me started on obesity in the USA. I wish everyone would find away to help someone in need. Even if you aren't a Christian, Betty and James Robinson dig wells and feed the poor, there is Feed the Children and so many others. Find a solider who is alone and needs a friend, help a pet society, just do something instead of wasting it on people who don't need anything.
Maybe your in need? I know I was last year. I hadnt worked in months due to MS and my children got nothing, we didn't even have a tree, barly groceries, but God came and he sent people to bless us.
Jesus wasn't born in a mansion, a palace, a Kings home, no there was no room for him and it seems people still don't make room for him. But Christmas is about a gift that was sent to this world and the light shined in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not!
PEACE!!!!
First of all, one of the reasons I despise it sooo much is that I am no longer a "believer", I remeber countless x-mas' spent at church growing up...seeing the same old pageantry...it gets old and hypocritical as well...I definately don't need a designated day to celebrate life, love and humanity as a whole...I wish it were more important in society to care and be open-minded and proactive everyday of every year...
But I guess that's just my festivus wish...
Emmie, I want to thank you for being such a wonderful person! I love the way you say what you feel in a caring way. I love the way you are not afaid to tell someone the truth, even if its not what you know they want to hear. That defines a real friend. A real friend will tell you the truth not sugar coat it with lies. You are so helpful and encourging to others. You are a beautiful person! I hope this Christmas will be the best you ever had!
God bless ya!
