Xmas MISgivings

When I was much younger (dont ask!) and a single parent, I had this sudden realization about my 5 yr old son and the trappings of santa. While other kids, his friends, were getting large expensive gifts from santa because their parents were well off, at least more so than myself as a single parent, I decided to inform my little guy that there wasn't a santa, but there were many people who loved and cared about him. To some people this seemed outrageous to deny a child the aura of santa but in my wisdom I thought it better to let him know that other kids getting 'better' more expensive, larger gifts had less to do with 'santa' liking him more or less and more to do with parental income. I didn't want him to feel less appreciated by santa or anyone for that matter because of some xmas hoax, which IMHO is what santa has become. It seemed ludicrous to me to perpetuate the inequities of 'santa' at the expensive of my childs feelings and self esteem.





oddly, today is richer than I .... go figure .

someone at sears and robuck saw economic opportunty in becoming the 'supplier' of what you possess in abundance ...


Real gifting IMHO would be giving another something of yours that you value.





errrrr. like this 6 pack of thongs that i bought

Dubious Gifting

<-- what the? somethings happening in my ....














now that would be a gift I would love to get.... always wanted to visit NS ... oh I'll need the GPS coordinates of your chimmney!

thats usually my plan as well but it seems there's always that 'guilt' feeling you get when you know someone is getting you something, and you want to reciprocate ... and you can do it with hugs etc, but you know if they are into 'gifting' then for them its important.


the other thing is that by giving kids stuff , doesn't that 'start' them on the same road of 'gifting' presents instead of what xmas was supposed to be? cunundrum..

I love it when my chrismasy feelings get transposed onto a scrumptious woman..

Help! ...me decorate this room

isnt there a shortage of creative people here?

Dubious Gifting

I know! I have found the solution tho... this year i am buying 'them' one gift , a 6 pack of thongs .... something they 'both' will appreciate... or is that what i would buy for you?

This is not a rant just an observation I've made as a 'single' person. Since christams in this culture continues to be more about gifting (presents) than giving (heartfelt) ... Ok the observation, I've found myself having to buy for couples in my life of course, two gifts, one for each of them but when they buy for me it is one gift as if all of a sudden the two of them became one, so this year I am going to buy them one gift for the both of them. When I ask then what they would like for xmas, they each have an 'I want' but all of a sudden when it comes to giving it becomes 'they give' which means they are only seperate when it comes to getting things.
Again I'm not ranting just observing that people (couples) with twice the money resources buy half the number of gifts, while singles with half the money need to buy twice as many gifts.

RE: What' s going on in Canada?

Well in this case it (murder) was the 'end result' of a family dispute and could not be stopped by any gov't. All I meant was murder is already legislated, which does not stop it when someone, anyone with the means to do it, wants to. Sad, yes, but unless you want the gov't living in your home, and personally I think they are already in our homes enough, there isn't a way to stop such atrocities.
I dont think its justified either and I'm sure he will pay (justice as it were) as per canadian law, still after the fact and my question was how could the gov't stop it.
Religion on this planet is the single greatest cause of death whether it be things like this or wars and 'cleansings', while I find it dispicable I am at a loss as to how gov't could stop it.

RE: What' s going on in Canada?

While it does tug at your heartstrings, I dont think its the government's job to mediate family disputes. How could they? this is one of those
