Yes……We haven’t even gotten to Halloween yet!!!!!

I want to go downtown Grand Rapids, MI, with a date to look at its holiday decorations. Where would you recommend that we go in the city?
Also, if you recommend a place in Holland, that’d be okay, too.
In other words… Where is Grand Rapids most beautifully decorated?
I also would not like to spend a ton of money.
Hmmm, I mean it more like; which streets in Grand Rapids are the most decorated?

I know, people are always saying "google it." But really, I googled it to see if I could get you some answers, and there are so many places! So go to google, they have some great places, that aren’t too expensive.

My husband & I drive my mother (who lives with us) crazy each holiday because we normally either don’t bother to wrap out gifts or can’t wait & open our gifts early. Since we don’t have kids, we don’t think its a big deal. Is anyone else like this?

Every year i find all my gifts and it drives my parents crazy………..lol

Me, I am having a very bad christmas holiday so far.

It’s not too good, I imagined for way better. To start with; my aunts & uncles always got me & my sister gifts, they said untill you get a job you’ll stop getting gifts. My sister has a job now, she’s been working there for about 7 months and she’s made over $2,000. They still got her gifts. To top it off, we got all the same gifts! It’s unbelievable. We both got an ugly sweater, $20 from one aunt, $25 from the other aunt, a $40 beautiful Victoria Secret perfume set & $100 from our dad. She’s over here complaining that she wants the brown sweater & not the purple one when she shouldn’t have even gotten anything. Then she doesn’t like her purfume set because she got the same one last year so she’s going to re-wrap it & give it to her friend instead of paying money to get her friend a real gift. She’s toooooo greedy with her money & that’s what upsets me more. People say look at what you have & not what other people have, but in this situation i can’t help but to think about it. She’s so ungrateful. So now, moving on to me. I’m not really content with my gifts either because I can’t believe she got everything the same as me! She wasn’t suppose to get anything at all. I really wanted $200 from my dad because he use to give us that amount about 3 years ago then I don’t know what happened all of a sudden. So now that $100 he gave me is going straight to a phone because he doesn’t want to get me one. Meaning now I can’t even go shopping because i’ll be spending all the money on the phone. I worked everything out with my mind set that I would recieve $200 from my dad. As a teenager, when we return to school after the holiday break, people want to see what new cloths & sneakers you got. I have none of that now! I really needed new boots for the snow too, this sucks. I’m highly upset but I guess I got to be grateful for what I have because I figure there’s some people in africa still starving. At least I got gifts & food to eat but I’m so sad to hear you’re having a not so well Holiday either :-\

Have a blessed Christmas with your family and loved ones!

I have two Christmas trees in my home this year. One is real decorated with new lights and ornaments. The other is an artificial tree from 1975 that is still in very good shape. It has some new ornaments and some that are handmade and dated going all the way back to the 60s. I believe in the real christmas holiday not in today’s interpretation and assault on Christmas.

Christmas Tree

Sources say that the Obamas are calling the White House trees and decor, HOLIDAY Trees, rather than the traditional CHRISTMAS Trees ~
Some decorators of past years are dropping out in dismay… what are your thoughts? Comments?
Thanks, Pennylee for clarifying… and this did not come to me as an Email!
Thanks for commenting, as always.

Wrong, there will be an Official Christmas Tree inside the White House, and the National Christmas Tree outside the White House, just as there are every year. The Congressional tree is a Holiday Tree.

Also, we’ve never been a Christian Nation, we have always been a nation with many Christians.

Has anyone put up any Christmas/Holiday decorations yet?

Not me. I always decorate the day after thanksgiving….but hey, if you’re not having thanksgiving at your house, no harm in putting them up early. Enjoy. it only comes around once a year.

The gift is for my girlfriend .

What about a cheap suit case with a handmade ticket inside. Or just a handmade ticket.
