I dont think I will be doing anything new for Christmas. Just glad Im still here. The Internet makes it easier to purchase things for a hermit like me but that takes away half the "fun" of it.

The Holidays have traditional been a time for family and friends to get together. In the Internet age you have to make sure to get off the computer and interact with real people.

The Internet makes it easier to buy things but its nothing like being around real people.

I just bought my little girl her first guitar, and I plan to buy them a wii. The Holidays are a special time to refocus your spirit and your will to continue to push ahead.

Happy Holdays

I expect I'll be doing the same thing I do every year - Christmas Eve, I'll have dinner with my partner when the kids are in bed, then we'll have wine, cheese and biscuits, and a good movie. On Christmas Day, the kids will open their presents from us in the morning, while they eat their pancakes (they only have them as an occasional treat), and then we will head over to my parents' house and spend the day with them. On Boxing Day, my partner's parents will visit and we'll all try to be nice to each other all day lol

We appreciate a Christmas where we have love ones to care for and cherish. Our world is relatively benign compared to what others have to live with. We sometimes forget here in the land of the free. My parents are still alive although we do not celebrate like normal families, I was raised a jehovah's witness and do not celebrate Christmas. Jehovahs Witnesses believe Christmas was a pagan, sinful holdiday.

But our family manages to spend some time working out our issues together. We have a similar gathering minus the wine, cheese, bisquits and good movie. Substitute coke, chicken, wings, fried rice, and holiday football on the tv.

Nope not doing any thing new for Christmas because I don't do Christmas. When I was younger my family and I did Christmas, but that was ages ago. So there will be no presents, no tree, and no lights. It's doesn't bother me a bit. Just think of all of the money I'm saving. The Christmas season is actually a very busy time for me because I have online stores and I read tarot cards. So instead of spending money, I'm making it. I guess for me Christmas is just another day.


myLot reputation of 50/100. Sourceseeker (314)   ranked 4,142 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Getting used to not celebrating like everyone else takes a strong perspective. As a kid growning up Im not sure I understood. My kids today would have trouble understanding but if it was presented to them like it was presented to us, maybe they would be okay.With all that goes on in their lives I try my best to give them Christmas as many days as I can.

Where do you shop for Christmas gifts and what cards do you read? Why do people buy more online during Christmas time?


myLot reputation of 75/100. CatGods (1115)   ranked 743 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

You said: Where do you shop for Christmas gifts and what cards do you read? Why do people buy more online during Christmas time?

Um I don't do Christmas, remember. so that means that I don't buy gifts. And you wanted to know what cards that I read. I already said tarot cards or are you wondering what style of deck I'm using. If that is the case I'm using the Rider Waite deck.




myLot reputation of 50/100. Sourceseeker (314)   ranked 4,142 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

I mean do you do horoscopes and numerology . What is the science of tarot cards?Does it have more signifigance during the holidays? I have a newsmagazine I do. I wanted to include an article about astrology. I want to talk to and include an expert.


myLot reputation of 75/100. CatGods (1115)   ranked 743 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Please let me be your expert. maybe you can plug me? I did a friend request. I will answer your questions shortly, I need some sleep.


myLot reputation of 75/100. CatGods (1115)   ranked 743 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

No I don't do horoscopes or numerology, although I do know a little bit about numerology. I'm not understanding when you say "what is the science of tarot cards". You mean how do they work? As for the busy time of the year, it's not because it's getting close to Christmas, it's because it's getting close to the end of the year. People want to know if the rest how the rest of the year is going to pan out. The beginning of the new year is a busy time too because it's a new year and people want to know what is in store for them. Tarot is about getting answers to help you see clearly on the issues as to what you need to do in order for you accomplish what ever it is that you want to achieve.

thumbupI always try to ignore it entirely. Sometimes I come close to succeedingw00t!

I shall not though be seeing any other member of my family, apart from my wife, as we live in Germany, all my family members are in England, all my wife's family are in Thailand, and we cannot afford to travel even if we wanted to (and it is usually the worst time of year to travel anywaycry!).


myLot reputation of 50/100. Sourceseeker (314)   ranked 4,142 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

We can try to ignore it but thats impossible everytime we see the lights, hear the carols, we think about the make believe world we wish we lived in.

If your like most people it gives us a chance to reflect and take stock of our lives. Were off from work, the kids are off from school, and everyone is reflecting.

No matter our faith, the symbilism of the holidays tugs at our heart of love, responsibility and altruism. It is a time, if we can still feel, where we wish for a better world.

Happy holidays to you from across the seas in another part of the world. Everyday we live is a day of thanksgiving.

I'm not doing anything different than I normally do, apart from I'm going to be doing my shopping mostly online. This is because I don't have much money right now, and the temptation is too high for me to buy things, so I'm only going to buy what I NEED for people, and nothing more, from the internet.
Plus, you can often get a lot of bargains from the internet, with some sites offering free postage if you spend over a certain amount, which is perfect if there are a few things you need from there.
If I go into town shopping, it can cost me around £10 to get there and back using public transport, so I do actually save a lot of money shopping online instead!


myLot reputation of 50/100. Sourceseeker (314)   ranked 4,142 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

My belief is, the Internet makes Christmas more distant aand less human. Its too easy to stow away at our computer and hide away from Human interaction. Our there places that can give a rewarding Internet Christmas experience? I laugh at the people that sream and yell in chatroomslike their conversation has anything real and tanglable to hold onto. Occasionly we can find an internet connection worth holding on too. But mostly not, Where are the good shopping places?

MyLot is one of the sights where you dont get bored and can get some measure of truth and freedom. During Cgristmas time its good to have aplace to go and interact vitually with people even in a limited way.

I am not really sure whether I would do anything new this Christmas.
Before I really bought gifts for my family in the mall by myself. I have to line up on the cashier to pay those items. Our mall here has a very long line in the casher during Christmas Holidays.
But this Christmas I have a color coding with my decors at home. I think that is something new this year.


myLot reputation of 50/100. Sourceseeker (314)   ranked 4,142 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

One of the great beauties of Christmas is the decoration and the lights. Here in Houston there are several streets where everyone lights up and decorates their home. Its a great tourist attraction. People from aroung the world come to it.

We've seen a giant santa and snowman littered with sparkling, illuminated lights. There are luminescent Candy canes and reindeer sparkling with red, blue and silver lights. Mostly there are long limbs of lights crossing from tree to tree and connected across to the trees on the otherside. Its a grand spectacle of b euaty and design.

Some The streets and there are many are of Scott and Yellowstone in Houston, Texas.

well, early in february my dad passed away so i am sure some things will be different this year but all in all, i am sure most things will stay the same as other years. we might just do it a bit differently this year.


myLot reputation of 50/100. Sourceseeker (314)   ranked 4,142 out of 19,336 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Never appreciate Christmas as much as I am this year. More appreciative of still being here in decent health and able to reflect.

The holidays are a special time for parents to bring in the family and reflect on how they have lived their jouney. Around you, you have children, nieces, nephews and friends. The memories, and the reminesceing goes on and oftrn of the road forward usually comes into focus. If you spend your time balanced it usually restarts your battery ifyou overextend in frivolity you may need the rest of the year to recharge.

My father is 86, Sorry for your lost
