Subject: Inthe00s Christmas gift and card exchange

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 11/09/07 at 11:48 am

Well....it's now that time of the year. I figured that I would start a thread about it..and get this on the go. :)  If anyone is interested in participating in the Christmas gift exchange...please let us know in this thread..so that we can add you to the list. Let's say that if you are interested..please inform us by no later than Monday or Tuesday. That way, it will be ample time to obtain your person that you are going to buy for, get their gift, and send it off to them. It doesn't have to be anything big....we can set a limit of $5 or $10 (what do you guys think would be best?).


Also...last year a lot of us participated in the Christmas card exchange. I really looked forward to receiving cards in the mail, from all of you.  If you are interested in sending/receiving Christmas cards...we can exchange addresses in PM's (instead of broadcasting it on a general thread). :)

Last year we did a "virtual" gift exchange. Are you purposing doing a REAL gift exchange?

I think Sinterklass is like early December, and it's a...Dutch thing maybe?

Sinterklaas is celebrated in The Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany on the evening of December 5. The event commemorates the birth of Saint Nicholas, bishop of Myra (Turkey), on December 6.
The whole idea of Christmas gifts was "knicked" from Sinterklaas (b/c in US, nobody knows Sinterklaas - well, apart from Dutch immigrants of course), as is "your" Santa Claus.
Over here, Sinterklaas has so-called "Zwarte Pieten" to help him. They were mistakingly held for people of African descent (is that still a PC term?), thus being politically incorrect, and replaced by elves to help Santa.
In actual fact, the "Zwarte Pieten" are chimney sweepers...No wonder they're black.

That is very interesting.

In Puerto Rico, Three Kings Day (Jan. 6th) is an important holiday-in some ways, more so than Christmas. (That is the date when the three kings arrived in Bethlehem.)  One year we were in PR and we went to a mall after Christmas. They had a bunch of kids getting their pictures taken with the 3 kings (in very bad costumes at that)-just like they would with Santa Clause prior to Christmas. This just struck me as funny and I laugh about it.

I used to love Sinterklaas....tho I have to admit Santa Claus gave better gifts  ;D. Guess under the tree holds more toys than a 6 year old's shoe  ;).

By the way "Zwarte Pieten"  used to terrify me (even more than frogs) I was always scared he was gonna harm me in some way... was he the regulator of bad kids? If you were bad he would know and make sure you got nothing?


Maybe that's where they got the idea for coal in you stocking here... if they replaces "Zwarte Pieten" with elves then maybe they used coal because "Zwarte Pieten" was black as coal...literally.

I was born in Utrecht (in the Netherlands)

My father is American (air force) my mother is dutch born in holland in April 1946. (her father was dutch and her mother from suriname.

We moved to the states in 1970-71 then my father was deployed to vietnam. My mom spoke very little english and I spoke none I learned english by watching sesame street and the electric company and romper room  and cartoons.

I still understand dutch almost fluently, although, because I don't use it much I speak very little (much to my mother's dismay) but what I learned growing up was hybred of  dutch, surinamese I didn't know this until I tried speaking dutch to someone I work with and they were like I have no idea what half of that meant.... Its the way my family speaks because there are words from Suriname they interchange for dutch words but I never knew the difference. 

In high school I took spanish. ...  I'm not fluent in that either so its pretty funny when I accidentally use all three languages (and english too) in a sentence! ;D

Michelle, I got your card....thank you so much!  I'm working on mine (still).

It came the same day as one from Judy, my ex's sister.  I didn't expect one for obvious reasons, so you can imagine how it felt to get it.  She misses us.

Gis,

Thanks for the concern, but that child wouldn't know what "combined Christmas/birthday" is!  ;D  I never thought it was fair and I didn't want her complaining like my mom did.  My mom was born on Jan. 4, was a twin, had 2 older brothers, and was born during the Depression.  Would you say she got screwed?  :D

When she was in daycare, we'd have a party at the daycare in early/mid December and she would have a party with a few friends on the first Saturday of December.

When she was in elementary school, I'd bring in cupcakes to the class in early/mid December and she would have a party with a few friends on the first Saturday of December.

As she got older, I could eliminate the school/daycare parties, but she still has a party the first Saturday of December.  I try to make the milestones special, like for her 16th, I took her and a friend to Great Wolf Lodge (on the condition that it be done in June!).  This year will be 18, so she is finally getting her swim party at the Holiday Inn with one friend spending the night then on Sunday we'll go to the mall (we were going to go to Chicago, but I can't pull that off and she decided she'd rather have a bunch of "little" stuff than one big one).

We always go out to eat with my parents to celebrate her birthday (this year it's a Sunday so it will be the day before).  She always gets to open up a couple gifts (wrapped in birthday paper, not Christmas paper).  When she was about 6, I asked her how many she wanted to open on her birthday and how many she wanted to open on Christmas.  She said that she only wanted to open 2 or 3 on her birthday because her birthday wasn't the most important one.  It's been like that ever since.

No, I happen to remember something you once said.
Besides, with all this talk of chandeliers and coulo flashing, I just figured it would be natural.
(Remember- I've seen pictures of you two!)

Well..I am excited to say that I got my gift from Ash today!! OMG....she couldn't have picked a better gift....I was SOOOO excited! Thank you Ash...so so so much....you have made my day! :)  When I saw the box and noticed that it was from a retro store..I couldn't wait to open it. So, without further ado, take a look at a few pics that I took....of my new retro cat glasses...and my cute retro kitty cat bobblehead. :)

Yay!  I'm so glad you got it!  That was fast!  I have been meaning to email you all week to let you know it was on the way.  Oops... ::)

Anyway, I am thrilled that you like them.  They both screamed "Erin" to me.!  :D

Thank you Ash for the lovely card.  Got it today!

I'm getting my van repaired tomorrow (today actually) morning, and so I have time to kill.  I will be dragging my Christmas cards with me to finially finish them.  I have some of them done (even bought stamps) but can't seem to remember to take them with me when I go out and drop them at the post office.  They are sitting by my purse so hopefully I won't forget.  Hopefully.
