I have found out that NZ and AU also celebrate boxing day. Not sure who else does. Pancakes? lol well that is different for Christmas dinner, but great to hear. Baked bean with pancakes isn't one of our eating combinations over here though. We ususally eat baked beans with hamburgers and...

I agree with you, it is a christians duty for anyone to help. So as long as you are helping, you know you've done your deed. If one takes advantage then it's on that individual. It's weird cause if I were in the persons shoes the teacher is speaking of in this letter, I would probably do the...

I do see your point, but on the other hand they aren't citizens here... so I can see how some could be offended, but either way I think this is a silly issue. I actually meant to take that part out. My main intrest was about the first part of the letter written by the teacher. It was more of...

It is a good feeling knowing that independence can be gained peacefully. :)

Then I can assume to say that most of your country's ancestors are from the UK and Ireland? When did your country have it's revolution? Is this day celebrated?

I'm not sure how opening the stocking first would go with my kids. Well actually it would drive them crazy. lol ... so i'm gonna try it, spice it up a little. Watch em squirm. :)

Ah well... If anyone changes their mind you know where to find me. Still hope to hear from you. :) Happy Holidays to you and best wishes into the New Year.

Do you celebrate Christmas? If so what are some of your customs there? What do you call santa clause or is he even involved with celebrating Christmas? Here we have trees in our stores that have names on it, pick a name and buy a gift for a child that wouldn't get one that year. Do you have...

Wow! this is great. I wish you the best of luck. I hope that you can come back here and let us know how things are going for you. What an experience this will bring you! :)

I do agree with this. Unfortunatly Christmas has become more of a burden that happy times. My Husband and I have struggled so much with what to by them, because they have recieve just about all they can have for their age. We find ourselves contemplating wether or not to buy them things we...

AU/NZ is so far from England. Wasn't there other kings and Queens, such as France and Spain? Did England beat them in war and they became an English Colony? I find this history fascinating, but very confusing.

We will usually go to a movie after Christmas dinner. It's the only time we don't need to buy popcorn cause we're stuffed. I used to go to midnight mass Christmas Eve when I was younger with my father and my brothers. It brought a certain comfort. I sort of miss it. What is boxing day?

Just for a little laugh... http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/uc/20081128/ldb081128.gif From the moment I heard Palin was chosen for Vice President, I knew and so did most of America that this was a desparate tactic to keep up with Obama becoming the first African President. Which in turn made...

Ah well… If anyone changes their mind, you know where to find me. On that note, I do wish you all over there safe and Happy Holidays.

The whole Christmas holiday is controversial, from the pagan roots man adopted it from, to the tale of Santa Clause. The bible says nothing of a specific date on Jesus’ birthday nor did it mention a continuing tradition in celebration. None of us were there that day which makes all stories and...

Do you have grants over there? Does this in anyway reflect your government?

Anyone?? :(

Your kidding... Carol of Bells has lyrics? Would it still be considered controversial if one just listened to the instrumental?

I received this in an email and was wondering what you all thought and how does your government deal with these issues? Letter by a Florida teacher................ This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult students at the school where I teach who are not US citizens...
