Comments (2)I am going to send this poem to my girlfriend. We were just complaining to each other how we are running around doing every. Our husbands buy the tree and the kids think they are great. We decorate the house, bake cookies, clean etc. and no one says anything. Thank you again this definitely puts me back in the spirit!

Comments (9)Pattico - Found this. All the sites I found used silk petals. Hope it's helpful. "Buy silk rose petals (the kind used at weddings), or you can buy them on the stem and clip them off the stem. Melt about 1/2 cup of clear glycerin soap base. When melted, add whatever scent you have on hand (approximately 20 drops or until you achieve the desired fragrance. I like to use a Rose Garden fragrance. Using a pair of tweezers, dip rose petals in the melted glycerin soap. Dip one at a time, shaking off the excess soap, and place the petal on waxed paper to dry. As they start to dry, gently turn them over to keep them from getting a glob of soap underneath them." This was another site that told how to make them: http://www.candlesupply.com/how2soappetals.html...See MoreSick of materialistic X-mas!
Comments (20)My DD's daycare is having an exchange this Friday, which I'm going to leave work and meet her there for. Us moms had to buy gifts for a child under $10, wrapped it and put it under the tree, for the exchange on Friday. I think it's a great idea, each child was assigned a child's name to buy for. I remember as a child, in school, doing these gift exchanges. It was the bullies and the always-rude-anyway kids who made fun of the kids who got something "less cool" (in their selfish eyes) than what they got. There are kids out there (and Adults) who are so very thankful for just "anything", because it truly is the thought that counts, NOT the quality or price, etc. Then there are the selfish, mean-at-heart kids and adults who sneer at others just because it makes them feel better about themselves. I'm all for a Christmas party and gift exchange, in schools, daycares, at work, etc. It is a real crime when people act that way... making fun of other people or bullying them. But it is true what the above-poster said; it is usually the kids who are always mean and rude anyway who do this at the exchanges. The teacher should step in and use discipline on a case like this, but in the cases I have witnessed myself in school, the teacher is usually nowhere in sight or not within ear-reach. - darkeyedgirl...See Moreeahamel
