Christmas gift ideas for jerks

You might as well face it, the world is full of jerks. Sometimes you are faced with having a jerk in the family or at work. While you might not feel like spending money on jerks, to leave them out would be too noticeable. Your next instinct is probably to buy them something really cheap or awful. That's not really a good idea either, because other people will notice, and that would be a bad reflection on you. So what do you do? There's an old saying that is perfect for this occasion, "Kill them with kindness." If your jerk is married, pick out something that will benefit both of them. There are a lot of things you can choose from. You could get them something for the home, like a candle, a candy dish, or fruit bowl. There are also a lot of gift sets you can buy with different foods. You can find everything from cheese to hot cocoa. Movies are also a good option. If you don't know what kind of movies they might like, just pick out one that you like, then you know you did your best. For a jerk with young children, a child friendly movie and a box of microwave popcorn might work nicely. If the children are older, you might opt for a familyboard game. Maybe your jerk is single, but has a cute dog or cat. There are a lot of nice gifts for pets. You might buy a dog some nice toys or a sweater. A cat loves to play with toys, especially toys with catnip inside. There are usually some nice gift sets for pets around the holidays. You can even find gifts for other kinds of pets at your local pet store. A potted cactus makes a nice gift. It requires hardly any care at all, unlike most other plants. This a way to express your feelings about the person without anyone being the wiser or making you look bad. Probably one of the best gifts you can give anyone for Christmas this year is to donate to charity in the recipients name. There are a lot of great charities on-line to choose from, and you can choose how much you want to donate. Your gift is also tax deductible. You can donate to a fund for children, in this country, or anywhere else around the world. There are gifts that purchase animals for families in other countries, to help them provide for themselves. You can donate to various different animal funds. There are even donation cards you can buy that allow them to choose what charity the money will go to. These are just a few ideas of ways to buy a Christmas gift for the jerk in your life. Remember, just because he or she is a jerk, doesn't mean you have to be one.

My Favorite Time of the Year

Image
I love all of the holidays, but Christmas is my favorite. It makes me sad that so many people forget that it's a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Some will argue that it isn't even His real birthday. That's true. Nobody knows when Jesus was born. Some believe it was in the spring or summer. That could be true. Many argue that our beloved Christmas traditions are of pagan origin. That's also true. The newly converted Christians didn't want to give up their colorful and festive holiday traditions. The church was wise enough to to see the problem and offer a solution. They started a new holiday close to the old, to honor the birth of Jesus, as told in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. They gave new meanings to old symbols and customs. They named it Christs Mass. The people embraced the new holiday and many of us celebrate it still today. Many people want to reduce it back to a pagan holiday. They have ...

Trick or Treat Song

This is something I made up for E and M this year. I sing it to the tune "The Ants Go Marching". Trick-or-Treat The pumpkins go rolling one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah! The pumpkins go rolling one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah! The pumpkins go rolling one by one, The little one stops, to look for the sun, And they all go rolling, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The witches go flying two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah! The witches go flying two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah! The witches go flying two by two, The little one stops, She lost her shoe. And they all go flying, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The skeletons go rattling three by three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The skeletons go rattling three by three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The skeletons go rattling three by three, The little one stops, He lost his knee, And they all go rattling, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The zombies go shuffling four by four, Hurrah! Hurrah! The zombies go shuffling four by fo...

The Real Lesson From Columbine

I wanted to share the words of Darrell Scott. He is the father of Rachel Scott, one of the students killed at Columbine High School. He is also the father of Craig, a survivor who watched his friends being murdered. COLUMBINE STUDENT'S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER!! Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderne...
