YES!!! I have purchased many gifts and have decorated my work office already. I LOVE Christmas and get excited looking at all of the decorations and such at the stores.
PS. Your tree is wonderful!
i was in the mood today... got the tree cheap (came w/lights), decorations and ribbon for half price and made the bow myself to save money.
i was going to put it aside until after thanksgiving, but couldn't resist completing the project.
i just have to get some fiber fill for "snow" at the base.

i was last affiliated with a minneapolis area congregation a few years back.
we saw prince and the larry graham entourage at a sunday meeting once and at many assemblies and conventions.
i know he was affiliated with a congregation in a city named chanhassen at one time.
I think Prince is a hottie!! Sexy, too short for my taste but love him never the less.
He probably does get treated with favortism because of who he is. If anyone had told me years ago that everyone at the KH was not treated equal, I would have never believed it. Yes, I was that naive.
i am especially concentrating on the last 10 years.
thanks for your help..

in just a few hours i will be heading back to the dallas area for a 10 day visit with the family.
i am returning to the scene of the crime where i apostasized just over 19 years ago.
it will be great seeing many of my friends but i always wonder how many of my ol' jw co-horts are still towing the line.. have a great saturday!!
Good morning- Just wondering how the vist went.
hi, just wanted to introduce myself.
born-in, as was my husband.
we were both baptized as teens, married when we were teens (he was early 20s) and we were both the "perfect" witnesses.
Welcome Freshstart! This is a wonderful place to be.
the merrimack congregation in nh is seeking to buy land and build a new kh, the nh rbc has plans to build a $750,000 (that's right a three quarter million kh).
"the branch" has wanted to build a kh between the cities of concord and manchester nh for quite a few years now.
unfortunately the wt has looked into their resources, local bank account is over $100,000, and they can contribute $2,000 monthly towards a mortgage.
Why do they need a $750,000 Kingdom Hall?
how many born-ins can relate to this scene?.

This video is horrible! It goes above and beyond any reasonable discipline.
what was your experience like as a kid on halloween growing up in a jw family?.
i was raised in a jw family but never got baptized.. my father used to make me and my sister put old awakes and watchtower's in the trick or treaters' bags.
we would say: "i don't celebrate halloween but here's a treat for you!
"We have lots of jw's on our estate in Tamworth so we made a return visit on them to place a number of nails under the tyres of the 2 BMW X5'S they have to lord it over the congregation that they are better than anyone else. I am very bad."
This is so funny!! Shame on you! lol I'll admit, there's a few people I would like to do this to. Glad you and your kids enjoyed trick or treating. Isn't it nice to do nromal things with your family?
i have deceided that this year i would like (if you will indulge me) lots of different traditions from lots of different countries and cultures.... so what have you got??.
i also want to hear what makes your christmas super special... what do you do to make up for all those lost years.. babysprout really believes in santa... all the kids in her class have been telling her he isn't real.
i mean what is this, a class full of dubbies??
The only consistent tradition I have since I started celebrating 3 years ago is I fix a great BIG pan of lasagne. It's delicious and my family loves it!
