Besides your two front teeth, and things you already possess.

2 things I have yet to get any of the for pass 2 week:

Money
Time with my girlfriend

Oh, a new car would be nice. And games for my computer. And a way to make the ngiths twice as long as the days. ;D

How about just high paying, flexable, fun job with a salary, where I can work as many hours as I want a week. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

I'm glad to hear that you are Santa this year because we are broke. I want a loaded Dell computer with all of the trimmings. This has to be a sure deal because I've been a good boy this year. I'll leave a double portion of milk and cookies for you.

 ;D

In Christ,
Tom

P.S. - 50" Plasma Monitor   ;D

DUDE!!!  I reallyreallyreallyreally want one of those!  Of course I'll settle for socks and ties.   ;D


I can do that for ya!  At least for part of the year...move to Alaska!  ;D

     To be totaly truthfull if I could have one thing and onley one It would be That All of mankind would come to a Saving Knowlage of Jesus Christ, and His Sacrafice.

I dont' want anything for Christmas for myself really although I would like people to realise that it is about Jesus being born at that time of the year not about presents and artificial stuff (if that makes sense)

Christmas is always depressing for me. Not the celebration of Jesus, of course; and I enjoy the Christmas "season". But the whole business that we wait for on December 24-25...and then its over...and you've got to clean up, and find room for new things you didn't need, and the wonder is gone...*sigh*. What I want for Christmas is simplicity, purity and love. (And world hunger to be eliminated, and homes for the homeless, and children to have familes, of course... ;))

Oklahoma Howdy to Forrest, KiwiChristian, Willowburch,

AMEN! Brothers and Sisters. Jesus is the reason for the season.

I've been joking about getting a new computer for about three years. However, the old one still works with duct tape and baling wire.   ;D

The GIFT of Jesus to the world is the best and most precious GIFT. I, like you, would pray for the lost to receive this GIFT, not just at Christmas but every day.

This reminds me of a very positive and jovial friend. Every time he saw any of his friends, he wished them a Happy New Year. He was also a very happy and positive Christian, and he considered each new day a new opportunity to do God's Work and seek HIS Will.

In Christ,
Tom

P.S. To Allinall, If I get more than one pair of socks, I'll give you a pair.   ;D

Jesus is the reason for the season, and every season. Every day is about Him. Now what I want to know is, what do you want for Christmas? BEP, that sounds like a wonderful idea. And you've been good this year.  :)

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

Being completely serious, all of the things I've prayed for have been granted by Almighty God. I really don't want or need anything. God gave me a healthy new grandson and took care of my daughter before and after having the baby. My son is on his way home from the Gulf and is currently safe in Hawaii on liberty. My son's leave has already been approved, and he will be home starting December 17th.

I've already had a Merry Christmas many days before December 25th. I've also given thanks to Almighty God every day, and I'll do the same on December 25th. I celebrate Jesus every day.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

Yes, the threads devoted to homosexuality and Islam were deleted. Some of the older threads which contained 98% hate and war were also deleted. There were also a few of the old threads that contained garbled posts, maybe the result of system recovery or who knows. Almost nothing was deleted that didn't fit into these categories. One example that doesn't fit was a thread devoted to the use of marijuana as being Biblical.

It is important to note that quite a few Christians came to Christians Unite and left because of the messages that were deleted. Numerous comments were made about this becoming a sex forum instead of a Christian forum.

I would hope and pray that deletion of these threads would encourage more Christian participation and discourage trolls who have come here to destroy Christian fellowship with these types of posts.

Love In Christ,
Tom

I meant this thread biting the dust. I suppose it isn't a terribly important question, but I still think people like to have fun talking about what they'd like for Christmas. :D

Love in Christ,
Whitehorse

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

 ;D  I misunderstood.

In that case, I still want the monster Dell computer, but I'll settle for the pair of socks.   ;D

In Christ,
Tom

I want world peace.

love & light

More hiking pants and wicking base layers!! Oh! Maybe new compass! :D

Happy happy joy, joy, happy happy joy! :D

And of course what stocking would be complete without choklit kandee barz! But I guess I would trade those for a box of Power Bars. Or Iron Man bars. The Iron Man bars are coated with chocolate, and much yummier; since the weather is cool, I don't have to worry about them melting in my pack and making a yukky mess! Mmmmm! Iron Man Bars!

Actually there are couple of things that I would love to have for Christmas..
(1) presents for the kids~~ due to my support payments each year is very questionable what kind of "Christmas" they will get~~ no real bonus at wrk either
(2) an engagement ring to the one that I am engaged too
(3) airline tickets for her and her kids to come to Indiana

A nice Big Swiming Pool:

If I get it I will Baptise everyone who believes in baptism :)

A new BMW:

If I get it I will put a nice Jesus Plate on the front and a fish sign on the back :) <))))><

$100, 000:

If I get it I will send Benny Hinn $10,000 :)

Brother Love :)

ROFLOL ;D ;D

;D Yeah, you've got to justify getting all that cool stuff!

lol, just what I was thinking ;D

I want world peace.

Practicing for Miss America?

"Mommy kissing Santa Clause"

Yeah! That sounds good to me too.

I would settle for us calling it Christmas holidays in schools instead of Winter holidays or some such.  It's like the shools is saying ... "yeah, we'll celebrate Christmas, but let's change the name and tell everyone to now talk about what it really is."  It's all pretty silly.

But for me ...
To see the faces of my son and daughter as they come into the room with the presents will be the best part.  I have been so blessed, that I really, really don't care about 'things'.  I've got what I need and all the rest is gravy.  I want to hear innocent laughter from my kids.  I want to roll around on the floor with them and tickle them.  I want them so happy that my son says "this is the best Christmas ever".  For me ... I want a day of perfect peace and happiness in my family.  I want to capture a moment in time that seems to have no end.  Where I don't have to think about the next day, or the next hour.  But for just a moment, I simply live in a moment in time and become that moment with my family.

Now that sounds like a great Christmas wish. I have a gut feeling you'll be blessed with it, too! :)

You guys are never going to believe this, but I got my Power Bars already! Four boxes, and it's not even Christmas! Enough so I actually have to make room in my li'l gear closet for them!

Happy happy joy, joy, happy happy joy!  ;D

They call it "Sparkle Season", or "Season of Light" as well. I once listened to a local radio program where a child called in to request his favorite song, and he ended his call with "Merry Christmas everybody!" and the radio announcer corrected him on air with, "No, we don't say that this year, you mean Sparkle Season..."

How blessed are those whose families can be with them this Christmas season, as well as anytime! Here's hoping your special family moment is as precious as you have described!

Congratulations!  ;D

Socks rule baby!!!   ;D  

(A hare bounds in, and gallently bows.)

All I want for Christmas is loads and loads of food and....food...and...food!!!!!!

 :D :D :D :D



What I want for Christmas is Redwall Novels

I also want to lose oh, 10 more pounds, so PLEEEEEASE don't get me candy!!!

 :) I'm sorry, but the cold fact is, you can't be a gluttonus hare and still lose ten pounds, Rosie.

(P.S. I will gladly eat any and all candy you receive this year. Consider it my contribution to help humanity.) (http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/joysong/welcome.gif)

Well, In REAL LIFE I want to lose weight.
 ;)


p.s.:  TAKE ONE STEP NEAR MY CANDY AND....and...and...I'll sit on it? I dunno.

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

I'm looking at a catalog and have ideas for the person who has everything. Forget the Christmas list and take a look at these:

"I Love Lucy" Talking Clock

Toilet Golf - Yes, that's right - a mini putting green that goes around the toilet.

Elvis Clock - Elvis sings "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog" on the hour.

Talking toilet paper dispenser - record a personal message up to 7 seconds in length.

A "Today Is Not Your Day" t-shirt

"Harley Engine Sounds" wall clock - sounds on the hour

A "Frogs Playing Chess" lawn ornament

Ceramic Rooster Salt & Pepper - Napkin Holder Set

"Talking Horse" wall clock that neighs hourly

A rooster soap dispenser that crows when you get soap

----------

Well, there you have it, the answers for your difficult Christmas list.   ;D

In Christ,
Tom

Heehee! Those are great!

Or how about the Hello Kitty toaster that emblazons the cat's face on your toast!

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

Who wouldn't love to get one of those?   ;D

I'm disappointed that wasn't in my catalog.  :D  I might not be able to resist getting some of these gems for my brothers. I know they would do the same for me.   :D

In Christ,
Tom

 ;D ;D ;D

The scary thing is: if catalogs advertise these things, someone must be buying it!!!

Oklahoma Howdy to Willowbirch,

 ;D  I was thinking the same thing, but then I started thinking about buying something for each of my brothers. I can see someone having some fun giving a gift like these. For whatever reason, we got three catalogs full of gifts like this. I'll post some of the more memorable ones later. They are fun just to look at, but I'm sure they are making money with the catalogs or they wouldn't be able to afford sending them out. It's just something for a good, clean laugh.

In Christ,
Tom

Oh, they make Hello Kitty everything. I guess they even had SUVs for a couple of years overseas. If I'm remembering it right, they were made in Japan, they stopped in 1999, and they had the cat's face on the grill and around the door locks. I think that is going a bit far.  ;D I guess they have a documentary book or something called, "Hello Kitty Everything." It features their various products over the years.

I know someone who has the toaster. You can get them in Sanrio stores in the mall.

BEP, I love the idea of sending gag gifts!

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

OH MY!, If I got the kitten toaster, I would want the VCR tape how to do toast video and the works!   ;D

I'm almost sure that I'm giving gag gifts to my brothers this year. Money is really tight, and most of the gag gifts don't cost an arm and a leg.

Here we go with some more must haves that I'm positive they don't have yet:

A stuffed moose footrest to go in front of your chair.   ;D

Slipper socks with cushioned foot and snowflakes all over them.

A ceramic raccoon downspout to decorate your roof gutter.

A dressed up stuffed bulldog that dances and sings "It had to be you".   ;D

His and Her Santa chair covers for the patio (with heads of course).

LOL - enough for now.

In Christ,
Tom

 ;D

Ooh! The moose foot rest! That sounds good!  :D

Sportsman's Guide has a lot of cheap gifts, too. Like a Jackalope head for the wall.

(For those of you unfamiliar with the tale, supposedly there's a very elusive creature called a Jackalope that's a bunny with antlers. In one county they even offer hunting licenses for Jackalopes, just to go along with the gag. It was featured in an old issue of Backpacker Magazine.)

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

 ;D  Yep!, I've already been had by the Jackalope gag. I can't remember how long ago, but I sure felt silly. Some city boys just bite hook, line, and sinker. They reeled me in and didn't let me go.   ;D

In Christ,
Tom

Actual gift: How about the Reindeer keychain that poops chocolate pellets?  ;D

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

 ;D  Funny, I was just looking in one of the catalogs at "Pull My Finger Fred" and "Pull My Finger Fred Jr." dolls.

 ;D  Then there is the "Whoopee Cushion Slippers" that make noises on each step.

 :D  Last for today, the Christian t-shirt that says, "Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth."

In Christ,
Tom

 :)

Last for today, the Christian t-shirt that says, "Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth."

Why do I think of JTB :)

Brother Love :)

Oklahoma Howdy to Brother Love,

I think that all we can do for some folks is pray for them.

Love In Christ,
Tom

I need to order some of those T-shirts... 8)

Oklahoma Howdy to Willowbirch,

 :)  I think that we all need one from time to time.

In Christ,
Tom

Heeheehee! Those are great! The Tshirt would make a great gift for our household-we debate theology every chance we get! (It's part of the great family tradition!) Maybe I'll buy us some of those!

New item for the person-who-has-everything list:

Another toaster; this one is Mickey Mouse, and it toasts the mouse's face on the toast, much like the Hello Kitty. The advantage of this one is that, when the toast pops up, it plays the Mickey Mouse march!  ;D

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

 ;D   ;D  I would buy one of those, but I want a set. I want a Mickey Mouse butter dispenser, Mickey Mouse syrup dispenser, and Mickey Mouse ears to wear while I'm eating my Mickey Mouse toast. Only then would I cheerfully sing along with the toaster on the Mickey Mouse march.   ;D

In Christ,
Tom

"Give your mind to the things above" (Colossians 3:2).

Brother Love :)

Yeah! Me too!  ;D

Or how about the neat egg cooker I saw today? The hen clucks at you when your eggs are cooked!  ;D Everyone has to have one of those! Or the microwavable socks! They have heat-absorbing beads in the sole of the sock. You put them in the microwave, and they keep your feet toasty! A must have for your favorite bro!  ;D

Well, I couldn't help but notice something - "above" your post were Mickey Mouse ears and grandfathers singing the "March".  ;D

This is a fun thread!

"Wise men still seek Him"

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Are you seeking him?

Yup-we're seeking Him, and having great fun in the process!

Now, about those air leg massage booties, complete with remote control.  

Or, for the avid nature lover who prefers bats to birds, why not demonstrate your esteem with a bat house! No far-away viewing with this ideal gift-it hangs directly on your house.

Ahhh, yes. And who could resist the temptation of a stuffed rattlesnake for Christmas!  :D

I would love a backstage pass to a Benny Hinn Show ;D

Subject: Fw: The Night Before Christmas


 
 


'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
 HE LIVED ALL ALONE
 IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE
 MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
 
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
 WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
 AND TO SEE JUST WHO
 IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
 
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT;
 A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE:
 NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
 NOT EVEN A TREE.
 
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
 JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND.
 ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
 OF FAR DISTANT LANDS...
 
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
 AWARDS OF ALL KINDS...
 A SOBER THOUGHT
 CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
 
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT.
 IT WAS DARK AND DREARY.
 I FOUND A HOME OF A SOLDIER,
 ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
 
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING--
 SILENT, ALONE--
 CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
 IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
 
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
 THE ROOM IN DISORDER;
 NOT HOW I PICTURED
 A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
 
WAS THIS THE HERO
 OF WHO I'D JUST READ?
 CURLED UP ON A PONCHO;
 THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
 
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
 THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT
 OWED THEIR LIVES TO THIS SOLDIER
 WHO WAS WILLING TO FIGHT.
 
SOON 'ROUND THE WORLD
 THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
 AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
 A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
 
THEY ALL ENJOY FREEDOM
 EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR
 BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS
 LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
 
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
 HOW MANY LAY ALONE
 ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE,
 IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
 
THE VERY THOUGHT
 BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE.
 I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
 AND STARTED TO CRY.
 
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
 AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
 "SANTA, DON'T CRY.
 THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE."
 
"I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.
 I DON'T ASK FOR MORE.
 MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
 MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."
 
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
 AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP.
 I COULDN'T CONTROL IT;
 I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
 
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
 SO SILENT AND STILL;
 AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
 FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
 
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
 ON THAT COLD, DARK NIGHT--
 THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR,
 SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
 
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
 AND WITH A VOICE, SOFT AND PURE,
 WHISPERED, "CARRY ON, SANTA.
 IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL'S SECURE."
 
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH
 AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
 "MERRY CHRISTMAS, MY FRIEND,
 AND TO ALL, A GOOD NIGHT."
 
  This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He makes
 the  following request:
  "Would you send this to as many people as you can? Christmas is coming
 soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being
  able to celebrate this and other holidays. Let's stop and think of our
 true heroes who have sacrificed their lives or parts of their lives so that
 we
  may enjoy our many freedoms."
 

If you get two passes, take me :)

Brother Love :)

Another good one Forrest, thanks Bro

Brother Love :)

I'm the opposite.  I want to GAIN weight.

Welcome to the forum, tqpix!  8)

I'll take that one, too! ;D

Kidding aside, my hope and prayer for Christmas is that we have a peaceful time with my Father-in-law and girlfriend, with whom we have had many disagreements. That my husband and i can be compassionate towards them, loving, and understanding. He has brain and lung cancer, and is not looking too good. but most of all, i pray that even tho he believes in Jesus and God, that he would come to the full knowledge of Christ's love for him, and that he will become saved. Thank you Jesus for your mercy and love. Amen

Oklahoma Howdy to HopeAndFaith,

I will be praying for you and your family. I think it would be nice if you would also post this information in our prayer request area. Many sweet Christians here will pray for your family.

In Christ,
Tom

Amen.
