You must be an follower of Dave Ramsey. That guy is the best!!!
nm.
In my opinion, and as a Christian and Christ follower, you should be
upset that Christmas is termed "offensive" to a lot of people and that so many other religions want to use the birth of our Savior to "take time off work," "exchange gifts," "cook elaborate meals," and the like, YET, they don't want to use the term CHRISTmas when shopping, etc.
If people really wanted to stand by their convictions, I like what my husband has to say: Offer those who don't believe in Christmas the opportunity to go to WORK on those days instead of enjoying the time with their families on that special day since they seems so "offended" by the term Christmas.
Christmas is what it is. As Christians we shouldn't get into heated debate about it, but stand by your convictions that it is wrong to be "inclusive" or say Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings! The bottom line is that this time of year is special and celebrated because of one thing: The Birth of Jesus. Get mad. That's the truth. If other religions want to start their own holiday then make up a reason and go for it. I won't be offended if I go into a mall or store and they begin shouting or saying "Happy To Be An American Day!" Good for them. Just don't ride on the backs of the birth of our Lord and then try to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTmas!
Definately would not... probably help her--sm
find what she is seeking, too. What gets me is the *government* allows abortion, stating that it is the *woman's right to choose what she does with her body*, but now trying to *force* someone to die by taking a treatment *they* think is going to help this poor child. What happened to our rights to do what we want with our own bodies?? This really sucks and I hope they never find her! I am sure her son will be fine in the *proper hands* for treatment. This has me sooo angry.
My MIL DEFINATELY.....
WOULD snoop! She is so nosey, it drives me insane! She also talks about EVERYBODY. They have a big family and she is always talking about people and such, but everyone overlooks her. When my husband and I first got married, years ago, we had just moved back into town and we stayed with her for a short time while looking for a house. My MIL would actually OPEN my mail and my husband's mail and always say she thought it was hers! A lot of my mail had my maiden name on it, because we hadn't been married long, but she STILL acted like it was a total mistake to open and READ my mail. I would be furious!
She also starts fights between my husband and one of his brothers. She likes the attention of it, and they don't have the best relationship anyways, so she STARTS an argument between them by using the "he said/she said" thing and then she whines continuously saying......."ohhhhh I hope before I die my two sons will be brothers again". This has happened like at least FIVE times in the past 5 years! The last time she went to whining at me about it, I told her they are both grown men, let them handle their own differences and issues and we should ALL just stay out of it. She doesn't like that answer though, she likes the drama of it all.
Okay, I think I went wayyyyyyy beyond the question here, LOL, I didn't realize I needed to rant for a minute.
MIL definately not--
mother..always did from day one, and still continues to every chance she gets. she is 81 now and still has to stick her nose into everything I do and do not do. She even tries to tell me when to work and when not to work. Sick of it.

I would not accuse him, but I would definately look into it.
This is not something I could ignore, but I would try to remain calm and not cause a big fight over it.
Definately my choice would be Oprah!
