Re: Who's not Having Christmas Dinner this year? Financially Strapped.
In light of my abject poverty, my friend will be providing my Christmas dinner for me this year.

He's been a good friend for about six years, and I really appreciate the sacrifice he's undertaking for me. I'll miss him, though...

Thanks, boris..

I don't do Christmas, its a material trap having nothing to do with God. Dinner or otherwise.

Don't worry, OP. Like you said, you give throughout the year in various ways ... now you're just trying to do something for a fellow GLPer ... nothing wrong with that. Not all charitable work needs to be done behind the scenes and hush hush.

Geesh people. Ever hear: If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all ... ?

People need to stop making assumptions about other people online whom they have never seen or met.
 Quoting: OnTheFence


Thanks for the back up. Really, what do I have to gain here? I'm pushing an agenda for sure. The agenda of giving from your heart. I'm not asking God for any special points. Some people just don't get that being a humanist is an achievement of a good natured heart.

Plus, nobody knows me here. There is no stage to walk on to accept my award. LOL

What,no chestnuts, no stuffing, no pie? Not even parsley sprig to break up the monochromatic monotony of the outside bleak meh-niss? turkey 2lbs beige, potatos 24oz beige, gravy 24oz beige, green beans canned 24oz shade of old mold.
Apportioned by a loud stomping industrial processer.
Not even a candle to light the darkness nor red hollyberry.

Whatever you do, do not kill yourself. :{

We have a 20 yr old fruitcake we keep passing around the family at holiday time every year.

The joke never gets old and it's always fun to see who ends up with it on Christmas Day, lol.

This is my Challenge to those of you who claim your Christianity. Put your money where your mouth is. Actions speak much louder than words. I've got humanity, a heart and I'm not religious. Agnostic, but love the holiday...

This is an earnest offer and this comes from the bottom of my little black heart.

ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest
thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. (Matt. 6:1-2)

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags

I am making dinner, it wont be a big dinner but that's fine with me, it's just me and my son and I am just happy to be with him this year.

I just wanted to say how very nice it is of you to do this for someone. I am sure a nice family will have a very merry Christmas due to your generosity. If I could help out I would, maybe next year. Maybe it could be a GLP tradition.

For those of you that celebrate Christmas and can't afford to buy Christmas dinner....please write a compelling post and I will have a gourmet dinner sent to you. No groveling necessary.

This is my Challenge to those of you who claim your Christianity. Put your money where your mouth is. Actions speak much louder than words. I've got humanity, a heart and I'm not religious. Agnostic, but love the holiday.

Here are the meal details:

Meal serves 4
Dinner with boneless turkey.
Details:

Home-cooked goodness has never been so easy. Thrill your family with a real Turkey Dinner without all the fuss. Heat and slice the already cooked Turkey Breast, then pair it with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Turkey Gravy and gourmet Green Bean Casserole. Our Home-Style Turkey Dinner has superior quality, plus it's quick and easy!

Home-Style Turkey Dinner includes:
1 (2 lb.) Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
24 oz. Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

U.S. Residents only. Sorry. I need to work quick, cause the meal needs to arrive on time. I will email the person I choose in order to get an address. You must be a registered member. Tomorrow morning I will notify the person I choose via GLP mail.

I will not call out the person I choose. If the person who gets my GLP mail wants to come forward they can, but not necessary.

This is an earnest offer and this comes from the bottom of my little black heart.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you. A tradition would be great. If only we could get more people on board. I realize how many people are too proud to speak up for themselves. Just maybe, I'll enhance the holiday for a person or two.
