THANK YOU! This is the biggest gripe I have with Christmas. It sickens me to hear that it is "that time of year again to give give give to your local charities!" BS!! People starve during the middle of summer too....try helping out your fellow man all year long, not just when its "that time of year." \n\nBut then again, Im an atheist, What the F do I know about morals and living a righteous life?

You know, that is a wonderful thing to do!  So many people out there are starving, while we sit at home in our warm houses and eat near-limitless amounts of food.  \n\nThis year, I'm going to bake a bunch of pies and breads, and give them all to a homeless shelter in Minneapolis!  \n\nThank you for the inspiration to do something good for others!!!

I hope not - I sent mine in January.... Damn! I might bake Mrs Clause some special 'cookies' and convince her to talk him into going easy on me. Or maybe I'll just give them both a litre of duty free vodka and a weekend in the Carribean. That's gotta get me into the good books...

In the Roman Catholic Church, Lent officially ends at sundown on Holy Thursday (April 13) at the mass of the Lord's supper (usually takes place around sundown).  In the Orthodox Catholic Church (in the East), Easter ends on Good Friday (April 14).

I will be spending less this year than I did last year, do to financial difficulties.  Although I might not spend as much money the thought and love behind each gift will still be there. \n\nWondering what the thought behind this question is... Isn't Christmas about giving and thought behind it not on how much you spent?

Don't bother, the only way to get rid of a temptation, is to give in to it ;-P

Oh, I am so happy that I am not the only one that is weak in this.\n\nBut alas. . . we must stick with what we have chosen.  Our suffering for these 40 days is nothing compaired to that of Our Lord on the cross.  I think of that and somehow, I don't feel so weak.

Haha, good thinking about saving money!\nMe and my friend are going for the same thing, and what we are doing is baking a HUGE batch of different varieties of christmas cookies.\nAfter tying them in cute sacks with ribbon, it looks cute yet obviously time-consuming! The ingredients don't cost much compared to the amount of sacks of cookies you get from it, and since i am doing it with a friend, we are even splitting the costs!\n\nway to hit two birds with one stone :)\n\nelle.moon

Fasting is one of the three methods of interior penance along with prayer and almsgiving. \n\nMany Catholics voluntarily give up meat on every Friday not only during Lent.\n\nWith love in Christ.

There's actually a debate about this because Lent is supposed to be 40 days but, including Sundays, it's 46. If the world decided on a correct answer, I don't know about it. To you, I say do what you think. Give something up, don't give something up, eat it on Sunday, don't eat it on Sunday. Heck, don't eat it on Sunday but eat it every Friday.

To serve our Lord our God, with all of our heart and soul..do good unto others..do not repay evil for evil..give unto the needy..visit those in prison..visit the homeless..if someone asks of you for anything and you have it to give, give without asking in return..Love those that hate you, pray for those that persecute you..Let your light so shine before men..that they may see Christ in you..Amen!!

I am stuck at work - doing the same routine I would do on any other day.  If I didn't have to work, I would be spending time with my family which would include Sunday morning service with my grandmother and dinner with my parents at my brother's house.  *sigh* I better not answer anymore because it is just making me sad and bitter.
