Baby christmas gift

Questions and Answers

Will you accept the best gift of all this Christmas?

Q) People of other faiths do not have a personal relationship with God, but Christians do when they accept the priceless gift of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a good time to acknowledge the baby Jesus as God on earth.

A) Oooh!! Looks like you touched a raw nerve with that one!! ;-) I think what you were trying to say is that people of other faiths don't have a personal relationship with Jesus and that makes all the difference in the world. I've already got that relationship with him and think he is amazing. I really don't care which month of the year he was born on, I just know that he was and this is as good a time to celebrate it as any!! Merry Christmas sweetie xx

A) I know this is going to sound awful, but perhaps they wont let you see your girl because you are unbalanced? It sounds like youre in america so i dont know what sort of social services are available but i think you should contact someone and get some help, not just legal ( though you need that ) but mental. I cant imagine what I would be like if someone stopped me seeing my children, im sure it would drive me nuts, but youre going about this the wrong way. You need to keep this where it belongs. If you dont have family and friends you can rely for support then you need to find someone in some kind of official capacity who can offer that emotional support that you need. You need to pull yourself together, for your sake and that of your children. Strength and peace to you.

Christmas toys for a newborn?

Q) I'm expecting my first baby on December 8th. I'm thinking about Christmas presents for everyone (yeah I've left it late to start shopping I know - it all has to be done online anyway!) and I want to get my baby some little things as well - he might be too little to understand but I don't want him left out of the family present opening! What little toys/gifts would be suitable for a newborn? Some people have said little toys, mobiles etc. Or just clothes and practical things as he'll be too little to get much out of toys just yet? Any ideas?

A) Just some cute little things would be great for him. Off the top of my head, here's some good ideas: -Those bands that go around their wrists or ankles that rattle when they move -A toy that goes on his crib -A colorful mat with the bars that go across with toys hanging down -A couple cute outfits and maybe some slippers or booties

Anti Abortionists - so you mean to tell me you'd force a 13 year old child rape victim?

Q) who'd been made pregnant by her rapist or molester to go through 9 months of pregnancy (I'm pregnant at the moment and its hell with severe sickness and exhaustion) and 48 hours of agonising labour to give birth to her rapists baby and then hand it over to strangers like an unwanted Christmas gift? Are you serious? I'm sorry but in that situation the raped child's feelings and welfare would come FIRST for me! What makes one child more important that the other? The funny thing is a lot of you are men who know nothing about how hard it is to carry or deliver a baby! Beachcrazy -what about the "horrible thing" of having to go through pregnancy and labour with a rapists' baby? I think that would kill the poor kid. It would kill me and I'm 34!! Why should she be made to suffer further? Rape is enough. Its sad about the feotus but then the man should never have raped her. Mommy of 4 - please get a life yourself or do some research or whatever you want and and stop trying to censor other people's freedom of speech. I'm not in the slightest bit bothered by your childish insults.

A) I am pro choice...not to mean that I always agree with abortion, but I definately think that people should have the choice what to do...rather than being forced to do something they don't want to do..or being left with no options at all. However, if you're trying to change people's minds...don't waste your time...they have the right to their own opinion too. And I definately think you've gone about this the wrong way. Putting people down and criticizing them is no way to make a point to them. J

A gift idea, what do you guys think?

Q) Hello :) hope everyone is having a nice evening. Ok here's my idea... at the moment I'm making and selling my own candles and massage oils. I've been hatching a plan to offer my candles personalised as I have a good printer and enjoy designing my labels as much as the candles! So people could say order a load when they've had a baby and I send them out as a birth announcement in place of the typical card. Or people could order a candle welcoming the baby and I send it to the parents. I could also do wedding candles and birthday, even Christmas ones where they are a nice Christmas scent and a nice label wishing the person (named) a Merry Christmas. Do I even make sense? I'm so excited lol My candles cost £3 and come in a nice glass holder ready to burn. Some greeting cards are costing this much now and I just think it'd be nice to send a candle which would have all the same greeting on it and have a fabby smell too! So what do you guys think? Out of space, bah...... This is an example of what I'm thinking of.... http://thegoodfairyinfo.blogspot.com/ Loving your comments :D for the lady who doesn't like flowery smells... most of my smells are food based lol My fave is Almond mmmm Oh and for the gorgeous person who wanted to know where to buy them, I'm hoping to have my website up by next weekend... www.thegoodfairy.co.uk Thanks so much x x

A) sounds brilliant and good your acting on it I woud startt as youmean to go on say they are a fiver but an introductory raate of 3.50 once you start lowits really hard to put em up but good luck I hope you do well and Im sure that you will xxxx

How do I get to visit my only grandson?

Q) My only son had a son by his then partner. They split when the baby was 18months old. We travelled to see them and bring them home with us for weekends. After they split up we still went to visit, they stay some distance from us.Just over 2years ago our son was murdered and his ex partner,like us was devistated. Our grandson is loved by all my family but his mother will not answer phone calls or letters now. We have driven to see them but are made to feel most unwelcome and now she wont answer the door, so rather than upset everyone we dont go anymore. We still send birthday, easter and Christmas gifts by post but get no response. We dont ask for much, just the chance to see him now and again so he knows he has other grandparents, aunts, uncles and 2 cousins. We have not seen our grandson this year and its breaking our hearts.We know his mother has her life and we have told her we wish her well, she is a young woman and hopefully has a good future. Can anyone advise us what to do next

A) i agree with what others are saying, get legal help, but before you do, try writing her a letter. state, that you only wish to give your grandson the benefit of knowing his extended family. state that you wish her no ill will, and fully understand and support her wish to carry on her life. appeal to her better nature that you need to have a relationship with this, your last link to your son, and your flesh and blood. offer her your help and support and friendship. if this doesn't work, all you do is go down the legal path, but if even that doesn't work, then still keep up with the birthday and Christmas card.your grandson will grow eventually and maybe he will chose to come to you. i hope so. good luck

A thought for Christmas. Do you know what would have happened if it had of been three wise women instead of?

Q) three wise men? They woukd have asked for directions, arrived on time, help deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, brought practical gifts AND there would be peace on earth.Pass it onto the wise women in your life(",) People,People, People its a fricken joke my god has no one got a sense of Humour????!!!!!!!.............SIGH.

A) The gifts would have been better, they would not have barged in on a lady who had just given birth, and would have helped out for sure. Some women would have tried to cop off with Joseph. Not sure if ovens were invented in order to make Casseroles though !!!

Bit late, but a Christmas nativity story. Apparently happened, so technically not a joke?

Q) Occured in a pre school nativity play, a young Joseph stood next a little girl holding a Jesus doll. Next on were three youngsters bearing gifts, obviously the 3 wise men. "Gold for the baby Jesus" said the first "Myrrh for the baby Jesus" said the next. The next boy looked uncomfortable, obviously not enjoying the experienced and thrust a package at 'Mary'. "Frank sent this" he mumbled.

A) Good one.!!!

What would you do?

Q) OK here goes...Picture the scene Mum,Dad, son and daughter. Mum had a baby in between son and daughter, but lost it. Then preferred son because son replaced the lost baby. Mum told daughter this at the age of 18. Mum never cuddled daughter or showed affection from the age of 2. When daughter grew up never showed any interest in her, never had anything to do with her wedding, never sent a gift or card at Christmas time or birthdays. Never had anything to do with her grandchildren. Never came to see her in hospital when ill. Daughter contacted her a few years ago but wasn't even mentioned in the address book, just initials, gifts given were broken, second hand or unwanted. Mum has more to do with the daughter in law and niece than own daughter. Daughter keeps getting called nieces name. Brother never invited sisterer to wedding. I could go on but you get the picture. The problem is Mum is now 72 and ill. That is the body not the mind. What would you do Daughter has always contacted the Mum...never been the other way round..Daughter wrote a letter a month ago telling her how she felt but got no reply. Big hugs to all of you kind enough to give me your opinion.

A) Listen, no-one forgets their childhood, your mother made it her business to make sure you had a miserable one. That is one thing which is unforgivable, You have done enough to make it clear you still want to be involved in her life and it's been thrown back in your face. Shame on your brother (nasty, spoiled, lily-livered mummies boy). for joining in. There are plenty of people who have grown up to be fine and loving and successful without a family. You have your own family now. Fill your house with love, laughter, encouragement and plenty of cuddles. Cut off contact with mother and brother, you are flogging a dead horse. When you move again don't leave a forwarding address. Your mother has no excuse for her behaviour.

Baby Boomer On-Line Christmas Gift Suggestions?

Q) Hello! Like many adults out there, I am faced with the yearly Due to the fact that I live a significant distance (6000 miles) from my parents, I have to work around this by purchasing on-line. I have in the past sent them every kind of gift card available for all manners of dinners, books, DVD's, music, you name it. My challenge to you all is to come up with something novel. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Should I be mad if my husband didn't buy our 4 month old baby a gift for christmas?

Q) He made sure he got his other kids something. The kids aren't mine nor do they live with us. He pays ove r$900 in child support money and always telling me he don't have any money. Should the child support hes paying be decreased because of the new baby? do you need a lawyer for that? The kids hate me because i married their dad.

A) This matters to YOU. The infant isn't aware of Christmas, presents, or support issues. Your husband's support order shouldn't be lowered, because he decided to have another child. If he couldn't afford more children, he shouldn't have had more children. The children he already had require support, and their needs don't decrease because Dad chose to have more kids.

Any good Christmas gift ideas for a baby boy just under a year?

Q) we've seen some really cute gifts at the stores. But I want something that he can play with and learn with. Even though he is young, I believe he can still have fun with toys.

A) At about 9 or 10 months my daughter really got into books with cardboard pages (board books) and simple pictures of anything. She'd spend hours staring at the objects on the page or pointing from picture to picture having you say what the things were. Eventually she was telling us what the things were.

One of my closest friends just had her baby couple of days ago. Any christmas gift ideas for new moms?

A) Give her an iMemoryBook to write her baby journal in. You just get her started on her iMemoryBook for Christmas, she can add all her photos and memories this year. And then tell her that you will pay for the first published hardbound baby book in a few months. Baby Memory books are something every mom needs.

What is good to give as a gift for a baby's first Christmas, since he won't be old enough to understand?

A) My parents received a beautiful ornament for my first Christmas that not only stated first Christmas but also had the year engraved and my first and middle name. I put it on my own tree every year. it was also nice because i have many siblings and sometimes my parents forget whose childhood toys, etc. belong to who. also a knitted stocking with the childs name on front and birth date on back would be nice.

When you were pregnant were your Christmas or birth day gifts centerd around your unborn baby?

Q) I'm due in march. Christmas this month and my birthday is in Feb. And I'm having my baby shower in Jan. All anyone talks about getting me is stuff for the baby. I knows it's nice people giving me free stuff to take care of my baby with, and I do appreciate it. But this is my last Christmas before it's all about my son, and my birthday should be about me. I didn't have a birthday at all last year. It was my big 18 and I got out of foster care. I know I'm sounding like a little baby, but I feel it's neccessary for me to atleast have my birthday for me. How do I tell this to people without sounding like a little baby? Christmas and baby shower it's cool, but I want to have a birthday this year!

A) I know exactly how you feel! I'm due in March also, but the due date IS my birthday. I don't want to be rude by telling people not to get things for my baby. Maybe you should just tell people that want to buy things for the baby to make it separate from gifts for your birthday and stuff. After all, the baby is a whole other person.

What is the best gift to give to a 3 month old baby boy for Christmas?

A) Every baby needs lots of books! Board books are best for that age. Try to find ones with lots of repetition or rhyme. "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin Jr., and just about anything by Sandra Boynton are pretty much always winners.
