How can i convince my dad to get a real Christmas tree this year?
Well real Christmas trees are a lot cheaper than fake ones, and by buying it from a local tree lot you would be helping out a local business instead of a big chain such as Lowe's, and that is neccessary in this economy. Make sure to tell that to your dad. Also tell him how much you have always wanted one and how you just want to be able to smell the pine of a real tree every day when you come home from school. Going to pick out a christmas tree is a great family bonding time and you will make memories that last a life time. Hope I helped and merry christmas!
My parents won't put up a christmas tree or have christmas?
I think your mother is very depressed, too. She's being irrational and short-sighted because of silly fight she had with your brother. I know how difficult this is for you - I'm sure you were looking forward to the one day a year that feels joyous and hopeful - but your mother is clearly struggling emotionally like you have been for many years. Sometimes depressed people act selfishly because they are so consumed by their inner turmoil. They may have difficulty sympathizing with others, even their own children. That's what's happening right now. As you probably understand very well, you can't talk or reason someone out of depression. I don't think there's anything you can say to either parent that's going to convince them, so rather than dwell on what won't be, find some way to celebrate Christmas on your own. Use red and green construction paper to make Christmas cut-outs or "garland" to put around the curtain rods just for your room. Wear festive colors. Put Christmas music on your mp3 player. Part of growing older is learning that our parents are deeply flawed people just like we are and sometimes they're capable of being incredibly cruel, even when they love us. Unfortunately, your family is in crisis and they're just not going to give you what you want, but you can decide to a different path and find your Christmas spirit, which is happiness, from within. I wish you all the best and Merry Christmas to you.
How to convince my dad to put up The Xmas Lights up NOW?

My parents don't want to celebrate Christmas but I do?
Well how about you try some honesty? Christmas has never been a religious holiday, before it was given the meaning of Christ's birthday(which it wasn't because the guy was born in Summer), it was a pagan holiday that Christians tried to stop people from celebrating. But when Christian Crusades were going around killing everyone who didn't become Christian, they started taking pagan holidays and claiming them as their own, which is when Christmas got its new meaning. These days it's a commercial holiday, but at some point it was a holiday where people got together, so either of those is what Christmas is, if you want an older meaning then you don't even have to worry about getting people the best presents, if you want a newer meaning then you should spend a lot of money on presents and that's about it. Religions have absolutely nothing to do with this holiday and they never have, any claims they make about it are false.
How do I convince my son that Santa Claus is real?
I went to great lengths to make Christmas special for my son. I decorated the house by mid November, we baked Christmas cookies starting in Oct. I was a single mom so he was used to hearing I didn't have a lot of money for extras so he knew I couldn't have bought the gifts. (he actually argued with me that there had to be a Santa because, "You're always broke mom, who else would buy me gifts?"My dad would call and disguise his voice a couple of weeks before Christmas pretending to be Santa asking what he wanted etc. Of course we did the Mall Santa thing.On Christmas Eve we would put out newspaper from the fireplace to the tree or from the door to the tree when we didn't have a fireplace. We would put out a plate of cookies and carrots for the reindeer. He would go to bed and I would pull out an old pair of gumboots I kept hidden in the basement just for Xmas Eve. I would boil water because the ground would be frozen and I would make some mud and put the boots on and make muddy foot prints on the newspaper. My brother usually came over to help me and he would write my son a letter thanking him for the cookies (I didn't want my son to recognize my hand writing) and he would chew up and spit out carrot all over the house and outside. (reindeer are messy eaters) we would make sleigh marks in the snow if there was any.I always wrapped all the gifts from Santa in the same cheap paper because Santa doesn't have time to write out gift tags (so he would recognize my writing again). In the morning if he didn't wake up before me I had some loud bells I rang and my brother would go "HoHOHo" until he woke up.He didn't catch on until the kids at school started to tease him and even then, like I said he refused to believe me for at least one more Xmas.I don't know who enjoyed it more, him or me. But it was magical.
How do Muslims celebrate Christmas?
A few Muslims celebrate Christmas with trees and gifts, but not to worship the Prophet Jesus. This happens especially when people have kids who are surrounded by Christians, and therefore demand extra toys.Remember that Christmas is not the day of the birth of the Prophet Jesus. It is a holiday made to coincide with earlier, pagan holidays.My former sister-in-law, a Muslim who is a Citizen of the UAE, put up a Christmas tree in her home, and on the door of their condominium home in Dubai. Her husband was angered, but the tree remained because she thought it was cute, and she spent a few hundred dollars on it.In practice, a goodly percentage of Muslims will participate in the festivities, if asked, or if there is nothing else fun to do, and the festivities provide entertainment.However, many Sunni Muslims do not believe in celebrating any holidays except Ramadhan and the two Eids. Shia (the 10% minority), however, do have holidays.This was my answer to another question.:But in the Gulf Arab countries (n, as in the U.S., there are usually huge Christmas trees in the malls, and, OF COURSE holiday sales. No retailer would miss that opportunity!Christmas celebration starts after Halloween or Thanksgiving, except when it conflicts with Muslim holidays. Then, it starts later.This was the most expensive Christmas tree in the world in 2010And there is usually a Santa in most malls. Meet Santa at Ski DubaiMany people love to take pictures with Santa:Christians celebrate at church:And, of course, there are school celebrations, Christmas pageants, and Christmas plays.Most Christians will take time off for Christmas Day, and employers won't stop them. Then, the Muslims and Hindus often decide not to show up for work, either, since they know that Christians won't be coming in. Legally, the employer can deduct this from the employee's pay, but larger employers generally wouldn't do it, and most others wouldn't, either.
My dog just chewed up my christmas tree light cord...?!?!?!?
.....Dear hillaryc59bc, I'm going to have to go along with everyone else. You just need to buy more lights. Yes, the cords can be fixed, but in the end it would be safer just to buy new lights. What you would do is to strip the two wires inside the cord on each end of the cord, then wrap the similar color of wire cords together and wrap each one separately with electrical tape so that the bare wires do not touch one another. Then you would wrap both wrapped wires with more electrical tape (and don't forget to unplug the cord during this whole procedure). So, just to be safe, you might want to just buy more lights. :-)
