Inhouse for me , one because of the choice, and the main reason is the lack of privacy at home !

Definitely prefer in-house, I like to be able to choose and chat. The whole atmosphere at in house venues is more to the mood of things. The only downside to in-house there is no recourse when services aren't delivered, but same could be said for out-calls. Other than that there are not too many con's to visiting an establishment in-house.

At Langtrees it costs $50 more for for escort and I can get to and from there for $20 and I get to have a chat to the lady first rather than have her arrive at the door and have to get started straight away.

I do like having the comforts of home from time to time, but in house wins as you get to meet and chat with the lady before the excitement begins.

I know that we all have mixed feelings about Christmas depending on past experiences, religious beliefs, family traditions, affordability, etc, etc...

BUT! Although I have always really enjoyed the feeling of Christmas spent with family, the excitement of children and the like, however... as each year passes, there's just something that keeps me attaching a feeling of guilt along with everything else? Is this all really appropriate? Of course it's become a commercialized occasion, we're all aware of that, but isn't there more than that? Has it got to the point of being completely irrational?

I just think of so many things that end up being sacrificed during the 'Festive Season'... We have:
1. Turkeys
2. Pigs (Ham, Pork, Bacon)
3. Chickens
4. Seafood (massive quantities!)
5. Christmas Tree's
And the list goes on and on...

All slaughtered in massive quantities in order for us to celebrate this Christian Holiday...what is it again...oh yeah! Because of the sacrifice that Jesus made for mankind? Good reason, but when do we have a holiday for all the other things that have made the ultimate sacrifice in order for us to celebrate the first sacrifice!?!

I know I sound like a greeny and so much more, and before anyone asks...No, I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan or a budist (altho that's where I lean...without the discipline thing) or anything else that I probably should be...given my views, I really only qualify as a hypocrite! But, when you see the crazy feasting that goes on during this time of year, and take into account Australia's less than healthy obesity statistics and all the worldwide starving... I can't be the only one that see's the craziness in it all?!?

Or am I...?

I agree Lisa to a certain extent. I like that it gives us an excuse to have a good meal with family. I'd really prefer that we didn't need an excuse, but such is life.

Its not just at xmas time. All year round animals are slaughtered.

PS Its not about Jesus on this day, the Christians just moved it to this time to disrail the Pagans as they were a threat.

I have to agree.... but with us in such superficial living... ie wanting more than we need, keeping up with the Jones, providing our children with material crap that we use to try and replace the time we spend at work to give them the extra crap is just ludicrousness.... just makes you wonder why we do what we do.....

This period was a gluttony fest before it ever became a Christian holiday.

During the Roman times, this period was a pagan ritual that was celebrated by consuming large amounts of food and drink. After Constantine made Christianity as the main religion, the Roman Christians sought to replace pagan rituals with Christian rituals, eg Christmas, and turn pagan churches into Christian churches, eg the Pantheon.

To understand this, you need to understand the Roman mind. When Rome went about conquering other territories, their philosophy was one of integration. In other words, let the locals enjoy what they used to do and how they used to live but drum home the fact that they were now under Roman control. The became Roman citizens but if the misbehaved, eg like the Jews did, then Rome would hit back.

This was the same mind set that the Roman Christians adopted in relation to what we now call Christmas. In other words, let the masses enjoy their ritual at this time of the year but but make it a Christian ritual celebrating the birth of Christ.

Roman records show that they never conducted a census at this time of the year because of the weather. A census was generally conducted around March/April to coincide with harvesting etc. Accordingly, the celebration of Christ's birth at this time of the year is false.

That is a very good question, Lisa - considering that "gluttony" is one of the "7 deadly sins" talked about in the bible. I think it is because some of the Christian celebrations have become (over the years) intertwined with some of the Pagan celebrations (Easter is another one) and since the Pagans were less hung up on things more physical, such as food and sex, gradually Xmas has come to be synonymous with eating excessively and sleeping, lol. Just my opinion, though, someone else may have more substantive info.

Thanks everyone for your responses!

I do understand, sexnut that of course animals are slaughtered on a daily basis throughout the year, but it's excessive quantities at this time of year that seems so wasteful and unnecessary?

For Example... I had a lengthy conversation with many of my work colleges last night about the crazy amount of food that each and every one of us had just thrown away over the past few days! And further, so many of us complain about the amount of weight we've put on over this period, or how overeating (or over-indulging...) has made us ill and so on...

I completely agree that it's lovely to get together with family and friends and it's a forced excuse to do so, but does it need to be so lavishly wasteful...? I suppose that's the point I'm trying to make?

I'm certainly going to take a new direction when it comes to Christmas for future years. This was the first year that I took a stand and only bought my children 1 x main gift (that still definitely had a low ceiling put in place) and then just a few odds and ends. So, instead of waking up on Christmas morning to them tearing into a floor full of gifts, where they would barely even look at each item as they strategically unwrapped them and proceeded to toss them over their shoulder! This year was a very different story...shock to the system? Absolutely, but a good one! The gift that was chosen was appreciated. We had a light lunch of tasty treats, and then spent some time visiting family and friends. My kids were humbled by the onslaught of other children's treasure trove of gifts, but they were content with the alternative. We have now a select amount of money that would have normally been spent on wastefulness that we're going to sit down and decide what charity or organization to donate it to! This is the prize and they have taken to it wonderfully! There may be a few arguments deciding whether to donate it to the Gay Pride Youth Centre or the Save A Donkey Assoc., but it's all part of the fun! Lol!

Sorry about the boring snippet into my mundane existence...!

Lol!

Fudd has it correct. It was the winter solstice festival. Celebrating the start of the days getting longer.

Why is it not on Dec 21? When the modern calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar they knew to do a leap year, but not that you don't do a leap year every 100 years, so it was wrong by 4 days by the time they fixed the leap year bit in Emperor Constantine's time.

'Pagan' to a christian merely means a non-christian (technically non-believer in the christian religion). Again a Roman word which meant 'country bumpkin'.

So pagans include jews, muslims, hindus etc.

The date is not all that is fictitious in the christian mythology.

Yes Lisa Dec 25 can be a bit excessive but Farm Girl along with most mum's has a fringe or two and Dec26 to 28 is eating scraps out of the fringe day's

We only had 2 Geese lay down their lives for Xmas But yabbies died by the bucket load
And as for Gluttony Among us common folk This is quite a modern thing isn't it? It was only for the Upper classes once But now the plebs can afford it and also partake
Though the one thing I do find strange The gorging and waste in general is growing while people are saying I dont believe in Christ or God More & more

I agree with Lisa's take on Christmas.

I am not religious and neither are most of my family but Christmas is a good time to get together with family and share a meal, catch up etc. We usually have a cold buffet as no-one wants a hot roast diner in the middle of summer (actually I mean no-one wants the job of cooking it:)).

As we are all adults who have most of what we need the rule is gifts for the kids only and among the family the presents are kept small. The bigger the family gets the more important this last point becomes.

For the past few years we have also donated at least $100 to the Salvos or the Lord Mayor's Christmas appeal to help a few other less fortunate people.

Just to clarify - I didn't actually mean "Pagan" as all non-Christians. Paganism is actually a religion of its own, and that is what I was referring to. :notworthy
