We're having Chloe's bday party next Saturday. I really don't want to give out candy bags. It just occurred to me that last year we forgot to give out the candy bags, and no one notice. I guess it isn't a big deal after all.
I was going to write about something to replace the candy that isn't going to cost a lot of money. But hey, the lack of candy went unnoticed last year!
That was easy :)

Another Quiet Christmas
It's so nice to be in the minority. Christmas doesn't stress me out! I don't see the point of celebrating if you're not really celebrating, merely enduring. Our Christmas was nice. Mom came over on Xmas eve, we went to Church, ate tamales when we got home, watched Nestor The Long~Eared Christmas Donkey, and The Little Drummer Boy, and opened presents at midnight!
The next day, we slept in, had breakfast, Mom went home, and we played with our presents. Pete & Rose came over at 9.30pm, we had coffee, tea & sweet potato pie. Mmmmm!
It's so nice to have a spiritual family. I love & miss my blood family, but there's no drama here with our friends. And we don't have to drive all over L.A. county to see everyone!
On a different note, we're trying to estimate our tax refund. We would like to buy a new car, I've been looking at Land Rovers :) With all the interest we've paid this year, we think our refund will be really nice.
I've been finding so many interesting stories about cancer. I will try to post them soon.

Gardasil HPV Vaccination Info
I'm *always* suspicious of vaccines. But I was especially suspicious of this one. Why the push to get such young girls vaccinated against HPV? If they get it from boys, why not vaccinate the boys instead? I've heard recently, that "they" are going after boys soon.
I've been hearing a lot about mandatory vaccinations, and all I have to say is that
the day vaccines become mandatory in this country is the day I leave!
NewsTarget) Archived documents discovered at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's website reveal the agency knew in 2003 that HPV infections did not cause cervical cancer. Despite that knowledge, the FDA has continued to support the use of the Gardasil vaccine in compulsory vaccinations programs like the one announced in Texas earlier this year.
The FDA's own press release from 2003 admits that, "Most women who become infected
with HPV are able to eradicate the virus [without intervention] and suffer no apparent long-term consequences to their health... most infections are short-lived and not associated with cervical cancer." (Source: "FDA Approves Expanded Use of HPV Test," March 31, 2003, www.FDA.gov)
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, an independent consumer health advocate who opposes compulsory vaccinations, has unleashed a volley of multimedia files designed to expose the scientific fraud behind Gardasil vaccines while educating the public about the real health risks that may be associated with HPV vaccinations. His special report, "The Great HPV Vaccination Hoax Exposed" is available now at: http://www.newstarget.com/Report_HPV_Vaccine_0.html
Adams has also created a 10-minute YouTube video highlighting the scientific fraud behind HPV vaccinations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK97CHQZhq0
Adams has also posted a 45-minute audio report on the HPV vaccination fraud. It's called the Health Ranger Report and features a detailed discussion of the evidence showing the scientific fraud and fear mongering that's powering Big Pharma's mandatory vaccination push in America today. The program is available for immediate download as an MP3 file at: http://www.NewsTarget.com/podcasts/HRR015_HPV_48.MP3
In addition, Adams participated earlier today in a fast-rising podcast show called Real Health with Dr. Steve which features multiple guests in a fast-paced, information-rich format. The show is now listed on iTunes and can be accessed directly at: http://web.mac.com/drsteve720/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html
(The Adams interview on HPV Vaccinations is found in show #11, which was not yet posted at the time of this story, but should appear within 2-3 days.)
http://www.newstarget.com/022405.html
Finally, Adams joined nutritionist Jonny Bowden and Sugar Shock author Connie Bennett in an unrelated (but very entertaining and educational) audio show today. The Sugar Shock BlockTalkRadio show is available for live listening now at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stopsugarshock
These are all part of Mike Adams' efforts to educate the public on the truth about mandatory vaccination programs, which he says are deceptively marketed and based on "scientific fraud."

Christmas
I celebrate Christmas. I don't celebrate the season. I don't celebrate the Solstice. I don't celebrate Yule. I celebrate Christmas.
My daughter was born on 4th December, but we're not having her birthday party until 5th January. Is the fact that she was born in December a reason not to celebrate in January? We've even had a bday party for her in August! Who really cares? The point is we're celebrating her birth. I know that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th. He probably wasn't even born in Winter at all. I don't really care when He was born, but I and lots of other Christians take this day to celebrate His birth.
"We Christians" didn't decide to take this day & move it closer to a Pagan holiday to try to "Christianise" it. Some other Christians who are dead by now, did. I don't know who they were, or if they were even real Christians. I think they were Catholics, but I'm not entirely sure. Catholics are a lot different from other Christians.
If you don't celebrate Christmas, then don't. I really don't want to hear your arguments for why I shouldn't celebrate Christmas. I don't tell you why you should.
I would love to see stores wishing everyone a happy holiday season, and not with a general "happy holidays" sign in the window. How about "Happy Hannukah" next to "Merry Christmas" and "Blessed Solstice"?
Look for another post like this one around Easter time...

Tamales
We're going to make lots of tamales today! We need some for tonight's Xmas party, plus our regular 100+ Xmas tamales :)
*reminder ~ put beans to cook as soon as this entry is posted*
Troy made the chicken & red chile last night, & sliced the green chiles, I made the masa, sliced the cheese & soaked the husks, Chloe chopped the olives. Annika helped Troy & I with everything.
I don't know if we're going to make sweet ones this year. Or potato ones, no one has mentioned them. Though Troy *did* buy a big bag of potatoes...
We did some shopping yesterday. Troy wanted his gifts to come from the thrift shop, so he got 2 pairs of jeans, and a nice shirt for under $10! Maybe we should do all of our shopping at the thrift shop!
Today's weather is perfect...grey, rainy & windy <3

Greenies
I'm so tired of all these supposedly 'green' people telling me that they buy [expensive] green cleaning products. When I say I use vinegar, baking soda & lemon juice, they say "Oh..." or sometimes "Those don't clean well enough". Well, if they think those things don't clean well enough, they're just not trying very hard, or they're going for a sterile environment. As we all should know by now, humans are meant to live in sterile environments. We NEED to be exposed to various germs in order to build up our immunity to them.
I wonder if these are the same people who are for vaccinations?
Troy distracted me, so I can't finish this rant :p

10 Days
10 days till Xmas Eve!!!
We have some extra money coming in tonight, so we'll finally be able to do some shopping. We know that Xmas isn't about presents, but it sure is fun to open them :)
We'll be making tamales next week, that's always fun!! A lot of work, but fun. This year, we'll probably give out the extras to the homeless people that we normally give burritos to. We had loooooooooaaaads left over last year, and they ended up going in the trash :( I felt really bad, but after being in the freezer for a couple of months, well...they get icky.
Speaking of burritos, we're having a BP party on the 23rd, just have to work out the time. I'm excited!

Drama
"Unfortunately we live in a society that is addicted to drama, and the mainstream media continue to help satisfy the addiction with their sensational stories about birth."
— Linda McHale and Barbara Nobel Schelling
Not only satisfy, but encourage. It seems that our culture thinks if a birth is not dramatic, then it is abnormal. Nothing to talk about. What? No interventions? How boring. No being "rescued" by the doctor? No respiratory team awaiting your just born child? DULL.
When a woman talks about the natural birth of her child, people are bored. They say "Oh, that's good", and that's about it. But when you have interventions & surgery, that's when they're listening & that's when they're full of questions & comments.
Sad.
