haha your funny undercover! lol
asilentone... I would say it depends, I would say if it's the oppisite sex and you guys are attracted to each other or maybe they think you are cute yes... if it's an old friend that is being silly or is afraid to say hi no... My best friend who is a JW and I'm not, pokes me because she can't talk to me but she wants to let me know she still thinks of me. :) Miss her.
Anyways I would say no but it can be. lol
i had a wonderful thanksgiving with my husband's family and we spent the night.
the next morning we had a good breakfast and decorated the tree.
and my mother in law (my husband's step mom, who i adore and love) gave out early christmas gifts... ornaments, and a wow wow huge christmas cross to hang on the wall!

Geez It looks really cool actually kinda goes with the latin decor look. Anyways my problem is wow I still guess I'm hung up on the cross thing. I still feel the need to avoid things I feel will disrespect God. And yeah I feel hanging this cross will be so disrespectful.
Any thoughts on the matter? I feel like packing it away and when ever she comes over bring it out during christmas time. Ha
this will be my third christmas and i love it!!!
i love buying gifts to my friends and family (those who are out) .
and best of all, this year i've got a boyfriend.
Well hopefully my hubby won't look at this post then lol but I got him an Amplafire for his guitar so he can start playing. I got my sister in laws buckle accessories... like jewery and stuff. I got their boyfriends a wallet and a button down from buckle too. Their kids toys. And my mother in laws PJs and necklace. I still have more I want to get but that's so far like $300 worth... lol
i'm so excited, im going out to buy my first christmas tree today!
it will be small, but it will be great.

Thanks diamondiiz! I know because of this it's frusterating to find the actual true... so many opinions or half of what is said is lead with ideas and assumptions.

Personally I still don't celebrate Jesus Christ as part of Christmas but celebrate christmas as part of gift giving and a time to remember family and friends and those who love you... kinda like thanks giving... and then with the idea of yes thank you God for giving me such a wonderful family!! :)
I still celebrate or remember Jesus sacrifies around Easter time... the way I was taught as a JW, Memorial Day. Not so much his birth I guess. But maybe I should start... ;)

Heck yeah!! How awesome I totally know the feeling of experiencing holidays with someone! :) I remember my first time spending Christmas with my husband's family it was alot of fun! I did kinda miss my family though not having the close family get togethers we use to have because that's what it reminded me of. Well sorry about your sister I know exactly how that is considering I have a pioneer sister too who doesn't talk to me but at least she seemed happy bout me being pregnant when I called her... my grandma just blew me off and said I love you dear but we can't talk you know about being a JW, so come back in so I can talk to you. :( Not cool.. she didn't even say congrads! So yeah it's hard I know but over time I feel less and less emotional about it. I'm kinda use to it now and happy for the family I have! :) Oh yes and even more happy I can open up to this whole new experience for me of celebrating holidays freely!!
I already got my In laws gifts and my husband!! I went all out too this year!! lol Hope they like it!
