What did you give?
What did you get?
What stores, products, deals, etc. do you recommend?
And of course this is the Yeshiva World Coffee Room so… what is your hashkafik opinion about presents? Is it Chukos HaGoyim?
December 22, 2008 5:27 pm at 5:27 pm #715284mazal77ParticipantSorry, didn’t give anything and didn’t get anything. My kids have tons of toys, books, CD’s, etc… They didn’t need anything. I wrote on a previous thread that I felt giving gifts too much like the goyim anyway. Since when did this gift giving business on Chanukah start anyway?? If someone could tell who started this mishugaus, I would love to know??
December 22, 2008 5:51 pm at 5:51 pm #715285JosephParticipantmazal:
The retailers and advertising. And you are correct, it comes from kratsmich.
December 22, 2008 6:52 pm at 6:52 pm #715286myshadowMemberDidnt get anything. I could use a new car tho
December 23, 2008 4:49 pm at 4:49 pm #715287charlie brownMembermaybe someone can provide shadow with an ascii art new car? 🙂
December 23, 2008 4:58 pm at 4:58 pm #715288CuriousMemberOK shadow – pick one, and one only.

December 23, 2008 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm #715297charlie brownMembercurious,
you didn’t have to be that honest, lol. I may be overweight but at least I haven’t aged at all.
myshadow,

We could go get mod some coffee no milk 2% sugar on the way (did I get it right)
2% sugar, what are you trying to do to me??? maybe I need to start a whole thread on how does everyone drink their coffee :o). Ok for those who do not know: no sugar and 2% milk thanks anyway – it’s the thought that counts. YW Moderator-72

December 23, 2008 8:46 pm at 8:46 pm #715304squeakParticipantYes, 72. That is why I offered you a choice only from my famous Cyber Blend and Java Applet Coffees. Your safety is ensured by simply running the brew through a reliable virus scan.
December 23, 2008 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm #715305myshadowMembercurious you gotta write that that has *no sugar and 2% milk* only!

BTW mods, my post/graphic for ********* didn’t make its way up here. Is that what I get for giving you coffee with NO sugar?
I felt that the post that didn’t make it could make the intended feel uncomfortable. YW Moderator-72
December 23, 2008 9:04 pm at 9:04 pm #715307CuriousMemberOK. You’re right. I’ll try another one (I’ll be nice. I promise)

December 24, 2008 3:52 am at 3:52 am #715322CuriousMemberI think your pic is on the chanukah presents thread. I did not leave you out.
December 24, 2008 3:55 am at 3:55 am #715323CuriousMemberOoops. Ignore that last post. It’s on the “YWN Biggest Blogger” thread.
December 24, 2008 3:32 pm at 3:32 pm #715324myshadowMembercurious, you gotta start a thread and draw each poster a pic!
December 24, 2008 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm #715325squeakParticipantIf you do, please do not make a rubber ducky for me. It would not be correct.
December 24, 2008 4:18 pm at 4:18 pm #715326myshadowMemberBtw, I gotta thank YWN for something, I don’t know where the other thread on chanuka gifts was, but when I was reading through it I really learnt something new.
I always gave out chanuka gifts, but this year when I was reading the thread on how the idea of gifts originated from xmas, I decided no more gifts and I’m only giving out gelt this year!
Thanx guys!

'At your service myshadow. That will be a $5.95 fee billed to your credit card. Oh, and you still owe me 5 bucks for a Chanukah present.
December 26, 2008 2:02 am at 2:02 am #715335anon for thisParticipantSJS were you able to pick up anything at CVS Sunday or Monday? All the A&H cleaner was gone at mine but I picked up some other stuff (but I’m not as good as you since I rolled $43 in ecbs from Thanksgiving and paid $1 out of pocket).
December 26, 2008 3:05 am at 3:05 am #715336wtrbry rocksMembercurious- I think squeak needs a mouse, not a rubber ducky
