Temat: Komunia presents

May is round the corner and all social/interest groups are being flooded with Komunia present ideas. Is it just me, or it's no longer a holy ceremony but rather, as Rafal might term it, a dick-waving contest? Nine-year-olds DEMAND computers, laptops, cameras, PS3 or Xbox sets, and cell phones as if being able to be a part of the great miracle (i.e. transforming a piece of bread into the body of a long dead person) was a great achievement that needs to be handsomly rewarded. Whatever happened to the proverbial gold watch?

I got money off all my relatives. It came to a total of 30 quid. I spent it all on sweets on holiday.

My godson is making his communion next year. I've already started dropping hints that he won't be getting the latest laptop on the market.

If my kids were going to have their first holy communion, I'd buy them some rosary beads to keep them on the path that the Good Lord intends.

But, thankfully, they won't be having a holy communion.

Telescope. They're fun and interesting, and you don't have to spend too much for a starter (at least not here).

Microscope. Same deal.

A carved wooden flute, little guitar, a kid's keyboard.

A ring.

Or just write a nice letter for posterity. I would dig that myself if I were a kid, especially if my grown ups kept it safe for me for later years.

I would drive my kids as far away as I can from the church etc..

maybe I wouldn't leave them any choice... but I didn't have one too... I was baptised and I have no bloody idea why...

anyway... I have been given a few nintendo games a watch, a calculator and a golden necklace with a lil' golden christ..
i have none of these anymore... and as if I try do relieve the very komunia moment... there was a nice dinner and I was really happy about the nintendo games..

Exactly! I don't think kids see it as sth profound, how can they when their parents worry all too much about the dresses, dinner, guests, presents? Do they talk to their kids how important a moment it is for a Catholic? Or is it?

"Komunie" have always looked like a small congregation of underage pimps and trollops. Boys tend to wear scaled down versions of 80s suits we saw in "Miami Vice", girls are looking like pedophiles' dream - nymphettes in pseudoregal gowns and most of them only waiting to whip out their newest PS3 or Hanna Montana's "'Lil slut from the Midwest" set.

Temat: Komunia presents

I remember meeting all my favourite aunts and uncles I had never seen before or known they existed.

I got a lot of money, which went straight to a savings account and was later to be used by my parents. And some beach towels which were totally en vogue at that star date.

How about a tofu cake and a ticket for a Alanis Morisette concert?

My nephew would probably like to get a top electric guitar. Luckily, I still have 2 weeks to find a better paid job.

I saw a homemade sign on the side of a country road here for a new electric guitar for 499 USD. Geez. (You can tell when US economics are hard when the first boat, trailer, snowmobile etc are at the road sides for sale - the "toys").

You will get your nephew a canvas and some paints.

I have spoken. :)))

thanks, Joy for your advice, but..he already has such a painting-kit or whatever you call it *sigh*. I'll probably give him some money, but you never know how much is enough or too little, and then the kid may get disappointed..Hopefully, my worries will prove far-fetched, for I love my nephew dearly and would never like to make him unhappy.

Then it doesn't matter, you have him for life, and I'm sincere. He has you :) Doesnt matter. Serio. Give him a cool rock and say it's from you :)Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 19.05.10 o godzinie 17:50

hmm I'll think about it ;) but seriously, my nephew can be pretty straightforward, like when we drove somewhere and he complained about my cinquecento being so old-fashioned, with no dvd player in it. Shame on me. He stopped, when I told him he could always go on foot ;) anyways, I'll have the same problem within two yrs - then my niece is going to have her 'komunia'.
