It’s nice to start Christmas with a large group of people as well. My mom and sometimes my sister come with me. Then say Merry Christmas to everyone there & then go home and have a drink.
Quite a few of the people in the Midnight Mass seem to do it the other way round & come straight from the pub.
I’ve seen these calendars in Chinese-owned businesses and homes. They advertise the banks. Some of them look pretty nice and some don’t, but for sure they are advertisements.
I can look around and ask around for calendars for sale–will let you know. Maybe M4L knows.
in case you didnt want to read that. here are the 10 characteristics of indigo children
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).
They have a feeling of “deserving to be here,” and are surprised when others don’t share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue; they often tell the parents “who they are.”
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don’t require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like “system busters” (nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to “guilt” discipline (“Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did”).
They are not shy in letting it be known what they need.

Rob, I’m almost afraid to ask, but … what are “indigo children”?
essentially they are children with special powers.
…”Indigo Children allegedly have special psychological and spiritual attributes. The indigo child concept was first popularized by the book The Indigo Children, written by the husband and wife team of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. He claims to have learned of the concept via conversations with a spiritual entity he calls “Kryon.” The adjective “indigo” is used because it is claimed these children appear with an indigo-hued aura. There is no scientific basis whatsoever for the concept of an “aura,” let alone an “indigo child”.
Those who support the concept claim the proportion of ‘indigos’ in recent times to be very large and increasing, rising from 85% in 1992 to 95% at some point after 1994. In previous decades the proportion is claimed to have been much lower. There are, however, no verfiable statistics to back these claims up, let alone a methodology for identifying or classifying an “indigo child.”
Although Carroll states that while most of the traits of indigos are physically observable (there is no evidence of this), the indigo child concept is also metaphysical in nature. Carroll describes himself as a channeller for Kryon, a supposed angelic being that he claims exists. One of the book’s six chapters focuses on the supposed spiritual aspects of claimed indigos, and includes information that is best classified as new age metaphysical or pseudoscientific. Some individuals believe the “arrival” of these supposed indigo children is wholly a spiritual phenomenon, and that indigo children are supposedly the beginning of a new hybrid, possibly alien. Spiritual author Doreen Virtue has also written books on this topic and another group of children called Crystal Children – all semantics as we search for answers.
According to Carroll and Tober, “the Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before.” They assert these children are often misdiagnosed with Attention-Deficit Disorder or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and they advise parents to avoid medicating these children for that condition despite warnings from legitimate doctors. This pattern, they claim, has unique factors that call on parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these children in order to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration.
The title “indigo children” was originally given to people with the ten attributes described below who were mainly born in the period from 1975 through 1995. Some sources use the term “crystal children” to describe indigos at a young age (younger than age 7); and some state that the children being born today (after the year 2000) are “crystal children” who are more sensitive and spiritually connected than the indigos, who they claim are more warrior-like in nature. Carroll and Tober have not detailed why their classification is particularly more useful or accurate than approaches based on conventional child psychology and sociology; rather, they claim the list was “channeled” by Carroll from a mystical entity they call Kryon. I am not much into metaphysical channeling.
Carroll and Tober identify ten attributes that they claim describe the indigo child:
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).
They have a feeling of “deserving to be here,” and are surprised when others don’t share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue; they often tell the parents “who they are.”
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don’t require creative thought.

They will not respond to “guilt” discipline (“Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did”).
They are not shy in letting it be known what they need.
This list makes certain people feel special – just as the old Starseed Quiz created by Brad Steiger years ago when those who sought special purpose found themselves scoring high on the test.
We are searchers who often become healers and helpers. We often use labels – where none should exist.
Again we asked … how well do the Star Seeds and Indigo Children born years ago, function? Didn’t their true issues eventually surface in their late teens [bi-polar disorders among other challenges] – and early 20’s when they became lost in society?
The traits listed above are not unique. They are observable in most children. This supposed new type of child is believed by them to have come forward for a reason; most often suggested is that they will improve the world in some way. The changes generally discussed involve bringing peace, toppling corrupt institutions, and a shift from allopathic medicine to a greater understanding of more natural alternatives. According to many believers, indigo children are more in touch with a so-called “universal truth,” and do not tolerate or understand behaviors or systems that are not in harmony with it. Indigo children are sometimes said to possess an extreme longevity, with a lifespan of several hundred years. There is no evidence to substantiate this claim.
It is possible to use the traits assigned to supposed indigo Children as a weakly scientific observation of social trends, rather than as a signifier of a new race or form of consciousness. Educators, generally, have not embraced the indigo child supposition for lack of evidence. Some alternative educators have accepted the indigo concept, and have related their mission to the needs of so-called indigo
Sound like spoiled brats.

Arkady,

He was surprised. The relationship lasted about another year.
Whoa, Rob. Way too effing long.
