My family doesn't have baby showers because we don't like to celebrate before a baby is born, so the Christening tends to be the big party event where family and friends bring gifts. With the family friends that have had baby showers, the Christening has tended to be more for immediate family and the closest of friends. Those who did bring gifts to both tended to bring a big gift to the shower and a smaller gift, like an outfit for the baby to the Christening.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Since Joe and I aren't religious in any sense of the word, we had a blessing down on the beach in Santa Monica. We each had a balloon and we all made our wish for her and then released the balloons. And then we all went to dinner at Gladstone's.
sighhhh...

One evening, my friend Nikki and I were wandering around Union Square singing the Tigger Song at the top of our lungs. Other than a couple people joining in, we didn't get noticed. Love. This. City.
I have no opinion on baby dedications/christenings, except to note that ZenKitty's coworker seems to be a greedy, present-hogging bitca.
