So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

This Season's Favorite Things from Oprah

By Tasha Miller

If you have heard of Oprah you know that the most popular show Oprah does each year is her "Season's Favorite Things" show which is usually around Thanksgiving each year. Fans will do just about anything to get the sacred golden ticket be on this special show. The audience can find out first hand what the season's favorite things are while Oprah shares with the studio and television audience several of her favorite things, no matter what they are or what the cost.

The lucky people that are in the audience literally have gifts thrown at them and are showered with gifts each holiday episode. There have been shows where the audience members have received over $10,000 worth of gifts. People love this show for obvious reasons.

Having your product featured on Oprah's "Season's Favorite Things" can be a real eye opener for a company. Oprah's staff does warn them that they will get slammed, but most really don't understand what that means until the show airs. One companies sales rose to $450,000 the year it aired and the following year their sales went to $840,000.

Members of the audience receive extravagant gifts each year, totaling in price from $4000 to $15000 and they all have something in common. No sooner than they appear on Oprah's show the demand for these products goes crazy and with being so close to the holiday's people want to know...Where they can find them?

Last fall Oprah's favorite things included of a list of 20 products as it usually does. Of the 20 times in last year's show, one in particular has been on two other favorite things shows. Can you remember what the product was? What will be on this year's show?

Even though all the gifts are donated by the manufacturers, they will certainly reap the benefits from doing so and this year will be no different. The fall show is within days of airing and her loyal viewers are anxiously anticipating this year's show.

What will be on this years show? Can you guess what item it was that has been featured on three of the favorite things shows? And because people still buy this item by the droves, is it possible that a different style will be on this year's show?
