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

Purchasing Wide Leg Boots Online

By Linda Jenkins

If you have larger calves, you've probably experienced the annoyance and disappointment that comes from shopping for wide leg boots in ordinary footwear stores. You could be a plus size, a runner or cyclist with lots of muscle, or just built with thicker calves than the shoe industry considers normal. No matter why you have trouble finding boots, you're probably sick of broken zippers and tight boot tops!

Fortunately, there's a solution that doesn't involve forgoing boots forever. Boots are currently a fashion essential, and no one wants to do without. Instead, consider ordering online from wide boot specialty retailers. After all, except for a few clunky, flexible boot styles like Uggs, most boots are made to fit very closely. You can find larger calf sizes in certain brands, if you know where to look.

There are some styles that work better for wide calves than others. If you've been looking for styles that aren't specialty boots but will still fit, you'll need to try these kinds first. Remember that this won't fix everything - very wide calves don't fit these boots. However, if your calves are only a little too wide, you may be able to choose suede-look stretch boots.

These boots not only fit - they can even make your calves look thinner. Of course, it's important to remember that your stretch boots never should feel like they're cutting your circulation off. If you feel like this is happening, check online for wide top boot styles instead. While stretch boots often look too small to fit at first, in most cases they expand to fit. Another great choice if your calves are "almost there" is to pick a slouch type.

Of course, if you decide to wear ankle boots instead, fitting the calf isn't an issue. Just remember that if you're wearing them with a skirt, your calf size will be highlighted, and your legs may even appear bigger than they really are. This is probably the main reason that celebrities who wear short skirts and short boots haven't started any major trends yet.

Fashion boots, with or without a heel, are a much more daunting prospect for most of us with larger calves. They don't yield, have stretch panels or lacing, and often sport zippers that make it hard for them to fit calves larger or smaller than they were designed for. Unfortunately, these boots are also currently very popular, and are a must with many current styles. So, if you're interested in keeping up with fashion, or just like sleek, high boots, you'll be concerned about getting ones that fit your legs.

There are a number of online retailers out there offering styles for large calves. It's easy to buy online, though you should check the seller's return policy in case of a bad fit. Measure the largest part of your calf in either inches or centimeters, depending on where you're ordering from, then match your calf size and the foot size you usually wear.

Remember to check shaft height as well, especially if you're on the petite side or if you have long legs. Most wide leg boots have some extra stretch built in - in case you have trouble measuring. They're a great choice for anyone who wants to look good and have boots that fit!
