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

Before You Buy a Couch: 6 Things You Should Know

By Steven M. Fisher

1: COLOR IS KEY.

The first thing you will respond to is the color, so look for a color that works with the colors you already have in your room or that express your style.

2: COMFORTABILITY.

Make sure you like the feel. Bounce on the cushions. Test it out like it was already in your home.

3: THE DURABILITY TEST.

Wiggle the arms. Do they hold firm, indicating good workmanship? Lift the frame. Does it feel heavy and sturdy?

4: GET THE FEEL.

Do you like the feel of the fabric? Are the seams straight and does the fabric line up properly? Most importantly, do you like the way it feels when you sit and relax on it?

5: PRICE CHECK.

Double check the price against other sofas you have looked at. Quality sofas are available in all price ranges.

6: MAKE SURE IT FITS.

Make sure it fits, but doesn't overwhelm. Additionally, you want to make sure it isn't dwarfed by your other pieces.
