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

Choosing Elegant Spring & Garden Wedding Favors

By Aaron H.

Spring is one of the most common times for couples to get married. New life is beginning all around them following the cold starkness of winter, and couples are marrying to begin a new life together as man and wife instead of two individuals alone. A lot of the symbolism of spring and growing life is a perfect representation of the new marriage, so saying "Thank you" to one's guests by giving spring or garden wedding favors is a great idea.

The giving of favors has become traditional at weddings in recent years. These small, usually inexpensive items are given to one's guests as "Thank you" gifts that convey the gratitude of the bride and groom in a better and more personal manner than sending out "Thank you" cards alone can do. These little items make wonderful keepsakes that will remind the guests of the joy they shared with the happy couple for many years to come, whenever the item is looked at.

Bright colors are usually incorporated into spring wedding favors as a celebration of the vibrancy and growth of newborn lives after the barrenness of winter. It is perfectly normal for couples who marry in spring to include bright colors as they decorate for this same reason. Nearly all spring wedding favors are celebrations of the beginning of new life, which is, after all, the noteworthy feature of spring, with new lives being born or created as plants begin to shoot forth after the temporary death of winter.

Garden wedding favors also pay homage to the beginning of new life, this time focusing mostly on plants and flowers. Flowers of different types and colors are commonly a part of these gift items. As a matter of fact, seed packets containing the seeds of mixed flowering plants that can be used in one's own flower garden are among the most popular items chosen to be given as garden wedding favors. These items create a living, lasting reminder of the joy shared with the happy couple that call to mind these memories every time the plants bloom.

Shopping for spring or garden wedding favors has gotten much easier since the invention of the internet. It is now possible to find these items in much wider variety and at more reasonable prices by shopping online than was ever possible when one was limited to making purchases at a local bridal shop. Also, because the internet is a global marketplace, the actual season where one lives is not a concern because these items are always in season somewhere in the world.

Spring and garden wedding favors make a wonderful addition to any party that celebrates the beginning of a new marriage regardless of the season because the bride and groom are beginning a new life together. These items say "Thank you" to the guests for the time taken out of their own busy schedules more effectively than cards and provide a keepsake item to the guests to help them remember this special day for years to come.
