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

Finding Gems In Florida Festivals

By Rita Horowitz

What do you think of when you go to a fair or a festival? Like many people around you, you will probably think of rides, or maybe the corndogs, or even some unforgettable puppy love date back when you were a kid. This is natural, as that is the main draw of these fairs.

If I may convince you to take a moment and think about it, though, you'll notice that one of the key attractions of these fairs and festivals are the booths and stalls that litter the inside. Particularly, take a gander at the various crafts and wars available there. I assure you, you will find a lot of interesting items there.

More often than not, the very person who made them sells these crafts. By chatting with this person, getting to know him or her, you slowly realize the fragment of the artist's soul imbued in the craft. If the item strikes your fancy, go ahead and buy it; the sentimental value of such an object increases when you know the ideology behind creating it.

Of course, you'll find booths that have people there who were just hired to mind the stall. I have nothing against them and nothings against the people who made the crafts. A few craftsmen prefer anonymity, and the sense of mystery around their creations. In which case, you are free to imbue the items with your own special fragment, thus making it unique through ways all your own.

Either way, it's still fun to go to fairs and festivals. Along with the normal rides and fair delicacies that normally occur, showcasing artistic craft shows are fairly common. If you can't find one, the Sunshine State of Florida has an abundance of these shows. All you have to do is find one that best fits your schedule.
