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

What To Know Prior To Making A Tuxedo Purchase

By Victor B. Sancharo

It is good for all men to know the different types of tuxedo's that are available in the market nowadays. This is because it is of great importance for men to dress appropriately on occasions where they are required to dress formally. There are many classic and trendy styles that you can find on the market.

Before you purchase a tuxedo there are a few things you need to think about. Even though you could rent one for a special occasion, it is still a good idea to have at least one and maybe two included in your wardrobe. That way, it is there if you need it, ready to wear when the occasion arises.

First, you will need to determine how frequent you will be wearing your tuxedo. This is because buying a tuxedo can be relatively expensive if you are looking for a good quality fabric that can last for a long time. It is also ideal to have one in your wardrobe than rent a tuxedo if you are often times invited to formal occasions.

Choosing the right tuxedo for the particular formal event is fairly simple. Light colored fabrics should be worn during the day. A light gray colored tuxedo is appropriate for a day-time formal event. An evening formal requires a darker colored tuxedo, such as midnight blue or black. In order to look your best in a tuxedo, you should carefully examine it for the proper fit, and examine the fabric for any holes or defects.

Proper care is essential to get the most life out of your tuxedo. Immediately after wear, it should be carefully inspected for stains or any other imperfections which require immediate attention. It is advised, also, that a tuxedo hang in a garment bag rather than being folded into a drawer.

A tuxedo can be worn with a bow tie, or without, depending on individual style and comfort levels. Traditionally, a black bow-tie is worn with a tuxedo and is suitable for all tuxedos. There are two different types of bow-ties available--pre-tied which just clip around the neck, or ones which require actually being tied. The ones which require tying should be practiced in order to give it the proper appearance.

Most body types are well-suited for a single-breasted tuxedo. Men who are taller (generally over six feet tall) will look better in a double-breasted tuxedo. Double-breasted tuxedos come in three different styles: traditional double-breasted peak, double breasted notch, and double breasted shawl.

Lastly, you should only wear a vest or a cummerbund but not both at the same time. When wearing a cummerbund, it should be facing upwards as the pleats are designed to face up. It is also advisable for you to choose a subdued color or pattern cummerbund combination when attending a more formal event.
