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

Uggs Fashion Sandals Cleaning Care

By Scott Freire

Sheepskin is quite amazing. These single layered sheepskin Ugg boots, where the leather skin is on the outside, have compelling properties. The wool fleece can be worn without socks whereas synthetic fur will make your feet perspire heavily and make your feet ice-cold in winter. Worse yet, synthetics develop an odor quickly.

Au natural Uggs fleece that is against your skin allows for the air to circulate and odor does not have the chance to collect in a damp environment. The natural fibers wick off perspiration form the skin and it is an ideal material for slipper, boot or shoe.

Use commercial water and stain repellents especially during periods of rainy weather. Just spray thoroughly without saturating the leather and be sure to get the seams. When you finish, let the boots dry for 24 hours.

Read the manufacturer's directions carefully. Apply down-wind and not near a flame. Many of these repellent's are extremely flammable and are not the healthiest of aerosols to breathe in.

Sometimes you have to wash you Uggs and if you don't mind a little fading, use a washing machine. Very cold water helps reduce fading. Use Woolite, not soap. Throw in some tea shirts as scrubbers and to keep them from knocking around. Use the light-duty cycle for 10 or 15 minutes.

Pull out the boots at the end of the cycle and if needed, do a soft hand scrub with a little more Woolite with an old toothbrush or nail brush on the surface of the sheepskin suede where there may be some stains or dirt encrusted. Place back in the wash machine and rinse and spin-dry.

When it's time to pull out your Ugg boots, put soda bottles into the shaft. It keeps them upright and straight. Put them in a warm place and check from time to time. Keep an eye out for sheepskin puckering. If that happens, just push and tug the sheepskin to keep the look intact.

In order to prevent water lines, ensure that the boot drys equally. After the boot is dry you can spruce up the pile with a soft brush. Remember to use and re-apply the waterproofing repellent.

Using Woolite and cold water limits fading. Use will stretch the sheepskin. Nevertheless, a good fitting pair needs to fit not too tight but snug.

Deodorize Ugg boots is a simple matter. After the boot is dried use a mixture of baking soda and corn flour to deodorize and soften the inside of the boots. Take 2 tsp of baking powder and 2 tsp of corn flour mixed together and sprinkle them inside the boot and shake the dust around the bottom. Let them stay overnight and shake out the excess in the morning.
