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

Halloween Safety: Trick or Treat Alternatives

By Occiane Lambert

A lot more people have been turning from the traditional trick or treating to alternatives that can be just as fun and is a lot safer. If you are thinking about doing that, here are some good ideas for you and your family to try this Halloween season.

The first thing you need to do is go to your community website. There you will be able to see all of the different activities that the community is organizing. You can even volunteer to help for free items or discounts.

If the community bulletin board doesn't have activities that interest your family, consider organizing your own, such as a pumpkin carving contest or trunk or treating.

If you are unfamiliar with trunk or treats, they are a fun alternative for children. A group of friends park their cars in a neighborhood or parking lot, open up their trunks and allow children to go from trunk to trunk for candy. Many people decorate their trucks and fun is had by all.

Trunk or tricks are a great way for church communities to celebrate Halloween. Instead of focusing on the negative side of it, you can show how fun and safe it can be for your children. You also wont have to spend hours walking around the neighborhood with your children because you can simply watch them from your own car trunk as you hand out candy as well.

Another good way to keep in the activity of trick or treating is to check out local mall listings that offer it. Many mall stores hand out candy to young children dressed up on Halloween. It is another way to save time and energy and still allow your children to go around and get candy that you know is safe.

Local radio and media outlets also sponsor Halloween events for children. Usually, they involve free candy and give away prizes.

These tips were presented by Hip Hop 50's Shop. We understand the need for safety during the Halloween season. We also offer fun and safe Halloween costumes for both children and adults. Visit our website for more information.
