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

Toddler Years are the Basis of a Child's Imagination

By Edie Mindell

When most baby girls hit about 18 months they begin to show great interest in babies. It is always so cute to see toddlers, only barely past infancy themselves pointing to and trying to care for other children they identify as a 'bebe'. Most toddlers of this age and interest are provided with a baby doll of her own to love, in some cases many baby dolls.

Your toddler loves to hold and cuddle her baby. Why not foster that interest and imaginative play by adding the fun extras this Christmas? There are many different baby dolls to choose from. Everything from dolls that cry to dolls that wet their diaper after feeding them a baby bottle full of water.

Doll furniture is available in any shape or size you can imagine. There is no end to what you can find. If a real baby uses it, there is a replica made for her baby doll too.

Cribs for baby dolls come in all shapes, sizes and colors. It is so much more fun to shop for doll furniture to baby your baby's baby than it was to pick it for yourself. A word of caution here: toddlers like to climb. Large upright or rocking varieties might need to be carefully considered. More basic models that are close to the floor will keep your toddler out of trouble.

When it comes to doll furniture cribs are only the tip of the iceberg. You will find high chairs, mobiles, swings, rocking chairs, car seats, bouncy seats and diaper changing tables. Just remember your child is likely to test them for her own baby, so make sure they are sturdy and safe in case your child climbs in too.

Strollers are very popular as the 'little mommy' can pretend she is taking her baby for a walk in the park or across the family room to the grocery store she has set up on her own little table and chairs she also got for Christmas or her first birthday.

If your little mommy likes to bathe her doll there are accessories for that too: miniature tubs, towels wash clothes and shampoo bottles. There are even some kinds of dolls that show clean or dirty spots depending on the water temperature your child uses to clean their faces.

Baby towels, washcloths and blankets are important to round out the imaginary story your little girl will have made up, as she plays out the day, including putting her baby to bed at night, complete with bedtime stories.

A diaper bag is a must have for baby care, even when your baby is a plastic doll. Toddlers love to do what they see their parent's doing. Give your child a diaper bag and a few extras like tiny diapers, a set of wipes, bottles and Velcro bibs and they will have hours of fun simply packing and unpacking the diaper bag.

Don't forget the dress up clothes. Putting on a play dress, complete with high heels, hat and purse sets the stage for looking her best when she is out on the town with her newborn. In her fantasy world, she wants to look her best as she stops on the way to allow other fantasy mom's to ooh and aah over her carriage.

All of these play activities are important to discovering how the world works and to expand the imagination muscles that will help to form her ability to create a life of wonder and turn that into her own reality.

Sick of Paying Double for your iPhone Ringtones?

There are many places from where you can download ringtones for your iPhone. The scenario with most phones when you want to download tones is that you download the tones to your computer and then you transfer the tones to the phone by syncing both devices. But with the iPhone it is a little more complicated.

Every iPhone owner has the iTunes installed on their computer. The process of transferring ringtones from the iTunes manager to your iPhone is not difficult but it is also not very simple either. However, once you do have the phone synced you can get this done quite easily.

The planet is loaded with all types of ringtones, from the cool ones to some quirky ones. There are also, funny ringtones or loud ones; some come with peaceful nature sounds too.

Hand Held Bug Zapper

By Frank Williams

If you aren't already familiar with the hand held bug killer, you are really going to like it and if you have had one before, I'm sure you'll welcome it back like an old pal! The handheld insect zapper does just what it says it does: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, really well.

Any insect that comes into contact with the handheld insect killer is fried. Smaller bugs like gnats and mosquitoes are disintegrated with a very pleasing flash and a crack. Larger insect, like house flies and wasps die, but don't explode like the smaller ones.

Think about it, how many times have these flying bugs taken the edge off an otherwise enjoyable evening in the garden? Or how many times have you not been able to get a decent night's sleep, because you know there's at least one mosquito in the bedroom. It has happened to me dozens and dozens of times, I know! It is very gratifying to get one's own back with the handheld insect killer.

I don't like killing anything unnecessarily - I'm married to a Buddhist- but mosquitoes? I'm sorry, they have to go. And the electronic insect zapper dispatches them without any messing about. No waiting and hoping they'll fly into the ultraviolet light and then into the mesh. No, one sweep of the handheld insect killer and the mosie's gone and you can hear whether you got her or not. (I say her, because the sucking mosquitoes always are females - honest, I wasn't being sexist).

There are two basic types of electric bug killer. There's the battery operated bug zapper and the rechargeable electric bug zapper. Both work on the same principle, but I prefer the rechargeable type, although I suppose you could use rechargeable batteries too. (I bet they would be more expensive that the bug zapper in the first place). Anyway, I have had a electric bug killer of the rechargeable kind for five years and I am very happy with them.

These days, I spend a great deal of time in northern Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your bottom dollar that my handheld insect zapper gets a good work-out almost every night. We usually eat in the garden in the evening and all socializing is done outside by tradition, especially in the rural areas, where we live, so it comes in very handy. I also use my handheld insect zapper to 'sweep' the bedroom for bugs before we go to bed at night, just like a secret agent.

The electric bug zapper just seems to improve every time I buy one, which makes it difficult to give you definite specifications. The electric bug zappers I had four or five years ago, often failed after six to nine months of purchase, although their ability to store a charge reduced a lot after four or five months.

However, the latest electric insect zapper will easily last 9-12 months and still be formidable after nine months. My newest one even has a strong light called a headlamp built into it. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be for, but if you think that revenge is sweet, you can lure mosquitoes with it and then kill them with your electronic insect zapper.

Uncover The Experts' Tips On Decorating A Christmas Tree

By Giselle Taylor

A beautifully done christmas tree is a sight to behold and a joy to have in a home. Hanging up the lights and ornaments is an exciting ritual for many children and continues to be to this day. Many make it a habit to look for christmas tree decorating ideas every year. However you decide, here are some great tips on decorating a christmas tree you can use this season.

Where else do we start but with the foundation-the christmas tree. You can use synthetic and artificial trees if you have one of those stored in the attic. Personally, I just love the smell of a fresh pine in a crisp December morning. You can purchase one in any local christmas tree shop, taking care to choose the perfect fir. Car rides tend to flatten the needles so fluff it up when you unload it to its new home.

Have the tree pruned, washed and dried before you bring it inside your home. Set it up in a spot where it will be showcased best to your friends and guests like the living room or by the foyer. Make sure you place it near a wall socket but far enough that you can walk its circumference comfortably. If you want, you can move it farther against the wall when you're done decorating.

Choose a theme and a color palette and have your tree adhere to these parameters as well. The first decorations you will hang up are the lights. Mini white lights are a classic which go well with anything but take your pick among the different kinds available in the market today. Begin with the lowest set of branches, coiling the strand of lights around the trunk and limbs evenly and work your way upwards.

The next set of decorations we hang up are the holiday garlands wrapped around the tree. Use tinsel for this purpose. There are some with little sequins attached to them and when the light hits it, they give off rainbow colored reflections that are stunning to see. Avoid using edible food like stringed popcorn and cranberries unless you can be sure no mice or bug will sniff this out and gnaw on them in the middle of the night.

We're almost done; we're now at the accessories. Depending on the theme you went for, load up on embellishments that complement it best. For example, trimmings of lace, velvet and pearls naturally lend a timeless and elegant holiday look. Go country by tying sprigs of colorful flowers and herbs in fabrics around the limbs of the tree. Go wild and channel the 80's with neon pink and neon green ornaments. Christmas tree decorating ideas work best when you take the lid off your imagination.

And lastly, hang up pretty christmas balls of different sizes and shades around the whole tree. You can use frosted and shiny, solid and ornate balls together to give the tree a more interesting look. In using fillers, the only thing you need to do is make sure they are equally spread out on each side.

Use these tips on decorating a christmas tree and expect a lot of compliments and delighted looks from your guests. More than anything, remember to be happy. It's Christmas-a season of hope and good cheer, enjoy!

The Best Designer Ties

By Pri Vag

Versace

The show notes for Versace spring/summer 2010 described the collection as "a romantic image of the foreign legion". Consequently we saw militaristic styling with epaulettes, braiding and buttons (but in silver not brass) featuring on crisp linens and light cottons.

The hue remained the same throughout: sandy tones, cream and white delicately merged with tans, oranges and browns. The casting set a grown-up tone with much older models than we've seen elsewhere. Paul Sculfor (who used to date Cameron Diaz), Will Chalker and Andreas Velencoso (Kylie Minogue's beau) gave the clothes a more mature look and spoke to an older clientele.

There was a distinct North African mood, as though the legionnaires had been posted to a deserted and arid territory. Fabrics appeared sun bleached and jackets were often paired over long silk tunics and djellabas. All in all, the message was a clear one: a lazy, hazy and typically sexy Versace summer ahead.

Etro

What's not to love about Etro? Kean Etro is reliably off-trend and all the better for it. In a season where navy blue dominated, Etro in comparison showed every colour under the sun. This is exactly what you want to look like on holiday. From salmon pinks to cornflower blues to paisley printed summer trench coats, these aren't clothes for the shy and retiring.

But in a city where fashion can take itself too seriously, Etro is all about pure enjoyment. Africa was a big influence here, with pockets and elbow patches in Mafai-style beading. This is a collection that is incredibly easy to pack, with crushed cottons that will come out of the suitcase looking as good as they did when they went in.

So for the latest trends and fashion always look for Etro and Versace as they both have fantastic clothes.
