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

Enter the World of the Traditional Wedding Cake Topper

By Sue Toliver

Do you know those little figures that are on the top of the wedding cake? What are they called? For those of us who refer to them as "figures", there is a more formal name. They are called wedding cake toppers, and the wonderful world of the special wedding cake toppers was started off by the more traditional. In this article we will explore their world. Here are four particular designs that we like a lot:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick #1) One of our favorites, the "Contentment" Calla Lily Porcelain Cake Topper is very traditional. It depicts the bride and groom on the "big day", and the love that the couple has for each other is clearly depicted by the bride's hand upon the groom's face. Note the groom as he holds his new bride's waist. The bride is elegantly dressed in a strapless wedding gown, and the groom is handsomely dressed in tux and tails. Complimenting the design is a handmade bouquet of calla lillies. The specifications of this traditional piece are:

a) Overall Size is: 7" x 3"

b) Beautifully hand-painted.

c) Handcrafted fine porcelain

d) Weighs 0.75 lbs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2) The "Ebony Enchantment" Porcelain African-American Cake Topper shows a beautiful princess who has found her Prince Charming. This enchanting African-American cake topper will make a lovely addition to any wedding cake. The bride is dressed in a flowing white gown, with "off-the-shoulder" ruffles, lace trim, and a flowing veil. The flower additions of a beautiful pink bouquet, and roses in her hair, add a splash of color. Complementing the bride, the groom is wearing a black tuxedo and bow-tie with a pink boutonniere. This fairy-tale couple is the perfect complement to a wedding cake. The features and facts are:

a) Dimensions: 6 1/2" x 3 1/2"

b) Beautifully hand-painted.

c) Handcrafted out of porcelain.

d) Weighs in at 0.55 lbs.

#3) The "First Kiss" Bride and Groom Cake Topper shows the happy couple sharing their first kiss as man and wife. This kiss can have you dancing on a cloud. Celebrate this emotion with this elegant cake topper that highlights the happy couple. The slender bodies of these faceless figurines are positioned in a graceful embrace. Their hands and lips (along with their hearts) connect with unmistakable joy...ready to dance the night away. The bride is wearing a stylish white strapless gown with shoulder-length veil. The groom is wearing a dapper black tuxedo. They beautifully reflect the contemporary spirit of a couple starting their life of wedded bliss.

Here are more features and facts:

a) Made from poli-resin.

b) Measuring in at 6" tall.

Item #4) Depicting a romantic African-American bride and groom in a loving embrace, the "Sweet Embrace" African-American Wedding Cake Topper is sure to be a welcome addition to any wedding. The couple is celebrating their first kiss together as husband and wife, and soon they will be dancing the night away. The bride is depicted in a stylish white strapless wedding gown (equipped with a shoulder-length veil). The groom is handsomely dressed in a dapper black tuxedo. Both are aptly dressed to exude the contemporary and modern spirit of the happy couple they represent. Here are some more details on this piece:
