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

Short Prom Dresses Are In Vogue

By Neene Baker


Fashion is a fickle creature since it changes and is affected by so many factors that a fad can last just a few weeks only to be replaced by another. Look through the many styles that we have seen through the years and you will see a pace of change that is both furious and eccentric. In recent memory, we have come from shoulder pads to metal chains to lighted shirts to throwback fashion in a spin cycle of trends.

High school is such a formative part of our lives. We find ourselves and develop our look as we go through the awkward phase of puberty. We grow out of cartoon character shirts and develop our aesthetic foundations here.

There are many opportunities that this phase offers us in terms of dressing up. From spring formals to graduation, how we remember high school is a string of memorable social functions. And we look through the pictures that we took of those days and cringe at how awkward we looked. But look closely at those pictures, for the younger you was still trying to find your look and you can see hints of it there.

If there is one big event that we dressed to the hilt for, it was our prom night. Today, the in thing is to have short prom dresses. Because we live in a much more liberal time, we see that the dresses that are worn in these functions have used less and less material. Getting the best prom dress can be definitive of your high school life.

Another social event that happens in our school is the homecoming party. We pick out homecoming dresses for that very special night. A night to look back at our past and meet the new and improved versions of our peers.

These two very distinct pieces of clothing tell a lot about our personalities. How we look and our sense of style is derived from these special moments where we learned a lot. A lot of people may see it as a superficial thing, but really, how we carry our clothes is the only way for us to project our personalities to everyone we meet. Fashion may be fickle, but the choices that we make regarding it is one that comes from us and not from the magazines or fashion authorities.
