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

Prep Your Home for Trick-or-Treating

By Andy Kongsri


Here are 5 suggestions for making your home ready for Trick or Treating this Halloween

1. Because people will be coming to your front door for their Halloween treats, it is a good idea to make your home as welcoming as you can, and as safe as possible. A good idea is to make sure your porch light is on during the trick or treating hours. This enables others to feel welcome to come to your home, and the light on will create a feeling of being safe.

2. Your decorations need to be organised. People are much more likely to visit homes that are decorated for Halloween, showing that the people in the home, are having as much fun as those out trick or treating. Elaborate and expensive decorations are not necessary. Your home can look and feel creepy simply by having some well positioned pumpkins, and maybe some other simple but spooky additions.

3. Are you someone who has pets in your home? Dogs in particular should be kept out of reach of the entrance used by those trick or treating, no matter how well the animal relates to children normally. Some dogs may get spooked by some of the costumes that will be appearing at the door, so there is no guarantee that your pet will act as normally as they usually do.

4. Having a great big candy bowl is something that you will be needing. Most trick or treaters will keeping an eye out for that candy bowl, so don't overlook the importance of the bowl. Even if you donĂ¢€™t intend being home, you can still prepare a big candy bowl. Erecting a sign that welcomes people to help themselves to your candy is one way of letting people know.

5. Always ensure that you have a safe path to lead people to your door, and this means no toys lying around, or garden hoses across the path. Sprinklers are something that should be shut off during the trick or treating period. Getting people wet in the cold of night could see some getting sick. If you can light up your pathway that helps with safety as well.
