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

Tactics For Students To Efficiently Protect Themselves Whenever Left Alone

By Typhani D Boissiere


My mother and father started to be uneasy when a schoolmate of mine was said nowhere to be found. Her own mother and father visited our college campus and many of her pals were asked, also.

I walk going to school considering that we just live a couple of blocks away however this distance did very little to make my mother and father feel at peace with my safety. Thus, my mommy got me a pink pepper spray keychain that she then hooked onto my backpack.

Even though I walk home with other kids, there are times when their parents pick them up and I will be left alone. This was exactly what my folks were concerned about.

Given that father and mother are not always there to watch me, they feel that kidnappers will strike in one of those instances. As soon as my mom got the compact pepper spray off a self-defense store, she briefed me on the way to utilize it and when.

I had seen mini pepper sprays in the past but it never occurred to me that I will need one at some point. She got me a 1/2 oz. Pepper Shot with colored leatherette holster. It is a very small gizmo that is included with a quick key release key chain. Despite its size, it could produce 6 to 10 one-second bursts at a range of 6 to 8 feet.

She told me that my key chain pepper spray is non fatal nor any other kind of defense spray. I simply need to spray straight at the target then dash as quickly as I can. It can obstruct the air passages and swell the mucous membrane however the results is going to fizzle out in a few moments.

Mommy pointed out to call attention to passersby or head to the nearest safe place such as my school or the police station. Once there, I must dial her telephone number or my dad's.

Before I head out for school, I check my things to find out if my pink pepper spray keychain is there. As scary as the thought of being assaulted is, I understand that I'm well protected with it even though alone.
