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

Arranging A Productive Lengthy Car Trip

By Mellie Dodsworth


As a typical car owner, sometimes you will be required to prepare for an extended road trip which will be a little more involved than just the driving you do everyday in your hometown. Whether it's a work-related journey or your family holiday, in the end you just want to have a safe trip and get to the end of your journey on time. Any time unexpected car problems occur while you're on the road, it's extremely upsetting when you realize you could have made advance preparations to keep it from happening. To increase your chances of having a trouble-free journey, keep reading for some helpful suggestions.

Initially, you should verify that your car is operating properly and doesn't require any general maintenance. In case your vehicle needs a service make sure that you arrange this in plenty of time. Should you delay too late to get things done, you may have some travel delays if a problem is found. It is also important to have what you may need if you encounter car trouble along the way. For example, will you remember to check the air pressure in your spare tire when you check the four tires currently on your vehicle? It needs to be correctly inflated so you could drive on it if something happens to one of the other tires.

If something transpires with your car along the way, you should have the resources you'd need to work on it and know how to use them. For example, do you know how to change a wheel on your current vehicle and will you have a handbook with you to refer to. Clearly, several other automotive problems may occur that will be beyond your ability to fix. As you are developing your plans, think about how you can get help if you should need it. This might imply having specifics of any roadside assistance contact numbers with you or to know the whereabouts of service areas or companies that could tow your car if needs be.

When you are enjoying a family trip, you should definitely be prepared for unexpected interruptions. If your children are small, it is essential to have activities available for them as well as something to eat and drink. Be sure to carry anything you might need including a first aid kit to deal with any minor medical issues that may come up. If you are traveling in cold temperatures, you should have extras such as blankets and a flask to keep you warm if you get stuck.

In the majority of cases, any long journeys you undertake will be trouble free but there is always that one trip that goes wrong and if you plan ahead, you can be ready for this when it happens.
