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

It Is A Snap Using Zip Laces

By Carmella Rolls


The creation of the zip laces is not the original when it comes to improving what was considered a standard. As late as the 1800s if a person had to visit the rest room they would exit from the house, walk across the field, and go into an outhouse. Now this trip is generally taken within the living quarters with only negligible steps being taken.

While making those trips to the outhouse it is likely that many just accepted it as being normal. Gratefully someone thought there had to be a better way, and acted on it. Someone thought of a better approach to lacing shoes. Acting on this game changing idea brought forth the zip lacing.

Tying shoes has been a tedious process since it was created. The procedure is filled with ways to do it wrong. The process is a hybrid physics and engineering operation. It is so complex for a daily task that it could be added to college entrance tests along with math, verbal, and writing sections. The invention of velcro closures sought to help the process. It limited the ability to get shoes tight. Many would rather not have shoes that feel loose on their feet.

One of the biggest opportunities with a standard shoe lace is that it can slowly work loose if not tied properly. Coming loose creates safety issues. An elderly person can trip over a loose shoe lace. Trips and falls are large contributors to injuries every year. These can help to reduce this risk.

Loose strings could also impede a runners progress. When a person runs and the laces come untied there is a decision that has to be made. Either the runner stops to tie the shoes or keeps running and hopes that the laces will not cause them to trip.

These unique shoe laces resemble a shoe string but with a zipper look. When the zipper is laced through the eyelets they are then inserted through a pull which looks like a zipper head. This can be used to get the lace comfortably snug.

Zip laces are a significant shoe fashion statement. Their necessity increases daily. They are created in different colors allowing for maximum coordination with shoes and outfits. They are for more than zip up sneakers. They have the flexibility to be worn with both casual and dress shoes. Some people may view them as odd. But this is the case for most new ideas, even indoor bathrooms. The only requirement for wearing these is to have fun.
