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

Guide To Tying An Urban Turban Neatly

By Claudine MacDonald


Clothing is among the basic human needs that have to be satisfied by any means necessary. However, the garments that people wear are influenced by various factors. The society has expectations that individuals are expected to meet with the way they dress. Traditionally, religion governed the norms and practices of various societies around the world. Some of these religions such as Hindu and Islam required individuals to wear headdresses on various occasions. This is where the urban turban originated from. It has become a trend in modern fashion being taken up by many people worldwide.

These items of clothing are just plain sheets of cloth that are folded systematically into the designs that people wear. As expected, you have a wide variety of designs that you could use to fold the material on the head. These enhance uniqueness, which is an important aspect of any trend in the fashion industry.

The cloth could be made of any material such as cotton, nylon or other fibers. Take the cloth and put it on top of your head. Leave an allowance of about eight inches below hanging on the neck. The cloth is quite long and therefore you should have a substantial length of cloth on your face.

To start wrapping the garment, secure it on top of your head with one palm of your hand. With your free hand, reach out and pull the front of the garment and pull it over the right side of your head. The cloth should be tight so that it makes a full circle around your head.

As you already know, the headgear comes with a slight tilt to the right and back. Traditional religious groups who introduced the garment preferred this look. You should have a mental image of what you want to achieve with the garment and try as much as possible to stick to the traditional practices. It is good to be before a mirror so that you can monitor your progress and achievement of the desired results. Very few people can master the art of tying the headgear without having to look into a mirror.

It is important to remember that the garment needs to be in horizontal orientation. If not, the whole essence of wearing it is lost. Though some people may do this to stand out, it is not common. The final two feet should therefore be in horizontal orientation since they are the main determinants. The last part should be tucked in under the lower wraps.

Depending on the progress you make and what you were hopping to achieve with the wrapping, you can tilt the head gear as required. If you have seen others wearing the same garment, copy the appearance of theirs onto yours. It should look as traditional as possible.

It is possible for one to be unable to tie the urban turban appropriately especially when doing it for the first time. In such cases, he/she has to seek the assistance of friends and family to complete the job. However, the helper has to be experienced in doing these wraps.
