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

Fashionable Western Wear That Will Last For Years

By Rick Fonseca


Western wear is available from many different vendors. Some people prefer to shop on line. They can get some great deals and have a lot of choice. Others like to browse their local store and check out what is available. Which ever way they chose to shop it is important to look for a good quality brand.

The style that is now considered western is derived from the clothing worn by the cowboys of the old west. As the frontier made its way west, more and more land became available to settlers. Much of this land was consolidated into huge cattle ranches. Often the ranches covered literally thousands of acres in the southern and western states. The men who tended the cattle were a tough breed and needed some equally tough clothes.

There are many places to find good quality clothes. Many people shop at their local outlet store. They can choose from a huge range of products, with a variety of prices. Boots are one of the most important elements of a western inspired ensemble. Most are made of leather, although there are some easy to care for synthetic brands that are great for kids.

Belts and buckles are one of the most distinctive items of the cowboy wardrobe. A beautifully tooled leather belt is really essential. The belt buckles are usually made of silver and can be specially designed by a skilled craftsman. They add a wonderful aesthetic element to any outfit and are often handed down in a family from father to son.

Every member of the family can enjoy wearing a western inspired outfit. There are some great items especially for kids. Boots are made in synthetic materials to make them easy to care for. Shirts and pants are available in scaled down versions to match the parents. Hats are as well made as the adult versions and look great on a child.

Shirts are another essential component of the modern cowboy style. In the old days a shirt was probably made of wool or cotton. They needed to be hard wearing and practical. Shirts today are all about style. They are often made in bold colors with embroidery on the front yokes and fancy buttons.

Well made clothes are available for everyone in the family. Children especially love to wear cowboy hats and boots. Not only do they look adorable, but the clothing is very hard waring and can withstand rough play. Parents do not have to worry as the new items are often made from synthetic fabrics, making them very easy to clean.

From its origins as tough work clothes, western wear has developed into its own particular style. Many people love the look as it is reminiscent of a past era that seems so romantic. There is nothing like the image of a lone cowboy and his horse silhouetted against a vast sky. This bold look keeps the romance alive today.
