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

The Things To Include In A Care Package For College Student

By Cherry Mercer


It is very common for parents to worry about their children especially when they are already out to find their place. They want to see to it that they are given the chance to also do the things that they like so they let them go. However, the parental instincts would still be there. For most parents, their duties never end. They care so much for their kids that they send a care package for college student as often as it is possible.

Most parents know that life away from home is difficult. Their children would need all the help they could get especially if they focus on their studies. As much as they can, they want to also give these kids a chance to worry less about other things and settle on studying well.

Most parents would actually wish that they can just wrap the whole house and send it over. However, they know that this is not possible so they just decide to give some things that would be very useful. Most of these things are essentials that these kids often just forget to buy for themselves.

One thing that parents should not forget to send is a pack of goodies. The food items would be a great help especially that these kids could not watch over their diet anymore. It is very important for them to pack some things that their kids would love to eat especially during nights of studying. They should load up on healthy things and include some chips which they would also love.

It counts to give them toiletries that they will be able to use for a long time. There are kids who are very particular with the brands that they are using. It would be nice if they are given those brands that they like. It will save them much money as well.

It would be good to give them some fun stuff too. There should be at least a few things that they can use to while the time and forget about the stresses of school. Books to read, movies to watch and many other things of their interest should make it inside the box.

A lot of parents never fail to send cash as well. The money is very important for students since there are expenses that they may not have anticipated. The least they could do is to let the money issues affect the studies of kids so parents should be there to help them.

Vouchers and gift cards to restaurants, grocery stores and shops can also help a lot. It would be a great perk for students to also have some time to shop or to enjoy a great meal. They would very rarely do it so their parents could somehow give them a treat especially if they have good grades.

It would be good to include notes in a care package for college student that will encourage them to do better. Siblings can give some cards or letters too. Pictures of people and pets that they love and miss would also be a good addition. It matters that they are given the chance to catch up on them even if they are living far away and are struggling with school. The words of encouragement would help them jump hurdles as academic pressure sets in.
