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

Great Gifts For College Students

By Elba Fenwick


While going away can be a lot of fun and a chance to gain some independence, college students need a little something to lift their spirits and cure any bouts of homesickness. If the student in your life needs a little TLC, here are a few gift suggestions they are sure to enjoy.

If there is one common complaint universal to all those living on a college campus, it would be that the food is not exactly gourmet cuisine. Treating your favorite student to something delicious will definitely be highly welcome, and a great gift to consider is gourmet chocolate pizza from The Chocolate Pizza Company. The pizza crust is not cocoa-dusted pizza dough, but a mix of real, gourmet milk chocolate or dark chocolate mixed with rich English toffee. From there, pizza toppings such as nuts, marshmallows or M&Ms are added, and then the whole confection receives a quick splash of white chocolate before being cleverly packaged in a genuine pizza box.

The owners of the Chocolate Pizza Company also have created a special gift designed just for collegians. This package, the "College Survival Kit," contains everything need to lift the spirit of your favorite college student. In addition to a slice of milk chocolate pizza and a miniature dark chocolate pizza, the box also contains peanut butter wings and several other goods. The wings are actually gourmet, locally made potato chips blended with the finest creamy peanut butter. Finally the mix is dipped in either dark or milk chocolate.

On a food-related note, you can also send a gift for the dorm room, such as a coffee maker or an electric tea kettle. The kettle can be used to make tea, instant coffee and cereal, cocoa and soups. Other options might include a mini fridge or perhaps a microwave. You could also send along a care package with teas, coffees and other shelf-stable snacks.

Practical gifts are a great idea for new college students, and one option is to give the gift of laundry supplies. It might not seem like a bunch of fun, but doing laundry is a reality for college students. So fill up a basket with all the necessary laundry supplies and don't forget to add a few rolls of quarters.

Electronic gear is often a great idea for students. This can include anything from a great carrying case for their laptop or tablet to noise-canceling headphones which can make it easier to study, to listen to music or watch movies without bothering a roommate. Another option is an alarm clock that doubles as an MP3 or phone charger and speaker.
