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

Spring & Garden Wedding Favors for Your Special Day

By Aaron H.

Spring has always been one of the most popular seasons for couples to get married because this is the season when new life begins following the cold and empty winter. Plants start shooting up new sprouts and many different animals bring forth their new babies more than any other season of the year. Getting married has many symbolic ties to beginning new life as couples begin a new life together instead of as individuals apart.

After the stark black and white reality of winter, spring is a season that is full of color. Decorations that brides and grooms choose for their location to solemnize their marriage are also colorful and full of cheer. Spring and garden wedding favors are also colorful and cheerful. Flowers and growing things often figure heavily into the thematic elements of these seasonal items. Sometimes, couples even give out packets of seeds that will grow into flowering plants in the flower gardens of their guests, a definite ode to the beginning of life.

Shopping for spring and garden wedding favors can be a very enjoyable experience when couples take this responsibility on together. They can take a much needed break from dealing with many of the more difficult and time consuming facets of planning the event and can even find new ideas that they might wish to incorporate into other aspects of decorating along the way.

In order to find the greatest variety of spring and garden wedding favors, couples should focus most of their energies into shopping online. Online stores generally have a much wider selection and lower prices than local bridal shops because of the differences in display space that can be allotted and the degree of competition for business that drives the market.

While some would say that favors are not a requirement, they have gained the standard and support of tradition so that people expect to see them and receive them when they attend a wedding. The traditional purpose of these items is to give them out as "Thank you" gifts for the guests as a way of displaying gratitude for the time they have taken from their own schedules to come out and make this special day turn out as nearly perfect as possible for the new couple. They convey this message more forcefully than sending out a "Thank you" card after the fact can accomplish.

Another reason to include these items is they allow the guests to take a keepsake back home with them to act as a reminder of the happiness shared with the bride and groom on this special day. Spring & Garden wedding favors are mostly bright and cheerful so the recipients will proudly display them in their homes and will be reminded of this special event every time they are seen.
