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

Activities and More at Mississippi Craft Shows

By Rick Amorey

Mississippi is known for being a place interested in literature and music. The famous Mark Twain novels, Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, were set along the Mississippi River, as a famous example. Mississippi has also embraced other forms of art, and the strong religious traditions of the people have inspired amazing works of art which have been shown all over the world. The blues, of course, is a form of music that has been historically attributed to the Delta river musicians.

But of course, the State of Mississippi caters to arts and crafts as well, and not just to music and literature. If you're in the market for new and offbeat decorations for your home, then you've come to the right place. Mississippi is home to the Mississippi Crafts Center, which might be a good place to start looking. But if you're mood demands a bit more exciting, then fairs and festivals are just the thing for you.

On the other hand, you may just want to immerse yourself in the culture and arts that is available in Mississippi. You can also do this when you go attend the fairs and festivals. When you're there, you can search around for interesting things, and all the while your other senses will be treated to music and the general sound of merriment. It's an experience definitely worth your while, and you're sure to find something of interest while you're there.

On the off-chance, perhaps you're an artist yourself? And looking around at all the wonderfully crafted items have wet your interest in making a few pieces of your own? Well, why not? Religious art from Mississippi have strongly influenced outsiders to create works based on them, and have had them shown all over the world. It's worth a try

Whether you're just looking, hunting for particular items, or feel the desire to show off a talent or two, it's really very simple to take part in these fairs and festivals. If you're just looking and hunting, a simple search online will yield the info you need. If you want to show your work, then contacting the event organizers will be your next step. But whatever you may want to do, you'll be sure to have a blast at Mississippi fairs.
