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

Practical and Stylish Handbags for School

By Jay Daniels

Backpacks are usually the norm as schoolbags. They are usually large enough to put in books and other necessities for school. Backpacks are also easy to carry around. They can make a hunchback out of you though when it gets very bulky. Fortunately for girls, they have handbags to turn to.

Using one as a schoolbag can be both practical and fashionable. Of course, its practicality depends on the handbags design, size and the material it is made of.

Handbags that are sealed by zippers are good to use because you can be sure that the small items such as keys, pens, pencils, rulers and the like are kept securely inside. Drawstrings can also be great, as long as the things you keep in it are larger school materials such as books and binders. Smaller objects can easily fall through if a drawstring handbag is not properly positioned as you set it down. The same goes with handbags with clasps. Although if they have inner pockets with zippers, then your problem is solved.

A handbag is ideal as a school bag if 3 textbooks can fit inside it. This means that there is sufficient space for other school necessities. But this will also depend on the number of things you need to bring along. Obviously a small purse-like handbag will only hold a few things such as a cell phone and wallet. A very large handbag roughly the size of a small sack is also hardly practical. Not only will it be more of a burden it will also make you look foolish.

Style should come hand in hand with quality. Leather handbags fit this description nicely because they are durable and sophisticated. Lately, transparent plastic handbags are setting a trend. They are in fact suitable as schoolbags too, as long as they have well sewn seams and the quality of the plastic is good. A more usual material for handbags is denim. Since they are usually in blue, black and white they are very casual and considered acceptable in a school setting. Handbags made from cotton can also be used as schoolbags, but if they get wet then the things inside most certainly will be as well so great care must be taken when using them.

What is important to remember in selecting a handbag for school is that practicality should equal your fashion requirement. Do not just choose a handbag for its color and design. Think about the things that you will have to put in your bag and if it will be sturdy enough to hold all of them.

It will be very embarrassing if your bag suddenly breaks at the seams and spills all your things at the middle of the school grounds. You will definitely be in the limelight, but not in a graceful manner. That's why it is very important to choose handbags which are not only stylish but also sturdy.
