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

Wait! Don't Buy A New Home When You Can Improve Your Existing Home For Less

By John Ritchie


It is important to realize that your home has a profound influence on your mood and outlook on life, every single day. Most of your time is at your home. You will be happier once you make your home a place where you can express your feelings with decoration. This article shares some valuable tips on turning your home into a peaceful and serene retreat from the bustles of daily life.

Consider how comfortable your home is. Even though your home may contain minor flaws, a major defect can cause long-term dissatisfaction. You should fix any things you don't like about your home. If you have something that is outdated, get rid of it and replace it with something more current. You can easily replace shelving in your home to look the way you want it to. If you are tired of bumping into that rectangular coffee table, try replacing it with a smooth table, either round or oval.

It is wise to make your space larger. In some cases, you simply run out of space, and reorganizing just puts the same clutter in a different place. That's when you need to consider expanding. Even the addition of a bit more space can make the room or area feel less cluttered and confining.

If your home seems boring, try adding some areas for recreation. As an example, add a game room that has a billiards table or other fun community games. Another choice is to add a hot tub or a swimming pool, as they add real value to your home. Even little things, such as a badminton net, can make your home a fun place to be.

It is quite surprising the change that new lighting can have on a room in your home. Good lighting will enhance the details of your home and brighten the rooms again. You will feel happier and more relaxed as the shadows disappear. New light fixtures are not too difficult to install, even if you aren't an experienced electrician. Upgrading the lighting in your home is a simple cosmetic fix, which can make a big impact.

Try your hand at gardening. By growing a garden, this will give you a place to go and relax. Even if you do not do the gardening yourself, you will still be happy looking at it. High quality plants have so many uses, from veggies in your salad to potpourri in your home.

Focus on the outside of your home. Replace brittle roof shingles, install a bay window or get that new siding you have been wanting. Whenever you turn in to your driveway, you will be proud of your home and eager to get inside and enjoy the comfort and pleasure it affords.

Since you spend so much time in your home, doesn't it make sense that it should make you feel happy? As a result, home improvement projects should be viewed as an investment in your own health and happiness.
