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

Choosing A Weekender Bag For Women

By Evelyn Walls


Sometimes, no matter how well you think you are handling life's little stresses, you need a timeout. Everyone needs to recharge their batteries sometimes, and a quick weekend trip out of town to Delaware or anywhere else, may be just what you need. If you only have a large, bulky suitcase and it is far too big for a weekend, then a weekender bag for women is right for you.

A weekender bag is smaller than most suitcases but larger than a purse or handbag. It has enough room to fit two or possibly three days worth of clothes, plus a small amount of toiletries. It is perfect for a quick two or three day weekend because it lets you pack everything you need in one small bag, so you are not lugging a suitcase that is way too big for one weekend. If you are traveling by plane, most are small enough to take as carryon luggage, so you do not have to wait at a luggage carousel for your bag when you arrive at your destination.

These very convenient carriers come in a very wide variety of materials, some of which allow you to use the bag for other reasons. For example, a lightweight canvas bag is not only great for a trip, but doubles as a beach bag, with plenty of room for a hat, sunscreen, bulky towels and other beachy necessities. A leather weekender can also be used a large purse or shopping tote, or even as a briefcase. Denim, faux leather, cotton and other materials may also be used.

In addition, there are many colors to choose from. From bright neons to muted neutrals, there is something for everybody. The designs can vary wildly as well. Some come in a single color with no additional colors, while others come with stripes, polka dots and other designs. Others come in bold, wild prints that really help you express your personality.

There are many designer bags available if you want a really luxurious look and feel. Of course, if you are more budget conscious, you can chose a more basic and affordable one. There is something for every budget range.

As for utility, good weekenders have plenty of that, especially when it comes to straps. Most come with two carry handles for taking your tote by hand. Many also come with a longer strap for slinging it over your shoulder. Still others come with a much longer crossbody strap that allows you to carry it across your body to help distribute the weight when walking.

Crushed shoes are no fun, so if this is an issue for you, try finding a weekender with a separate shoe bag or compartment, which can prevent that from a happening. If you carry small items like jewelry with you, perhaps a tote with a pocket or two would help keep it separate from the clothes.

Enjoy your trip without having to use an oversized bag by purchasing a weekender. It it will fit nicely in a corner of your closet or even under your bed when not in use, then unfold to give you space for everything you need for that last minute, super quick trip out of town.
