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

The Significance Of Historic Carpet Patterns

By Jose Graham


Human beings have been around for centuries. In those centuries, people have made things that are quite useful and very interesting at the same time. Most of things that is made is because there is a need for it. One such thing is the clothes that many people wear today. There were many variations of it today but how it started is pretty cool.

During the historic times of humanity, people have been making clothes that are from the pelts and furs of other animals. This is done by hunting down an animal and using the skin and fur it has as materials and sewing them together. This was done due to the fact that the winters were harsh. This practice made historic carpet patterns in a few centuries after.

At the start of it all, the clothing that man had was just for the protection and other benefits that it provided, but it changed as the they became smarter. Looking at its history, the first kind of clothes that people used were made out of animal fur and other parts of it. The way it is made changed as well over the years.

Soon, humans developed something called culture. This is the aspect that makes all nations unique from each other as it has been developed in different ways altogether. With the differences in cultures, came with the different types of materials that are made for wearing and decorating a home outright.

The mediaeval culture was something interesting in particular. Several nobles and aristocrats invested in getting the best luxury items that they could get. One of these things is the colour clothes that are brought to them by merchants that travel around. Among these items was that has been prominent until today.

One of these objects that the nobles of the middle ages considered to be luxurious is the carpet. The carpet has been around for nearly a thousand years already as the first kind was noted to be made in the B. C. Era. There are many reason as to why is so coveted and wanted by the people of the past and the present as well.

The carpet is an object that is used to decorate the floor. In the past, it was used for this purpose and the people who weave it together would usually from a pattern when it was made. These patterns were made with the intention of impressing the person who wanted to visit a place of someone that had the status to have one.

The east and middle east were very well known for the beautiful designs that were brought over by the merchants. These merchants often travelled to Asia via a trade route to look for things that could be bought or traded for and bring them back to Europe. This practice introduced the Asian culture early on.

In the modern world of today, the carpet is still a very luxurious and highly valued item. In fact, most upper class to upper middle class homes have it as a staple of home decoration. The expensive ones are still bought by the rich people who can afford the more exotic and rare stuff.
