I recall that after church the previous day, my host and the family made a trip to Makro in Charlton where they shopped like it was the last day before Christ’s coming. Little did I know that they were buying items they would give out as Christmas gifts. Everywhere we visited, turkey was an issue and plenty of gifts were exchanged. It was no doubt Toys n ‘R’ Us’s season, e.g. my host’s son was simply overwhelmed with toy-gifts. We also did last minute meat shopping at Woolwich so as to give ourselves a treat at home too. by Emma Snow

As legend has it, in Germany parents decorate their Tannenbaums on Christmas Eve. The last ornament hung is die Weinachtsgurke—a delicate glass ornament in the shape of a pickle. This is a significant ornament, for the next morning the children will rush in to open their gifts from St. Nicholas. But the festivities can not begin until one of the children locates the elusive gherkin. by Emma Snow

Before the grand Tannenbaum, there was the Weinachts pyramide, or lightstock. This holiday tradition can be traced to Dresden, the largest city in the Erzibirge region of Germany, where in 1168 AD silver and tin were discovered. Hundreds of miners flocked to the Ore Mountains to make their fortunes. by Emma Snow

Every year families are confronted with the dilemma of whether to buy a live Christmas tree, or to invest in an artificial one. For some, the annual quest for “Thee Perfect Tree” is tradition, an important ritual to usher in the season, and to disregard this ceremony would be tantamount to boycotting Santa Claus. Others appreciate the convenience of a well-formed (albeit man-made) tree waiting in storage for them year to year. While it ultimately comes down to personal taste, there are some definite pros and cons one might want to consider before weighing in on the matter.

I first heard this idea at a teacher’s convention, and have been making Q-tip snowflakes with my elementary classes for years. The activity was so enjoyable that we do it at home too, and hang the intricate snowflakes from the ceiling using fishing line. The result is incredible—transforming hallways, windows, and entries into a winter wonderland. by Emma Snow

There are many occasions and situations where a unique or special gift is preferred over the conventional gift. With your unique gift, you enjoy the benefit of being able to express your love for the recipient. You can show that you consider the recipient to be someone special and unique in your life, and thus deserves a unique gift.

The school holidays are finally here and that means: quality time to spend with your kids. Relaxing time hopefully, at the beach or in the park.
How about camping where the evergreens reach for the skies, and where occasionally you can see a wild deer nibbling away on the sparse grass that grows in the few places where the sun touches the ground.
What about something more exciting like clinging onto a yellow inflatable raft as you are tossed and drenched while the wild foaming river speeds you uncontrollable down the canyon.
What about something more relaxing like, your fishing rod jerks you awake as something enormous races away with the bait. by Richard Henderson
