How To Make Christmas 2015 Your Most Magical Yet

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With just over a month to go until the big day arrives, it’s time to kick your preparations into top gear. Start making the plans today, and there’s no reason to think this won’t be the best Christmas ever.


Whether you dedicate your life to religion or not is unimportant. We all want to enjoy the festivities, and here’s everything you need to know.

Decorations
Christmas isn’t just about December 25th; it’s about the entire build-up. There’s no better way to get the excitement bubbling than by transforming your home into a personal Winter Wonderland.

This doesn’t necessarily have to cost an arm and a leg. Decorating the tree can be a great activity to enjoy with the kids too. Moreover, you could make your own crafts to add extra personality to the fun.

Another nice option is to invest in a nativity scene sculpture. Come December 25th, your children can place the baby Jesus in his manger to celebrate the tradition.

Presents
Material items aren’t the most important thing about the festivities. However, it’s one area that causes more frustration than any other. We all appreciate the joy of seeing someone we love smile as they unopen the present. And that’s exactly the situation we’re hoping for.

It’s especially true when buying for our little ones. These gift ideas for boys 10 to 12 years old should help you source the perfect present. Seeing their faces beam will put an even bigger smile on your face.

One of the most important things to remember is that price and value are two different things. Happiness is something that money can’t buy. If you can achieve this with a thoughtful present, nobody could ask for anything more.


The Dinner
The roast dinner is the king of dinners. Quite frankly, the Christmas dinner is the king of roast dinners. It’s not just one of the tastiest meals of the entire year; it’s one that carries more family significance than any other.

It’s an iconic moment of the day. This is what Christmas is all about. Great company, great food and the silliness of cracker jokes and other fun activities. Compliment it with a great wine, and you’ll be set to have the perfect dinner.

For many, this is the section of the day that will define the success of Christmas 2015. Get it right, and you’ll be set for the perfect day.

Don’t Forget The True Story
A great Christmas is built on family traditions. But it’s equally important to remember the story of Christmas and why we celebrate December 25th in the first place.

Taking some time to appreciate the birth of Jesus will brighten up your day. Meanwhile, you can encourage the kids to get involved with books from Zondervan. With a 30% discount currently running, you have no excuses.

The influence of religion can help us lead better lives all year round. But it’s particularly important at these times of celebration. Do not forget it.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video:   "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review:  Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.  I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
