When you think of your outdoor Christmas decorations this year, there's simply no denying the sheer beauty of outdoor Christmas lights, which for many, have become a perennial tradition that's taken rather seriously. Outdoor illumination, as aficionados refer to their Christmas lights and decorations, is something that takes planning and knowhow along with a touch of decorating skills in order to have the most beautiful of displays.

Where to Put All of Those Beautiful Lights?

Usually the placement of Christmas lights is purely a matter of personal preference, that along with the type of home you live in and what you have to work with in terms of the surrounding landscaping. For some people, every single surface is fair game, from the awnings, windows and doors, to the shrubs to the walkways leading to the house, while others prefer a few, solitary strands here and there, perhaps around the front door or on a single bush or tree.

If your close neighbors seem interested in having their Christmas lights visible from outer space, perhaps you should take the high road and create a subtle, but extraordinary display that will look far better than the tackier designs others may enjoy. Consider using all one color so as not to clash with the holiday kaleidoscope surrounding you, or lighting up just the front windows and door instead of the entire porch area.

Or, if you'd like to be as festive as possible and light up the night, here are a few ideas as to where to put your outdoor Christmas lights this year:

- Bushes: Bushes and shrubs are just perfect for Christmas lights of all types, including the older, larger bulb style as well as the newer, mesh kind that drapes across the object like a net and includes many lights on one set, and are also incredibly easy to put on and off.

- Free forms: Use your imagination, a few pieces of wood, a staple gun and you have the potential for creating any number of holiday related free forms out of your Christmas lights. Make your own spiral tree or buy any one of the many premade shapes, designs, and signs that are available today.

- Gutters: Rain gutters are great for attaching Christmas lights with clip-on hooks, especially if you have the type of lights that resemble icicles that hand downward. Using the clips, the lights are rather easy to put up and take down after the holidays and you'll be illuminating the entire front of the house depending on where your gutters are located.

- Trees: If you're lucky enough to have trees surrounding your home, use plenty of sets, winding the strands around the branches, even the trunks using clear or multicolored Christmas lights.

- Windows and doors: String lights around the front windows and door, inside or out, either by framing the window or creating a swag of lights at the top. Avoid putting lights all over the whole window as not only will this make it difficult to see out, but it will light up the entire room behind the window as well.

Having a fabulous Christmas party and inviting all of your family to share the holidays with you can be a lot of fun but planning such a great party might be a pretty difficult task. Before you start mailing the personalized Christmas invitations or printed Christmas Party Invitations, you may want to start thinking about some specific elements of your holiday get together.

When to Hold the Celebration

If you're sending out Christmas holiday invitation, you might assume the event should take place on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. However, that's probably not the best idea. Remember those days should be reserved for the individual families to spend time with their kids and for opening presents and for relaxing after all of that crazy Xmas shopping.

Instead, choose a nice weekend a week or two before the holidays. If you want to start a tradition, it's a good idea to pick a day that could be repeated every years so people will just begin to expect the Christmas invites to arrive and will already have planned on attending. For now, however, you'll want to send out those Christmas holiday invitations about three weeks before the event in order to give people enough time to rearrange their schedules. A good rule of thumb is to have the holiday invitations ready to hit the mailbox on the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Where to Hold the Xmas Celebrations

Choosing a location depends on several important factors:

a. How many people are going to be attending
b. What type of food are you going to be serving
c. How much stress are you willing to endure

Ideally, the online Christmas party invitations will list your home as the location for the celebration. Of course, that may not always be possible. If you simply don't have the capacity to hold the entire guest list and you don't want to shorten that list, then you might want to find another venue to put on your Xmas cards. That's also a good idea if you don't want to get stuck with all of the cooking or if you're trying to keep the event as stress-free as possible for yourself.

Other excellent venues include party rooms at restaurants, party halls at hotels and other event centers, public parks (if you live in places where the weather is nice all year long), or even local sporting areas. Some churches, banquet halls and apartment complexes may also have areas available for rent that would work well. If you do have to foot the bill for renting a place and for catering a meal, you might want to charge a small fee per person. If you do, make sure to list this on the printed Christmas invitations along with an explanation of why you've chosen to do this. Keep in mind you probably won't end up with as many guests if you do.

Final Thoughts

When you send out those exclusive Christmas invitations, make sure you're ready for the event. Be prepared to decorate for the holidays and to be in great spirits as you celebrate with those who are closest to you.

Hot Flapper Adult Halloween Costume Size Small 4-6 (B448)

Hot Flapper Adult Halloween Costume includes: Dress and headpiece.

Halloween will be here before you know it so if you haven't started thinking about costumes, you should. If you have children like myself they will need costumes to dress up for school and other area events

Why? Because it's fun. Kids love dressing up in costumes and having a reason to celebrate. Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays of the year as it offers all ages the opportunity to play the child, whether by donning costumes or eating the candy meant for trick-or-treaters. A fun way to celebrate the holiday is by hosting a Halloween party.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of kill joys out in the world. Therefore, you need to research area events and plan a schedule so that your children can celebrate Halloween safely.

Step 1

look for area Halloween celebrations that are safe and fun for children. Look in the newspaper, some are published on the internet. Look in your weekly free community ad paper, notices sent home by schools, and community calendars on radio website. Check with area churches to see what they are planning for Halloween.

Step 2

Decide on a schedule of activities for the week before Halloween. Many events begin a few weeks before Halloween such as haunted houses, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, hay rides, Zoo Boo, and apple picking complete with homemade apple cider. Some of these even reinforce science class information and help the children learn.

Step 3

Carve pumpkins with your children several days before Halloween. If your children are very young, let them draw the face and you cut it out. Then let them help scoop all the goo and seeds out. Don't forget to save the seeds and bake them in the oven to munch on later.

Step 4

Take your kids trick or treating. Halloween can be a very fun holiday for children. Taking them out to get candy is one of the best ways to celebrate Halloween with your children. Be careful though. Check the candy that they are given to make sure that it is safe. Most of all, be safe. Halloween is a holiday of tricks. There are many people that will be out trying to ruin the holiday for some people. Go out in groups so that you are not walking alone.

A few years back if you were invited to a Halloween party it filled you with dread. The thought of having to find a fancy dress shop and then the pressure of having to try and find a suitable costume from their selection or risk driving another 25 miles to find the next store. So you have to decide between taking a costume from those you can see or risking all on the grass being greener elsewhere. Your weekend is gone before you know it.

And the day the party after wasn't much better feeling worse for wear from the night before and having to traipse back to the shop to return the costume. The wait in queue and then hoping that they wouldn't spot the glowing red wine stain that appears to be shouting 'look at me; look at me' incessantly as the assistant is checking it back in. Recognise the scenario?

Nowadays however, the situation has changed dramatically and all for the good. There are masses of costumes available at prices where buying your own is an affordable option. And the whole galaxy of character costumes is available from an ever increasing array of shops and internet sites.

Now there will always remain a faithful few who actually enjoy rummaging through the racks of a fancy dress shop to see what is still available. And long may they remain. Diversity is a good thing and without customers in the high street, our towns, cities and shopping malls would become duller and less interesting places.

Let's look at what the growth of internet shopping means to you when searching for the right fancy dress. The internet is quick and the internet is global. You can hop from site to site comparing ranges and prices. You can buy the costume from one site and the perfect accessories from another - remember it's the accessories that complete any costume.

Internet has no parking fees. From the comfort of your own home, you can undertake a fun journey to find the perfect costume for you or your partner. And it's all delivered direct to your door. Worried about the costume not fitting? Make sure you're using a reputable site as most now offer full money back no quibble guarantees.

Manufacturers have been quick to spot the growth in internet retailing of fancy dress and they have launched some fantastic ranges of costumes and accessories specifically for delivery through the postal system. They've also not been slow in recognising that customers are now becoming (rightfully) more selective and more demanding in both design and quality. Their traditional ranges for the staple markets at Halloween and Christmas have undergone radical change and now there are ranges of Halloween jewellery as well as makeup, weapons, shoes, boots, tights and stockings. Coordinating ranges of fancy dress costume accessories are available for most if not all costume themes.

All of the manufacturers have also been quick to identify that the anonymity offered by internet purchasing broadens the market for couples who want to consider purchasing sexy costumes for role play or fantasy wear. Buying a sexy costume can be nerve wrecking but the availability of good internet based retail outlets can relieve you of any lingering embarrassment.

And, sexy doesn't always have to mean tacky. Costume house designers have created some extremely elegant and sexy fancy dress costumes and more and more manufacturers are creating costumes to emphasis femininity and sexuality rather than slavishly seeking male only appeal through the lowest common denominator.

So take a little free time, fix yourselve a drink, power-up your computer log into your favourite fancy dress internet retailer's site and let's go shopping.

On Halloween, children of all ages don their carefully chosen costumes of ghosts, super heroes, monsters, and everything in between, and head out at sunset to roam the streets, going door to door asking neighbors for candy and other yummy treats. In the beginning, though, Halloween was more than just a fun time for children. Halloween is a very old holiday, dating back to pagan traditions.

Celtic Tradition

Its origins date back to a Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween or Sow-in). The Celts celebrated the beginning of the new year on November 1st. On the last evening of the year, October 31, they believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to the earth. These ghosts roamed the world, causing damage to crops and performing other mischief, as they searched for living bodies to possess.

Not surprisingly, the living were not keen to have their bodies inhabited by these ghosts, so on that night, they would dress in scary costumes, and parade the town, hoping to frighten the spirits away, and make it to the morning unscathed.

After the Celtics lands were taken by the Romans, Samhain was absorbed with two Roman holidays. Feralia was a day in October to commemorate the passing of the dead. Pomona was a day to celebrate the goddess of fruit and trees. (The symbol of Pomona was an apple, which may explain the adoption of the Halloween tradition of bobbing for apples.)

All Saints and All Souls

In the 7th century, in an attempt to replace substitute Samhain with a Christian holy day, the Catholic Church named November 1 as All Saint's Day, a day to honor saints and martyrs. The church tried again in the 9th century, making November 2 All Souls Day, a day when the living prayed for the souls of the dead. Neither attempt was very successful. Trick-or-treating is said to have developed from the All Souls Day custom of people going village to village begging for "soul cakes" bread made with currants. The more cakes they received, the more prayers they would offer on behalf of the givers dead relatives who were in purgatory. However, some sources say that this tradition had all but disappeared long before the North American tradition of trick-or-treating began.

By the 1500s, All Saint's Day had become All Hallows' Day, and Samhain had begun to be known as All Hallows' Evening, Hallow Evening, and eventually, Halloween. After the Reformation, Halloween celebrations were combined with Guy Fawkes' Day (November 5).

Halloween in North America

In the New World, Halloween was not celebrated. In fact, because of the Puritan tradition, all celebrations were considered immoral and even Christmas was scarcely observed before the 1800s.

Halloween was not a popular festival, but it did increase in popularity with the arrival of two million Irish immigrants fleeing the potato famine. Nonetheless, by the end of the Civil War, in 1865, less than 5% of the United States population (mostly the Catholics and Episcopalians) celebrated Halloween and All Saints' Day. Determined to continue these traditions, the churches started campaigns to popularize the celebration. There is little documentation, however on Halloween prior to the 1900s.

IN 1921, Anoka, Minnesota had the first official citywide Halloween celebration. In 1923, New York joined in and LA in 1925. It was not long before Halloween was a nationwide celebration.

The internet has opened up many opportunities to have information transferred around the world. One of the more recent developments on the internet has been the proliferation of how to websites trying to sell their programs online. This article will focus on this and particularly on learning how to play guitar sites.

I think the most important part of any guitar learning system is that it is systematic. An online guitar course should be able to replace a teacher and for this reason it needs to put in place a systematic learning program so you can become a complete player.

What to Look for in an Online Guitar Course

There are many ways you can go about learning the guitar. You could try and learn the songs of your favorite band go to a guitar teacher or go online and find an online course. I personally think just going out and learning songs is not the best way to go. The reason for this is that you will not learn systematically. Also you will only learn the techniques used in one genre of music. This can lead to you having a narrow set of skills.

Teaching all the important chords is a very important thing for any guitarist to learn. Chords form the basis of nearly all guitar music. For the beginner learning chords is a critical part of developing a comprehensive skill base. Chords are also relatively easy to learn and for this reason you can build up a reasonable repertoire without to much difficultly. Like I said chords are the building bocks for not only most guitar music, but even non-guitar music is usually based around chords.

So when you are shopping around for an online course take some time to think about the factors that I have briefly gone over here. Also dont forget you are individual and you should look for something that will also suit you as an individual.

Focusing on rhythm is critical because all instruments use rhythm. If you can develop a good sense of rhythm your playing will become more developed. Any course that develops your rhythm is valuable. Rhythm can be difficult to learn so it can be hard to find a course that clearly teaches rhythm. Rhythm is often overlooked when purchasing a lesson course. For this reason I would recommend you look into the way rhythm is taught on any course you are interested in.
Honestly I dont think you need a course that has a lot of songs. You can go to www.harmonycentral.com and you will be able to nearly any well known song on guitar. For this reason it is not necessary to find a course that provides a lot of different Tabs.

Ben Edwards has been playing the guitar for more than 12 years. He has been involved in the music industry for 6 years. He has worked as a session musician recording in some of the worlds best recording studios. Ben has also written and co-producing two full length studio albums, and he has toured internationally and shared the stage with many top international acts.

So if you are going to purchase an online lessons program what should you look for? Like I said there are a lot of good products out there, but there are also some duds. For this reason I will give you some things to look for when deciding what to buy when you are in the market for an online learning product.

I think going to a guitar teacher is a good idea as it is good to have someone who can lead you though the process to become a good guitarist. However constant practice with a teacher can be expensive. For this reason many people are moving towards buying online guitar teaching packages. I personally thing going this route is the way to go. These days there are many affordable and comprehensive packages available online.

• Bake Some Cookies- Baking some cookies for your guests is a great and tasty option for your guests. You could put them in a pretty bag and put some ribbons around them. This can be an extremely cheap option that will make your guests happy. You could bake a variety of flavors such as chocolate chip cookies.
• Paint/ decorate some picture frames- Another option for your do-it-yourself Christmas favors would be to get some cheap picture frames and decorate them yourself in a way that is personalized for all of your guests. For example, you could make floral frames for your female guests and sports-themed frames for your male guests.
• Make a floral arrangement- Another option to consider if you want to make your own Christmas favors is to give your guests floral arrangements. You could buy some cheap flowers and then arrange them in boxes and with ribbons for each of your guests. These types of favors would look great and smell great.

Do-it yourself Christmas favors could be a great option to help save you money if things are tight. However, if you do not have enough time to make your own gifts, you could get online and purchase Christmas favors from an online store. Because an online store has less overhead costs than a bricks and mortar store, they can offer much cheaper costs for your favors.

If you want to give your guests christmas favors, but time is limited, check out the ready made christmas favors available at Favors-n-Gifts.

Mother's Day has come and gone! I made sure it was a special day for my dearest, even though I couldn't take her to the resort she likes this year. The kids came to visit too, so it was a wonderful day for us all. To celebrate this special holiday for mothers everywhere, I've compiled these little tidbits about this special occasion!

1. There are at least 30 dates for Mother's Day! The one we Americans know is on the second Sunday of May (May 11 this year), which is also the most common date it's celebrated. March 8 is the next most common, which is mostly celebrated in some parts of Asia and Europe. British and Irish people celebrate Mothering Sunday on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is March 2 this year. Indonesia has theirs on December 22! If you forget the date there, at least you can claim your Christmas present is also for Mother's Day!

2. Mongolia celebrates Mother's Day twice! March 8 marks International Women's Day in this country, which is treated like Mother's Day. June 1 sees Mothers and Children's Day, which is also celebrated! It's the only country which celebrates this occasion twice. The moms there must be quite happy with all the attention!

3. Anna Marie Jarvis is the woman responsible for Mother's Day in America. When her mother died on May 9, 1905, she devoted her time to making Mother's Day a holiday for mothers everywhere. Her mother was an advocate of the holiday, joining campaigns for peace, worker's safety and health, ever since the Civil War ended. It was first celebrated in 1907, with only a few people. In 1908, it was 407 children and their mothers. The holiday became official in 1910, and a proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson came in 1914. By then it had finally turned into the holiday to appreciate mothers, not just for peace.

4. Mothering Sunday is deeply rooted in the church. It was originally a mass held in one's mother church on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Families gathered at such days, and mothers and children were often reunited for one day of the year. Later, it became the day that servants would be allowed to visit their mothers. Today, it is interchangeable with Mother's Day. It was also called Simnel Sunday, Rose Sunday and Refreshment Sunday before, due to certain traditions on the day. Talk about a deep history!

5. Ancient Greeks and Romans also celebrated Mother's Day! Although it wasn't called that specifically, the two peoples celebrated dates related to their gods. Greeks honored Cybele, great mother of the Greek gods, at a date around mid-March. Romans had a holiday called Matronalia, dedicated to Juno. At the same time, mothers got gifts on that day.

Pretty interesting, hm? Mother's Day is a holiday rooted within our society, as appreciation to those hardworking women who gave birth and took care of us. Did you give your mom a present this year? If not, at least give her a call!

Cool Halloween costumes stand out from the crowd. If you want to make Halloween a little more special this year, it's time for you to come out with a great costume that really makes a statement.

Hey, you could be just another Frankenstein's monster. There's no law prohibiting you from being yet another in the endless line of run-of-the-mill pirates. You could just slide a mask over your head and call it good. But if you want to make a real impact, you need to start thinking about cool Halloween costumes.

What makes a costume cool? There are a variety of factors at play. Let's look at a few.

• Uniqueness Being different is one way to join the ranks of those wearing cool Halloween costumes. If you can come up with something a little different than the rest of the crowd, you'll be in a great position. That might involve a little do-it-yourself work or it might just mean scouring the Internet for costumes that can't be easily found in your area.
• Quality A wolf man costume consisting of a five dollar rubber mask and a little patch of phony fur hear and there isn't going to knock anyone out. It's possible to elevate that classic standard, though, with a little extra effort, attention to detail and costume quality. Cool Halloween costumes stand out because they distinguish themselves from the bulk of offerings. Quality is one way to make the jump to a different level.
• Boldness You can go in a variety of different directions with your costume. You can shoot for scary. You can go for laughs. You can push sex appeal. When it comes to cool Halloween costumes, it's less about the statement and more about how boldly you can make it. If you're going to be scary, leave them in tears. If you want to be funny, make sure you'll be getting huge laughs. If the plan calls for sexy, leave them salivating.

Don't hold back. Boldness is at the heart of memorable cool Halloween costumes.

3Pc Kitty Marabou Halter Dress Tail Fuzzy Leg Warmer

Customer Review: Works as described
It fit okay. It probably should have been made a bit smaller to fit me (and I am not that far out of the norm) properly. Also, while I expected the skirt to be short, I didn't expect it to be quite that short. I had to wear hose under it or was guaranteed to flash people.

Customer Review: Too cute
I thought this costume was super cute esp. since we love the Star Wars series. I wish that it would have been offered in different materials, as it was still very hot and humid where we live. We managed to just keep the baby indoors however, so it was ok. The costume is one-size fits all for infants. My son was 10 months old for Halloween and was about too big for it.

Halloween can become a tradition in your family Many may not be aware but Halloween is an ancient festival; its origins lie in a Celtic celebration Samhain which was celebrated at the end of the harvest season. Traditional decorations of Halloween include the jack-o-lantern carved from a pumpkin representing knowledge and that knowledge would always triumph over evil. So enjoy Halloween in the modern way and carry forward an ancient tradition.
