Decorating your table for Christmas can be as simple or as elaborate as you want to make it. But, there is one primary secret to Christmas table decorations you should always follow.

By adhering to this simple secret it will make your table dcor far more appealing while at the same time making your job easier. By ignoring this concept your table-decorating plan can completely fall apart.

So whats the secret? Well its simple. All you have to do is decide upon a specific color theme and design theme, then stick to it.

Let me explain

Do you want a particular color or colors? People, who especially love Christmas, still rely on the old stand-bys. I will admit that red, green, white, gold and silver are still my favorites and probably always will be.

Perhaps youre in the mood for a wintery look. Simple. Just use white, blue, light shades of purple and youre on your way. Along with candles you can add ornamental snowflakes, little snowmen, or strands of clear beads or snowy white garlands.

If you have a color scheme in your home that you would like to play off of, then that can make it even simpler. You can always find candles, ribbons, napkins, beads, etc. online or at the store. Add touches of winter greenery or tiny Christmas trees to solidify the look.

A Christmas wreath laid in the center of the table can be the beginning of a perfect centerpiece. It can be decorated with any object you may want to use as a theme. If you have no theme in mind other than something special, then ribbons and bows can always come to the rescue. Inside the wreath, place a large candle or several tapers. The tapers can be the same height or differing heights. The choice is yours. Just make certain that the flames or hot wax do not come in contact with anything that could cause a fire. I was at a dinner party once where that happened. We certainly had a lively Christmas party that night!

Hurricane lanterns placed in a row down the center of the table can take the place of a traditional centerpiece. Stemware filled with beads, nuts, berries, glass marbles, or any small festive objects can be used as well. You can use themed pieces to decorate in between. Well use Christmas bells as our example of a theme. Bells can be purchased in packages or they can be purchased already strung on wire. If they are on wire, they can be wrapped around the base of the hurricane lanterns, or you can attach them to ribbon and wrap the ribbon around the lanterns. Long strands of ribbon and beads can flow around the decorations.

Continue to carry out your theme with your table napkins. Use two napkins of different colors for each place setting. Place one napkin on top of the other. You can roll them separately or roll them together, but the important thing is to tie them together. Tie them with a beautiful wired ribbon with the bell attached to the ribbon. Because wired ribbon can be shaped, it is easy to make the perfect size napkin holder. With your napkins inside your ribbon napkin holder, artfully arrange them and place them in the center of each plate. You now have bells on your napkin holders and bells on your table decorations. You can continue the theme with bells tied to the backs of chairs, hanging from the chandelier or attached to your stemware.

The idea is to repeat your color or decoration. By using a theme, your Christmas table will go from ho-hum to spectacular! Happy decorating.

Sexy Wizard Wanda Potter Halloween Costume - LARGE

Sexy naughty wizard will cast a spell on you! Costume includes dress with pleated hem, cape with attached collar and neck tie, glasses and wand.

Years ago my father introduced me to a tradition that was able to bring peace into our relationship. My parents divorced when I was about ten years old and my Dad moved south, far away from me. We really didn't speak often as my parents had one of those horrendous divorces. I probably saw him a half a dozen times before heading to college in Burlington, VT.

Needless to say, we did not have much in common and frankly, I kept myself slightly aloof from him as he left long ago...During college he began making attempts to be a part of my life. He would take me skiing with my boyfriend, send money finally and call more often.

One memorial weekend he asked me if I would like to do the graves with him. Strangely enough that was one place we both liked to go - cemeteries. We both liked wandering around old graveyards reading headstones and admiring the artistry of the marble works.

My Dad grew up in Middlebury, VT. Most of that side of the family still lives there and our relatives are buried in several different cemeteries in the area. I agreed, not really knowing what I was getting into. He picked me up early that Sunday morning and I looked in the backseat to see all kinds of supplies - gardening tools, cups and to my surprise, chilled champagne.

We began chatting about where we were going first and my Dad started telling stories. He loves telling stories, but this time the stories were of friends he had lost in Vietnam, Uncles wounded in WWII and scandalous adventures of my family I never knew. I laughed, really laughed and I saw my father for the first time as more than the man that left.

He was flawed certainly, but he was trying. Trying to become a family again. I saw for the first time how young he was when my parents got married and I found compassion that was not there before.

At each grave we cleared away the weeds, and planted pansies and marigolds. We offered champagne toasts and funny stories to those long gone. Quietly, without knowing when, a gentle peace had slipped into my Dad and my relationship.

I finally had come to love my father again. I realized wasn't abandoned any longer. I had found my way back to him and this family through the memories and stories of those long past. That day, together, we found peace again in pansies and laughter. This peace has made all the difference and I am grateful.

Happy Memorial Day! May peace find each of us.

Microfiber Lion Child Costume

Microfiber jumpsuit with fur tummy and attached yarn tipped tail. Character hood is separate with a full yarn mane. Socks not included. Available in child sizes Toddler 2-4, X-Small 4-6X, and Small 6-8. Made from Acrylic and Polyester. Manufacturer's suggested washing instructions included.

Halloween is just around the corner, which means trick-or-treating, and I stress the "treating". Eliminating candy completely at Halloween is not a feasible option and why spoil a fun holiday the whole family should enjoy? However, by taking a few simple steps you can limit the amount of candy in your home and maintain a balance between holiday treats and your health goals.

• Are you throwing or attending a Halloween party? Limit the cookies/candy and aim for some traditional fall goodies, such as caramel covered apples, pumpkin dip and pumpkin bars, which are tasty treats that offer some good nutrition too. If you are the party host, plan some party activities that get guests up and moving - Monster Mash dance contest or a scarecrow building contest - to work off some of the holiday goodies while having a ghoulish good time.
• Limit the number of homes you take your children to for trick-or-treating. The fewer homes you visit, the less candy you take home.
• "Donate" excess candy to the office or your child's teacher. You and/or your spouse can place a candy dish at your office to share with co-workers and your children can load up a bag to give to teachers for school treats throughout the year.
• Purchase only what you think you'll need to hand out to trick-or-treaters. Estimate how many little devils and goblins came knocking on your door previous years and purchase just enough candy to cover your expected trick-or-treaters. This will limit the leftover candy you will be tempted to consume after the big night.
• Portion control is key. Watch how much you eat at a time. If you have a sweet tooth, keep the candy out of sight and limit yourself to one or two pieces each day.

Halloween comes around once a year and for those dealing with health issues, such as heart disease or excess weight; this may be a stressful time trying to balance a healthy diet with the influx of candy. By following the above tips and making good decisions you can enjoy this time of year and some sweets, too.

Spooky decorations, creepy costumes and candy-filled visions spur kids - and often the entire family - into a fun-filled frenzy on Halloween. But don't let hidden dangers spoil the evening for your ghouls and booys! Here are ten simple Halloween safety and planning tips to help keep fright night from becoming a real scare.

10. Fill 'em up first: Send trick-or-treaters off with a full tummy so they won't be as tempted to eat candy before it's inspected.

9. Have a Trick-or-Treating plan: Accompany young children at all times and send older kids out in a group with strict route guidelines and curfews - and a charged cel phone for emergencies. Don't forget flashlights or glow sticks for everyone, both to see and be seen.

8. Remember safety basics: Emphasize to kids that Halloween night is no different when it comes to safety. Avoid strangers and dark houses, stay on well-lighted streets on a preapproved route, and take extra care when crossing streets.

7. Decorate with the littlest ghouls in mind: Make yard decorations safe and inviting to all. Secure electrical cords and strings out of reach, use glow sticks or battery-operated candles as light sources instead of real candles, and make walkways clear and accessible. If creating a particularly scary haunted yard, consider including a less-scary approach for younger trick-or-treaters (unless, of course, you want a bunch of leftover candy).

6. Costume for comfort and safety: Dress kids in costumes that are temperature-appropriate, allow free range of vision and movement, and are easily seen in the dark. Accessories like swords, knives and fairy wands should be safely blunted or flexible to prevent injury. Do costumes call for a spooky glow? Flameless battery-operated candles create a ghoulish candle-lit effect and are safe to carry.

5. Carve a safer Jack o'Lantern: Let little ones scoop the insides of the pumpkin and draw the face - always the best designs - but leave the carving to adults or older kids. Create a safer spooky light using glow sticks in two or three colors or battery-operated candles.

4. Check all candy before eating: Inspect candy before allowing kids to eat. Discard candy with broken wrappers, packaging that can be opened and resealed, or that appears tampered with in any way.

3. Keep pets inside all night: It's safer and less stressful for pets, pet owners and visitors.

2. Prepare for unexpected scares: Assemble a portable first-aid kit to treat minor scrapes, burns or cuts, and include medications for asthma or allergies.

1. Have a get-home plan: Whether trick-or-treating, attending a party, or stopping by the neighborhood carnival, have a plan that works for everyone in case of separation. Identify a location to go to if separated from the group, and attach parents' names, address and phone numbers to younger kids' clothing.

Chucky Adult Costume

Includes: Jumpsuit with attached shirt, and mask. Shoes and weapon not included. This is an officially licensed Chucky costume.

When the leaves begin to turn color and fall from the trees children used to start thinking about that most exciting holiday, Halloween. You got to dress up as a cat or Batman or a princess and on top of that you could go outside on the cool or cold autumn evening and who knows what was waiting for you? Free candy, spooky looking houses and perhaps some other kids who were up to no good. No matter this was a holiday meant for children, forget Christmas, at least for one night.

Adults had parties I suppose but I never noticed as I was too focused on the treats of that evening, just waiting for it to get dark and rushing off to get my pillow case full of all the candy I could eat and then some. Parents were supposed to be at home giving out candy and not going out to some silly party where they dressed up and looked odd, didn't they know Halloween was for kids?

Fast forward to today and the truth is Halloween is not just for children! Costumes were once the domain of kids but inevitably that changed for a variety of reasons. Candy is still a big part of Halloween but many complain that the kids just don't come around anymore. One reason is certainly that families are a lot smaller than they were a generation or two ago. Another is the permanent change brought about by sensational stories about poisoned candy and kidnappings of young children.

Costumes are for adults now and when you think about it Halloween has always been a pretty mature subject. The origin of Halloween is pretty scary even for adults. Halloween traces back to the Celtics who inhabited present day Ireland. November 1st was their New Years Day separating summer from winter and they believed that the line between life and death was blurred on the 31st of October and the time that the dead returned to Earth. Without going into a historical analysis suffice it to say that there was nothing child like and innocent about the origins of this Holiday. Different cultures had different traditions but many celebrate the day of the dead or all saints day to honor the dead, again no fairy tale characters here.

Early on the celebrations many sanctioned by the Catholic church involved dressing up as saints, angels and devils which were the precursors of the tradition of wearing costumes. The tradition evolved and many cultures do not celebrate Halloween. Perhaps it is only fitting that the U.S. has managed to celebrate this solemn time by wearing costumes of Star Wars characters, Presidents, alive and dead and of course the Texas Chainsaw Massacre character and Jason the undead. Adults now celebrate the holiday with little tricking or treating but parties, gatherings with music, alcohol and food and many suggest "simply another reason to have a party." Many if not most people have no idea what they are celebrating and why should they care. Unlike Christmas, Easter and the Fourth of July the meaning of Halloween is blurred and unfocused and likely to stay that way. Halloween, a holiday that used to celebrate the dead now celebrates life and in some cases debauchery.

Adults now have a wide range of choices of what to wear for Halloween. It seems that women more than men enjoy dressing up for the occasion. Why are women more inclined than men to dress up in silly, cute and suggestive costumes? Simplistically perhaps because women have been conditioned to be spectacles or object of desire more than men. Perhaps because in a male dominated society women have been conditioned by men to dress for the pleasure of men? These questions won't be answered here, but the truth is the variety of costumes for women dwarfs those for men by a ration of at least ten to one. What ever the reason women can dress up in the classic costumes such as the cheerleader, French maid and nurse. These are costumes that have evolved from occupations that women hold to this day although the costumes are generally not appropriate for wearing to work at the hospital. Men's costumes generally stick to the pirate, barbarian and other such manly figures.

Fortunately women's costumes now include a greater selection of plus size costumes in many, but not all of the characters available to missy sizes. Here as elsewhere in the fashion industry a controversy exists as to supply and demand and it is difficult to say who is to blame. Any woman who wears plus size will attest that the selection for plus size costumes is but a fraction of those offered to missy size girls. Manufacturers argue that plus size women simply don't but these costumes while many women argue that the selection is poor and the styles are limited. Regardless of the outcome of that controversy selection of plus size costumes is increasing slowly but surely. Woman of all sizes can and do wear the suggestive costumes but plus size women have been slower to embrace the trend for whatever reason.

Whether Halloween is a holiday that contains memories of a day gone by where children dominated the tradition or you grew up when the holiday transformed to a holiday for kids and adults equally the basic reason for the modern day holiday is to have fun and wearing costumes is a way to become another character whether it be superman or a suggestive Alice in Wonderland, just have fun!

Thanksgiving is traditionally a day when we invite our loved ones into our home and give thanks for all we have. But with Christmas and other holidays looming just around the corner, it sometimes can be tough on the budget to put out a beautifully decorated table. No problem, The Budget Decorator is here to help you create a tablescape for your home that represents your creativity, and gives you yet another thing to be thankful for....money saved!

1.Develop a theme. A natural for this time of year, is, well...natural! Use the beauty of nature and the harvest as even our ancestors did to provide a beautiful and delicious theme for your Thanksgiving feast.

2.Provide a backdrop to your table setting. You don't need fancy tablecloths for this day. Layer simply flat sheets, old bedspreads or quilts, and pretty fabric placemats all on the same table. Keep a solid color between each pattern, and it will shine!

3.Go all out setting your table! I DON'T mean run to your nearest department store and buy the best china. Nonsense. This day is about simpler things than that. I do mean use what you have, all of it, even if it doesn't match. Set out plates and salad dishes and soup bowls. Use all your glassware. Bring out separate forks for salad and main dish. Fold pretty fabric or paper napkins and place at each setting. Go to a craft site and find a little place card you can make out of materials on hand. Here's a secret: The more generous you are with your table settings, no matter what the nature of the plates and cups and silverware, the more festive and lavish the room appears!

4.Create a shimmering centerpiece out of natural materials! Bather 2 or three ceramic bowls, and fill them with nature finds...fir cones, acorns, nuts or seeds, even old potpourri! Nestle a pillar candle in each bowl, and set in the center of the table. Add a few pressed or silk fall leaves to the table around the bowls, and viola! Simple, elegant, and except for the candles(which you may have in your cupboard already) free! Never leave the candles unattended, and always make sure they will not burn down to or be blown into anything flammable.

5.Use a small pitcher from your cupboard to bring fresh flowers or branches of fall leaves to the table. Use in the center of your candle arrangement for height and interest.

6.Display pumpkins and gourds in the corners of the room, piled as they would in a barn. Add a few baskets to hold apples and pears, or smaller gourds and corn.

7.Invest in one roll of fall hue ribbon for your tablescape. Tie a bow to the back of each chair, wind ribbon over the table through the centerpieces. Even use it as tiebacks for the curtains!

Use what you have, bring in the bounty of harvest, and enjoy your loved ones without stealing from that holiday fund!

The popular television series, comic books and films based on Bob Kane and Bill Finger's iconic character The Batman, or The Dark Knight, have developed an immensely strong cult following. This is especially true since 1990, the year Tim Burton's feature film adaptation was released on the public to become one of the greatest spectacles seen in recent years. Many films followed Batman: The Movie, including those starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Carrey, George Clooney and other famous actors.

The most recent film release, The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, has become the highest grossing film ever to hit the big screen. Ticket sales create new fans and rejuvenate fans of old - officially ushering a new era for the pulp icon. It's well known that millions of children and adults will don a Dark Knight Halloween costume this October. And it's important for these film and pop-culture followers to purchase the latest and most official versions of the Batman's suit.

Dressing up as Batman is not limited to Halloween, however. Once bought, this soon-to-be classic attire can be worn while attending comic book conventions, fan parties, the next Batman film release and even fare as an alternate form of pajamas for the truly devoted. People enjoy dressing up as alter egos and super heroes because it allows them to be free to express themselves in ways not possible in their day-to-day lives. And now you can join them.

The Batsuit's foundation is a tight-fitting bodysuit that is similar to many superheroes. If you wish to dress like an earlier version of Batman, you may consider wearing contrasting briefs over a unitard, similar to what's seen on circus performers. To follow modern guidelines, briefs are integrated into the main costume, so that section of the costume constitutes only a seam and color change from the rest of the suit. This can be accomplished by wearing briefs and a unitard of the same color.

When looking for the best Dark Knight Halloween costume, be sure it includes the following: Batman cape, cowl with mask (make sure it doesn't fit to tightly on the head), boots, gauntlets or arm-bands, and body armor. Most pieces of this Dark Knight costume are likely to be cloth, including the gauntlets and armor. In some cases the devoted Batman devotee will find a durable plastic outfit that will not only last longer, but look more appealing and official. The only setback to purchasing one of these official costumes will be the cost, which usually starts at over thirty dollars.

Now that you know what the essential parts of a Dark Knight Halloween costume consist of you should look at your local costume store for these items or purchase them online if you intend to dress up this Halloween season. Even if you're just looking for something good to wear to San Diego's Comic Con next summer, it's a good idea to get your hands on the Dark Knight costume a couple weeks before Halloween to ensure you get a good deal.
