We went to Williamson Tree Farm on the outskirts of Carrollton, OH. It's a small tree farm, very understated. They don't have horse drawn carriages, nice big barns and all that stuff. They do have great service, great trees and great prices. This was our first year getting a real Christmas tree since we've gotten married. We've had a fake one up until the year before last, we didn't put anything up last year. When I was growing up we always had a fresh tree, we'd often make a trip of heading out to the tree farm to pick our perfect tree. It was a cold day, the temperature was in the low 20's when we left and right around 20 when we arrived home. That didn't stop the tree farm people, they were all bundled up and ready to take you out to choose and cut your perfect tree. We picked out a cute little Frasier fir with lots of character (aka not perfect and straight). We put our tree in the car, which just fit. Then we grabbed a bunch of pine boughs for decorating the stair railing and a few other spots around the house and we were on our way. They let us take as much of this as we wanted for free – a great bonus to shopping at a little tree farm instead of one of the big places! One of things I love about this tree farm is that since it's small, they plant the new trees in the spots in the field where others are cut down.

We still believe that many small microfinance investments can have a great impact to support sustainable growth. This is why we will continue to invest in businesses around the world via online microfinance platforms such as kiva.org or MyC4 . Since 2008 , we supported over 25 different projects with more than 70 entrepreneurs in developing countries all over the world. This Christmas – instead of expressing our gratitude to our partners with a bunch of huge presents – we invested in ten different projects in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Ghana, Chile, Armenia, Ecuador, Colombia and the Philippines. We would like to take the chance and introduce you to some of the entrepreneurs we supported. 23-year-old Arnold from the Philippines, mother-of-two Martha Luisa from Colombia, Ana from Guayaquil in Ecuador, and the young Armenian Davit, all share one dream for 2011: They would like to make a living from their internet cafés and thus want to expand their businesses.

Last weekend, Knudsen's hatred for the creature he says "comes from the devil" manifested itself in the form of a mock execution by hanging of a Christmas elf outside his church. Around the elf's neck was a sign reading "we reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises", a reference to the Christian baptism rite. Knudsen said decorating with elves at Christmas was "comparable to decorating with Nazi flags" , and described elves of all sorts as "poltergeists that come from the devil and make children sick". Although the church's parishioners and some other residents of the town of 1,500 on the North Sea coast supported the protest, others had asked, and even threatened, Knudsen to take the elf down. In one humorous protest, Knudsen said a dozen or so metre-high garden gnomes had been placed outside his home. He said he had also received letters sent by "elves". The executed elf was originally supposed to remain hanging from the church until Sunday, and the church had set up a night watch in order to prevent it from being stolen. One offended resident took action on Monday afternoon while no one was watching, however, and pulled down the elf. He left a message with the pastor that the elf was being "kept safe until after the New Year". Knudsen reported the theft to the police, and the culprit confessed ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: the330.com --- Thursday, December 09, 2010 Details Comedy: Tuna Christmas When: Continuing through Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays, 3:30 p.m. Dec. 18 Where: Weathervane Community Playhouse, 1301 Weathervane Lane, Akron Cost: $21; senior citizens and college students, $19; children $17 Information: 330-836-2626 or http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com .

River knelt down, peering curiously at Amy. "You do know you're fondling a Christmas tree?" she asked her, thinking the younger woman looked just a bit tipsy, to be honest. "Yeah... bit too much eggnog," Amy nodded. River pushed one of the presents out of the way and slid down beside her. "And the Doctor and Rory?"

Seattleites are as fiercely loyal to their neighborhoods as any folk I've come across, and I am one of them; I can't imagine living anywhere else in this city but at the bottom of the hill (I will never call it "Uptown"). And I'm never happier to be here than at Christmastime, for a host of reasons such as these: City slickers + icy roads = the greatest show on earth. The early freeze this November marked the welcome return of our block's most anticipated seasonal event. Forget flying down a closed-off Queen Anne Hill via laundry baskets, roasting pans and other makeshift sleds. When icy weather hits and cars veer off the main drag to wind up the grade along our side street, it's time to pop the corn and take a front-row seat. It only takes a couple of overconfident drivers to get things started: they hit those slick patches in the turn, and every window shade on the corner opens for the low-speed demolition derby. The season opener was the best in years, with nearly a dozen cars abandoned by the end of the night and a visit from local news networks the following morning. "I'll remember that forever," remarked a young man to his buddy as they departed the scene, cameras in hand.

Start with the presents. Choose only eco-friendly gifts or create them by yourself. Avoid the typical packages and wrap the presents with eco-friendly materials. Use a nice scarf, newspapers or magazine's pages. The Christmas dinner is one of the most important parts of the celebration. The decoration of the table also matters. Forget the electric light bulbs and add some festive atmosphere by lighting candles. Bring out the old candelabra and enjoy the intimate ambient. Don't hesitate to choose local organic food and drinks. By buying organic foods you are not only supporting the local farms, but you are also consuming healthy and green food. In case you are wondering about the recipes, there are plenty of green Christmas recipes. The vegetarians will surely enjoy a Christmas without meat. Check out the local stores for some organic foods, which you can't find at the local farms. The online green stores are a good decision, but you should purchase them early. In case you want to be sure that your meat is organic, look for Soil Association accreditation, which is a guarantee that you are buying meat with high standards for the animal welfare and without pesticides and fertilizers. The festive dinner table is a must, but don't serve the food on disposable plates and cups.

Why? By doing so, buyers or shoppers avoid the trap of impulsive buying. Here are simple, practical tips for Christmas shopping and gift giving, also in mind, how to save money and conserve resources: Plan trips in advance and consolidate so that you make fewer of them. Spending fewer hours driving to malls, shopping centres, and the post office means less wasted gas, time, and far less stress. Shop early, while there is time to make careful choices. Last minute spending often leads to panic buying, which leads to unwanted gifts and unnecessary. Shop at thrift shops, antique stores, and holiday bazaars. They are more likely cheaper and there are almost always possibilities of collectible or unique items. Consolidate purchases into one bag. Or, bring along few reusable bags from home. Try to make or create own gifts, if possible. For example, a Christmas wreath can be made out of natural materials such as dried herbs along with branches. Try shopping from home. With the advent to the Internet, many families use online shopping. Others also avail of ordering goods through the telephone. The television is a great way to find out products on sale, a great tool to select gifts through advertisements where consumers are alerted which products are great bargain.

But, Christmas is not a time to give up hope. I've spent two Christmases in the last decade unemployed and I know it feels worse at this time of year. But, there are things we can do for ourselves or for people we know who are unemployed. The first glimpse of semi-good news came on Monday with Obama's grubby tax deal , if it's passed that is. Hopefully, honest job seekers looking for employment will get some state aid to keep them fed, warm and with a roof over their heads. First, please remember that, apart from seasonal retail work from now until the New Year, hiring will slow down . Take a break, try to enjoy the season as best you can with people who love you. A clear mind in the New Year will also help your focus more than you can imagine right now. So, now you have a few weeks to rethink your approach and that all important resume. First, take a few days off, don't think about anything. Read the books you like, watch TV, do what you enjoy. Then go back to that resume, and think, what can I do about it? Volunteer or help people. One of the worst things about being unemployed is being alone and no one wants to be alone this time of year. Get out and volunteer, help at soup kitchens or take the time to work in charity shops.

Since then we have used JumpStart consistently in our homschooling time as well as during fun time. Here's a recap of our last review with some updated info about the new JumpStart features... When JumpStart contacted us about trying out the new JumpStart.com online virtual world, I was curious to see what this new online world had that all the others didn't. It seems to me that there have been tons of new online virtual worlds popping up over the last few years geared toward children, and at a time when more and more parents are trying to limit their children's computer and game time. Many of us are trying to weigh out the benefits versus the cons of using the computer as a learning tool. I wanted to see what JumpStart had that would bring us coming back for more. We have used the award winning JumpStart games in the past, but had not seen any of their recent material. The JumpStart game that we owned was meant to be used with Windows 95! I know.... so old, but it was a hand-me-down. Boy, was I in for a surprise. The new JumpStart.com virtual world is amazing! Packed with tons of learning games, JumpStart.com is a fun and educational experience. My kids have been begging to play more JumpStart !

Nobody figured it out exactly, but somebody did yell out "Capitol Hill!" when the boas were handed out and that was actually correct. The first stop was Pike's Place market where we hopped out for a quick picture in front of the sign. That whole area is nicely decorated for Christmas. We ended up at Tavern Law .

Although this will be my seventh Christmas here, I still can't get used to celebrating in the mid-summer heat, on the beach or at a backyard BBQ; or the shop windows full of tinsel and fairy lights, glinting in the summer sun. It just doesn't seem right somehow. But being an expat Pom myself, I can well understand the attractions for the hundreds of thousands of Brits who visit Australia at this time of year. Rob Just as most people here are beginning to wind down before the holidays, our Consular teams around the country are preparing for another busy summer season (from December to March). Over 660,000 Brits visit Australia each year, and most visits are trouble-free. And over one million Brits already call Australia their home - the biggest overseas Brit resident community outside the UK! Both visitors and expats sometimes need our help, whether down to bad luck or bad planning (or a bit of both). Two of the most common problems for visitors here – lost/stolen passports, and getting into trouble in the surf – are easily avoided. Did you know that Brits are more likely to have their passport lost or stolen in Australia than anywhere else? Common locations include pubs, clubs, hostels, at the beach on Christmas Day, or while out watching the New Year's Eve fireworks. Proof of age cards are available , at little cost, from the Australian authorities. ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: bloglines.co.za --- Wednesday, December 08, 2010 The holiday season is in the end here!

First, it signaled that Christmas was near and second, it always gave me a good laugh. It's a corny, offbeat film that has received many low ratings over the years but I cannot help myself, I like it. As an adult, I am sure I like it more for the nostalgia than the actual content, acting, or set design—but as a child, I liked it for the Martians. The plot is simple…Martians have access to Earth television and their children are depressed because they don't have a Santa Claus of their own, they don't have Earth toys, and they don't celebrate Christmas. And they're quite tired of always having to learn and never having any time for "fun". Determined to make their children happy, the Martian leader, Kimar, travels to Earth and kidnaps Santa Claus, along with two Earth children. His plans, however, aren't okay with everyone on Mars and he's met with opposition from Voldar, one of the chief council members. Once kidnapped, Santa has a plan to help the Martian children find happiness so that the Martians will return him and the children to earth. And it works. The acting isn't the best, the set designs are amateur even for early television shows, and yet, I adore the film and all its kooky glory.

I am so incredibly excited about the JMcLaughlin party I can hardly stand it. This is my first catering gig and my very first venture into packaged foods. Will there be more packaged foods and catering to come? Perhaps! (Read: I hope so!) The food I'll be making for the party will be mainly sweet and savory bite-size nibbles. There is no kitchen at the shop and we want customers to be browsing while they eat, not juggling heavy duty hor d'oeuvres and ignoring the pretty clothes. One of the cookies I'll be serving are these sweet Christmas Pinata cookies. My Mom ripped out the recipe from a magazine many moons ago and has made them for us every Christmas since. As you'll see, they are called pinata cookies because of the sweet surprise inside. In this case I use Candy Cane Hershey Kisses and festive M&M's, small sweets that fit well inside the sweet buttery dough. I then froze half to keep until the party next week.

Kinect contains a video camera, depth sensor, an array of microphones as well as a motorised head and lives above or below your TV. All of this combines to allow controller-free gaming, something that makes the competition – Nintendo Wii and Playstation Move seem like yesterday's technology. Controlling your Xbox by gesturing with your hands is something that needs to be experienced to understand entirely. At first it feels foreign, but quickly becomes quite natural and because it is not done excessively, your arms wont get tired. Lets face it, Kinect is the closest you will ever get to being Tom Cruise in Minority Report. Along with Kinect's launch, comes a range of new games to take advantage of it. Theres a few options to start with Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, Dance Central, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, Joy Ride, EA Sports Active 2 and Kinect Sports. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved provides you with your own on-screen personal trainer, guiding you through exercise routines and fitness games to get you in shape. Because Kinect tracks your entire body, the game can tell you when your not performing an exercise correctly. As you burn calories in the game, you earn Xbox Achievements, motivating you to come back often.
