Have you decided what to get that “special someone” on your Christmas List this year? Are you going to wait till the last minute and get the “same ole’ same ole’”? The good news is that there is still time to find that perfect gift. Let us help you out with some gift giving suggestions:
a) The Boy Scouts have a motto, “Always be prepared”. This not only works for those cold nights on the camping trail, it is a good motto to have while you are compiling a Christmas List as well. Why? From this moment on, when you are around the person you plan to give a gift to, keep your eyes and ears open. This simple fact will often give you all you need to be able to ascertain that perfect gift for them. This is especially true if you happen to be in a store with them, and they are surrounded with “stuff” to buy. They will often pick something up and make a comment, such as:
“Sweet…I’ll remember this for the future”.
“If I had more money I’d buy this”.
“I’d like it better if it was in green”.
Remember to write these comments down when you get a free minute. Comments such as these are gold mines for great gift giving…
b) Does that “special someone” have a favorite hobby or pastime? Do they enjoy following a particular sports team, or partake of a particular hobby? If so, there is often something that you can get them to help them enjoy their pastime all that more. The key is, what is it? Even if you are not an expert on their pastime, there is someone out there who is. You could call up your local hobby store, or perhaps post a question on an internet forum. Ask them “what is the perfect gift for someone who enjoys “…fill in the blank…”? People love to talk about their hobbies, and I’m sure they would love to help you out.
c) Friends can be a literal goldmine of information on that “special someone”. Ask their closest friends for gift giving suggestions…but before you do, have some gift giving suggestions of your own. If you ask them directly they will often draw a blank, but by having a few suggestions of your own you can “jog their memory” a bit. It might be a good idea to bring along some photos or pictures of what you were thinking of getting. Why not cut out some pictures from an old catalog? The key is to “jog their memory”…they might have that perfect gift idea lurking in the back of their mind somewhere….
So, there you have it…three simple ideas on how to determine the perfect gift for someone on your Christmas List. If you would like more specifics on gift giving, and the latest “Hot Items” to get for Christmas this year, check out www.ExcellentChristmasList.com

Christmas crackers are so simple, yet such an important part of our Christmas celebrations. They bring back memories of childhood, and they are a fun way to celebrate with friends, associates, and coworkers at holiday gatherings. No matter the colour or style of the paper, Christmas crackers are the perfect way to relax, have fun and get into the Christmas spirit.
With a history dating back over 150 years, Christmas crackers have long been a holiday tradition, passed on through generations of family and friends. Today, Christmas crackers are an essential finishing touch to a Christmas holiday gathering.
While crackers can be bought in single trays, it is important to remember that larger ‘catering’ packs of Christmas crackers are available and come in much larger quantities, to accommodate larger groups of people. There are many, many types of catering Christmas crackers available in cases, with up to 50 crackers in each case so that you can easily provide Christmas crackers for all without having to purchase dozens of trays individually, saving a little along the way. Because of this, catering Christmas crackers are the best way to incorporate Christmas tradition into larger events.
The contents of Christmas crackers were usually a colorful paper hat or crown, a small wooden toy, trinkets like plastic rings or fake costume jewelry, or a motto, a joke, or a trivia written on a small paper. Usually Christmas crackers are pulled before or after Christmas dinner and parties. Christmas crackers can be bought in boxes of three or as many as twelve.
And with so many different styles available it’s no wonder that catering Christmas crackers have become such an essential element of holiday events. Colours range everywhere from the traditional red, green, and gold to more contemporary silver and black. Patterns include solid hues with simple patterns, or more decorated prints of holly and ivy, snowflakes, trees, or even simply worded greetings.

Make Christmas Travel Easier for Kids
November 29, 2009 by John Adams
Filed under Holidays
Many families travel for Christmas. While traveling for Christmas can be a wonderful experience to see loved ones near or far away – the actual experience of travel can sometimes be very frustrating. Kids especially find travel stressful and challenging. Fortunately, there are ways you can make Christmas travel easier for kids.
Bring along some activities for your kids. You may be very focused on catching a connecting flight or carrying your luggage, but keeping your kids occupied should be just as important. This is not simply for your kids’ sake but also for the other passengers. Remember that kids who are not happy may fuss, whimper or cry. You don’t want your kids to disturb other passengers. This experience alone will make travel more difficult for your kids as they feel even more stress, being around adults who are unhappy with their behavior.
Involve your kids in parts of the travel experience. Get out a map and show them where the family is going. Talk about how many miles you are traveling. Read storybooks about planes or trains before you travel. Read storybooks about the town, city or state before you go. Let your kids help pack their suitcases and even shop for Christmas gifts for family. They will get more excited about the holiday travel and will feel like a part of this experience.
It’s okay to offer a reward for good behavior. Giving your kids an incentive for behaving well on the plane or train is appropriate, as long as your expectations are not unrealistic. Most small kids will get restless during some part of your trip – no matter what you do. Siblings may argue.
You know your kids better than anyone else. Choose a reward such as a fun activity for the next day or a special treat when you land. The kids will look forward to this and it can help remind them to behave well – that they will receive something they look forward to.
