POLL: Celebrations on Christmas Eve vs Christmas Day
Comments (8)@kirstieparker, Since our parents are now gone, mum just back in October, our family is a bit fractured because we simply came back to the family home for Christmas. Distance is also a bit of an issue with where our family members live so we personally, hubby and I will be celebrating Christmas by ourselves but we will have Christmas Eve with my son and the day after boxing day, the entire family including my son again, are meeting at a central loction, shared travel so to speak, where we try to make it easier on one family member not having to travel far and then it's swapped the next year. We're meeting at a nice Tavern, where no one is cooking and there are no presents just great times with everyone doing what our family like doing best and that's first and foremost being together, then followed closely by eating, joking, more eating and joking and so on!!! So in answer to the forum question, it's neither day really but whatever that day is that we all get together, is the best perfect day!!!

Comments (18)I always understood decorations should come down on Epiphany (6 Jan). I still have a couple of things to put away today. I love the decorations and the decorating but also really like that clean tidy feeling in January when you pack it all away. We took our LED icicle lights camping (we have a battery pack thing) when our teenage twin girls wanted a camping birthday sleep over with their friends, made for a very pretty birthday camp site and did not attract insects which was a definite bonus...See MoreChristmas Poll: LOVE or LOATHE? Regifting!
Comments (4)If you are thinking about regifting this holiday season, ask yourself the following questions: Is the gift regiftable? Never regift handmade or one-of-a-kind items. Signed books and monogrammed items are off-limits. Do you have to be told not to regift free promotional items? Some gifts that are good candidates for regifting include good (unopened!) bottles of wine, new household items and inexpensive jewelry. How is the condition? Only new, unopened gifts in good condition should be considered for regifting. Never give partially used gift cards. Don’t give items that you have owned for a long time. A general rule of thumb: if you have to dust it off, it is not regiftable. Is this going to work? Successful regifters use common sense. If you are going to regift, be sure you know who gave you the item, so you don’t return something to the original giver. Only regift items to people who are not likely to see the original giver. Do you have good intentions? Don’t just give a gift to give a gift. Be sure that the recipient will appreciate the item. Remember, if you feel that an item is undesirable, the recipient probably will too. If you are regifting simply because you ran out of time, gift cards are simple to obtain and always well received. How does it look? When it comes to gift-giving, go for show! While gift bags in good condition can be reused, wrapping paper is a one-time thing. Always spring for a new card or gift tag. Can you handle it? If you don’t plan to announce the gift as a regift, ask yourself if you can keep the secret. Never feel guilty about regifting once you’ve done it. Have you considered your options? An unwanted gift could be a welcome donation to a charitable organization. It is also an option to suck it up and keep an unwanted gift—after all, it was a gift....See MoreLooking for a creative Christmas tree alternative
Comments (29)Over the years I have improvised Christmas trees depending on our circumstances. When we were living in the middle of renovations a surveyor's tripod became a quite respectable tree. Later, in a small apartment, a few evergreen twigs hung on the wall in the form of a tree worked fine. The next year we had an ornamental bamboo in that same spot so that became the tree....See Morewalabah
