What is Christmas?

What is Christmas? What does Christmas mean to you?

Some argue that the Christmas that we all know and love, with frantic present buying and rushing around has little to do with the true meaning of Christmas.

Here's Wikipedia's take on Christmas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas

Christmas means something different to each of us - for some it's about remembering the birth of Christ. For others who are less religious, it's a break from work and a chance to chill out and relax with family and friends.

What does Christmas mean to you?

Christmas Gifts - Do you choose well?

How much time do you put into choosing the perfect Christmas gift?

Do you spend hours (or even months!) perusing the shops and Christmas catalogues, looking for that perfect something to present to your loved one? Putting in a little legwork can help you choose better gifts - the more thought you put into your Christmas shopping the more chance you have of choosing a good one.

Rushing around at the last minute trying to get all your Christmas presents in one trip can be a recipe for disastrous gift giving - resorting to boring 'safe' gifts like chocolate, booze or gift vouchers!

What if you hate trudging around the shops in the cold? You're not alone! Many people are now choosing to shop online for their Christmas gifts. By shopping online you can avoid the crowds, and simply curl up on the sofa with a laptop (maybe even with a glass of wine), and shop from the comfort of your home.

Another option for easier Christmas shopping is to look for Christmas catalogues - usually you can find everything you need for Christmas : not just gifts, but trees, lights, decorations, cards, wrap and much more!
