1 Holiday Down

A couple of more to go! I can't wait for this season to be over. This year we spend it with my husbands side of the family...not what I look forward to doing. Maybe this year Zac and I will go volunteer on Christmas Day that way I don't have to put my fake smile on for the ever so annoying and meddling mother in law. I know my husband hates the fact that I can't stand his mom and I try soo hard to put on the happy face. My face is very telling so I know I am not hiding my displeasure very well. How can I make it a more pleasant experience??..I know drink, drink and drink so more. Usually I am quite tipsy when I leave there and quite honestly, the more I drink the happier I get. I actually place bets with my self on which child will be told they can't have desert until after they eat, yet they get it before, just quietly and secretly! Psycho beotch! Now I know why my husbands step father gets plastered every night.....he married into a family of freaks. Your kid, my kid and so on.

So I am wondering....am I the only person on the face of the earth that hates going to the signifcant others family house, whether for holidays or plain old get together? Please do share with me and tell me how you get through it all? I really need some tips, I can't spend another Christmas 2 sheets to the wind!

Tis The Season For Gifts

I love this type of gift giving sites! My family is all over the United States and we rarely all get together. This site makes gift giving easy. Instead of buying the gift, bringing it home, wrapping, packing and then shipping it, I am tired just thinking about all that. The gift is sent directly from the company, no trouble, no heavy boxes to carry out to the car and then into the shipping company of your choice. Simple and easy, just the way I like it. The hardest thing is, deciding what gift to send to each family.

Now choosing what to send each family is always the hard part. I have to keep in mind kids are in a lot of these families. The families that do not have kids well, the Wine Gift Baskets work out perfectly. Who doesn’t love a great bottle of wine and some great treats to go along with it?

Not matter what the occasion, they have the perfect gift. From new baby gift baskets to sympathy gift baskets, you are sure to find that perfect gift that everyone will enjoy. Do not want to send the traditional basket, how about a gift tower instead? Send your loved one a tower of boxes, all of them beautifully decorated, stacked on top of each other and held together with a ribbon. Each box filled with yummy treats!

If your loved on is fussy about the sweets they eat, you can also search by brand. Delightfuldeliveries.com offers several different, well-known brand names. Mrs. Fields who is best known for baked goods and Ghirardelli who is known for their chocolates. There is defiantly no lack of quality.

Remember the holidays are here and if you want to make gift giving easy this year, keep in mind that Delightfuldeliveries.com sure can make this holiday season much easier. From Wine Gift Baskets to I am just thinking about you, I am sure you will find somthing for everone!

What Holidays Do You Celebrate?

No to long ago (LOL..4th of July was just this week) I mentioned in a post that I hoped everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. I received a comment that got me thinking.

Ross Hetherington commented on that post after I Left one about his cute chickens. He said “4th July means nothing really to me. Living in the UK but I hope you had a good day.” Thanks Ross, I most certainly did!!

So now I am curious, What holidays do you celebrate in your country that we don’t here in the United States? Tell me about a little about them and what they mean to you. If you live in the United States that is ok too. We have many different cultures here and each one has it's own unique celebrations.
