Thanks Linda, will use the article for my classes. I love the Christmas season but it should be reserved for late November onwards. My heart goes out to poor sales staff having to listen to carols and twee Xmas muzak from summer/autum on.

I love Halloween - so that comes first!
I wish I could think about Christmas to avoid the rush.
It
would be fantastic to buy things at the Summer sales and just put them
away til Christmas/Hanukkah -not only would things be cheaper, but we
wouldn �t end up buying Winter-type presents.
Alas - I can �t think that far ahead. (woe is me!)
I admit to being a last minute shopper..........

Hi again
As I said yesterday, I �m preparing Halloween and Thanksgiving at the moment, though looking forward to start prep about Christmas.
So, just to let you know I �ve just uploaded a video, in youtube, with the famous song "My favorite things "; I �ll use it to help my students discover how much we all have to give thanks - there are so many little things that can brighten our lives. If you feel it may be useful, please, feel free to download it.

Dear Linda,
I must say I start preparing for Xmas in summer. Because I have been making the
Xmas present on my own for some years. Our family isn �t a small one, so I
need time to be ready.
In the first year I painted mugs and made angels from the leaves of corn, then
the other year I made gobelin pictures and created angels from different kind
of pasta. In the third year I made key-chains and bookmarks. Then I made window
decoration for my relatives. Last year I created angels and decoration round tea
candles with the technique quilling. This year I �m making key chains again, because they the older are worn
out or are torn. :)
Here are some pictures of them:   
Hugs, Susan
