How To Make Christmas 2015 Your Most Magical Yet

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With just over a month to go until the big day arrives, it’s time to kick your preparations into top gear. Start making the plans today, and there’s no reason to think this won’t be the best Christmas ever.

Whether you dedicate your life to religion or not is unimportant. We all want to enjoy the festivities, and here’s everything you need to know.
Decorations
Christmas isn’t just about December 25th; it’s about the entire build-up. There’s no better way to get the excitement bubbling than by transforming your home into a personal Winter Wonderland.
This doesn’t necessarily have to cost an arm and a leg. Decorating the tree can be a great activity to enjoy with the kids too. Moreover, you could make your own crafts to add extra personality to the fun.
Another nice option is to invest in a nativity scene sculpture. Come December 25th, your children can place the baby Jesus in his manger to celebrate the tradition.
Presents
Material items aren’t the most important thing about the festivities. However, it’s one area that causes more frustration than any other. We all appreciate the joy of seeing someone we love smile as they unopen the present. And that’s exactly the situation we’re hoping for.
It’s especially true when buying for our little ones. These gift ideas for boys 10 to 12 years old should help you source the perfect present. Seeing their faces beam will put an even bigger smile on your face.
One of the most important things to remember is that price and value are two different things. Happiness is something that money can’t buy. If you can achieve this with a thoughtful present, nobody could ask for anything more.

The Dinner
The roast dinner is the king of dinners. Quite frankly, the Christmas dinner is the king of roast dinners. It’s not just one of the tastiest meals of the entire year; it’s one that carries more family significance than any other.
It’s an iconic moment of the day. This is what Christmas is all about. Great company, great food and the silliness of cracker jokes and other fun activities. Compliment it with a great wine, and you’ll be set to have the perfect dinner.
For many, this is the section of the day that will define the success of Christmas 2015. Get it right, and you’ll be set for the perfect day.
Don’t Forget The True Story
A great Christmas is built on family traditions. But it’s equally important to remember the story of Christmas and why we celebrate December 25th in the first place.
Taking some time to appreciate the birth of Jesus will brighten up your day. Meanwhile, you can encourage the kids to get involved with books from Zondervan. With a 30% discount currently running, you have no excuses.
The influence of religion can help us lead better lives all year round. But it’s particularly important at these times of celebration. Do not forget it.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
