REMEMBER TO SHARE THIS TRIVIA
AT CHRISTMAS TIME

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to Mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers until after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's Reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be female. We should've known...ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost. LOL!

It’s Party Time! - Let’s Decorate

Holidays are here and so is the spirit of partying. Here are some wonderful ideas for transforming your home into an innovative party scenario and giving your guests an occasion that will forever remain etched in their memories.

1. Entrance: Do up your entrance with Foil Door Decorator. The entrance to your home should be magnificent and welcoming. Line the driveway with Snowflake Luminaries or Red Starburst Luminaria with Metal Cup Tealights. Place a guest book at the front door for expressing sentiments. Clean up clutter near your entrance. Decorate the entrance traditionally or with something unusual to set a celebratory mood. You could also decorate according to the theme of your party. Add a Silver Star Door Curtain or Snowman Door Decoration for Christmas

2. Lighting: Lighting sets the mood for the party. Add sound with a Christmas CD. Interesting ways to play with lighting are to cover light bulbs with multi-colored cellophane strips, cover lights or battery-torches with soft white cloth and place them separately to give the room an air of mystery, or use all your beautiful candles together instead of lights to create a romantic mood. If using candles, combine candles of various colors, shapes and sizes together. Or try Merry Christmas Lights, Snowflake Lights and 18" Singing Snow Globe.

3. Flowers: Flowers will never go out of Fashion. Use lots of seasonal flowers to add freshness and fragrance to your decor. Use garlands to decorate tall structures, floral arrangements on mantels and corners and floating displays of seasonal flowers and floating candles for an eye-catching centerpiece. Visit our Flower Arrangement Gallery by Chrissie Harten for some great ideas. If you expecting kids at your party, place such arrangements out of reach of children or use wooden or metal vases and bowls instead of glass and porcelain. Include a Holiday Centerpiece or Musical Train Wreath

4. Fabric and Linen: The color and texture of the fabric in the room should be decided according to the occasion, theme, season etc. Cool fabrics go for summers. Rich brocades and Velvet go with a Victorian theme. Red, Golden and White will give the room a Christmassy feel. This Velvet Seasons Greeting will go nicely with fabrics and linens of Christmas.

5. A Special Touch: Give the party scenario a special touch by placing an object which will be the center of attraction for your guests. A party is the right time to show off your beautiful collection of dolls or your set of original oils by a famous artist. A set of rare books placed together as a ‘mini-library’ in your party room will also become a major attraction if your guests are Literature-Lovers. Apart from collections, you can use mini-aquariums, waterfalls, miniature indoor gardens etc. These will not only beautify the room, but also give your guests a beautiful theme to start a conversation. How about a snow globe collection...start one now with this 18" Singing Snow Globe.

Happy Decorating!
