It's almost Christmas time, and often shopping still has to be done. If you plan to shop you'd

better hurry up before all the good stuff you want to get someone is gone. If the stuff is gone

there are alternatives such as shopping online. Sometimes when you shop online you will save so

much that you wont care about the shipping, or its so expensive that you must watch your

budget. Either way you should always do your research, if something is expensive at your

favorite place and another place has it for less, buy it from the place that you're not quite sure

of, but has good reviews, hey, you might make a new favorite place.

--Spread Cheer--
People seem to be happier during the holidays. It sometimes seems easier to cheer people up. If you want to spread the cheer, the holidays is a good, and seems somewhat easy way to do it.

--More on shopping & Shipping--
Online shopping can be easy as two clicks, and the shipping can take forever. Or sometimes you might be getting something that says please wait 6 to 10 weeks for it to arrive and it is on your doorstep or your mailbox within a week.
If your site provides reviews, read them. The reviews are there for a reason, a note to a consumer to a possible future consumer.

Check out the new poll running from now until Christmas Eve on how you shop.

Cleaning is a common thing to do around Christmas time. If you have a real tree, pine needles are something you might want to keep off the floor. The biggest thing is getting ready for the guy in the red coat to come. You definitely want your house to be clean for that.

Visitors are another common thing around Christmas time. This is another part where cleaning comes into contact so you don't feel embarrassed about how you house looks. Visitors can be a nice thing or a not to great thing during the holidays. It all depends if you have lots of work to get done. It is always nice seeing people around the holidays. It kind of cheers you up.

Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
Yes t'is the time to bring trees into our houses. We light them up and hang decorations. You always hate it when your favorite and heaviest decoration droops on a weak branch. There are lots of dangers though so make sure

1. Your tree is moist and has plenty of water
2. The stand will stay tight and wont let the tree fall.
3. Your heavy decoration wont hit the dog in the head when a branch snaps.
4. The lights are bright and shiny and all function correctly

3 and 4 were somewhat jokes. Just play it safe with a Christmas tree. They catch fire and burn fast if they are dry.

Christmas Lights

These are a popular thing, around Christmas time, everyone loves them. Green, Red, White, Blue, you name it, it might be a color of a Christmas light. Here are some tips for the lights

• Check the strings of lights before you put them up.
• Find a way for wires to be hidden or not seen by animals and children
• Never overload outlets. If you need use a power strip.
• Old Extension cords can be dangerous.
• Always watch the tree when lit. It is possible for a fire. Click the Tree
  

These are some tips for X-mas lights. I will be back on Thursday for Iact post 7.
