What is christmas: Definition and 158 Discussions

I worked with someone else at a Christmas craft show this last weekend. I had lots of small items for cash and carry. My partner needed orders and bookings. I think we both did well. I could have also sold 7 ice cream scoops if I would have had them. I hear others against cash and carry...

So I sent out an email to my contacts....friends, past guests, hosts etc. No response....I just don't get it. I'm getting just enough shows to get by....but I would think that my friends would help me. Any suggestions?

Got my Supply Order yesterday and when I opened the minis, I realized I had ordered all Fall ones by mistake. I can trade 25 unopened Fall for 25 unopened Christmas (up to 50). We both pay our own postage to each other! I have a December 9th Show that I need the Christmas ones for and don't want...

Don't know how to look this up but I'm sure I read about it here..... I have a potential early-January host. She was very excited about the idea I suggested to her and now have to deliver (that's where y'all come in to help). I suggested that she sell "gift cards" to the hubbys to give at...

I thought about mailing the holiday mini catalog to businesses, with a letter. The letter would explain how the employer could purchase Christmas gifts for their employees or customers. It would also include gift ideas. Does anyone know if there is already like this available? I was thinking...

I belong to a Christmas ornament exchange group. I'm trying to come up with an idea for this year. I came across this ornament. Tell me what you think-do you think it's going to be too heavy to hang on a tree? http://www.tallmouse.com/projects/xmas/terracookie/index.htm

So, any thoughts on Teacher gifts for this year?

Here's my dilemma.... I have not had a lot of attendance at my past Fall or Spring open houses/kick off events. So therefore I have decided that in place of that I would host an open house at Christmas time. If I choose to do both and host a Fall kick off and a Christmas Open House then it...

Has anyone hosted a Christmas in July show? I am thinking about maybe trying this...would love to hear input! ~Dee

I wasn't a director for Christmas 2007, but I'd really love to have the tie and scarf that HO sent that year. If you want to part with yours, let me know how much you want for it. Thanks!

I saw several people wearing their Director's Christmas Trivet Pin as a necklace at Leadership and I really liked it. They had looped a black silk cord through the top of the trivet. I really like that look. Just thought I'd mention it for those of you who may not have seen that and for those...

I had received an email that one of my shows that I submitted before the Christmas deadline MAY not have the DCB's on it and that the customers would receive their product late BUT would also get a refund of the price. So far, none of the affected customers have received their refund. Anyone...

Dec 10 - I submitted a show with plenty of time to ship before Christmas. Dec 15 - 3rd package arrived missing 15 items! Dec 15 - I called HO and they said they'd expetide the priority (in house - not Fed Ex) and the host could expect them on Dec 19. (Wouldn't ship directly to...

My inlaws bought me a bread maker for Christmas. Not sure why, maybe because I never make bread? LOL Anyway, now I'm excited to try it but there are only a couple of recipes in the manual. I need to pick up yeast and some skim milk powder for one of them. Does anyone have a breadmaker...

Is anyone else doing one? I am only about $275 away from $1,500 so I decided to send out an email to all my customers, potential customers I have met at booths, and former Hosts. I am putting it below so you can see it and use it if you like! It was only in my email so I don't have a "Word...

What are you guys making for Christmas Dinner? I'm drawing blanks. I know I'm doing a Honey-baked ham. We're having one other family over- so not sure what to ask her to bring- thinking she can bring a favorite dessert and a veggie tray or something. I'm leaning towards either a Sweet...

I have some questions on making my pies for Christmas Day. I want to make a mixed berry and an apple. I won't have time to make them tomorrow, and I don't want to have to make them Christmas day, so I wanted to make them today. But I am not sure how it will work. I thought about making them...

My regular HP laptop has been struggling for awhile...and this last week the screen totally went dead (again). DH has patched it up, but he knew I really hated playing roulette with it (as in would it work or wouldn't it). As an early Christmas gift, he bought me an HP mini yesterday. I...

What are you making for Christmas morning? I need some ideas. I work until 2am that morning and my kids are generally up by 7am so I need something I could make ahead of time and pop in the oven for Christmas morning. Ideas?...and Merry Christmas!

We're planning: Roast Duck Au Gratin Potatoes Garlicky Green Beans with Pine Nuts Parker House Rolls Tiramisu I'll steam the duck the day before, the put in on the rotisserie. Most of the rest can be done ahead of time, so I won't be spending all day in the kitchen. What do you have...

Rae started a Newsletter thread, so, I thought I would start a thread to share our Christmas cards with each other. I took these pics and a friend of mine put them together on the card. Russell bought me the program over the weekend for me to do this myself from now own b/c I had to continue to...

My computer died :cry: It was working fine, then it went black - no error msg or anything. It's probably a virus, but I can't get it fixed until this weekend or later. In the meantime, I am on my old dinsosaur computer (and back to dial-up) for awhile (the dsl connection won't fit this...

I have to take a salad to my in-laws for Christmas day... not like a green salad or pasta salad... I'm thinking something more like a fruity or sweet type salad.... I always get stuck bringing the salad and they are just not my thing... any suggestions would be appreciated! TIA!!!

Does anyone have a Left/ right Game with a Christmas theme? I am, doing a game wiht it for our kid's party. I had heard it before, but I do not have a copy of it.

Okay, this is my brainstorming session here. I'd love to hear what everyone else is going to do this year, or any traditions you have. I'm thinking of revamping our menu. It's the same thing every year, which I may continue. I'm just tired of it. On one hand, I hate to break tradition...

If I submit an individual order today and pay the Direct shipping will it get there by Christmas? I know the cut-off was the 15th for shows - but I don't have anything handy here to check if it was for indivual orders? She only wants a can opener and cookbook. I am willing to think she would...
