What is christmas: Definition and 200 Discussions

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS in Legalese (Author unknown) Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did occur at a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter "the House") a general lack of stirring by all creatures therein, including, but not limited to a mouse. A...

I keep sending these to my email and they do not appear. It says it has been sent successfully. I checked my profile and the email is right. Any suggestions?:(

Until it just came via Fed Ex! Awww....how cute!And the info attached was excellent!

DH and I work together. There is a guy we work with who I would consider to be good friends with (we know his family, have hung out a few times but don't do a lot of stuff together). This guy has 2 young daughters. Today I was asking him if he and his family were excited for Christmas. He...

Ok...my DH and I don't normally really 'do' Christmas gifts for each other (because we actually always end up buying what we want ourselves when all the sales are going on :blushing:). But I have two boys who really want to get mommy something for Christmas....we typically do take them...

I am attending my church's ladies Christmas fellowship tomorrow. We are suppossed to bring a small gift. I was thinking about using something PC, perhaps a Season's Best, one of the calendars, and someting small like an all purpose spreader. Does this seem like a good idea or should i just go...

Thought I'd share our Christmas newsletter with my friends here on CS. Feel free to share yours. I love learning more about each of you.

Sooo, what's everyone baking for Christmas (or other Holidays you might celebrate)? Some years I've gone way overboard for my Cookie Plates, but this year, I'm keeping them simple. This is what I'm making: Homemade Marshmallows dipped in chocolate (still working up the courage) Russian...

I have a customer that is wanting a pink nylon knife and the pink bar board/knife combo for Christmas presents. Anyone still have any they would be willing to part with??

A question came up today at a Christmas Bazaar that I didn't know the answer to. What happens if someone doesn't qualify in 90 days? Do they have to send the kit back??? Does the PC police come & get them? ;) This is a person that really just wants the kit and doesn't want to do the shows ... I...

My daughters school was asking for raffle prizes to be donated next week to be raffled at the concert. The only thing I have extra is a large bar pan. Can anyone think of a creative way to wrap this? I was thinking of including a recipe file with some recipes to make on the large bar pan as well...

Does anyone send out Christmas cards to their guest and or hosts. I am still new and don't have a huge base so I thought I would send them to everyone. But I don't want to pay $40 for Merill's cards and then the postage too. Please share what you do!! :angel: thanks Jan

I know that the last deadline for items to arrive by Christmas is Dec 15th, but is that regualr shipping or is there an extra cost for expediated shipping? I want to get a Mystery Host done in Dec but it would be a big time crunch AND more importantly I don't want to have to charge extra for...

I've decided to give it a go! I've recruited 3 people recently which means I've lost some shows (I give them their own show as their first) and the residual bookings from that show. I've also been letting them work my booths for bookings & sales to help get their new businesses off the ground...

For those of you who send your own invitations to guests, do any of you have any special full page invites you are sending out for Dec?

I have booked a booth come Dec. 4-5th. THis is my first one and a great opportunity for my business.:chef: One thing is troubling me, though. It is manditory that I assemble a Christmas tree designed with some of my company's products to put next to my booth! It must be between 5'-8' and have...

Any good ideas on how to get some sales in at the end of December so I still get a good check? I am doing a mystery host show dec 1-14th (next yr I think I may do that att eh end of the month instead??) Anyway, if you have some ideas please let me know. Sandra

I'd like to say all opportunities are good ones. . . but here's the deal. I have a friend who wants me to participate in an open house - free of charge :) - with Mary Kay, Creative Memories, and a jewelry lady. I was thinking of doing some microwave recipes (it's 4 hours long), every...

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

$10 under gifts gift baskets gift ideas? I have my first booth at a fair and would like to pass out some gift ideas.

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...

I know. I know. It's waaaay too early to be thinking about Christmas. Or is it? There are only 180 days. It's less than half a year away. Plus, I was in Hobby Lobby earlier this week, and they were putting out their Christmas items. Seriously. It was crazy. Now, my focus right now is on NC, but...

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