			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love gift baskets! But what is up with most <a href="http://www.christmasgifts.com/gift-baskets.php">gift baskets</a> these days? Yeah, they all have something that I love in them. But, just like boxes of assorted chocolate, there is always something left at the end that nobody wants. Whether it is the mint jelly or those lollipops with the worms in them, why do most gift baskets force me to waste? It is annoying. But I still love giving and receiving gift baskets because, for the most part, they are usually so versatile and wonderful. I don&#8217;t want to give another gift basket that ends in disappointment and dried out fruitcake. ChristmasGifts.com has come to my (and your) rescue! While searching on ChristmasGifts.com for some great gift baskets, I came across Design It Yourself Gift Baskets.</p>

My Christmas shopping will not take that long.” December tenth. “Yeah, I will go Christmas shopping next week.” December seventeenth. “Uh, oh&#8230;” December twenty third. ::Insert your favorite word of frustration here.:: December twenty fifth. “Oh&#8230; hey&#8230; I&#8230; uh&#8230; left your Christmas gift at home. I&#8217;ll be sure to bring it next time I see you&#8230;”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My parents host Christmas each year for myself, my brother, my two sisters and our combined 14 children.  Since their immediate family has grown to 24 members, it’s difficult for mom and dad to buy significant gifts for everyone.  We have taken some of the pressure off them by starting a new Christmas tradition.</p>
<p>Two years ago my sisters and I decided that our families would draw names for Christmas.  We hold two separate drawings – one that includes the 10 adults and another for the 14 children.  We have found this drawing works very well, each person receives a smaller number of gifts but the ones they do receive are more substantial.  We also add a twist each year by including a specific gift theme.  The first year we held the drawing our theme was &#8220;Music and Movies.&#8221;  My 5 year old received the Disney movie &#8220;Cars,&#8221; as well as the soundtrack from the movie and a Cars t-shirt.  I gave my sister the newly-released “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie and a CD from Kenny Chesney, her favorite singer.</p>
<p>Last year our theme was &#8220;<a href="http://www.holiday-gifts-gift-baskets.com/">holiday gift baskets</a>,&#8221; which turned out to be a lot of fun!  Dad got a basket filled with John Deere items – a bottle opener, calendar, 1000 piece puzzle and replica toy tractor.  My husband’s camouflage basket will filled with deer hunting accessories and my gourmet food basket included a paella pan, Spanish rice and a bottle of wine to complement the dish.</p>
<p>We have already decided on this year’s theme – it will be &#8220;photo frames and memories.&#8221;  I’m hoping to draw my mom’s name because I have a great idea to purchase a personalized frame and include baby photos of each of her 14 grandchildren.  For the kids’ gifts, I have found some adorable Sesame Street frames that I’ll include with a school memory book that has a page for each grade.  So far this tradition is one that everyone likes, and we look forward to carrying it on for many years!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring has sprung, and that means only one thing at my house:  Spring Cleaning!  Luckily, I got a head start this weekend, organizing and tidying all of the little remnants of the holiday season that haven&#8217;t made it into storage yet.  If you&#8217;re like me, you like to leave your favorite <strong>Christmas Ornaments </strong>and holiday decorations up year-round.  And even though we&#8217;re only in March, just looking at all of the neat holiday décor I bought through Gifts.com last season got me thinking about ways to incorporate the best of the holiday season throughout the entire year.</p>
<p>For example, Christmas lights really up the ambiance-factor of an otherwise humdrum balcony, deck, or patio.   And the Personalized Christmas Photo Ornaments I received as a gift look fantastic hanging in the kitchen, the bedroom, or even from the rearview mirror of my car!  I&#8217;ve even hung the custom-made Christmas stocking I bought last year near the front door so I have a handy place to put my keys and separate my bills from my junk mail.</p>
<p>As for the hundreds of other ornaments and <a href="http://www.gifts.com/christmas/decorations">Christmas Decorations</a> that have been piling up in the hall closet, the secret to organization is easy.  Take time to snap a quick photo of the ornaments or other Christmas decorations that you&#8217;re packing away in a shoebox &#8211; then tape the photo to the outside of the box.  When the holiday season rolls around again, it&#8217;ll be a snap to locate your favorite ornaments, stockings, wreaths, and table décor without having to dig through mountains of tissue paper and bubble wrap!</p>
<p>Cleaning out and re-organizing your Christmas decorations is a great way to uncover Stocking Stuffers for next year, too!   All of the little Christmas knickknacks that were buried under piles of gift wrap and tinsel can be re-wrapped and gifted to friends, family and co-workers when you don&#8217;t need to give a big expensive gift, or just want lots of little things to pile up under the tree.  However you decide to tackle your post-holiday chores, make it more fun by turning on some Christmas carols and making time to flip through all of those priceless holiday photos.  After all, it&#8217;ll be Christmas again before you even know it!</p>
