Christmas is Almost Here

How's everyone? how was your weekend? I had a great weekend with my husband doing a lot of things in the house. It was great since we made a lot in teh house. Today we made a little relaxing and went walking in the afternoon. It is a very cold weather outside. Not a lot of snow anymore since it is slowly melting. I guess you know already what day is today? It is the first Sunday of advent. Christmas is almost coming! Last week as I bought some medicine, the drugstore already gave me some calendars as Christmas present. I would have wish they will give me some promotional pens since I also collect different pens. I receive some pens from our bank last year. Oh yeah, I already have a lot of pens but I just love collecting them. Cool hobby huh!! If you need some promotional items, US Imprints is the best site for you!! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Happy Thanksgiving day!!

Wishing all of you a happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving day especially to American friends!! God bless and more blessings to come!!

Thanksgiving in United States
www.wikipedia.org

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, at the end of the harvest season, is an annual American Federal holiday to express thanks for one's material and spiritual possessions.

Most people celebrate by gathering at home with family or friends for a holiday feast. Though the holiday's origins can be traced to harvest festivals which have been celebrated in many cultures since ancient times, the American holiday has religious undertones related to the deliverance of the English settlers by Native Americans after the brutal winter at Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The period from Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day often is called the holiday season.

Some House Improvements

Long time no see from this site of mine..Sorry guys, I am just soooo busy. Sometimes I don't know what to do first. There are just a lot of things to do now especially some household chores everyday. In short I am just very busy both in my online and offline line. And yes, I call myself sometimes "a busy body". As I was cleaning the other room that was emptied two weeks ago, I found out that some wood flooring are getting bad. I mentioned it to my husband so that he can repair it once he got time. I also suggested if we can have hard woods there next time. The idea and products at Build Direct is just so amazing that I am hoping our new floor in our sleeping room will also be changed to hard wood. We only got some laminated woods and I believed true hard woods are always the best. It would be some great house improvements we can do from time to time.

WW: Meeting My Tita

I finally met my Tita in Madame Tussauds in London...toink!! joke only!!

Helping People While Shopping

I did shopped in England. I was surprised that you can see a lot of second hand stores or shops that sells different kinds of goods like clothings, books, dvd's, furniture, shoes and so many more. The best thing with these shops I went into is that through their sales they help poor people from different parts of the world by supporting some organizations. I bought some items at OXFam in Birmingham. I believed by shopping through their shops, we can also help other people in one way or another. This is also the aim of this site www.einegutesache.de. You can also visit aGoodCause.com for more information. Shop now and at the same time help other people too!!
