Customer Review: not as cute as pictured
I just received my order and I am disappointed. The material is not as it is pictured; it is not a soft material like it looks in this picture but rather that rigid "satin" that so many cheap Halloween costumes are made out of. Now that I look closer at the description, I do see that it says satin but it is a reach to use that term. Furthermore, the colors are not as portrayed. The costume I received is a green body with white stripes; the colors are not soft and pastel but more bright. It is also difficult for me to believe that the store will not accept any returns of Halloween costumes after September 16. I understand the need for a policy that costumes can't be returned, but so far in advance of the holiday? I guess it is still a cute costume but it is not what I imagined it would be. Maybe I will feel differently when I try it on our daughter and I will update this review later, but for now I am very disappointed.

Peter Pan Halloween Pet Costume

Customer Review: not really as pictured
I had high hopes for this costume, it looked like exactly what I needed from the picture. When I received it though, it was a bit different. The hat in the photo is cute, with both green and brown fabric, and looks large enough to go with the rest of the costume. In reality the hat is a tiny green beanie with a feather glued sloppily to the side. There is no brown band at all. Also, the collar on the main part is pictured as brown, but the one I received was green (although that's a pretty minor thing). I noticed the costume came with a tag with a photo showing the same one as shown on Amazon. Too bad it really doesn't look like that.

Where you throw your holiday office party helps to determine the type of business holiday party invitations, food, drinks, games and music you will need, establishing the tone for the entire event. Finding an available venue is hard enough without the added pressure of letting the space determine everything from corporate holiday party invitations to party favors, but in fact this process can be far simpler if you allow your venue to be your guide!

Letting your location determine the style of company holiday party invitation, decorations and favors you offer makes party planning as easy as choosing a venue. If you find a great little French bistro, for instance, simply send chic corporate holiday party invitations to a wine and cheese affair. If you prefer a rustic Italian eatery, select warm and festive business holiday party invitations evocative of the close atmosphere of a family-style feast. If you choose a beautiful ballroom for your event venue, opt for elegant, metallic silver and gold corporate holiday party invitations for a gorgeous gala feel.

Alternatively, if you host the party at your own home, send out friendly and fun company holiday party invitations, but be sure to maintain a hint of formality to separate your personal Christmas party from the business event.

Also, if the party is at a personal residence it is especially important to indicate on the corporate holiday party invitation what kind of food and drink guests can expect, ranging from a several course dinner to just appetizers and snacks.

Instead of stressing out over your search for the perfect location to match your holiday party theme, why not let this year's office holiday party be based around the perfect venue instead!

Addams Family Sexy Wednesday Adult Costume

Using Christmas lights to decorate for Halloween are a great way to get extra use out of colored lights you may already have in your attic. Pull them down and try discount store for more sets to fill in or for more variety in color, spacing, wire color and higher quality, check out online vendors early to find just the perfect sets.

Orange and purple mini light sets - both incandescent and LED versions - look fantastic when they're draped across shrubs and bushes. Tree branches and tree trunks will also appear festive yet spooky wrapped with mini lights. Decorating your yard for Halloween is perfect for the person who would like to leave his or her Christmas lights up for several months but can't (at least not technically!).

Fog machines are easily obtained online or from your local retail store. These machines are great for creating a smoky area around the doorway of your home. Outline your front door with orange and purple mini lights. They'll look really cool glowing through the smoke! Rope lights are the perfect choice for creating small or huge spider webs on a black background (a black piece of fabric from your local fabric store works great).

In the yard, use purple mini lights to outline gravestones for an eerie look. Then, use Christmas light stakes to string lights around the graveyard so it looks like a fence. To welcome your guests, line your sidewalk leading to your home with C7 or C9 transparent lights in orange and/or purple.

Haunted houses are a huge attraction during Halloween. Some people just love to be scared out of their wits! If your organization is setting up one of these October traditions, use opaque C7 and C9 or LED C7 and C9 bulbs and cords in purple or orange to cast an eerie glow anywhere you need it inside or outside the haunted house.

Outline coffins, creatures, black holes, dark doorways, or trap doors with our purple, orange or green mini lights. LED lights have the advantage of staying really cool so if you have alot fabric hanging with your lights, consider going that route.

Accent a plastic witches cauldron with red and orange mini lights that have a built in controller - set them on the slow fade function where they come on and go off very gradually and they'll look like glowing embers if you add a thin layer of black organza to your pot!

There's no limit to your imagination when it comes to using lights to decorate your home inside and out for Halloween. Just think of what would scare you!

Shellie Gardner, owner of Christmas Light Source, has a passion for Christmas lights and enjoys helping her customers make every occasion special with lights year 'round. With more than 450 different lights sets and bulbs to choose from, the friendly team at Christmas Light Source can help shoppers select the latest in decorative lighting from one of the widest varieties of LED and traditional Christmas lights available on the web.

Background behind the Nativity Scene

The nativity scene is a time honored tradition that is seen in many homes, and is an integrated part of Christian religions and the yuletide season. It is the representation of the Christ child usually placed in a manger with his mother Mary and father Joseph in a stable with some farm animals. The purpose of the nativity scene is to bring to mind the actual reason why Christmas is celebrated.as this is a physical representation of the birth of Christ.

The first three dimensional representation is credited to St. Francis of Assisi. The Jesuits of Prague in the year 1562 are attributed to the first modern crib style nativity scene. Santons are clay figurines used in the south of France, mainly Provence that are used to represent the nativity and can consist of hundreds of figurines rather than just the main set that is normally seen.

Through the use of the figurines placed with the crib empty until Christmas Eve, the Shepard on Christmas day, the three wise men on three kings day, the entire story of the birth of Christ can be told out with these representations. Depending on the area, a nativity scene may not be taken down until February or it may be removed as early as January 15. Of course, there are some who remove it right after Christmas. It depends on the particular traditions of the family or group putting up the nativity scene and how traditional they may be. The nativity scene is also a story and so often times a church or group will put on the Christmas time play of the Nativity. The story is of Mary and Joseph finding no rooms available, and Mary about to give birth, finding shelter in a humble barn, or cave, depending on the story, where Mary gives birth to Jesus.

A nativity scene usually consists of a barn or cave that is large enough to house the figurines that are going to be used. There is usually a small crib, a baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, various animals and it may or may not include the Magi or three wise men and the Shepard, angels, or the Star. The pieces usually vary based on the type of nativity scene and how complete it is, many people simply have a sheep, ox, the crib, barn, Mary and Joseph and Jesus.

The nativity scene has many different representations and can be crafted from any materials. From large plastic representations that can be lit from the inside and used as lawn decorations to small figurines made out of crystal, glass or stone. Nativity scenes can even be made out of modeling clay, paper or felt. They may be a picture, or a three dimensional representation. There are outdoor nativity scenes which are placed in front of homes, or much smaller Hummel or Fontanini nativity sets which can be placed on tables.

The nativity scene represents the birth scene of Christ and is an important symbol to the Christian faiths. It reminds people of the humble beginnings and that Christ was born to simple and humble people. It represents the important things in life and serves as a reminder of these things to the people who view it, as the nativity symbolizes the true meaning of Christmas.

Ghost hunting and paranormal investigations are becoming increasingly popular with amateur ghost hunters, in part due to the easy access of information on the internet and current television shows about hauntings. Since the spirit of Halloween revolves around the souls of the dead returning to earth to haunt the living, Halloween night is considering a "prime time" for hunting ghosts. It's an annual right of passage for both amateur and professional ghost hunters to be out in full gear that night.

Ghost Hunt - going to a location that may or may not be haunted and trying to capture them on film (video and/or photos). A graveyard late at night is the number one place to start.

Ghost Investigation - going to a known haunted place and recording data (video, photos, audio and temperatures), taking notes, interviews and other evidence to prove/disprove the haunting and existence of ghosts.

For many the quest is to seek out allegedly haunted locations, authenticate evidence of ghosts, do research and conduct investigations into paranormal activity. Among ghost hunters, some are also devotees of urban exploration, a growing hobby where enthusiasts venture into abandoned structures such as hospitals, asylums, and sanatoriums. The more experienced hunters investigate and document reports of ghosts, hauntings and paranormal activity; where as many of the amateur ghost hunters are just out to have fun.

The definition of a "haunting" is a recurring presence of a ghost, demon, or similar supernatural being at a specific place. Old houses, hotels, restaurants, pubs, prisons, cemeteries and graveyards are the most common haunted places. Belief in hauntings and ghosts spans the world and is recorded throughout history in legends and ghost stories.

There are five primary types of hauntings:

1. Intelligent - may be a ghost or demon. The entity is aware of its surroundings, including living people who may be present.
2. Residual - the entity does not seem to be aware of any living beings and performs the same repetitive act (often the reenactment of a tragic event).
3. Benevolent - a ghost that seeks to help or protect the living sometimes from an evil spirit.
4. Malevolent - ghost or demon that seeks to inflict harm on the living.
5. Benign - entity that is either unconcerned about the living or unaware of their presence.

What better time of year than Halloween to check out some of the "hauntings" in your neck of the woods! Whether you're a more experienced paranormal investigator or just out for a night of ghost hunting, the souls of the dead are waiting for you on Halloween night. Good luck and happy haunting!

The holidays are quickly approaching, which means you will soon be facing temptation - stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, pecan pie, Christmas cookies, chocolate, and many more holiday favorites just begging to be eaten. How can you resist?

For most people the holidays mean loosening the belt buckle and making room for a few extra pounds to start the New Year. Many people will work to lose this weight over the next few months while others will watch the scale creep up year after year. This is definitely one holiday tradition to be avoided.

Here are some tips to help you enjoy the holiday fare without sacrificing your waistline.

Portion Control

There is no law that says your plate has to be overflowing at the holidays. Yes, the options are endless and you may want to have some of everything; however, you do not need a normal portion size of everything. This is a good time to cut your normal servings in half to make room for all the extra foods you want and prevent you from carrying the extra calories around for weeks to come.

Seconds

Before heading back to the buffet line or asking someone to pass the potatoes listen to your body. Are you really hungry or just eating more because everyone is still sitting around the table? If your stomach says "no more" start helping with cleanup to avoid the temptation to fill another plate or suggest moving away from the table to continue your conversation.

Desserts

Undoubtedly there will be numerous goodies to chose from. You have two options to avoid calorie overload. Decide which dessert is your favorite and stick with one serving or if several are tempting give yourself "mini" servings of each so you can sample a little of everything without going overboard.

Alcohol

Decide in advance when you will enjoy a drink, for example after dinner only. If you have a plan in place you are less likely to go overboard. One alcoholic beverage quickly adds 200-300 extra calories.

Snacks

Often when we sit around visiting there is a bowl of candy or some other treat nearby. Limit yourself to one or two pieces. If this is not feasible move the treats out of reach or out of sight if necessary. Another option is to wait and have your dessert as an afternoon snack instead of immediately following a meal. Healthier snack choices include mixed nuts, almond bark covered pretzels, or party Chex mix.

Activity

Holidays are intended as a time to spend with family. That does not mean you have to sit all day visiting. You can catch up on what is going on in each others lives when taking a walk after lunch or shooting a game of hoops in the driveway. Look at where your family is gathering and decide what options you have to get up and moving after a filling holiday meal. It is a safe bet that the children at your holiday gathering will not be entertained sitting and visiting or watching a ball game most of the day. Take a break from the adults in the afternoon to interact with younger family members. This will give you a chance to add some physical activity to your holiday.

The holidays are a time for family and friends as well as all the delicious holiday foods. I do not recommend spoiling your holiday fun by trying to count calories. By following a few simple tips you can reduce your normal holiday intake while still enjoying all the foods you like and avoid adding inches to your waistline.
