I am overwhelmed at the choices (scotch, pine, fir, blue, etc.) I don’t like slim trees and I would like it to be easy to decorate. Any thoughts? Keep in mind, I am talking of an artificial tree. Thanks!
I did go and look at them at Lowe’s and they had a big selection. I felt a few of them calling to me. So I’d like to know what kind everyone owns and why they like it?
i say go into a store and look at the trees. it’s like when your starring at something you know you have to have, you’ll feel that a certain tree is calling to you.
with artificial trees you have to primp and twist and pull to get desired effect
Michael’s has a good variety but can be pricey, so look there get the name and find it else where.
I use to have one and I haven’t been able to find it for years. The cookies were so good. I think about them every Christmas and would love to make them this Christmas. Any recipes will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My question is under the holiday and Christmas category so there is nothing wrong with my question. Never thought I would get grief for my question, all I’m asking for is a recipe .

3/4 cup soft butter
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

* This makes 30 servings, and was personally tried a few years ago. Its a great recipe, was a favourite at home till they got hooked on to the store bought ones! Hope this helps, and Merry Christmas in advance since you’re obviously very much in the spirit ;D!

Pumpkin Fritters, Traditional South African Recipe
4 servings 12 fritters 30 min 30 min prep
2 cups cooked pumpkin, dry (see note below)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder (not soda)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
oil (for frying)
cinnamon sugar, if used
Put all the dry ingredients in a processor.
If not using a processor, put in a mixing bowl, and mix well.
Add the eggs, and process well until a thick batter forms — or mix well in the mixing bowl. The batter should almost hold its shape when tested with a spoon.
If the batter is too stiff, add a tiny amount of milk. If by any chance it is runny, add more flour (shouldn’t happen!).
Heat oil in a pan, using medium to high heat to start with.
Scoop up heaped tablespoons of batter, and drop into pan, but not too close together. You won’t have huge fritters as some of the batter will stay clinging to the spoon.
Fry until firm and golden on the underside, then flip over and fry on other side.
(You could use a non-stick pan and not use oil or butter, but a little oil is preferable).
The fritters will puff up slightly and keep their shape, but will deflate a bit as you take them out of the pan. To test for doneness, press very lightly on the fritters. When done, they will tend to spring back. If still uncertain, press harder: no batter should run out the sides.
Serve warm, either as a side dish, or as a dessert with plenty of crunchy cinnamon-flavoured sugar.
NOTE 1: The pumpkin MUST be dry. We do not have canned pumpkin in South Africa, and would use home-cooked pumpkin. Whatever: drain very well, or cook the pumpkin in a pot without a lid until all water has evaporated.
NOTE 2: I do not know if your canned pumpkin is sweetened. If so, don’t add sugar — it’s your choice.
NOTE 3: I specified yellow sugar, which Zaar’s format does not recognise. Use brown or white if no yellow granulated sugar available.
…what is a good web site for easy to make home made christmas ornaments??? I need some that arent hard and dont require alot of money
would like some fun things to do with my 5 year old son..christmas is gonna be hard this year..running low on cash..but still wanna make it fun for my son.
Paper mache. Try taking small balloons like the water ones you can get. Blow them up just a bit so there like the size of an ornament and tie it.
Then mix flour and water together in a bowl to make the mache.
Rip up newspaper into long lengthwise strips.
Take a newspaper strip and dip it into the mache and lay it down around the balloon.Keep putting strips on until the balloon is coverd at least once, maybe even twice making it all as smooth as possible.Leave the tip where you tied up the balloon out so that you can tie a loop of fishing line like string or whatever you have that will work to hang it on the tree later.
Let them dry fully.
When there dry the newspaper all around should feel hardend.
Then have fun painting them or even taking nice fabrics of your choice that you can wrap around tightly and glue/sew, etc.
Thats it.
Also try making other things with the paper mache. Like snowmen (3 balloons on top of eachother) or just see what else you can use to shape different things.Be creative and have fun.
Im sure you guys will be just fine this christmas.Remember its what you make of it and the spirit that you feel and portray.
Dont forget to see if theres any holiday events in your city that is free to the public.
I used to only give christmas presents to my family members because most of my close friends don’t even celebrate Christmas.
However, last year, a group of pretty close friends (who do, celebrate Christmas) gave me presents and I feel obliged to give them something this year.
There’s about 12 of them. I can handle giving 2-3 people presents. But with 12 of them (15 including my family), I don’t think I can spend the time and money to buy them each ‘thoughtful’ gifts.
Any ideas on how I can handle this?
Last year i made all of my friends snickerdoodles and gave some of them candy canes and i bought one of those things from Bath & Body that has like ten little lotions in it and gave one to each of my friends. Bath & Body also has tons of little things that make great gifts. Hope this helps!
Would it be better to use the christmas lights that come in tinted shades and give off a soft light orange light as opposed to white light or other colors? I don’t want it to look like a Christmas decoration/theme or look tacky. Also, what are some safety precautions to keep in mind when decorating with them? Are they a fire hazard if draped over fabric, for instance?
I have often decorated tall indoor plants with those tiny white lights. They give off a soft light that doesn’t look particularly Christmasy. I usually leave them on throughout the nite as they light the way to other parts of the house when all is dark in the middle of the night.
I wouldn’t use them over fabric for any length of time as they might scorch the fabric if it came into direct contact.
