How do racers celebrate Christmas? Does the celebration have something to do with speed? Well, let’s hear it straight from the stars of racing series…"My best Christmas gift ever was probably when I got my first motorcycle! I was about nine years old and my parents got me an '84 Honda CR80. Only problem was that I couldn't come close to touching the ground when I sat on it. My dad had made a special lower seat for me (by basically cutting away all the padding) so it had a real 'unique' look to it that could never be mistaken. I was sort of thinking that I might get a CR60 but I think my dad thought that it wouldn't have enough horsepower! Anyway, I had lots of good times on that bike and learned some valuable lessons as well. That thing was a screamer!" said Alex Gurney, 2007 Daytona P

I know that your nerdy boyfriend or son (probably son) has been dropping hints about two 2GB sticks of DDR2 (even though he has the 32 bit version of Windows XP), a second Geforce 8800GTX (11,000 3DMark06!), or Urza's Destiny Booster Box.

But this Christmas, I thought I'd focus on the useful- things he needs, but probably wouldn't get for himself- as well as some things that would encourage interaction with real people:

2. A toothbrush (Anime).

Here's a really simple last minute idea for Christmas gifts that can easily be made with kids. Cole and I made some book thongs for relatives too far away to see over the holidays-aunts, cousins, and a long distance Grandma. They take minutes to make and and look really pretty.
Materials:
Glass beads - assorted colors and sizes
Seed beads - either to match or contrast your glass beads
Waxed beading cotton
Clear nail varnish or beading cement
1. Take a length of waxed cotton that is around 6 inches longer than the length of the average book.
2. Tie a knot in one end and pull it tight so that it forms a small, tight knot.
3. Thread a seed bead onto the cotton and push it down so that it partly covers the knot.
4. Thread several glass beads in colors of your choice onto the thread. About 2-3 in descending sizes should look nice. Follow by another seed bead (or 2 or 3) -I like to use contrasting colored ones to the glass beads.
5. Tie a knot and push it down so that it sits

Miss Stocking Mr. Present Dick Van ElfLast night, three blog gifts, Mr.Present, Miss Stocking, and Dick Van Elf, arrived on A Nice Place In The Sun. You can imagine my surprise when I saw the three of them on my landing page...I wish more gifts were as thoughtful, then I would never have to shop again. Anyway, they've asked me to give them as Christmas or holiday gifts to the best blogs in the blogosphere.Mr. Present wants to be given to a blog where he can unwrap, Miss Stocking just wants somewhere to hang, and Dick Van Elf wants a blog with a chimney to sweep where he can laugh, dance, and sing. I told them I thought I could find plenty of blogs to accommodate their wishes, although Dick Van Elf wasn't happy to hear that blogs don't have chimneys.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh… Almost the whole world is waiting for the Christmas day; day of huge happiness, day when we make gifts and get ours. In most areas, Christmas Day is the least active day of the year for business and commerce; almost all retail, commercial and institutional businesses are closed, and almost all industries cease activity. Christmas is so close and there are no ideas about your choice of present.

Christmas ‘tis the season of giving, as they say. So with this template we wanted to create a design that celebrates that exact aspect of Christmas.
This new theme, titled “Christmas Gifts”, has a fairly clean and simple look with a beautiful header and a red & green color scheme.
The header graphic depicts, what else, but Christmas gifts of course. The left side of the header shows the lower portion of a Christmas tree surrounded by beautifully wrapped presents.
The right side of the header shows a close-up of two more elegantly wrapped gifts, stylishly poking past the border of the graphic.
In the center is a white, glowing silhouette of Santa Claus and his reindeer passing in front of the moon as they fly through the sky. Just below the image of Santa, written in the graceful font known as Edwardian Script, is the old saying, ‘Tis the Season of Giving.
As with our previous Christmas theme (Vermillion Christmas), this theme provides:

As a follow up to my earlier post of TOP CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR 2006 I have decided to put together a listing of what I believe, will be among the Top 10 Christmas Gifts or Presents for 2006 when looking back on this season.
Individuality will hopefully define the choices made with specific reference to likes/dislikes of the person being gifted. That said, here are my selections, again in no particular order, for everyone in 2006.
As it is readily apparent there are plenty more than 10 ideas listed below, however among this list are possibly the resulting Top 10 Xmas Gifts for 2006. I guess we won't really know until 2007 when it's all said and done!
1. Board games (Trivial Pursuit, 24 DVD, Blokus, DaVinci's Challenge, Brew-opoly, Scene-it?, Deal or No Deal)
2. Video Games (NFL/NHL/NBA 2007
A question for readers who have big families: do you buy Christmas presents for everyone, and if so, how generous are you?
I ask because my family used to be tiny so I bought a generous present for everyone. Total budget: $200ish.
Then I got married and gained all of Mr Bargain Queen’s huge extended family: two parents, two brothers, stepmother, three step-siblings, grandmother, aunt and a bunch of adorable step-nieces and -nephews.
Then I was reunited with my father and gained five brothers, a stepmother and many adorable nieces and nephews of my own.
I now have ten times as many family members and I have no idea what to do. Should I buy everyone a present? Should I only buy the kids presents? Is it OK to buy little joke presents instead of big generous ones?
If you have a large family and want to share some tips about how Christmas works for you, I’d really appreciate it!
It’s snowing in Hawaii!
Well, okay . . . not really.
Every year, on the first weekend in December, we go to see a local holiday production called The Christmas Gift of Aloha. It’s Girlie Girl’s favorite and she makes me play the soundtrack over and over again. This year they had fake snow falling during the performance. It’s the closest we’ll get to the real thing! It was pretty cool, though. We were covered in it!
Here is a short (1 minute) video of one of the songs called Magic of Aloha.
This year I decided to plan ahead and bought tickets for her to ride on a train that’s in a parade following the show. They go on sale early in the morning about a month in advance. Boy, the things we do for our kids. It was totally worth it, though. When we were driving home, she said, “Mommy, this is my best day ever.”

Three years ago I tried to realign my kids' view of Christmas from receiving to giving by encouraging them to make gifts. After they made a list of recipients I helped them come up with ideas and gave them five dollars for supplies. It was successful enough to have become tradition. Here are some of our favorites:13. Covers and cases. Almost everyone has collections, toys or gadgets that they use regularly that can benefit from a case or cover. The kids have sewn felt squares together to make a cases for digital cameras, laptops, Lillian's Fashion Pollys, or the boys' laser tags equipment. I think Martha copied her idea here from me. It's a good thing for them to make because 1. it gets them thinking about the other person's likes/hobbies and 2. sewing is a good skill to practice.12. Flower pots. Paint terra cotta pots or cover them with tiny pieces of tiles, buttons and pieces of glass to make a mosaic. Beautiful and useful.11. Books on tape. For a good gift for siblings

Keep Checking Back Throughout The Season!We plan to add something new to the list every couple of days! We want our offering to be hassle-free, and not just another gimmick to get hits or whatever! There are no long forms, no selling out five friends email addesses, no buy this one at regular price then get this one 'free'. No there will be none of that with our holiday gift giving. We want you and your friends to grab all the gifts you personally want, read them, use them and then come back for more latter! Now if you would like to do business with people who don't play dopey sales games some time latter... Then we would be honored, but that is not the reason we are giving holiday gifts. So we had hoped that a group of you would get together and discuss our best seller 'the call to prayer' that we are now giving away for free. Well maybe soon! If we could help we would be glad to, just ask us. But for now-Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
