Holidays

Wrapping gifts is just not a skill that I have. I have never been good at it and I understand that it's just one of those things I will not ever be good at. So, seeing this video of beautifully wrapping gifts in just seconds makes my blood boil...

Video games and Apple products always seem to be at the top of wish lists around the holidays but not this year.

According to the good folks over at Missoula Events, here are this week's family friendly holiday activities happening in Missoula. Don't forget to keep an eye on the ZACC as well, they typically have fun ornament crafting projects each Saturday...

You can help keep Montanans warm this winter by donating your old coats and boots at Bob Wards locations around the state. I bet for those of us clothes lovers we could find at least one coat we don't need right?

We are rushing everywhere and making sure we don't forget anything during this holiday season. It is very stressful!

The idea of being single or “alone” during the holidays might be a bummer to some people. But, it shouldn’t be. There are plenty of reasons it’s great to be single during the holidays.

I know it may seem a little early to be discussing Valentine’s Day but it’s coming, ready or not. I thought I would do a public service and help the gentlemen of Missoula out a little bit by letting them know what not to get their ladies. I figure if I can give you guys enough of a heads up, you will have enough time to find her something that she won’t be disappointed with.

I’m going to begin by saying that I dearly love my family. Doesn’t everyone love their families? There is nothing better than getting together for holidays and spending time with the people you love, but rarely get to see.

There is a lot of baking that goes on in my house during the Christmas season. Whether it is with the kids, by myself, with family members or with friends, baking is a great way to enjoy the holidays. Not only is making these holiday goodies fun, it is also satisfying. For your belly that is.

I don’t usually watch movies, not because I don’t like them, but because I don’t have much free time to do so. However, the holidays are different. During our brief break from sports, school and work, my family and I love to watch Christmas movies...

Every year at this time my shopping cart and my house are filled with Christmas candy. There are just some holiday treats I can’t make, or just refuse to because they are perfect just the way they are. Don’t believe me, just try to make any one of my favorites better. I bet you can’t.

There’s nothing like the holiday season.  There are so many ways to get involved in the festive spirit.
