It's the holidays! Such a beautiful time of year. Cool breezes, snow (rarely here in Birmingham), leaves falling, Christmas trees with glowing lights, maybe the crackling of a warm fire in a fireplace adorned with stockings. There may even be the bustle of children making smore's by it.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can easily create a distraction for people. However during this festive time, it is important to pay special attention to the things going on around you. The holiday season is considered peak season for burglars, pickpockets and shoplifters.
This is a holiday event I don't want to miss. 
I am blessed with a daughter-in-law who is wonderful and a friend as well. Every year we have what we call our "annual cookie-thon" for the holidays.

Hi Everyone, 
Real Estate Tip: No Smoking 
It seems that every year we get hit with opportunistic thieves and vandals entering our homes around the holidays when we are at work or Christmas Shopping or whatever. We are all vulnerable. 
Last night on the local fox news at 10:00 pm there was a report on the upcoming season being called Christmas or Holiday season. Which is correct? There is no correct answer just what the consumer believes in. Now a days the retailers have to be correct on their advertising so not … (10 comments)

The origin of Thanksgiving began in 1621 when American colonists in Plymouth, Massachusetts and the Wampanoag Indians shared the first Thanksgiving meal. Given some misnomers, we don't think the menu included today's traditional Thanksgiving meal favorites. Thanksgiving historians doubt that there was pumpkin pie (sugar and flour were not available) or … (2 comments)
