What is holidays: Definition and 59 Discussions

I did pretty well. There were only 1 or 2 days where I was a little crabby.

Look at this - a parody with a real meaning. I hate traveling at Christmas - although some of you may recall that I was one of about three guests in a hotel last Christmas Eve. Rooms are pretty easy to get.

We are a family. A family so diverse that I could never even imagine how many ethnic groups, religions or beliefs are out there. So as I do not wish to offend, this is a general wish for all! I simply wish everyone here and your families a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season and...

I was reading breifly on who and what to tip for the holidays and was wondering if everyone does so? It listed people like, the pool guy, postal guy/gal, newspaper deliverer, hair dresser, house keeper and package delivery carrier, etc. etc. Do you all tip these service people every year...

Does anyone have a good template that would work to email men to remind them that shopping with PC for the holidays is a great option? I don't have wish lists for most people so I don't want that. Just a great format for an email to the guys.

My December schedule has VANISHED. It really sucks but I know EVERYONE is busy. What would be your BEST suggestion to make something out of nothing around the holidays? I don't want to "bug" my customers so I would love one or two ideas that are almost guaranteed to be fantastic. Thanks...

My host this weekend wants me to demo the batter bowl brownies for her Homemade for the Holidays show. She also wants something savory, and I also want to sell more cookware. The hitch is it's in another state, so I'm limited to bringing either my 8" Exec or SS pan - anything else would be too...

I really love this theme & plan on doing it for most of my Nov & Dec shows. But I'm kind of stuck with coming up a show outline for it, what food to have & how to still get in my cookware, etc. talks. I was thinking, especially in November, of making the micro cake in the coffee & more cups...

Has anyone made a flyer for Homemade for the Holidays yet. I like the look of the one on CC, but can't work with Adobe well. I am going to offer a booklet with recipe ideas at my November and December shows and would welcome any good gift ideas... (I enjoyed the prep bowl ideas thread)...

Ok so here's my idea.. let me know if you think it's worth my time. I'm going to email and mail (mini catalogs) to everyone who has been to a show or hosted a show with me. (it's not a TON of people as I am fairly new and haven't had a whole lot of success with shows at this point) Anyway I...

Hi Everyone~ I just got an e-mail from Vista Print with big time savings on postcards. I wondered if any of you send out pre-holiday postcards offering a holiday sale or anything like that. I was thinking of maybe making up a postcard offering 10% off if they order their holiday gifts...
