5 Cool Halloween Party Games For Kids

Every Halloween party needs Halloween party games. A couple games are usually enough to keep your guests entertained. If you overdo it and have too many games planned you may actually harm the flow of your party.

Games should be age appropriate. You should consider the group you are working with. If you are having a child's party your Halloween party games are going to be fairly short so you will need a few more to keep the attention of your young guests.

1. Some fun games for children's parties can include a hay maze to get the kids lost in. A few treats along the way to be found like prizes are always a big hit. Your maze can be made with bales of hay or you can have a cornfield maze. Whatever way you plan the maze it is usually a hit with kids.

2. Scavenger hunting is another great Halloween party game. Kids love these, and so do adults. You can start off with one clue and have your group seek the next clue or you can give them multiple clues at once and really blow their minds.

3. Mummies are fun at Halloween parties. A fun Halloween party game can include making a mummy with toilet paper or gauze. You can have a contest to see which team can make their member into a mummy faster.

4. Passing the pumpkin under your chin is another fun game. You do not want to use full size pumpkins. In fact, you may want to use an apple instead of a pumpkin. Get your group in a line and everyone clasps their hands behind their own back. The fruit is passed under the chin of the members of the group in a line and hands cannot touch the fruit. The first team to get their pumpkin to the end of the line wins. Of course, if you drop the pumpkin you have to start over.

5. Build a scarecrow, pin the art on the witch, guess the ghost, and bobbing for apples are al fun games to keep your group entertained. Traditional Halloween party games can include pumpkin carving. You can have a contest. This is always a good way to get creative with your party. You can give prizes for many different categories.

Whatever party ideas you have let your imagination go wild and modify the game to fit your group. Halloween is a day to be creative and let your hair down. Enjoy it while you can.

Cute Infant Halloween Costumes

When you're deciding among newborn costumes, take a moment to think about whether you prefer a bunting -- which will cover those little feet on a cold evening -- or a dress or pants and shirt. The right answer depends on how cold it is where you live, what your baby tends to prefer, and what you tend to prefer.

The ideas for newborn costumes are without limit. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

1. Baby Tomato: You can buy a costume or make one at home. If you choose to make one, get a red bunting or red pants and top. You can make seeds from felt and place them on the front of the tomato outfit. A little hat will top off the costume and look adorable at the same time. With green felt, you can make a stem and attach it to the red hat with a few moments of sewing.

2. Baby Super Girl or Super Boy: Use red knee high socks, a cape, and a light blue outfit to make this costume. With felt, you can cut out the letter "B" (for a boy) or the letter "G" (for a girl) and attach it to the chest of the costume with thread. The sewing is so easy even I could do it.

3. Baby Carrot: An orange bunting and cap make for an easy infant carrot costume. Use green felt to make leaves and attach them to the orange cap with thread. This is such an easy costume to make and will look cute at the same time.

Be sure to take a lot of photographs so you can share the memories with your little one when he or she grows up. Halloween offers a fun time to become someone or something different for an evening and to exercise our creativity whether we make or buy a costume.

Give Her the Perfect Valentine's Day

Most women expect to have their Valentine's Day present given to them usually over dinner. What your girl will not expect to get is a full days worth of surprises. This will work only if both of you have the day off. This might be something that you want to plan ahead of time so the two of you can take vacation days from work so you can enjoy the entire day together.

Once you have the day to spend together alone, you should start the day out by surprising her with breakfast in bed. You can make it something simple yet elegant. Make her favorite breakfast or go with something simple like her favorite take out. The whole point is to get up before she wakes and wake her with her breakfast in bed. After breakfast you can spend the morning together lounging in bed or take a stroll through the park where you can treat her to a picnic if you live where the weather is warm. If not you can take her somewhere romantic for a quaint little lunch.

If you opt for a picnic, you can go to any supermarket and have them pack up a fried chicken meal already prepared for a wonderful picnic lunch in the park. All you need to bring is the blanket to lie on and the utensils. Don't forget to bring something special to drink and pick a secluded spot to give you and her some privacy. If it is a cold area then make your living room into a romantic picnic. She will love the effort and spontaneity.

After your romantic lunch, do something fun such as taking in a movie together that she has wanted to see. Depending where you live you can have fun in the sun or go ice skating. No matter what you choose make sure it is something that the two of you can do together. You can make it something that the two of you have never tried before. Roller skating, ice skating or if you are both really into sports take in a laser tag game where you can battle each other.

Finish off the day with a romantic dinner for two either at home (where you cook the meal) or at her favorite restaurant. You can even surprise her with reservations at a top of the line place that she has always wanted to try. Once dinner is over then you can spoil her by finishing off her day by giving her the perfect bubble bath. This will give her a day she will never forget.

Dog Dressing Tips

Be Patient

If you have never dressed your pup in clothes before, you should not wait until Halloween night to do this. Instead, start now. If you have a costume in mind, go buy it and try to put a piece of it on your pet. Usually, the first piece people try is the main costume. As soon as you get it on, your pet may start to fight you. Praise him for looking great and pet him in a way that makes it harder for him to get out of his costume. You may have to give a lot of attention, but most dogs will eventually start to equate your happiness with them wearing these items.

When you are tacking on hats and other small extra pieces of clothing, you may need even more patience. This concept makes no sense to your pooch and may take a lot of work to make them get used to it.

Add a piece at a time until you are able to put the whole costume on your pet. Then keep doing it until Halloween so they don't get out of the habit and change their mind when you are ready to go out.

Does he like it?

Some animals are not going to like the idea of being put in clothes, no matter what you try. At some point you just have to give it up. It is not worth hurting your dog or making your pet unhappy just for a few moments of frivolity. Enjoy his friendship and love on the levels he can give and give the dog clothes to someone else.

With the upcoming holiday, the fun and games can sometimes be overwhelming, yet at the same time exhilarating. For medical professionals though, this time of year means that there will be an increase in burn injury cases. In fact, according to national reports most fireworks accidents in the United States occur around the Fourth of July season.

Even with the smaller, less intense fireworks devices, operators can be severely injured if they are not careful. Sparklers can reach temperatures of up to 1800 degrees and burn dangerously close to the hand, the longer it is lit.

There are over 10,000 reported injuries per year and 40% of those injuries occur with children between the ages of 10-14 years. During this time in their lives, they are much more likely to take unnecessary risk, sometimes without knowing that the risk is there. Here are a few tips from the National Council on Fireworks Safety to help prevent your Fourth of July holiday from being a disaster.

1. Always have water handy

No matter how big or small the firework, it is always a good idea to have water handy. If a fire breaks out, you will be able to get rid of it before it gets out of hand. It is also get for putting out the smoldering pieces of a previously launched firework.

2. Do not alter or combine fireworks

Many people get the bright idea that perhaps if they combined fireworks, the combination would make for a much more spectacular explosion. And while this might very well be the case, it can lead to dangerous mixtures and larger-than-expected explosions.

3. Never relight a dud

Relighting fireworks that have already been lit is just a bad idea. The individual lighting the dud most likely doesn't know how much powder is still left in the device or how explosive it is.

4. Alcohol and Fireworks do not mix

Alcohol and Fireworks, aside from alcohol and driving, is probably one of the worst combinations for celebration. Studies show that alcohol slows reaction time and overall response to external stimulus. It increases confidence and perceived capability. This combination equals more risk taking, with a slower response time in case something bad happens.

Be sure to contact your local area fire marshal for more ways to stay save during the summer holiday. Avoid using fireworks that do not have warning labels on them as they may be dangerous. If you would like more information regarding burn injuries, visit www.burnvictiminjurylawyers.com.

Men's Canadian Mountie Halloween Costume

At the center of the Christmas season is spending time with family. Making lasting memories with your family is at the top of every to-do list during the holiday season. There are many festive activities to bring into your family life so Christmas is more memorable and fun for everyone. Traditional activities and out of the box ideas make the holidays super-special.

Christmas Memories and Traditions

Take a few minutes to remember your own childhood and how you spent the Christmas season at home. Do certain memories stand out as special in your mind? These are probably the Christmas traditions your own parents created for the family. Now it's time to create memorable Christmas traditions in your own home. Make gingerbread houses together. Decorate holiday cookies. Are you short on time but still recall the delicious smell in your mom's kitchen at Christmas time? Simmer potpourri to create a warm aroma in your home even if you don't have time to bake very often.

Christmas Fun In The Kitchen

Maybe baking just isn't your thing. There are still plenty of fun Christmas activities to do in the kitchen. You can make all kinds of gift items in the kitchen without baking. Make chocolate covered pretzel sticks and chocolates. Pair the chocolate treats with homemade hot cocoa mix to give as Christmas gifts.

Christmas Music

Include music in your family holiday traditions. Have fun with your family singing Christmas carols and making your own CD for the holidays. Use the recording of your family singing carols as holiday music every year while you decorate and enjoy Christmas festivities. Get really crafty and dress up the CD cases to look attractive so you can give them as gifts.

Cutting Down The Christmas Tree

A timeless tradition for many families is cutting down the Christmas tree. This activity adds a lot to the Christmas season at home. You can find Christmas tree farms just about everywhere. Ask a local grower's group for tree farm locations near you. The family shows up at the farm where mom or dad grab a saw to cut down the family Christmas tree. Everyone hunts for the perfect tree so mom or dad can cut it down and bring it home. Some farms are large and some are small. You may only need to walk a short distance to find the perfect tree or you may wind up hiking up and down hills before the right tree turns up.

More Than A Christmas Tree

Add dimension and fun to the Christmas tree cutting activity. Include additional family traditions in the day, such as lunch at a special place every year. You can also get Christmas candy to eat in the car on the way home with your tree. Another tradition can be shopping together for new ornaments after you bring the tree home and put it in a bucket of water.

Community Christmas Fun

Traditions are also created when you participate in annual community events. Does your town decorate a Christmas tree every year? Does your neighborhood have a block where all the homes are decorated with hundreds of holiday lights? Drive or walk to local Christmas festivities and make them part of your family traditions every year. Try to walk if the weather permits so you have more time to observe the detailed holiday decorations together.

Christmas Cocoa

For kids and adults alike, hot cocoa is an essential part of the holiday season. Start a family tradition of making hot cocoa mix at the beginning of the season. The children can each have a small cup of cocoa every night before bed during the month of December. As Christmas Day gets closer, add special goodies to the hot cocoa such as whipped cream and mini-marshmallows. Leave a cup of homemade hot cocoa for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

Christmas In Every Room

As your children get older, they enjoy decorating their rooms for Christmas. Add holiday cheer to every room when you encourage your children to decorate their own space. Let them do all the decorating themselves then take photos of them in their finished rooms. Look at the photos every year to see how the Christmas decorations in their rooms have progressed.

One last thing -- Imagine the look on your child's face if they received a personalized letter from Santa Claus in the North Pole. You can also include extra goodies with the Santa letter like Reindeer food. It's a gift that makes a strong and lasting impression.

Not all Halloween festivities can be participated in by toddlers. That does not mean, however, that toddlers have to be completely uninvolved in the fun. They are sure to want to wear their own Halloween costume, even if they are not able to go trick-or-treating.

Remember that toddlers tend to be sensitive to a lot of the scary sights of Halloween. Although older kids love the thought of terrifying their neighbors with gruesome or spooky costumes, toddlers could be really frightened by seeing such things. That means that parents need to make sure that their toddlers are well cared for while participating in Halloween events.

Toddlers and very small children usually have some kind of movie, book, or cartoon character that is especially treasured to them. Dressing up as this character could make Halloween a definite source of fun for such toddlers. Looking cute dressed up as their favorite cartoon character will appeal to toddlers much more than scaring people with ghost or vampire costumes.

There are some characters that seem to be rather timeless favorites of many toddlers. For example, Mickey Mouse, Scooby Doo, Superman, Spiderman, and Batman will always be popular with young kids. Your toddler, though, might have a different character in mind, depending on what happens to be popular at the moment.

Even if the costume itself is not of the highest quality, your toddler will love it if it allows them to become one of their favorite characters. That means that, in order to choose correctly, you need to pay attention to which characters really fascinate your children when you read them stories or when they watch television and movies.

Toddler costumes of popular characters are not difficult to find at all, both for sale and rent. The price of the costume will depend on its quality. You can find cheap plastic costumes as well tremendously detailed ones that are less cheap. While trying to decide which costume is best for your toddler, you also need to think about which costumes will be safest. Stay away from outfits that are flammable, for example.

Since candles are a common part of most Halloween decorations, being cautious when choosing a costume is in your best interests. You don't want to have to worry that your child might be in danger.

One word of warning about renting costumes for toddlers: If your child really loves the idea of dressing up as their favorite character, you might have an especially difficult time getting them to let you return the costume.

Lil' Penguin Elite Collection Infant/Toddler Costume

Includes: Lined zippered bodysuit with bow tie, attached tail, booties and hood with top hat.

When shopping for your kid's Halloween, consider an Iron Man costume. There's a good natured-story behind it that you may be able to teach your child.

This year, Iron Man was the movie that kicked off the superhero summer blockbusters. We followed how the genius playboy industrialist, Tony Stark, became Iron Man after escaping from a terrorist group. The origination of Iron Man was similar in the comic books. But instead of a terrorist group, he had to escape capture from the Vietnamese during Vietnam War. In both cases, an ordinary man was able to become a superhero through trying times with no particular super power.

At first glance, Iron Man may seem a fit to what we consider as a superhero in our culture. He can fly. He can lift very heavy things, like a car, and toss them. He can withstand bullets and many forms of weapons. Truly, as a super hero, Ironman is as powerful as they get. But behind the costume is just a man.

But what a powerful concept to inspire your kids! A man who overcame obstacles much more powerful than him. A man was resourceful enough to come up with a solution that kept himself alive. A man disciplined in the sciences so that he can create extraordinary devices with limited supply of raw materials.

In the comic books, Iron Man was a founding member a superhero group called the Avengers, dubbed as Earth's mightiest heroes. The original Avengers included Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, the Hulk, and Iron Man. Of all these members, Iron Man was the only who does not have special powers.

Ant-Man and Wasp were able to change their sizes from insect to giant (100 ft). The Wasp was also able to shoot electrical bursts from her hand. Thor was an immortal, the Asgardian god of war. And the Hulk was strength incarnate from gamma ray exposure. Yet, with ingenuity, Iron Man was able to match well as an Avenger when saving humankind from extraterrestrial danger.

Perhaps the most important reason why Iron Man is a great inspiration was his courage to change to do the right thing. In the movie, while under captivity, he observed that his weapons, the ones manufactured by Starks Industries, were being used by terrorists. In fact he was kidnapped by the terrorists to create another sinister weapon that can be used to wage war.

After some soul searching, he had an epiphany that his resources were better for use in defending the innocents rather than empowering war mongers. This was a very bold decision because much of Starks Industries' business come from military weapons sales. He was practically committing corporate suicide, but nevertheless, he was a man with resolve in doing what he thought was the right thing.

Iron Man 2008 movie child costume is available at the Planet Comic Book Radio online store. Planet Comic Book Radio is a weekly talkshow and blog on everything comic books.

Halloween - a strange holiday; someone, lacking the essential ghastly spirit might believe. Nowadays, Halloween is a night when ghouls, witches, and goblins and many other creatures both big and small roam the face of the earth. Creatures in search of treats and good devilish fun. It seems the thirty-first day of October has a much different meaning today than it did back in the time of the Romans and Celts. Centuries ago; Halloween was a time when worshipping various gods and the spirit of the dead were commonplace. It was believed that on October 31st condemned souls, who were forced into the bodies of animals, would roam the world looking to potentially hurt people and destroy their crops. The Celts also believed that this was a time when the line between the living and the dead became distorted. A time when the spirits of the dearly departed came back for a ghostly visit. And so on November 1st, the day known as the beginning of the new harvest, prayers were offered for all souls who had departed or were waiting in Purgatory and in dire need of prayer. Traditionally, bonfires were lit and the Celts dressed in animal skins and animal heads, as they offered up animal offerings and crops, in the hopes of protection.

Today, in the twenty first century, we live in a different ambiance than the Romans and Celts did and tradition has changed somewhat Although some traditions have been handed down: like costume dressing and lighting bonfires, the fear of the rising of the dead is not the threat it once was; thank goodness. However a good spooky story, or unexplained event, or possible haunting is always a welcomed tale to be shared on or around October 31st. Naturally, the spookier the tale and the creepier the feeling, the more welcomed it is on Halloween.

As the autumn season approaches, on any given street in America pumpkins line the pavement; as well as, spooky Halloween lawn and window decorations. Creative parents love this holiday and it is shown in the unique design of their childrens costumes. Apple dunking is a game that children love during this time of year. Apples are placed in a large pail filled with water and the children have to dunk for apples with their hands tied behind their backs. While trick-or-treaters travel door to door in search of little treats and are well received by the enthusiastic treat givers. There are Halloween parades and Square Dances and Bonfires, oh my. Adult Halloween Parties are all the rage and more common now then ever. So if you find yourself invited to a Halloween party, remember it's tradition to dress in costume.

Playing Card Queen Adult Costume

Whether you are in the middle of your Christmas shopping or you have not even started yet, you probably have a budget that you have to stick to. Most people do not have an unlimited amount of funds to do all of their Christmas shopping with.

This will probably mean that you are looking for the best deals that you can find on your holiday shopping. There are a few ways that you can find the good deals in the Christmas season and find some really great discounts.

The first thing that you will have to do is keep an eye on the advertisements that are coming in the mail during this time of the year. You might have to look for them in your daily newspaper, but the advertisements are a great place to find some of the biggest sales of the season.

These advertisements could have coupons or a day of shopping at a percentage off your order. Many of the stores are doing whatever they can to lure you into their store.

Not only should you look for print advertisements, but you should also look on the Internet for some great bargains. The bigger retailers will have online sites that display their current sale items. You will just have to put in your zip code and the discounts that are available in your local area will come up in the search.

The Internet is also a great place to do some comparison shopping. It is so much easier to sit in your home and compare the prices at the different retailers. Not only that, you might get a discount for shopping online as well. When you are better informed on the prices that are available you will know when you are getting a good deal in the stores.

Sometimes it pays just to go to the mall. Some of the stores will put up signs about their current sale so that you can see them when you happen to walk by the store. This is a great way to find some sales that are not advertised. Take a look in the stores that usually have good prices everyday. These retailers are likely to have some good Christmas prices, but even if they don't, you will find that their prices are very reasonable.

When you are looking for bargains during the holiday season, it is wise to make sure that you are listening and watching for the bargains. There will be advertisements in your local newspaper, on television and on the radio. If you are watching and listening these bargains will not slip past you.

Ask your co workers and neighbors how their Christmas shopping is going. They may be able to steer you toward a great sale.

What is it that causes the holiday letdown and feeling of sadness? It seems that our hyperactive consumer society, will we go from one holiday to the next never having a chance to actually enjoy a reflect upon the reasons we have that holiday time set aside.

Back in our minds we must hold onto some part of what we understood a holiday to be. This is especially true of the major holidays like New Year's, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It's interesting that the largest number of divorces are filed in January. Although there are many theories why the number of divorces jump in January, two things come readily to mind.

1. With the new year comes hope for changes and something better. Forget about the reality that resolutions and promises made to yourself never seen to come to fruition. The idea of making a new start is appealing for many. If you're having problems or challenges in your marriage or personal relationship, it's not too far a stretch to want to make a new start there are also. This could explain the spike in divorce filings in January.

2. Another thought is a depression caused by unfulfilled expectations by the holiday season. We have Thanksgiving, Christmas then New Year's all within 60 days and all been considered major holidays for many.

Although we hope for a close-knit family gathering at Thanksgiving, the reality can be quite different. And who hasn't heard of the major fights and verbal altercations among family members during the Christmas season. Are all these problems caused by our underlying attempt to recapture the meaning of these holidays?

With the reality that Christmas is no longer family, friends, or excitement but has been reduced to a generic buying opportunity by society, does this also cost a mental disturbance in our thoughts and memories?

If this is possible, the disappointment and recognition of what the holidays have become may contribute to an almost melancholy if not depression like state. I realize that there are those who may not understand this situation. The pervasive nature of our society can change the perspective of almost anyone.

The same can be said for almost any holiday period throughout the year. July 4, Independence Day has become more of a beer drinking wiener roasting extra day off than a day to reflect on the blessings and freedoms given to us by the creation of our country.

Thoughtful Americans may struggle with the ongoing push for ever-increasing sales by tying consumer special events to any holiday. This struggle may lead to depression and general sadness.

Depression is a very serious mental condition that can result in an ongoing sadness that seems almost uncontrollable. If you think you may be suffering from depression, it's important to seek help as soon as possible. Although not proven, many believe that depression is a chronic illness that will continue to deepen and worsen without proper care and treatment.

Most people are not aware of the fact that there are dangers of Halloween props. When it comes to trying out your decoration skills and expressing your creativity, Halloween is a great holiday! Many individuals work all year to accumulate props and develop creative ideas on how to design their home, their lawn, and other areas like their sheds for Halloween.

Unfortunately, in most cases, these individuals fail to consider the fact that there can be true dangers associated with the items that they use to decorate with. Here, I will share with you some of the most common dangers of Halloween props when used during this fall holiday.

One of the most common Halloween props is the implementation of "spider webs" in the area that one wants to attract fear. There are web products that are sold in decoration stores as well as department stores that are composed of string, rope, and even wire. Many accidents occur each year when this type of product is placed low enough to catch someone's foot, or even high enough for the individual to actually run into.

While this type of prop may only leave some minor cuts, scrapes, or bruising, it is all uncomfortable. If falls are experienced, it may result in serious injury. If you are going to put up this type of webbing, set it in an area away from where people will frequent.

The next type of Halloween prop that is relatively common are dark lights, colored lights, and even black lights. At first glance, these appear to be completely safe and innocent types of lighting, but if you use them as the only source of lighting, the area may be so dark that it drastically reduces visibility.

When this occurs, someone may run into something that could harm them, or even fall and experience a number of injuries. If you plan on using this type of lighting, it may be good to use some small powered lights, such as battery operated lanterns that can be included as part of the festive decorations in order to improve visibility.

As you can see, there are a number of dangers that can be associated with Halloween props. While I have only listed a couple of examples here, they are real examples that will get your mind focused on determining the best method of decorating with props this Halloween. Remember to "think outside the box" when it comes to potential dangers while using Halloween props so that you and your guests can enjoy a safe evening this year!

Buddy Wig sold separately. Shoes not included. This is an officially license The ElfTM costume.
Customer Review: Over, great buy
Great costume. Got here on the expected day. Looks like the real thing. My only complaint is that the tights are kind of iffy. They feel as if they're always going to rip. Unlike pants, these tights are elastic at the waste and cover all the way to the toes. Since they were kind of short on me (I'm 6' 3")...i decided to cut off the ends of the feet so they fit better. But overall, very worth it

July 4 is the date that is common to three prominent persons namely: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe. What really did happened during this date that made it very significant to these individuals? It is simply because it is the day of their deaths.

John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States of America and at the same time the first one to reside in the newly constructed White House, was actually defeated by Jefferson in 1800 for a re-election. Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, was a very enlightened politician who had strong ties with the top brass in France and Britain during his time. He was one of the prime movers of the spirit of Republicanism in the U.S. dubbed as one of its founders. He was one of the two rare individuals given the Triple Crown distinction for having been the President, Vice President and the U.S. Secretary of State. Lastly, James Monroe the 5th American President was the one responsible to acquire the State of Florida. All three incredibly share the same date of deaths.

It is a huge coincidence to note that although all of these three leaders died on July 4, Adams and Jefferson died just several hours apart during the Golden Anniversary of the Declaration's signing. It was only five short years after Adam and Jefferson's death in 1826 that Monroe later succumbed to heart failure and Tuberculosis in the White House.

Child's Peter Pan Halloween Costume (Size: X-Small 4-6)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on 15 January, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. An interesting historical note has Dr. King's father discovering that his son's name had mistakenly been recorded as "Michael" on his birth certificate. He found this out when he was applying for a passport for his son in 1934.

At fifteen, Dr. King entered Morehouse College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in sociology. After receiving a Bachelor's of Divinity in 1951 from the Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania, he went on to study at Boston College. In June 1955, Dr. King received his Doctor of Philosophy. Like his father and grandfather before him, Dr. King became a pastor. His grandfather began his work in 1914 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Dr. King's family was quite established in the area.

In 1953, Dr. King took advantage of the opportunity to work as the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. He was twenty-four. It would offer him a date with destiny. In December 1955, when Rosa Parks was arrested for failing to give her seat up for a white man, the Montgomery Bus Boycott was organized with Dr. King's involvement. The bus boycott put Dr. King on the national and international stage. It lasted over 381 days. Dr. King was arrested during the boycott, but eventually it ended with the Supreme Court banning segregation on all public transportation.

Dr. King embraced the non violent civil disobedient philosophies employed by Mahatma Gandhi. He organized marches with the specific intent to empower the African-American right to vote, desegregation, labor and civil rights.

His most famous march was in 1963 when he went to Washington, D.C. and gave his "I Have A Dream," speech in front of the Lincoln memorial. President Lyndon B. Johnson later passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Dr. King's dream was now law.

One of Dr. King's most notable awards was receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He was thirty-five years old and the Nobel's youngest recipient. Dr. King was also outspoken on his doubts regarding the Vietnam War.

In March 1968 while in Memphis, Tennessee to support the African-American sanitary workers on strike, he was assassinated as he stood on the balcony of his hotel room. Posthumously, rumors surrounded him that he had plagiarized his doctorate's thesis and that he was a womanizer, but that doesn't diminish what he accomplished - civil rights for all, especially for African-Americans.

Dr. King left behind a rich legacy of work and accomplishments. He was the recipient of twenty honorary degrees, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and even a Grammy award for Best Spoken Word Recording. In 1983, Ronald Regan signed legislation creating a Federal holiday honoring Dr. King. In 2000, all fifty states officially observed Martin Luther King Day. It is currently held on the third Monday of January each year.

When is the best time to begin your search for Halloween decorations and costumes? The answer is as soon as you can. Today, you can begin at the end of summer if you use the internet instead of relying on your local stores. Halloween is a fun and spooky night that everyone can enjoy, however, if you wait until the day before time to go trick or treating, your kids may not find a costume they want as the store sells out quickly of the most popular costumes. However, online you can find costumes all year long and decide months in advance and then order in time to receive all the costumes you need for the entire family.

When it comes to decorations, you should look and see if you have any left from last year and then add to these. Creating a spooky and fun yard and home for Halloween is just as much for the adults as it is the kids. You can find such things as doormats that make spooky sounds, tapes of all kinds of scary sounds, zombies for the front yard, moving hands, and more. The possibilities are endless as long as you have the imagination to transform your yard and home to the spookiest in the neighborhood.

Once again, we must look at the costumes as these are really the most important part of Halloween. Each person can be any character they desire. You can create any type of Halloween party and go back in time to the early 1800's, the 1960's and the Hippie generation, or even create a party with a scary theme such as a crypt or graveyard. What about turning your entire yard or party room into Dracula's Den? Of course, the way you decorate and what you wear depends on whether you will have children or adults at your party.

If you are searching for costumes, you have to choose the costumes for their ages. For babies you can choose such costumes as kitty, elephant, pumpkin, lamb, and monkey. Toddler costumes are the most popular list are ballerinas, Spiderman, Pikachu, Minnie Mouse, and Mickey Mouse. As the children grow so do the costumes they wish to wear. You can find all kinds of costumes for the older children such as animals, Hannah Montana, Princess, aliens, and ninja warriors.

Teens of course, would not want to wear any of the above, as they would certainly say, "those are for kids". Teen girls would prefer such Halloween costumes as Elizabeth Pirate, Devil Fairy, or Genie Princes, whereas the teen boys are sure to want such Halloween costumes as Ghost Rider, Davy Jones, Sir Peter the Knight of Wolfsbane, and Jack Sparrow.

Of course, teens may wish to create their own unique Halloween costume and add a wig, especially the girls. Some of the wigs they may desire include China Doll, Angel, Long Punk, or Elvira.

Remember, Halloween is a night of fun, enjoy it, it only comes once a year.

Goddess Wig (Natural Red) Deluxe Adult Halloween Costume Accessory (B542)

Goddess Wig (Natural Red) Deluxe Adult Halloween Costume Accessory

Fire crackers and fireworks seem to have first place in the celebration of the Fourth of July, but a few 4th of July kids games and amusements of a patriotic nature or connected in some way with the symbols of the day may not come amiss.

1. 4th of July Kids Games - What Will You Do For Your Country?

• The players are seated in a row or circle except the leader who is seated in the center of the group.
• The leader begins the game by asking the first one "What will you do for your country." The player must reply immediately with a word beginning with the letter "A" such as admire it, adore it, aid it, act for it, etc., etc.
• If he does not reply promptly he must pay a forfeit or he must pay a forfeit if he uses a word whichwould show disloyalty to his country such as antagonize it, abhor it, etc. etc.
• The same question is put to each player to answer with a word beginning with the letter "A."
• Then ask the first player again, "What will you do for your country." This time the reply must begin with the letter "B" such as battle, beg, bawl or be brave for it.
• The next time use the letter "C" and so on through the alphabet.

2. 4th of July Kids Games - Rally Around The Flag

• The children take hold of hands and form a circle, except one who is standard bearer and stands in the center of the circle holding an American flag having a staff about four feet long, which is pointed so it can be easily stuck into the ground.
• The children all sing, The Union Forever, Hurrah boys, Hurrah! Down with the traitor, Up with the star; While we rally 'round the flag, boys, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
• When the children sing, "Hurrah boys, Hurrah," they wave their right hands high in the air. As they sing "Down with the traitor" all stoop to the ground. As they sing "Up with the star" all jump up and the child in the center raises the flag and waves it until the last line is sung, when he places the flag in the ground.
• As the children begin to sing the third line of the verse, "While we rally round the flag, etc.," they join hands and circle around until the verse is finished, when they drop hands and run.
• While the child in the center counts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, halt.
• If the standard bearer sees any child's feet move after he cries "halt," he has the privilege of tagging that child, who is then an ally of the standard bearer and helps tag the other children he sees moving.
• If a child can reach the flag and touch it without his movements being seen by the standard bearer or his allies he is free.
• When all have gained freedom or been caught the game is finished and may be repeated if desired, choosing a different standard bearer.

Mile High Pilot Adult Costume

Here it comes again, the best holiday of the year. Oh yeah, you know Halloween is your favorite - even above Christmas. The biggest and best parties of the year happen at Halloween and you get the chance to dress up and be someone else for a bit. You don't get to do that at Christmas. As summer starts to wind down, you know it's time to start planning for Halloween - great parties and costumes to match. It only comes around once a year, so make sure you don't blow it. Follow these next seven costume tips and you can avoid the common Halloween costume blunders people make every year, and instead, have a costume that rocks.

Bullseye - Before you pick your costume, you've got to know what sort of Halloween party you are heading to and what your goals are. You might wear a super-sexy or raunchy-funny costume to the party of the year with your buds, but you wouldn't dare show up to a work party that way. Next you need to know what you are after with your costume. What's your goal? Do you want to make 'em laugh? Or are you looking to make someone want you? Maybe you've just gotta dance the night away. Or maybe you want a costume that will have you living out our fantasies. These are all good and fine. It's just important for you to know what you are after and choose the costume that works.

Keep it FUNctional - The two big questions here are - what sort of party is it and what sort of partier are you? Are you going to want to eat or drink a lot? Forget any costume that requires a full face mask. If there's eating or drinking going on, you're going to want your mouth available for easy access. Hoping to get into close body contact with someone? Then you've got to forget the big boxy, bulky costume ideas (like anything where you are inside a cardboard box or anything that has sharp spikes or corners). If it's human contact you want, make your costume easy to cuddle with. Already got a someone? Coordinate your costumes and look like a couple. Looking to score? Go sexy. Do you intend to party hard and get totally faded? If so, then remember you just might end up passed out on some lawn or floor? Think ahead - how is this costume going to hold up to spills, barf, and lying in the wet grass for hours. And most importantly how will it look in photos - cuz' you know some friend of yours is going to use their cell phone to get a picture of you all passed out, or maybe your photo will end up on the front page, or there's always the mugshot to think of.

Have a Fit - Wishful sizing just doesn't work. Don't buy a costume that is a size you "wish you were." If taking a deep breath is going to split your seams, it's a sign - get the next size up. If you have to hold your breath, lie on your back, or have your friends squeeze and squish you into an outfit, face it, it just doesn't fit. A costume that fits you right, will make you look great. Then you'll have folks checking you out for all the right reasons. You want that "Oh yeah" look not the "What the hell was she thinking" look.

No Encores - Don't hit the big party in the same outfit as last year, no matter how big a hit it was. Go ahead re-use some of the costume pieces, if you want, but come up with a unique fun look for each year. If you'll be hitting multiple Halloween parties over a few days, you don't want to show up in the same outfit night after night. You have two choices here - have multiple costumes or, at least, change up your costume for each party by adding some twist or variation to it each time.

All Eyes Here - Everyone has some attribute that really works for them - whether it be their hair or eyes or legs or arms or chest or abs. Think about it for a second. What is your best feature? Wear a costume that puts the spotlight right on that area. Use your costume to draw attention to your strengths and downplay the areas you'd rather not have folks notice so much. So, if you've got great legs but a bit of a muffin top, don't pick a costume that covers the legs and lets the belly hang out. Go with the short skirt or something that shows off those sexy legs, and choose a top that covers the pooch.

Sexy vs Skanky. It seems to me that quite a few folks nowadays are pretty unclear about difference between skanky and sexy. Don't turn Halloween into National Skank Day. Showing a little skin is good and fun - tease and tempt a bit, make 'em wonder, even provoking a wee bit of fantasizing is okay. You can be little revealing without looking like a total slut. If you have all sorts of T&A exposed all over the place, you ain't sexy - you're skanky. Butt cracks for all to see, butt cheeks hanging out, or any bit of nipple showing and your are entering skankville, for sure. We could go on and on about this point, but here's a good rule of thumb to follow: if Brittany Spears would wear it, it's probably skanky not sexy.

Attack of the Clones - A hot, new costume is out, so you buy one and are all excited, only to walk into the party and discover you are one of 50 people wearing the exact same outfit. Not exactly the way you wanted that to go, huh? It's just no good being one a gazillion Batmans at the party. Add a personal touch to the costume or really tweak it and make it totally unique. How you accessorize makes all the difference in the world. Think wigs, shoes, boots, boas, glasses, and stockings for starters. Be creative and put together an outfit that's totally you and only you.

There you have it, seven simple tips that can save you all sorts of pain, frustration, and embarrassment. Seven simple tips that will set you up for a great Halloween - at least as far as the costume goes. The rest - all that stuff about how to act and what to do - is up to you. We've done our part.

Sexy Wizard Wanda Potter Halloween Costume - LARGE

Sexy naughty wizard will cast a spell on you! Costume includes dress with pleated hem, cape with attached collar and neck tie, glasses and wand.

Snowglobes have intrigued the hearts of men and women as far back as I can remember. And why wouldn't they? Not only are they creative, they all seem to take on their own life and lavishness. Just one little shake and you can't help but be hooked.

But I wouldn't bring you over here just to hear a story about a snowglobe would I?

Great reasoning!

So what is this about?

At Christmas time, consumerism abounds promising happy hearts for young and old alike who make this or that special product the gift of Christmas. Heartwarming Christmas movies become the box office attraction for movie goers all over the world. TV takes its annual holiday classics to the masses and advertising moguls flood our eyes and emotions with enchanted commercials that would even melt the heart of Frosty with their warmth. And who can overlook those wonderful Christmas carols that serenade us everywhere we go.

"May all your Christmases be white," one carol states.

It seems the world is alive with the magic and aglow with a spell of enchantment.

I have one word for all this.

SNOWGLOBE!

You ever notice when you shake a snowglobe that you can't help but get lost in its solemnness and elegance. Snow has never looked so pretty and peace on earth seems to be reflected in each flake that falls. Sometimes you just want to crawl inside and lose yourself in its panorama of tranquility.

"If life were only like this snowglobe,"

one can't help but reason.

I wonder if this was a little of what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was feeling when he penned the poem that became the song, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"? Wrestling with the loss of his wife a couple years prior in a house fire, the crippling wounding of his son in the American Civil War that still raged as he heard the bells that Christmas day so long ago and took up his pen to write,

"I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor does He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men."

If we are not careful, we can become convinced that the message of Christmas is all about making life for us like a snowglobe.

It isn't, you know?

The message of Christmas is really about the chaos we all want to escape, not in the snowglobe enchantment we all seem to chase this time of year. When you think about it, scripture tells us that Jesus had the snowglobe, but He crawled out of it to enter our chaos.

The next time you get swept away in the magic, remember the real message of Christmas. It's about God entering our world in all its chaos, not its enchantment. When you shut out all the noise this time of year and hear the sounds of bleeding, broken and lonely hearts all around you reminding you of this, you are now seeing Christmas as it was meant to be seen.

It was not an enchanting castle where Christ would be wrapped in robes of royalty that He chose for His bed that first Christmas night, it was a stable and a meager manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Doesn't sound much like a snowglobe, does it? But then, neither does our lives.

If you are like me and are a very lousy shopper and always end up getting everyone the wrong gift at Christmas time, think about a Gift-of-the-Month Club. G.O.M Clubs have all the things the lazy gift giver requires: Ease of purchase, no shopping at the dreaded mall and an almost guaranteed positive response accompanied by a monthly "At-A-Boy" from the recipient. And there are plenty of clubs to choose from for everyone on your gift-giving list.

First, you have to know your giftee. For instance, my dad is an avid coffee drinker. For him a coffee of the month club would be perfectand there are plenty of choices. At some places, You can choose anything from flavored coffees to dark roasts to a monthly sampler.

However, coffee clubs aren't the only types of gift of the month clubs. You can get Fruit-of-the-Month clubs for the vegetarian in your life. Flower-of-the-Month clubs are popular with husbands and boyfriends who are constantly screwing up. Sign up your significant other for any of the many Flower-of-the-Month clubs and you have a ready set apology landing at her doorstep every 30 days.

There are a number of other clubs for everyone in your life: Gag-of-the-Month clubs for the prankster in your life; Wine-of-the-Month clubs for the wannabe wine connoisseur; Beer-of-the-Month clubs for the sports fan; Chocolate-of-the-Month clubs for the addicted; Pizza-of-the-Month clubs for the teen or college student; and Cigar-of-the-Month clubs for Granddad.

But how do you decide the best club? The Internet is always a good place to start your research. Go to any search engine and type in Gift of the Month clubs. You will find nearly 1,000 sites trying to sell you everything from DVDs to practical jokesall shipped monthly to the recipient of your choice.

However, you need to read the payment and delivery plans carefully. Many DVD and CD plans require that you put in a lot of work, sending back a card every month telling them if you want their monthly selection. If you forget, you are stuck with whatever they send. But worse than that, the recipient of your "gift" is stuck with the bill. Is that really a gift?

The Shrek movies certainly have created a huge base and while an ogre may not be everyone's dream prince, history shows it was for the lovable Princess Fiona who fell in love with the "big fella."

The Princess Fiona costume for Halloween is a perfect theme for an occasion which spans everything from horror to fantasy. And it's sure to earn you plenty of "brownie points" as others stick with the latest crazes. You'll have a great time when you choose this costume, although there are some things that you can do to spice it up. So, here are a few great tips for using the Princess Fiona costume for Halloween this year.

1. First of all, if you are going with this outfit you'll want to make sure that you get the signature dress that made her famous in the movie. A full length dress in white and purple colors which seem to change slightly as far as the shade of purple was concerned. This is also accentuated in the choices as there are different offerings providing the different purple shades.

2. If you want to have some fun with the costume, consider changing it up with the human and ogre look. Remember, Fiona was first a human, then turned ogre, then turned human, and back to ogre again. Well, if you get the ogre mask to go along with the costume, you can go back and forth between being the human version and the ogre version of Fiona. Simply take the mask off from time to time and really have fun with this costume. No one will know which one you are supposed to be.

3. A Tiara is a Must - Of course since you are a Princess, you'll want to make sure that you have a tiara with the Princess Fiona costume. Sometimes you'll find that the tiara will come with the rest of the costume. However, in some cases you may end up having to actually purchase the tiara separately. Some of them even come with little ogre ears on them as well.

4. Take Along Some Friends - If you really want to have a great time with the Princess Fiona costume then consider taking along some friends with you. You'll be able to go as Princess Fiona, and your friends can play other parts, such as the Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Shrek, Donkey, and even Puss in Boots. You'll all have a blast and everyone will love seeing your group all dressed up in Shrek attire.

There will always be people who want their Christmas decorations to be a bit different, something unusual that will set their display apart from the rest. Whether it be using the very latest LED technology for animated outdoor displays, designer decorations from specialist artists, or just taking an old idea and giving it a new personal twist, they just want to think that their decor is unusual.

Are you one of those who would like a Christmas tree that does not look like a million others in a 20 mile radius? Maybe for the first time you have the inclination to do something different with the tree this year, but are not quite sure where to start? Here are some ideas that may help you get your thoughts together on how to create an unusual Christmas tree display, one that will get visitors to your home stop and say: "oh, that's unusual."

There are two basic ways you can achieve the unusual effect you want from your tree, and many variations of those two basics. You can also combine the two. The first is to choose a tree that is itself unusual, and the second is to decorate the tree with unusual or unique ornaments and decorations. For the big impression though, it is best not to rely on the minute detail of the ornaments, as these will not be immediately noticeable. So, for the first impact, it is best to focus on the tree itself, color and any tree decor that is immediately noticeable to someone walking in the room, such as rare lighting arrangements.

Unusual Christmas Trees

There was a time when a Christmas tree was just a Christmas tree, a real fresh cut tree brought from a tree farm or dragged from a nearby store. That was before artificial trees came on the scene and rapidly improved to the point today they make great alternatives. That definitely increases the scope for having an unusual Christmas tree display in your home.

Here are a few specific ideas:

1. Use an old tradition which has been rediscovered. Upside down Christmas trees date back centuries, in Germany, but if someone has not seen one before, it will definitely make an impact on them. While the originals were real, artificial versions are now readily available.

2. Go for a colored tree; colored other than green, that is. You can even go for a single color theme, with all decor being basically the same color as the tree, only in different shades. Pink is especially effective for this purpose, and makes a big visual impact. Light blue, navy blue, gold, and red, are all possible choices. It makes sense to find your matching ornaments before spending on the tree, just in case you have difficulty decorating your tree with right colored ornaments.

3. When it comes to decor and ornaments, the best place to make an immediate impact is with the tree topper. By choosing a larger than normal, unusually designed, and lighted tree topper you can attract quick attention to your tree.

4. You can, of course, use lighting effects to set your tree apart from the rest. However, be careful to not choose lights that will distract from the best features of your tree. For instance, with a color theme such as pink, it is better to have lights that subtly merge into the tree.

Halloween is a fun time of year for children of all ages-and all species. For those of you who are pet lovers you might already know that you can find creative cat and dog Halloween costumes to make the holiday even more special for you and your furry friend. If this is something that you are interested in there are a few different options that you can look into to learn more about the topic. The first suggestion would be to search online to get an idea of what you would like to dress your pet up as. You can also go to the larger pet stores to see what they might have to offer you for information on the subject.

Once you know what type of creative costume your want for your pet you will need to decide what you will use for accessories. If you are planning on having your cat be a dog for Halloween you might want to have him wear bones made out of paper around his neck. Just something simple and cute like that would work. Why not have your pet's costume match the theme as your children's? Your little girl could be Bo Peep while your black lab could be her lost sheep. Looking for an idea that is a little more complicated? Have your son be Elliot and your rat terrier can be E.T. the alien. The most fun part about Halloween is that you get to let your imagination and creativity run wild.

If you are planning on taking your old pooch "trick-or-treating" with the family you will want to take this into consideration, does the costume work well with a collar and leash? You wouldn't want something tragic to happen to your beloved friend on such a joyous evening. In the even that you might be out past dark you should put reflective tape on the collar and leash of your pets. You could also purchase these accessories that are made for doing such activities in the dark. Also, make sure the costume fits properly. Too small of a costume could be hazardous to your pet because it might not allow your pet to move as easily. If danger where to head your way your pet might not be able to get out of the way in time due to the restrictions. Always be sure to never leave your pet unattended while in a costume. An animal can easily become tangled up while wearing a costume and this could lead to serious injuries or even death.

You can shop for your cat or dog Halloween costume at most pet stores. Online is another option for shopping. Many pet suppliers have catalogues that you can have shipped right to your door to look through. You will be able to mail in an order or even make a purchase online. Making your own costume is another possibility. You can find free patterns or patterns for a relatively low cost online or at fabric stores. Whichever method you decide to use to allow your pet to join in on the fun is up to you. Just be sure to have the perfect fit for the safety of your pet. Don't forget to give your pet a couple treats, too.
