  • Christmas Can Be More Than Giving And Receiving
    By: J Gardener. | - From early October to the New Year, the whole holiday season seems to be one giant whirlwind of colors and music and joy. There's something to excite everyone in every family. But Christmas is the time when the youngest family members seem to come alive the most, their excitement palpable, as Santa Claus's visit grows ever closer, with its promise of many treasures under the tree on Christmas morning.

    Of course, adults love getting presents as much as their children do. That ch ...

  • Can Santa Claus Find Us, If We're Not Home?
    By: J Gardener. | - To parents, the holiday season may mean parties, music and pageantry, as well as a whirlwind of Christmas-themed activities, from Thanksgiving until Christmas Day. To their youngest children, the holiday season means planning for one thing-Santa Claus's Christmas Eve flight and visit. And every child understands that Santa Claus knows exactly where to leave the toys and goodies he's bringing, because he knows where every child lives.

    So, many children prepare very carefully for ...

  • Newyly Formed Families Mean New Christmas Traditions
    By: J Gardener. | - The unit that used to be referred to as the nuclear family has changed greatly, in the past generation. With the divorce rate steady at about fifty percent, families today split, then form new families, more than ever before. Step-families are common, which means that families are constantly undergoing changes, including changes in their traditions.

    The holiday season is the time of year when the changes and adaptations in family traditions can be most acute. And it can be espe ...

  • Christmas Shopping With Kids
    By: J Gardener. | - Parents with small children might long for those pre-family days when they could do their Christmas shopping quickly, but they know now that nothing happens quickly, when little shoppers are involved. Christmas shopping with young children requires the kind of planning that would impress military strategists.

    There's no such thing as rushing, for instance. You don't zip around the slow shoppers at the mall. You can't just hop in the car and dash to the next location, when you'v ...

  • Your Children Want To Be Part Of Your Family's Christmas Planning
    By: J Gardener. | - When most parents face the holiday season, they imagine themselves busily shopping, cooking, cleaning for guest visits, and of course, doing whatever is necessary to make their childrens' Christmas special. Adults are so used to being busy and stressed, during the holidays, that they forget that their kids may want to be a part of all the preparations, too.

    Christmas is the culmination of the season for children, with a visit from Santa Claus as the crowning event, but that doesn ...

  • Sharing The Joy At Christmastime
    By: J Gardener | - Terri is one of those women other mothers either envy or resent. With two boys, both under six, she's always sunny and upbeat, even as she goes about the many daunting tasks required of a working mother as the holiday season approaches. While her friends look at the calendar and see two months of shopping, cooking, house-cleaning and party-planning-and they wonder how they'll get through it all with any resemblence of sanity-nothing seems to slow Terri down or dampen her enthusiasm for this ti ...

  • On The Plane With Kids
    By: J Gardener | - It's not "over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house", anymore. Your new and growing family lives a thousand miles away from your childhood home, so a visit to your childrens' grandparents is a long trek that a horse-drawn sleigh won't cover. Still, your parents live for the visit at Christmastime that you promised you'd make.

    And that means a plane flight-the bane of all young parents. Traveling with children has never been easy, but with all of the airline re ...

  • Caroling At Christmas
    By: J Gardener | - You're still young, by any standard, but your little ones can make you feel old, at a moment's notice. And the holiday season seems to have more than its share of those moments. Like tonight-your family's been invited to a potluck get-together with friends. There are games and activities for the kids, while the adults are spending an all-too-rare evening, socializing and catching up. It's relaxing, enjoyable, and fun-until some idiot opens their big mouth and announces aloud their bright ide ...

  • Presents Vs. Time
    By: J Gardener | - It's hard enough for most parents to arrange good, quality family-time, under normal circumstances. But in December, with holiday preparations dominating so much free time, and talk of Santa's arrival dominating so much conversation, parents are lucky to keep up with their children's lives.

    One complaint that parents have had since Santa became a part of Christmas is the cost of the season. And today, with Christmas advertising aimed at children beginning before November, parent ...

  • Parents Can Help Each Other At Christmas
    By: J Gardener | - The first few years that they were parents, Gail and Darin dreaded the stress of the Christmas season. The difficulty of shopping with a child in a stroller made an already arduous task even more tiring. The only way to avoid taking their baby daughter with them was to do all of their shopping seperately, while one spouse stayed at home. They avoided Christmas parties, caroling with their friends, and many of the activities they would have loved to take part in. They weren't bitter or begrud ...

  • Planning For Christmas Past
    By: J Gardener | - Your child's at the age, now, when she understands that Christmas is coming, and that it's a very special day, so you're going out of your way to make sure you don't disappoint her. You've planned everything perfectly, because you want it to be a day the whole family will remember. But have you planned a way to make sure you remember the day?

    Too often, as families grow and family traditions are followed, or new ones take hold, memories of individual Christmases blend into one a ...

  • Enjoy The Snow
    By: J Gardener | - Remember how your parents always seemed old to you, even before they reached middle age? They could never relate to you, they could never remember what it was like to be a kid. Now, you're an adult with children, but you've made a pact with yourself-no matter how old you get, you're always going to think "young". You'll always be able to relate to your kids. Right?

    Here's a quick test of your resolve:

  • Make A Deal With Santa
    By: J Gardener | - Your daughter: "Mommy, mommy, I want Santa to bring me a (insert the name of this year's most popular toy) for Christmas!"

    You: "But you got a (insert the name of last year's very similar most popular toy) last Christmas."

    Your daughter: "It's old now! I hate it!"

    You take a look around your daughter's room and you sigh. It's crammed full of "old" toys and dolls, last year's most-desired Christmas must-haves. And you realize that the cycle has b ...

  • Good Deeds & The Santa Factor
    By: J Gardener | - Looking back, it may seem a little like cheating, but my friend Annie found a way, several years ago, to instill in her young kids the habit of performing random acts of kindness. She didn't call them that at the time-this was before the phrase became popular-she called these acts "good deeds". And here's the kicker: her kids, young as they were, were tickled to learn the habit, becoming anxious and even competitive in finding ways to help others. And the habit has stuck with them, as they've ...

  • Help Your Child Help Others At Christmas
    By: J Gardener | - Whether you celebrate the holidays for their religious significance, or as a time for the fellowhip of friends and family-if you have small children, you know that Santa's visit is definitely the focus of their attention.

    It's not unhealthy, according to most experts, for children to learn to relate to the season from an inherently "selfish" point of view. As every parent knows, in early development, kids regard what is satisfying-whether it's a hug or a meal-as special, so if a ...

  • Golden Oldie Toys
    By: J Gardener | - It's the season of giving, the season of joy, the season of peace and love for all mankind, the season to give thanks for family, friends, and all the blessings we share. But if you're the parent of a small child, and your child watches commercial TV, it's also the season of frustration, befuddlement, and ear plugs.

    The frustration comes when when you realize that Christmas advertisers have been wooing your kid since September. The befuddlement is what you feel about the electro ...

  • Remember Your Pets This Holiday Season
    By: J Gardener | - In the Martin household, last Christmas Eve was typical, for a family with two children under six. Marci and Dan got the kids to bed as early as they could manage- which really wasn't early at all, considering all that pre-school adrenaline pumping at the thought of actually catching Santa in the act of dropping down the chimney. Then the young parents spent the next three hours assembling dollhouses and bicycles, installing batteries in video consoles, pushing their inquisitive dog, Jazzy, ou ...

  • Flying With Kids: The Airport
    By: J Gardener | - When you were single and traveling, you'd watch those families, whose small kids were already screaming, before your flight boarded, and you'd pray that your seat on the plane was far from theirs. Then you promised yourself that you'd get traveling out of your system, before you got married and had a family of your own-you'd never fly with little kids. Too much hassle. Did you really think you'd get away with such a ridiculous dream, considering your parents live a thousand miles away?

  • Christmas Cookies: Santa's Midnight Snack
    By: Jeremy White | - Cookies. Who doesn't love them? We dip them in milk. We cover them with icing and sprinkles. We make them in various shapes and sizes and devour them with abandon, not giving a second thought to their caloric content.

    Why? Because they're delicious!

    We eat cookies year 'round and don't need an excuse to crave them, but the holiday season is the perfect time to overindulge. No cookie is better than a freshly baked Christmas cookie, after all. We bake them with our ch ...

  • Sleigh Bells Ring...
    By: Jeremy White | - Sleighs are intertwined with Christmas traditions and have been for ages. Our favorite Christmas songs include the use of sleighs. Jingle Bells romanticizes the one-horse open sleigh, while several songs about Jolly Ol' St. Nick make mention of Santa's favored mode of transportation - yep, you guessed it ... his sleigh.

    Perhaps we love the sleigh for its simplicity. Its design - a platform or box on two runners - is anything but complex. Or maybe we love it because of the feeling ...

  • Spoiled Rotten Angel
    By: J Gardener | - You really lucked out, in the child lottery, didn't you? Just look at her, that daughter of yours. She's beautiful, obviously-everybody says, she's going to have movie star looks, when she grows up. She's healthy-just the usual childhood illnesses, and she's in the ninetieth-percentile of height, for her age. It goes without saying that she's smart-she was the best thing in the kindergarten Thanksgiving pageant last year, (O.K., so she flubbed a couple of lines; at least you could hear her!) ...

  • Yuletide Gifts For The Religious Adult
    By: Jeremy White | - As Christmas approaches and we begin procuring gifts for family and friends, it's sometimes difficult to know exactly what to give certain individuals. Spiritually inclined adults are often a challenge because you want to evoke in them their spirited passion for the true meaning of Christmas without over commercializing the sacred holiday.

    Rest assured, however, that the perfect gift does exist. Here, we offer several for your consideration.

  • A Family Christmas After Divorce
    By: Jeremy White | - The popular saying goes like this: "Breaking up is hard to do." Yet, when it comes to marriage in the U.S., a large percentage of us do it. Divorce, however unpleasant, is commonplace in today's society, and dealing with it during the holidays is a fact of life with which adults and children alike must deal.

    A divorce - especially a fresh one - can be particularly trying during the holidays. The Yuletide season is one of giving and family, and the dissonance of a divorce can great ...

    By: Jeremy White | - If you teach your children to love books at an early age you're doing them a lifelong favor. And there's no better place to start than at Christmas. Not only do books make great holiday gifts, but there are hundreds of wonderful children's books that deal with Christmas themes. So, what are you waiting for? Get going.

    Where to start? With our list of the best Christmas books for kids, of course. Making a best-of list is always tricky. The process is subjective to begin with. A ...

  • Take Care When Choosing A Christmas Tree
    By: Jeremy White | - Selecting and decorating the Christmas tree is one of our most valued Yuletide traditions. Of all the symbols we associate with the holiday season, few are more recognizable than the Christmas tree. We take great care in selecting a beautiful, fragrant evergreen to place in our homes or businesses. We watch with delight as our kids hang ornaments, often as early as the day after Thanksgiving. We attend civic Christmas tree lightings in small towns and large cities alike. And, of course, on Chris ...

  • Christmas In Another World: Romania
    By: Jeremy White | - While much of the civilized world celebrate ancient Christmas traditions, it wasn't always so in Romania, a country once shackled to the now-defunct Soviet Union. Prior to the country's break from the communist-led Soviet bloc, Romanian residents were forced to abandon - or at least submerge - many of their Christmas traditions.

    It has been 15 years since Romania regained its independence, and its citizens are once again filling the Christmas season with joyous celebrations. Young ...

  • Have Yourself A Merry (and Safe!) Little Christmas
    By: Jeremy White | - If you've ever had a real tree in your home for the holidays, you know there's nothing quite like it. Sure, artificial Christmas trees are great and are no-brainers for convenience and safety, but a real tree brings to life age-old Yuletide traditions.

    Each year, around 30 million homes opt for live trees, according to the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA). But, as referenced, live trees do carry more of a safety issue than the artificial variety. Namely, a poorly maintai ...

  • Adjusting To A Second Child
    By: J Gardener | - Nothing changes the dynamic of a couple's life together like the news that they're expecting their first child. And, later, nothing will change the dynamic of their young family's life more than the news that a second child is on the way-especially if the first-born is still very young.

    Most couples are surprised-having been through it, once, and believing that they're experts, now-at how unprepared they feel, once their second child is born. The problems of time management, sle ...

You made the decision that you were going to enjoy the outdoors with your family, today, on one of the few really beautiful days the season promises, before the cold of winter sets in.

    You thought about taking a scenic drive, or walking through the woods, collecting leaves with your kids-they're growing up so fast, and this is the kind of weather that's perfect for s ...

    By: J Gardener | - A few years ago (it seems like a lifetime ago, now) you were in your prime, physically and personally. You and your wife wanted a family, so you figured, it's now or never, right? You were in your prime, professionally, too, climbing that career ladder surely and steadily. Soon enough, it was 2.2 kids and a great job with a future-you were livin' the dream.

You think about curling up on the couch and watching a little TV, then you get an even better idea: What could be more perfect than a good book and some soft background music?

    Moments later, you're all set-you've got your book, the lights are just right, the couch-pillows are arranged just the way you like them, and you pop the perf ...

    By: J Gardener | - Statistically, you'll probably never experience the tragedy of a catastrophic fire in your home. But, statistically, if you do, your family's chances of survival are greatly increased, if, as a family, you've planned for the possibility.

    Planning begins with prevention. Just as you teach your children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol (or, with younger children, the dangers of eating or drinking something they shouldn't), parents should also teach children-even young ones-a ...

  • Don't Send Your Pet To Jail When You Go On Vacation - Tips For Keeping Your Pet Healthy And Happy
    By: Pam Mathison | - When the Smith family went on vacation last summer, they left Ralph the cat and Maxine the dog at home. A friend stopped by each day to replenish their food and water and spend a little play time with them. One would think the pets would have faired just fine, but that was not the case.

    For days Ralph continuously meowed at the door while Maxine moped in the garage waiting for the car to arrive, unable to understand why their owners weren't responding. By the time the Smiths final ...

    By: J Gardener | - If it's Thursday, it must be soccer. Or ballet. Or piano, voice, religious school, jiu-jitsu, or t-ball. Or is that Wednesday?

    Between school and all the available extracurricular activities today, kids-even very young ones-can seem busier than their working parents. Of course, we all want our children to have every advantage we can give them, and so many of the activities which used to be offered in school have been eliminated by budget cuts. And, gone are the days of kids j ...

Gone are the heat and humidity of summer, replaced by crisp, clear, clean air that fills your lungs in a way you haven't felt in months. You really notice it, and you can't help but smile.

    You sigh, wishing you hadn't made plans to clean the basement or watch football or finish up that project for work orwhatever you made plans to do. Your kids are little; not really old enough t ...

  • Choosing The Right Childcare Provider
    By: J Gardener | - Family life in the twenty-first century presents challenges our parents and grandparents never imagined. With the preponderence of two-career marriages, and a growing number of single-parent households, no longer is it a foregone conclusion that a mother will automatically be her pre-school child's primary daytime caregiver.

    Fortunately for parents today, the child daycare industry has grown exponentially in the past couple of decades. In most cities and towns, families generall ...

  • Helping Children Cope With The Death Of A Pet
    By: J Gardener | - The death of a pet can be a traumatic experience for the whole family. For a young child, it can also be confusing-it's often the first time a child must deal with such loss. In many cases, the pet has been with the family since before the child's birth, so he or she has grown up with the pet as a real part of the family. Children tend to relate to pets as playmates, so the loss, to a child, is often the loss of a best friend.

    But while it's a sad time in a family's life, it ca ...

  • The Day My Preschooler Said "#@%$*&" !!!
    By: J Gardener | - Even as your heart stops, you know you'll laugh about this, one day. Like, in 2046. It'll make a great story at the retirement home. But, right now, in the dead silence that fills the dining room, you just want to disappear, because everybody at the table knows-it's your fault. He must have heard it from you.

    Why else would your cute little Daniel look over at Uncle Willard and blurt out, gleefully, "You're a #@%$*&!!" ?

    Well, of course, everyone's right. You d ...

    Why does Daddy paint his face blue (red/green/silver, etc.)?;
    Why does Daddy yell at the TV?; or,
    Why does Daddy hate the blind man named Ref'?

    Over the years, you've come to dread September, but you've managed to cope with this dirty little family secret. Still, it's impossible to explain to a child the ...
