I hope you've had as much fun as I did finding the perfect gift for your special someone this year. I love my work so much -- mostly because of all of you wonderful gift-givers -- and it means so much  to be able to share it with you.

So on this Christmas Day, I just want to pause amidst the festivities to say thank you and happy holidays to you and yours from all of us here at The Lighter Side.

I hope you're able to spend time with your friends and family, share a meal, a few laughs and some warm moments. In short, I hope you get everything you want for Christmas.

Now that the tree is up, the stockings are hung and most of our shopping is complete, it's time to start turning on the holiday cheer at home. Here are a few ways to add some sparkle and pop to your home decor this year.
  • Light the way. Holiday path lighting is a must if you're going to have guests. And cords conceal easily along the path so you don't have to worry about anyone tripping.
  • Light your wine. Lighted bottle toppers are popular this year. And it's a great way to show guests which bottles are already open.
  • Light yourself. Pick out a lighted bow to top your Christmas outfit. It's fun and festive.
Those are just a few bright ideas. What will you do to light up your holiday this year?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of those videos that "breaks the Internet".  It's already gone "viral" with over a quarter million worldwide views in two days. Even if it does break the web, I just have to do my part to spread the "bug" — because this is one everyone should catch!

A budding magician, while visiting the Barcelona Zoo, deciding to see if he could fool this orangutan with a little sleight-of-hand. Watch as the little ape intently watches the man's every move and then reacts with shock and hilarity when the trick is over:


Now, I hope the video doesn't really break the Internet. After all, we still have shopping to do!  But I hope it gave you a break from your holiday rush and a good laugh, too!

How is your holiday shopping going? I'm doing pretty well, but, well it seems there's always more to do...right up until the Big Day.

I'm working on my stocking stuffers now. I had always tried to find tiny games, candies, t-shirts...you know the kind of thing we ALL stuff stockings with. But a few years ago I came up with one idea that made my "stuffer shopping" so much easier.

Socks.

They're useful (and warm on a cold winter's night.). They're easy to find. And inexpensive. The perfect gifts. And I just couldn't resist the silliness of a sock stuffed with socks. Try it and see if your family enjoys the fun and humor of getting socks-in-a-sock, too. And if not...well...at least they'll have toasty toes!
