It is that special time of year again. Happy Holidays!

Captured Dreams Clip on Earrings

Ah December, when winter's lion arrives in force, and holiday giddiness rises. And radio stations across the United States, no matter the genre, play holiday songs.

Decorative lights are hung from the gutters or garages of houses and on outdoor trees.  And Christmas theme wreathes are hung against front doors. Inside the house, another tree goes up with treasured decorations, more lights, and maybe a decorative topper.  It is also a month with four birthstones: turquoise, blue topaz, lapis lazuli, and blue zircon.

Even with all of this I still get sentimental over what has happened during the year and the thanks I have another good year lived.  I am also thankful once more for family, friends, and of course my cat Celia!

I hope you will think along similar lines about this year and the special time we are experiencing.  Also please check out the holiday specials cliptomania.com offers and the many clip-on earrings that will make great gifts to the special persons in your life.  

Happy Mother's Day!

This year in the United States Mother's Day is

Sunday, May 13, 2018

It's a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mother's on society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, yet most commonly in March, April and May. In most countries, Mother's Day is a recent observance derived from the holiday as it has evolved in America.  When it was adopted by other countries and cultures, it was given different meanings, associated to different events (religious, historical or legendary), and celebrated on a different date or dates. Some countries already had existing celebrations honoring motherhood that could be traced back to ancient festivals like the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival to Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration.

Their celebrations have adopted

several external characteristics from the U.S. holiday, like giving carnations and other presents to your own mother.  The extent of the celebrations varies greatly. In some countries, it is potentially offensive to one's mother not to mark "her" day.  In others, it is a little-known festival celebrated mainly by immigrants, or covered by the media as a taste of foreign culture.

We think mother's are special and deserve a day of honor and appreciation.
