Making
a Balloon Float
by Michael Webb


An inexpensive gift is a mylar balloon filled with helium. Because they are so light, they are rather cheap to mail. Put one or two in a box and put a piece of cardboard over them before you seal the box. You don't want your sweetheart to accidentally burst them when opening the present.

Things you
can do tonight!


Mail it to his or her office or to the house. A note on the box should tell them to open only inside. Of course, that is because when the box is opened the balloons will rise and hearts will soar.


Christmas In July

Most people have a love/hate relationship with Christmas.

They love the food. Hate the weight gain. Love giving presents. Hate the crowds. Love the music. Hate having six weeks of it. Love the true meaning. Hate the commercialism that seems to overshadow it.

There is a way to have the best of Christmas and leave the rest behind. Celebrate it in July.

I'm not suggesting giving up the late December festivities but if your mate really loves Christmas, surprise them with a one night bonus celebration in the middle of Summer.

If possible, drag out the artificial tree while your love is away for the day or weekend and decorate it. If you always get a real one, go to a nursery and find a small potted evergreen to light up.

Bake a some of your love's favorite holiday goodies. Put a few presents under the tree. Turn the air conditioner on high and light a crackling fire in the fireplace while listening to your favorite Christmas tunes.

Of course you can't forget the eggnog. Most stores don't carry it in the summer so you will have to make it from scratch.  Here's one recipe.

RECIPE FOR EGGNOG

1 dozen Medium Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 ½ quarts Milk
1 pint Heavy Cream, whipped
Powdered nutmeg
Up to 750-ml of brandy or rum if desired

Separate eggs, beat yolks in large serving bowl, adding sugar while beating. Stir in milk and cream. If using alcohol, slowing add and then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Before serving, whip egg whites stiff. Mix into eggnog, dust with nutmeg.

And for my readers in the Southern Hemisphere, maybe for once you can have a white Christmas!
