Some people dress their pets up to protect them from the cold, snow or rain … others dress them up for special holidays.

Do you dress up your pets for fun? For Halloween, Christmas or other holidays? If you do I’d love to see your photos!

So far we haven’t dressed up our puppy and I’ve said in the past that she won’t likely ever be in a costume. We did however buy her a winter coat (that’s too big for her right now!) as she sometimes seems cold when she’s outside. We also bought her some booties for her paws to protect them from the ice and the salt people put done to melt the ice and snow. That stuff cuts their tender paws!

Ok here’s some festive animals:

A mouse to help pull the sleigh …

Turkey Dog

Santa Paws?

and Mrs. Claus Paws?

Of course we can’t forget the turkey that’s all dressed for the holidays can we?

Remember if you have any funny photos that you’d like me to post feel free to send them to me by email.

Hey with the holidays coming up soon I bet quite a few of you are beginning to do your shopping. If you are you might want to visit Kickstime.com where you can take advantage of their back in business sale and get some great deals!

If you need to buy shoes for the kids or yourself take a look at their selection of Air Jordans, Bathing Apes and Air Dunks - both of which are on sale right now.

Of course they don’t just sell running shoes. They have a selection of Prada and Gucci shoes as well as Red Monkey Jeans, Evisu jeans, hoodies, shirts, handbags and hats.

The company is based in London, England but they ship world wide. I always appreciate an online store that offers international shipping. As well as shipping worldwide they ship for free!

Another thing that I like about this company is that there are several ways to contact them if need be. You can write to them using their postal address or by email or call their toll free number. Most online stores don’t offer a telephone number let alone a toll free one so I appreciate that Kickstime.com does this.

As I said if you are starting to shop for the holidays visit this online store. You might find an item that would make a perfect gift for one of your friends or relatives.

The Holiday Season is just about over isn’t it? I hope that everyone had a great holiday and got the things that they wanted. I also hope that you didn’t end up spending too much money on gifts for your family, friends, and if you are like me - maybe even yourself.

I know that a lot of people dread the Holiday Season because of how much money they spend during the holidays. I’ve even known a few people who’ve driven themselves into debt because of holiday spending. More than a few people now that I think about it - a lot of people that I know have gotten themselves into major financial trouble by being generous at Christmas time.

The best way to prevent getting into trouble during the holidays is to have a budget. If you only have $100 or $500 to spend on everyone - stick to it. Unfortunately, it can be hard to stick to the budget. You remember someone that you didn’t budget for, or you find a perfect gift for your parents and it costs two or three times more than you planned.

If you do find yourself in debt it’s best to begin taking care of the problem before it escalates and gets worse. This is where a company like Loanwize, the sponsor of this post comes in handy. They offer advice on personal loans and mortgages. The site is full of information on all types of loans, and everything associated with loans such as interest rates, variable interest, and all the different types of mortgages.

If you find yourself in debt in the new year think about your options. If you own your home secured loans might be a good choice. After reading information on the Loanwize site I’ve learned that secured loans often offer lower interest rates, and lower interest rates mean that you will save some of the cost of borrowing.

Hopefully, none of my readers end up having problems in the new year, but if you do, the best advice that I can give you is to take care of it quickly before it snowballs into a big mess.

I just found a great site where you can get eCards for the holidays or any special occasion. I’ve been going through their list of free Christmas cards and some of them are hilarious! I think I’m going to send some to my friends and relatives this year.

Have you seen the movie Snakes on a Plane? Yeah? Well how about Snakes on a sleigh? You have got to see this ecard. I know you’ll want to send it to someone you know once you see it. It’s funny, devious and downright hilarious. I love the look in the elves eye as he’s plotting his revenge. LOL

Or you might like the 5 top pick up lines that Santa’s elves use to get the women. I wonder if any of those lines work? The ecard is called A Christmas pick me up and I think the little elf means that literally. The elf is great, I enjoyed his corny laugh. Go see it, I’ll wait.

Egreetings.com offers membership to it’s clients for 13.99 per year, but you’ll get a 30 day trial to send eCards when you register with egreetings.com and with membership you’ll also be able to schedule eCards to get to the recipient immediately or you can schedule them to arrive on specific dates.

I’m thinking about signing up if they are all that funny. How about you?
