Ceramic Christmas trees have made a huge comeback, and affordable options are available online.

Youll never regret helping more people.
This season, learn about your familys heritage and adopt a few customs for your celebration.
Adding a respectful celebration to your holiday plans can be fun and meaningful.
A favorite is Pass the Present or the Left-Right game.
Every time the word right is read, you pass the gift in front of you to the right.
You pass to the left when the word left is said.
At the end, you unwrap the gift in front of you and guess who brought it.
This year, consider a new way to celebrate Christmas.
