My favorite collection is one of old vintage Christmas books. Any book with a theme that involves Christmas I add to my collection. I even have one about Ghosts that have been seen at Christmas! LOL! One day when I retire I plan to start to read the over 200 Christmas books I have collected (most of which were purchased on Ebay)! Anyone else collect Christmas Books?

I worked and we were BUSY, to say the least. (convenience store.) Today I told the boss she owed me a bottle of hair color to cover the grey. I did send a lot of the moms with kids to the mobile home park where I live, and told them not to tp the yard with the wishing well...I gave candy to the kids here at work. LOL

I recently purchased an old feather Christmas tree and the feathers fall off very easily. It also has berries on the tips of the branches and some of them have fallen off. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to preserve this tree? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Everyone! Our porch is decorated with several strings of plastic grinning jack o lantern lights twined around the front porch rails, and framing the house. A lit spider web has a spooky glow, in the window. What kind of decorations do you use? Candygirl

Hello all! This is my first time posting on this board. I have quite a few questions about Merry Minis, and I wanted to see if there was anyone here that could help me. I have several cats and mice from the 80's and I want to know if there is really a market for them here on ebay. I haven't seen many older MM's on ebay recently. If anyone here can help me, I will probably have more questions later re: pricing/reserve, etc. Thanks for you time. ~Katherine

I cannot believe that I totally forgot to get anything for the trick-or-treaters!!!!!! The worst part is that I always do little treat bags for my daycare kiddos! I guess I'll have to go tomorrow after the dentist trip and hope no one shows up before I get back from town..... (We have Halloween on the 30th and 31st -- what a pain!!) Anyone else in the same boat????

This is my first Holiday Season Selling on Ebay! I was curious as to what some of the Veteran Sellers have done in years past! Do you offer Gift Wrapping for Buyers? Do you charge, and if so, how much? Where is the best place to buy inexpensive, but Really Classy Wrapping Paper, Tags, Ribbons, and Bows? (I know that Classy and Inexpensive don't really go together, maybe someone knows where the deals are?) Is it worth doing this and offering this service? Do many buyers request it? Would really...

I have a brand new product on the market that is great for Christmas present. The only problem is no has ever heard of Beer Bottle Bolos™, so they don't know what it is. Beer Bottle Bolos™ are miniature bolos in different colors and charms that slide on the neck of your beer bottle. I like to call them Texas style wine charms for beer. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get more visibility on ebay so people when look at the Beer Bottle Bolos™....
