I'm starting to see the countdown to Christmas all over the internet. There are still quite a few days left and time to make gifts for our friends and family. Gifts that are personalized and at least partially made at home are really special for the recipient and not as expensive as the latest gadget. It's also a great way to get children involved with the spirit of giving.

Thanksgiving is a day for indulgence. After all, that's what feasts are for. But even if you're cheating on Turkey Day, you can make a few easy choices that can help make them just a little healthier. Did I mention it's easy? So why not give it a try, or at least give it some consideration when preparing your menu.

I spent weeks trying to figure out the perfect costume, one that would properly reflect my personality. Sure, I thought about Star Trek uniforms and Jedi robes, but those seemed kind of on-the-nose...and expensive.

Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy and Werewolf are retired. No, seriously, quit their kill-innocent-people night jobs. They are tired of villagers with pitchforks chasing them out of town. Dracula dreads that next "stake-in-heart" near fatal incident. The Mummy and Frankenstein's feet ache from stomping about and Werewolf wants to chill…arrooo!
This Halloween the gruesome foursome will relax on a sofa, sit next to a warm fire (
the Mummy, not so much) and drink blood or snack on flesh and watch the top ten most popular horror movies of all time courtesy of
Netflix.

Veterans Day is November 11th and as a thank you to Veterans several businesses are offering
freebies or great deals. This year you can get a free night at a Bed & Breakfast and a few free meals.
If you're looking for a fun weekend, you can get free entry to Colonial Williamsburg for you and your dependents.
Free tickets are available for concert, sporting events and more, all you have to sign up!
If anyone reading this
has tickets you aren't going to use, you can donate them! National Parks have a free weekend if anyone wants
to do some camping. I recommend making sure you have your military ID on you when getting the freebies and deals below. None say they require it, but you may be asked to produce the ID.
If you're a veteran, a big hug to you from me in Seattle!

Throwing a Halloween bash doesn't have to be expensive. Instead of offering a full meal, serve some tasty and scary snacks! I've put together a menu to get you started, but you don't have to stop there. If you'd like to offer more sweets, head to the candy aisle and see what you can find on sale. Often you can get candy corn for as low as $1 a bag.
Looking for more salty snacks? Opt for a generic brand of potato chips. Once they are out of the bag, no one will know the difference. Add some dip and maybe a bag of pretzels, and you have another option for your guests.

Shop Smarter
Halloween is right around the corner. Men, unlike women, do not like to shell out money for one outfit they will probably never wear again. You can save money, buy something you would wear and still have a costume. Go as Jason Voorhees! Remember the movie "Friday the 13th"? The iconic hockey mask is that extra accessory you may not find useful unless you play rollerblade or street hockey.
The rest of the terror ensemble you can buy at
Macy's.

It's at the top of your Halloween shopping list: getting a pumpkin! But what size is best? What type? Finding the perfect pumpkin doesn't have to be hard, but the first step is deciding what you will use the pumpkin for. Once you've decided that, it's easy to narrow it down.

When it comes time to shop for Halloween goodies, it can be tempting to throw all thoughts of healthy eating out the window. After all, this is a holiday about eating sugary treats, right? But you can still make better choices about what snacks you choose to "cheat" with.
