Green Xmas Greetings

Hi everyone, we are closer to xmas indeed.
Have you done your year retrospection yet? My personal story is that i never just to do this kind of things, call it laziness or procrastination.

At the personal level (not just in business),I now see the importance and the urgency to go over your goals and see whether you achieved them or not. What can be improved?

Regarding our responsibility towards our planet. I can see more and more people conscious of the urgency to live in harmony with our planet and with others around you. Have we reached the critical mass yet? I believe so.

I think, we just need to make a bit more of an effort next year and to be more conscious of our thoughts and actions as individuals living temporarily in this planet. And also, temporarily, living with others (which mirror our own thoughts, believes, habits etc) in order to experience and learn about ourselves.

So a goal for the coming exciting 2011 could be to be more conscious of everything without judging, accepting what is and changing just myself to make an impact in the world around me.

What's your goal? Please share below.

Decorating Tips For Halloween

Boohh Halloween is here

Can you feel Halloween in the air? People are geeting excited preparing for the Halloween parties -costumes, decorations, school parties, kids are getting batty over the preparations...

Hope you are too. If you don't have ideas for your celebrations yet, we'd like to share few green tips that will make the difference to your enjoyment.

For the decorations:

1 Hollow out mini pumpkins and use as  candle holders. They look really great, and are inexpensive. You can even carve or paint faces in them! (click here to know how to)

2 - An easy tip to enhance your party décor! is to ask your Halloween guests to bring a carved pumpkin to the party. Set up a special table to display them all on. Easy decoration and everybody contributes.

3 - Spookify your computer with a scary screensaver!

4 - Serve food like fresh veggies on a hollowed out pumpkin as a bowl. Just cut of the top off and empty it,  cut the top in a jagged edge pattern. You can use mini pumpkins for dips!

5  For taper candle holders use apples. Choose the ones with flat bottom to be safe. Cut a small round hole in the top of each apple  to hold a taper candle. Make sure the apples are shaped so that they have a flat bottom.

7 An alternative to bobbing for apples is to hang them by their stems with thread from the ceiling and let party goers try to bite them!

6 Have all your guests join in a circle and start a ghost story!  Each one adds on to the story til it reaches a scary ending!

8 Hang long strands of white thread on your porch to simulate spider webs. Make them long enough so that little kids will be able to feel them, too. Wet them or add a spooky effect to them

9 Hold a pumpkin carving contest for your kids and their friends. Painting them is also an alternative.

10 Making your own blood with beetroot, it is safer and less expensive than buying ready made!

11 Keep your pumpkin seeds when gutting your pumpkin so you can roast them up later for a fun Halloween treat!

What You Need:
Lots of toilet paper (recycling one please)
Other material you have around that can be used for this purpose

What You Do: Make two small groups or more depending of the number of participants (4 is a good number, one for the mummy and the other three to wrap). One can wrap the leags, another the arms and the third one the torso. The group to wrap their mummy faster and better than the other groups will win. Make it clear that they have to do a good job in order to win. Eyes, mouth and eyes must be uncovered.

Good luck!

The Tell-Tale Tale or Halloween Chineese wishpers

Aim of the Game: Send scary messages around the circle and let them come out totally edited as they go around. Enjoy the new creative versions and terrific remixes.

What You Need:
Just a good bunch of people and a short halloween story or tongue twister.

What You Do: For this game is more fun wth a large group. Get everyone to sit in a large circle close to each other. Have someone to start the game and the original message going and whisper a short scary message into the ear of the person sitting to the right of them. It's only allowed to whisper the message one time. That person then whispers it to the person on their right, and so on.

When every one had his go, the message is spoken aloud and the riginal message is disclosed. Start the game again using the person to the right of the originating story teller.

Tip: Tongue twisters are great fun for this game.

Here are some Halloween ideas:

"Scary Sherry sells scabby skeletons to squirmy, scaly snickering snakes."

"The ghastly, greedy, green ghost got on the gray grave and groaned greatly."

Use your creativity!


Weaving A Scary Tale

Aim of the Game: To create a scary tale, each person getting one minute and the next person take over!

Set the mood, dim the lights and light up a candle. Then, pass around the cards, facing down. Each player picks a card from the deck and begins to spin a tale for one minute. The person making up the story will hold the candle as they speak.

Then, the next person speaks and turns the story another direction. To keep the story going , they should repeat the last line spoken by the previous person.

You'll have to put an end to the game. It works better with children over six years old to adults.

Here are some ideas for spooky lines:

That night, was a stormy night ....
Creatures of the sky cried with anguish...
A banshee screamed ... The coffin creaked ...
A corps lay in the corner! It looked like ...
a hand bobbed inside the boiling pot ...
Suddenly, the door creaked open. It was a vampire! ...
There was blood on the boiling pot...the skeleton stood up ..
Rats scattered as I switched on the light ...
From the open grave rose a ...
Suddenly the severed head opened it's eyes! ...
I felt something moving on my shoulder, ...
The ghost moaned ...
