Obviously, and unfortunately, it is too late to get those Christmas decorations for Christmas 2010, but it's not too late to check around to stores like your local drug store or department store for those baskets of clearance items that were left over from the holidays. It is actually much better to purchase any decorations after the holiday. In this way you are able to get the best deals, and you can even purchase a bin or two that you can store the new items before the next year.
I have a pre-lit package Christmas tree that I got a few years ago, and after the holidays I collected some very pretty Christmas ornaments that I was able to unbox and use the next year--brand new! Dollar stores are a great place to purchase Christmas items for decoration, too. Artificial Christmas trees cost a lot less, at least 25% less after Christmas.
You can check your local Home Depot or if you are lucky enough to have a Garden Ridge Pottery in your area, you can find a very nice, pre-lit tree that you can attic away until next Christmas. Just don't forget that you got it! It's a year before you get to use it again.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
