Christmas Made Easier by the Computer
With the coming of Christmas many people may be looking for ways of decorating their house as well as for some their computers.
For those looking to decorate their house without spending an arm and a leg, there are a few websites that offer instructions on creating decorations for the cost of ink and paper.
A 3-D Christmas tree is probably one of the simplest items to make. It consists of 5 folded trees put together to make a standing tree.
A lot more complicated but very attractive, is a reindeer and sleigh, which of course are also three-dimensional.
A collection of all sorts of paper decorations including some Christmas related items can be found at www.papertoys.com.
And for children who want to write to Santa there are two possible locations both of which take children's security and privacy very seriously. Along with being able to write Santa a letter,emailsanta.com also includes a countdown timer which is counting down the time until Santa arrives at children's homes. Northpole.com includes many activities and games as well. It seems to be more geared for everyone with links for parents, teachers and kids. To make it easier for children, it automatically opens to a child-friendly page.
