I have already decided what I want for Christmas this year. I know, I know - it’s not even Halloween yet so I shouldn’t be thinking about Christmas. But the thing is, I didn’t get a chance to go on a big summer vacation this year like I usually do so I’ve got the travel itch in me. It doesn’t matter that it’s months away - I already know that I want to go on an all inclusive vacation for Christmas.

It’s probably actually a good thing that I know in advance what I want because I think this means that I can get a really good deal on the vacation if I start acting on it now. I’ve already starting looking at all inclusive vacations to caribbean which is where I think I’d like to go although I haven’t decided for sure yet if that’s the right destination.

Part of me thinks that I should hold off and see what’s going on around the holidays before I book the trip. After all, you’re supposed to spend this time of the year with family and no one else wants to talk about their holiday plans yet since it’s still just the beginning of autumn. But I really want to go on this vacation so I think I’ll just go ahead and make the plans!

Ask yourself what the most dangerous thing you have in your car might be. Believe it or not, there’s a good chance it’s your kids. When kids get restless in the car, they get rowdy and take your attention off of the road. That poses a risk to everyone in the car as well as to the other drivers near you.

In order to keep kids calm and quiet in the car, it’s a good idea to have an array of car games at your disposal. When the kids get sick of the "alphabet game" and don’t want to sing car songs, you can turn them on to the safety sign game. In addition to keeping them entertained, you can use the game to educate them about safety on the road.

There are several variations on the safety sign game but the basic idea is that your kids are supposed to look for signs that warn about danger. Pedestrians crossing, curves up ahead and hazardous materials at construction signs are all advertised on the road. The winner of the game may be the first kid to find ten signs, the first kid to notice a specific sign or the kid with the most signs counted at the end of the trip.

While the game is going on, you can teach your kids about what each of the different signs mean. You can also educate them in other ways. For example, if you see a solar safety sign, you can use it to give your kids a brief insight into the importance of solar signs and the role they play in being earth-friendly. Games like this are good for your kids - and for everyone else that’s on the road!
