My husband hates when I ask him to drag out the Christmas decorations every year. It continually is a fiasco because we never store them correctly or in an organized way, and they are never in a convenient place. The Christmas decorations generally end up behind all of the summer items that were brought into the Christmas decoration storage from outside, so I usually have to set aside an entire day for him to drag everything up to the main floor.
I love Christmas decorations, which doesn’t help the situation. We have boxes and boxes full, and we’ve only had our own place to decorate for about four years. I really don’t know where all of our decorations came from but I love all of them. I know we inherited some of my grandmother’s Christmas decorations gifts, which of course are my most cherished. They may not be the most beautiful Christmas decorations, but they hold special meaning and many childhood memories so they are displayed most prominently.
Then there are the decorations that my mother purchased for us, or that his mother purchased, or even that friends and extended family purchased. We have a huge amount of lighted Christmas decorations, but they are always tastefully displayed. Now, my mother in law’s house looks like Santa threw up in it every time Christmas rolls around. She is a total craft nut, so she has countless Christmas decorations that are just scattered everywhere around the house. And I mean everywhere.
I don’t think there is one inch in that house that is not covered in red, green or gold during the holiday season. There are knitted tissue box covers, toilet seat covers, wall hangings, quilts; you name it and it is there. So many commercial Christmas décor that you can’t even distinguish where one ends and where another begins. But she loves them, so I suppose that is all that matters. Then there is my family. Hardly any decorations because they clutter the house, and they even started using an artificial tree the past few years.
There are a few poinsettias, a few spatterings of gold bows and green wreaths but nowhere near the explosion of my mother in laws home. I am now seeing that the home my husband and I have created is certainly a mixture of both of our backgrounds, melding into the perfect display of Christmas decorations. I don’t think we’d have it any other way.

Although the product description in the webpage states that the package contains 10 Test Strips and the Glucose Control Solution, the product arrived without the items. The box clearly indicates these items are not included in the package though. So the product desciption at amazon.com is wrong!

good product
Review Date: June 4, 2008
Reviewer: SSE, College Station, TX USA
I feel the product is good, have not used it yet, but I believe it will work out well, slightly on the expensive side but I paid for the brand value
Very easy to use
Review Date: June 6, 2005
Reviewer: an Italian in New York,
This monitor is very easy to use. It comes with a lancet device included (Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device) and 10 lancets but no strips; therefore, in order to use it even once, you must buy the strips. I bought the Accu-Chek Active Blood Glucose Test Strips and they work. Given that 10 lancets last only ten times, you are better off buying lancets right away. Careful! You must buy the Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets (the Accu-Check SoftTouch Lancets will NOT work).
Once you have all your equipment, you do the following. Every time that you buy a new box of Strip, you must put the microchip in the monitoring kit.
The routine is very easy: load the lancet device; load the strip in the monitoring kit; use the lancet device to make a tiny prick in your finger, put the drop of blood on strip. Five seconds and you get the answer.
Great Monitor

Reviewer: RescueFire, Michigan USA
I've been a diabetic for 33 years. This is the nicest monitor I've used yet. Very quick, very user friendly and Amazon has the best price out there. I did my research and found that Amazon was the least expensive and delivery was free with my $25.00 order of a few other supplies. Delivery was quick and it saved me running to the local Kmart (30 miles away) and paying almost $5.00 more.
