January is the perfect month to visit Museums and indoor fairs.  Since it’s usually one of the coldest months of the year, we can take full advantage of the comfort of one of these indoor current exhibitions.  I have listed 6 great Museum exhibitions and fairs around the world that offer that and more.  From a notable look at the struggle of immigrants at the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York City to the first exhibition of Charles I’s massive and impressive collection at The Royal Academy in London.

I know we haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving yet, but to my defense, Christmas decorating takes a lot more time and planning than Thanksgiving.  Although this last statement may as well be subjective…  For now, I can’t wait to start listening to Christmas songs while imagining decorating our Christmas tree and also while doing almost everything else.  Unfortunately, our home is far from being ready, so our own Christmas tree may not happen this year, but I can’t wait to enjoy others.  The king of the season is, of course, the Christmas tree which will need a respective tree collar or tree skirt.  Here is a fabulous roundup:
