Christmas (IPA: /krɪsməs/), also referred to as Christmas Day or Christmastide, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25[2] that marks and honors the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.[3][4][5] His birth, which is the basis for the Anno Domini system of dating, has been determined by modern historians as having occurred between 7 and 2 BC. The date of celebration is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and may have been chosen to coincide with ancient Roman solar festivals that were held on December 25.[6]

Modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, church celebrations, and the display of various decorations—including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe, nativity scenes and holly. Santa Claus (also referred to as Father Christmas, although the two figures have different origins) is a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between St. Nicholas of Myra and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media.

Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. The holiday is widely celebrated around the world, including in the United States, where it is celebrated by 96% of the population.[7] Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers

Happy Diwali

Wishing you a happy & prosperous Diwali

Diwali wishes to all cakenflowers.com

Deepavali, or Diwali, (Markiscarali) is a major Indian festival, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. [3] Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being . The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists. Hindus tend to treat and celebrate Diwali as Christians treat and celebrate Christmas.

According to one theory Diwali may have originated as a harvest festival, marking the last harvest of the year before winter. In an agrarian society this results in businessmen closing accounts, and beginning a new accounting year. The deity of wealth in Hinduism, goddess Lakshmi is therefore thanked on this day and everyone prays for a good year ahead. This is the common factor in Diwali celebrations all over the Indian subcontinent.

In many parts of India, it is the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile in the forest.[4] The people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepavali. This word, in due course, became Diwali in Hindi. But, in South Indian languages, the word did not undergo any change, and hence the festival is called Deepavali in southern India. Southern India marks it as the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura.

Diwali is celebrated on the first day of the lunar Kartika month, which comes in the month of October or November.

In Jainism it marks the nirvana of Lord Mahavira, which occurred on October 15, 527 BCE. The Sikhs celebrate Diwali for a different reason; on this day, the Sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, was freed from imprisonment along with 52 Hindu Kings (political prisoners) whom he had arranged to be released as well. After his release he went to Darbar Sahib (golden temple) in the holy city of Amritsar. There, he was greeted by Sikhs and many other people. In happiness they lit candles and diyas to greet the Guru. In India, Diwali is now considered to be a national festival, and the aesthetic aspect of the festival is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith.[5]

Finally wishing all of customers , wellwishers and friends a very Happy & Prosperous Diwali from the entire team at Cakenflowers.com

Celebrate mothers day from www.cakenflowers.com

Make-Up or Spa: We love mom just the way she is, but every woman likes to “freshen up.” Does mom need new make-up or a beauty product rejuvenation? You could make an appointment at the local spa (like last year) or, better yet, pamper her with cool personal care gifts that she can use at home for more than just a day. i personally would prefer Pineapple Spa located near the Palace in Gudabiya

Treat Mom to Tea
Afternoon tea is so civilized, and such a great way to spend time with mom. Many cities have at least one parlor or hotel that offers a traditional afternoon tea with a savory course of finger sandwiches on a 3-tier tray, followed by assorted petit fours. If available in your area, Japanese tea service is a lovely experience as well. Try afternoon tea at the Diplomat Radisson in Diplomatic Area

Walk into the Sunset
Take your mum and some old pictures and walk along the shore watching the sunset. You could pack a small snack and a grass mat with some chairs to watch the sunset pondering over your special childhood moments together . A cup of hot tea is also recommended.

Making your fresh flowers last longer

A fresh flower boquet may mesmerize you but make boquets droop within hours or a day after you receive them. This small piece of information can be quite useful when you receive your next boquet. That way you can make sure that you can enjoy your boquet for a lot longer time than usual.

Take care to select the flower stems before you put them into a vase.

  • Flower stems should be green and smooth, not slimy
  • Water should smell fresh
  • No broken stems or drooping buds


Before You Put them into the Vase

  • Keep cut flowers cool, until you can get them into water
  • Make a fresh cut an inch or two up the stem, while stems are under water
  • Make sure the vase and cutting tools are clean
  • Remove any leaves that will be below the water surface
  • Use the packet of flower food that comes with your flowers


Caring for Your Cut Flowers - Keep Them Blooming

  • Keep cut flowers out of direct sunlight and drafts
  • Change the water frequently (Every other day)
  • Make a fresh cut each time you change the water


Good Choices for Long Lasting Cut Flowers

  • Alstroemerias (6-14 days) Very popular, even though most people wouldn’t know them by name. However they are sensitive to fluoride in water and ethylene gas. Keep away from produce.

  • Carnations (7-14 days) Carnations are extremely dependable. They just keep coming out with new varieties and what colors they can’t breed, they simply dye.

  • Delphiniums (7-14 days) You can’t beat Delphiniums for shades of blue and purple. Like Alstroemeria, these are sensitive to ethylene gas.

  • Lilies (7-14 days) Choose sprays with a few slightly opened lower buds. Remove the anthers to prevent pollen from coming in contact with clothing and staining.

  • Roses (6-12 days) The classic. And with over 20,000 varieties, they never get boring.

  • Sunflowers (6-12 days) Generally available in late summer. Sunflowers can be top heavy, so use a vase that can support them.

Best of Luck!!!

Cakenflowers.com " A website with love in mind "


Hi,
My name is Roger Pinto. This is my way to make people happy . This website gives choice for people to choose for the best fresh flowers, gifts , chocolates and send them to their loved ones worldwide. My aim is to bridge the gap between the suppliers & the retailers and come somewhere in the middle. The whole idea about www.cakenflowers.com dint start just like that. One day about 2 years ago , my mum came home and asked me that she had a customer who came to her gift store and enquired about sending gifts to india. She dint know about it and told him to enquire at the flower store opposite the road called "Little Flower" , but the guy there was too expensive , he quoted almost 30B.d about 3000rs and so the customer left. Soon enough the customer returned to my mums store and told her ,that he placed an order on a flower website which did the delivery in India for just 350 bucks . Then there was silence and i told me , Hey here goes another part time business . Lets call it Express Flower Delivery Service " One solution , Any Occassion " , its my slogan . So after 2 long years and few hundred deliveries to our credit , this year we decided to launch our new webportal baby " www.cakenflowers.com "




Check out my first leaflet for Express Flower Delivery Service " One Solution , Any Occassion "
