Phones for the Holidays and Beyond

To connect consumers during the holidays and year-round, VTech’s latest DECT 6.0 cordless phone systems offer superior call quality, range and reception for the conversations that matter most. VTech offers a variety of phone systems for under $100.

For people who rely primarily on mobile phones but experience problems with spotty reception at home or have trouble hearing their cell phones from another room, VTech’s DS6421-3 (MSRP: $99.95) Connect to Cell™ phone system is a great solution. This all-in-one phone system allows users to make and receive cellular and landline calls, while enjoying the high-definition audio sound clarity, comfort and ease of a VTech cordless home phone.

With the majority of consumers (82 percent) and nearly all parents (92 percent) saying a device that would help them multi-task and get more done is very/somewhat important, the VTech LS6475-3 (MSRP: $99.95) phone system with a built-in cordless headset is sure to top their wish list. The system comes with both a regular handset plus a comfortable cordless headset, so consumers can keep talking – hands-free – while cooking holiday meals, wrapping presents or managing other household tasks.

My family and I are going to spend Thanksgiving weekend with my sister and her husband. I haven't spent Thanksgiving with my sister in 8 years, so we are really looking forward to it!

I am going to have my parents out for Thanksgiving and then we are going to their place on the 9th of December for a Christmas play that my parents will be in. We will also be getting together on the 8th with friends from my husband's work for a company party.

I want to reconnect with my husband. He works so hard during the year, but always has the last 3 weeks of the year off. It's our special time to bond and relax!

For thanksgiving we will be at my Mom's house. It has been a tradition now since Dad passed, as this was the last Holiday we were all together at.

For Christmas, we will be at my house! Easier for me with 3 kids! We hope to have my mom, brother and his family, and my in-laws as well!

I am hoping to reconnect with my husband's side of the family. He was adopted and his birth mother and half sister just found him on facebook. It would be nice to get to know them better.

This year I am REALLY excited because we are working hard to reconnect with my Aunt (Uncle and cousin too), who we have not had contact with for over 20 years. A lot has changed over the years, and we are trying to catch up. It is so exciting to be re-building the close connection we used to have.

I'm finding that I've got a lot in common with my Aunt as she is very crafty. She is remotely (via phone, Skype, internet, email, etc as we are litterally as far apart as you can be in the US - Seattle WA vs Jacksonville FL) trying to help me with a baby clothes quilt I am attempting to start.

There are health concerns, making the process more important and time sensitive. So sad, but oh so exciting.

This year we fly from Tennessee to California and get to be with our family there for 15 days. WE can't wait!!! We'll have good quality time with sisters, brothers and our daughter's cousins. They live overseas, so this time together is so special.
