Christmas music

with my close friends and family; we have nice traditions for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve/Day. Yum! I can smell the Cajun flavored turkey baking in the oven; see the cheese bubble on the fresh hot baked macaroni and cheese, the lovely smells of the pumpkin pies. Thanksgiving is here, cars pulling in the drive way, dishes clingy, chaotic noise from the children running wild and free, such…

was time to dig him up. When children mysteriously begin to disappear and reindeer by the dozen are found dead, everyone starts to come to terms this isn't the Santa and his elves that we've always pictured. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale was a honorable film to the Christmas Horror genre, unlike most that involve a psychopath murder going after naughty people. Rare Exports had a genuine story that leads to marvelous things yet in the ending had me jaw dropped. Amusing scares that had me…

What is the origin of Christmas? Is it from the Bible or from paganism? What is the origin of Santa Claus , mistletoe, Christmas trees, holly wreaths and exchanging of gifts? Many are concerned about putting "Christ back into Christmas." Was he ever there? I don't think he was! The Christas tree, Santa, exchanging of gifts, and the 12 days of Christmas (Saturnalia) all have their roots in paganism! And I will do my best to show you why I believe what I believe. Every year after Thanksgiving,…

The Christmas story, based off the writings and film by Jean Shepherd. The play was held at Tennessee Performing Arts Center on the 27th of November. The film “The Christmas Story” is a classic, so I chose this play to see because it was a perfect to get me in the Christmas spirit. In hallway way before the theatre, they had displayed props from the show such as the leg lamp and the pink bunny costume. These props added excitement before the show started. As we entered the theatre, Christmas…

traditions is to go out and get the Christmas tree the Monday after Thanksgiving. We all go and pick out the tree that we want. It cannot be too big or too small, too fat or too skinny, it must be just right. After we find the tree, me and my brother always try to find a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. These are the twigs that have been cut off of the trees that have been sawed down. After we get our tree put on the top of our car, we go to the Dunkin’ Doughnuts by Edwards Music, and Little…

When I first learned about the mid term project I did not think about what relationship I wanted to do the project on until I was talking to my roommate about home. I realized that I wanted to do my project on my mom who reminds me of home all the time. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do with this until I saw some of the other presentations on the first day and that is where I discovered my inspiration and that night I worked on my first art piece. This whole process was definitely a…

The bleakness of winter can sometimes cause people to experience the winter blues. These people fall into a state of melancholy, and sometimes even depression, because of the cold gloominess that an Idaho winter can bring. If you were to compare people to birds, most birds are miserable in Idaho during the winter. When temperatures start dropping they retreat to warmer weather where they are more comfortable. Like birds, some people migrate south for several months to avoid the bitter cold Idaho…

comical quality and associations with a certain type of narcissistic, eyebrow-arching, middle-aged man that is now too culturally ingrained. But if you can rock a turtleneck, more power to you. It’s just not me. This is why it puzzles me that, every Christmas since I was five, I’ve received a turtleneck from one relative or another. For as long as I have been able to dress myself, I’ve been receiving turtlenecks and have yet to wear one. I don’t think I’m a particularly chilly-necked person, nor…
