Rumor has it.. that is it’s the “Holla Days”

As soon as people ripped off their halloween costumes, it seemed that they were caught putting up their christmas lights. We should take a moment to pay tribute to the poor forgotten holiday that is caught between these two events; thanksgiving. Good, now let's focus on the presents, oops I mean the present.
It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Spirits are lifted and everyone seems to be in a better mood. The days have gotten a bit colder and the hats and mittens are out. Christmas music is on the radio and ABC family has started their 25 days of Christmas. It’s the time to watch ELF about 300 times and cook cookies that have little christmas tree prints

    Australia has a proud heritage and an enduring cultural identity. What are we celebrating on January 26 and what does it mean to be Australian? Traditionally, it's about celebrating the First Fleet's arrival in 1788 and recognising the early convicts and settlers. The fact that our language, political and legal institutions are inherited from the British Isles, not anymore. The cultural left tells us that it's all about multiculturalism and celebrating diversity and difference, with some even arguing that Australia Day should be renamed Invasion Day.…

    Dr. Karsonya Wise Whitehead is a mother, activist, and professor. In her speech for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Memorial Convocation “From Black Power to Black Lives Matter,” she asked her audience, “What can you do and what are you doing?” This question resonated with me for I have asked myself the same question. When faced with the news of brutality and more lost souls, I cannot help but wonder what can be done about such injustice? This pain and disregard for human life, especially for those of color, has continued to be a systematic issue for centuries.…

    In “The meaning of King Holiday” Dr. King’s wife, says that MLK day should be a day of service. “What she means by that is how can others others serve after graduating and entering the “adult” world?” Well like MLK he didn't know what to do with his life after graduating and yet after his lifetime all races have equal rights. I am not saying everyone within their lifetime will make that huge of a change in the world. Even doing the little stuff will help change the world in some sort of way.…

    It’s a holiday we should remember as an experience, of love and closeness, not stress and anxiety. It should be a time to give thanks for all the blessings we have received throughout the year. I am sure Christmas means something different to different people; however, I think we can all agree that in the end our family is what matters. It goes as the saying says, “brought together by blood, but kept together by love.” With that said, I choose to instill in my family the true meaning of Christmas, and I apologize in advance if I offend you, but I wish you and yours a very “MERRY…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…
