Reflective Essay On Christmas Time

Decent Essays
Quite frankly, I consider myself a fanatic about Christmas time. The way I speak during Christmas time is strongly influenced by my family tradition. My family has always gone all out for Christmas and we are not afraid to express it. The words I use to express my Christmas cheer are by words that express excitement, words or phrases describing others or objects, and creative way to express my inner bitch in a PG setting. There are times that I get very excited around the holiday season, I express my excitement by simple phrases. The phrases just come out of my mouth naturally and are easily understood by friends and family. Another category are words or phrases I use to describe others or objects. I interpret Christmas or winter words into phrases that I use every day but now are considered to have more of a Christmas theme. Lastly, I use phrases that are considered PG but are very close to the elfin swear word. Often these phrases are caught on by other adults but, the children are unaware and it’s a great way to be secretive around the nosey children.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANMIAL: The phrase originates from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Home Alone is my family annual tradition movie for

Elfie can be used in many different ways. I often use Elfie to describe others that are a little Elfie for the Christmas holiday or for others that are just annoying period. For example, when someone is being annoying or just doing stupid things, I would say “Stop being so Elfie, it’s annoying.” Another word is Elfin, which is a PG way of basically saying the elfin F word. I use the word the best way I know how which means basically saying it after every word. For example, if I were to hit my toe against the corner of the wall I would most likely shout “that ELFIN wall! Or Oh my ELFIN god!” But only when I know that the F bomb isn’t appropriate to

    A Christmas Carol Analysis I have loved A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens since I was little so I was very excited to see how Michael Daehn brought this iconic story to life. In his version, I believe that Daehn wanted to convey the heart of this story. To share the message of hope and selflessness and redemption and perhaps to inspire and enlighten the audience. By choosing to use a version of this play that incorporates music he not only brought this story to life but brought the audience into the story.…

    A Psychoanalytical Approach to “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” Christmas is a time of celebration, joy, generous offerings, spending time with loved ones, and most importantly, coming together as a community. For the most part, everyone loves Christmas; except for the Grinch. In Dr.Suess’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Grinch is portrayed as a bitter, vengeful, old man who hates the entirety of the Christmas season. His indignant attitude is especially evident when he overlooks the Whos down in Whoville during the holidays: “he stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos, staring down from his cave with a sour, grinchy frown, at the warm lighted windows below in their town” (Suess, 10-12).…

    “Cracked hands that ached from labor… fearing the chronic angers of that house… What did I know, what did I know” (Those Winter Sundays 1.3, 1.4 , 2.4, 3.4). Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden is about a male that is recollecting past memories of his childhood and the hardships that his father endured in and out of his job. Through thorough examination of the poem, the meaning of the poem is much more than just simply a young man looking back at his past and talking about it but rather about his regret towards his father and the things his father had done for him.…

    A Christmas Carol is the story of an old man’s fantastic adventure one Christmas Eve. Ebenezer Scrooge’s adventure is a journey of discovery – learning that a heart filled with goodwill and charity, instead of bitterness and greed are more valuable and prosperous to the soul than material riches. Before his adventure, Ebenezer Scrooge complained to his nephew the morning of Christmas Eve, “If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!” At the end of his adventure, by the dawn of Christmas Day, he awoke a changed man and a champion for the Christmas spirit, not just on Christmas Day, but all year.…

    Come what may, the future isn’t what it used to be. Although time flies straight as an arrow and fruit flies like a banana, today remains tenaciously yesterday’s tomorrow and the hours flee, taking final flight on painted words, nimble wit, and lambent shadows of film noir cinematographers; however, while always time for tea and bosom buddies, make haste slowly laboring over these Herculean writing efforts - for they are a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done before. Embrace these scribbled pages to your savage Dean’s breast with the lubricating grasp of a paramour and not the parsimonious grip of a Scrooge. Dive in wholeheartedly, to titillatingly uncover a comma-shaped, goat-horned cornucopia of constantly abiding punctuation pleasures and consummate, picture-perfect introductory mental image snapshots, overflowing with highly polished calcite crystals and so satisfyingly stuffed with an impulsively sanguine overabundance of semi-colons, split infinitives, transitioning coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunction appetizers; plus, an apéritif cocktail of exclamation…

    The setting, lights, costuming, and actors worked cohesively to project a beautiful and whimsical adaption of Charles Dickens story. However, in my opinion, the most enjoyable aspect of my Friday night was the life lesson I grasped from sitting in the third row, investing myself in the storyline and the themes engraved deep in the script. A Christmas Carol, yet fun and lighthearted, was also courageously satirical for today’s politics, teaching society a valuable lesson about the responsibility of each man; to help those less fortunate with the fortune you…

    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.…
