Walking through Rockefeller Center reminded me of Grand Central Terminal in the way that it is convenient for the commuters and the tourists. I just found that Rockefeller Center is more above ground while Grand Central Terminal is more below ground. When I think of Rockefeller center, I think of The Rink and many of the shops and buildings that are above ground. Rockefeller Center does have convenience when it comes to getting to your destination below ground but only the subway passes through;…

As a Northerner, the holiday season that I experienced in Minnesota is pretty different from the holiday season that my children will experience living in South Carolina. As a kid in Minnesota, Christmas morning usually meant waking up to beautiful, fluffy snow covering our yard. I’d stand over the heat register to feel the warm air blow on my legs while staring out the cold window watching the snow fall. My siblings and I would unwrap presents from Santa which inevitably included new sleds and…

Usually my kind are found in central and eastern United States, or as I'm told. I’m very lackadaisical on my own holiday because I’d rather sleep in than wake up for you people (I’m just pulling your leg.). Let me depict the scenery as I walk out of my tree stub.…

A live Christmas tree - one with growing roots that can be planted in the back yard - is becoming a popular alternative to the cut tree that has no lasting value. James Fizzell, University of Illinois horticulturist for Cook County, offers some tips that may help with the planting process after the tree has provided holiday enjoyment. First, says Fizzell, dig a hole where you plan to plant the tree. It's a good idea to plan ahead to complete the excavation before the ground freezes. Mulch the…

The games listed below are great for themed birthday parties! Pinata The piñata is a brightly-colored paper container filled with sweets and/or toys. It is generally suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations. A succession of blindfolded, stick-wielding children try to break the piñata in order to collect the sweets (traditionally sugarcane) and/or toys inside of it. Best of all you can either create or purchase a pinata that matches your theme. It may…

Christmas is coming up and I'm sure most of us are dreading those overcrowded shopping malls. Aside from the busy stores and pushy shoppers, my least favorite part of the holidays is my drindling wallet. With being a full time Mom to three children, I often find it complicated to stick to a budget. I'm always trying to keep Christmas being the "big" holiday for my family. I always try to make it extra special for everyone involved, and try to at least buy one or two things each that the kids…

Today I went to Holiday in Whoville concert with Kelly together. It is really a very good experience for me because this concert is very different than other concerts that I have been before. Compare to other concerts this concert is more like a big party for me. When the singers sing the songs on the stage, all the audience can sing along with them together. In addition, because it is almost Christmas so all the songs are relevant to Christmas. There is a chamber choir of 25 singers and one…
