The basis of the celebration can be traced back to Roman celebration and to Europe in the middle ages. Carnaval is largely celebrated in Spain, during…

A Christmas Carol play review On December First 2015 I saw A Christmas Carol the play at the Trinity Repetory Company.In Providence Rhode Island at 10:30 AM.

I thought the special effects in the play were magnificent .One of the special effects that I thought was very impressive was when they…

As Christmas time approaches this year, my thoughts turn to the many traditions that my family has developed throughout my lifetime. Most traditions that I celebrate have lots in common with any standard American household, such as opening presents and spending time with family. There is a slight twist with the whole spending time with family part though. On my father’s side of the family most are avid outdoorsmen and women, and from this common characteristic sprung a new tradition. Christmas…

Christmas is approaching and they have no money to buy the other a present. They both stumble upon the talent show taking place in town. The…

Everyone was sleeping, not very well deserved, but needed following the night we had. After six long months of not seeing each other, my extended family and I had stayed up a little too late, sharing stories and laughter. Uncle Matt and Uncle Richard had gone to bed around eleven o’clock, something we should have done as well. Instead, the other sixteen of us stayed put,…

Imagine being pressured into stealing money from your own parents. Ashleys is an average teenage girl, until her parents got divorced, she knew that it was never good in the beginning.
