Christmas controversy

The time I went to Tennessee It was close to the end of the of November and my little brother's birthday was on the 21st of November. We're leaving for Tennessee on 17th we were on the road but the drive was silent because everybody was occupied rather it was playing the game or listening to music. I was just looking out the window enjoying the view there were alot of trees and water around and the sky was a little bit of blue and a little bit of pink which meant the sun was leaving until the…

Thanksgiving at my house is always crammed with mouthwatering food, and great fellowship between family members. Every year we gather to enjoy each other’s company, and devour some scrumptious food. One year we might congregate at grannies house, and another year we may meet up at uncle TJ’s. The location may change but the thanksgiving meal never does; it always consists of turkey, stuffing, and green bean casserole. Carving the turkey on thanksgiving has long been a tradition in my family.…

Last November, a week before Thanksgiving, I was listening to the morning radio talk show The Woody Show and the hosts were talking about how excited they were for the Thanksgiving feast. They all went around and shared what was their perfect meal for that day. It ranged from fried turkey, to stuffing, cornbread, green bean casserole, and towards the end the hosts argued about cranberry sauce. However, they all agreed that pumpkin pie was essential to the perfect meal. I found it very…

Most people wrongly assume summer to be the most popular of the four seasons, but it is really fall that the American population look forward to most, according to Simon Nygeuen’s poll that asked 8,000 Americans which season they loved the most, in which over half of the votes went to autumn. And who can blame them? With bewitching scenery, tranquil weather, and an assortment of fall-related festivities around every corner, what’s not to love about autumn?

Forty days after lent that day of the year arrived. Dying eggs, hours spent at church, and the sight of the beloved yet, creepy, Easter bunny. I found myself unwilling to get up for church that Easter Sunday knowing that soon after I would have to endure the horrible Easter egg hunt. As far back as I can recall I have been apart of the Easter egg hunt at my Grandmother Karll's house. Each of the twenty-five grandchildren fought for the chance to discover the golden egg. This unique egg contained…

It was Thanksgiving morning and I was pretty excited because I knew that day I was going to eat a lot of delicious food. I woke up that day to help my mom make some tamales that we always make when there’s some type of holiday. The whole house had that tamale smell once we were all done with them. A few hours past and it was almost time to go to my aunt's house where we were having our Thanksgiving dinner at. Once we were all dressed up and ready to go we headed towards my aunts house. Once we…

That Troublesome Locker… In 8th grade I remember being in Mrs. Manley’s class. In the class, we were assigned kitchens and had a certain amount of people in our kitchen. Mrs. Manley assigned us to make homemade chocolate chip cookies from scratch. My group and I just looked at each other and thought this recipe should be a piece of cake. However, the way the cookies were not what we anticipated them to be. As we placed our cookies onto the pan and put them in the oven, we noticed something…

Event One: New Year’s Eve at Knights of Columbus This January I rang in the New Year alongside family and friends at the hall, Knights of Columbus. Every year since I can remember my family spends their New Year’s Eve at this hall, but this year I was able to tag along. This event was probably one of the most exciting and enjoyable ways that I have spent celebrating the New Year. For admission, each guest bought a ticket at a price of fifty dollars. At first, this price seemed steep. However,…

Bugs love me. It is an unrequited love. In the forests of North Carolina where I have spent summers since I was seven years old, it was a constant battle not to be consumed by the never ending mass of insects who rated me five-star cuisine. Maybe it was my fair skin, the light hue that drew them like a lantern in the night. Or maybe it was my fresh mint shampoo that made them think I was a part of the nature they so adored. Nevertheless I learned to coexist. It was in those forests I learned to…
