In the beginning the tree is fresh and festive but the stage directions tell us that towards the end the tree begins to die. A…

Meter Elves A shout out has to go to the unsung heroes of the Christmas season. Meter Elves are not only distinct in their colourful attire, but they pop in change just before the…

as the look on my mothers face went from joyful to distraught. Christmas, my absolute favorite holiday, always started the day after Thanksgiving when my mom pulled out the Christmas decorations. However, the first day of Christmas in 2009 did not bring holiday spirit, or comfort, or joy. It only brought pain. After a prolonged, difficult move to Hawaii on the Air Forces orders, we finally had a peaceful moment to enjoy the Christmas season; however, that immediately changed when my mother…

As I am sitting in the cold, frigid, choir room, I am focused on my choir director, Mr. DeBore, who is wearing khaki dress pants with a light blue dress shirt, and a blue and tan designed tie. Behind him is a bright green wall covered with posters of cheat-sheets with different subject matter we cover in class and see in our sheet music every day.

For as long as I can remember a tradition in the Janowitz household was making Christmas cookies. My mom and I made cookies as basic as sugar cookies to double chocolate chip peanut butter. The house would smell like chocolate for days and it would take weeks to remove all of the sugar from the counter and floors. However, it was all worth it. The childhood fantasies within me were content and I even became creative with the cookies. Sadly the fantasies and excitement eventually faded and the…

which are normally family traditions where I am from. Since the holidays are coming up, people see more of these traditions due to the time of the year. In “A Christmas Memory,” Buddy and his cousin cut down a Christmas tree and decorate it together. In many towns in the South, there are Christmas tree farms. If one has ever been to a Christmas tree farm, one will see all of the families coming to cut down their tree. There are also traditions for other holidays around here. The South has many…

Oftentimes, during the holiday season, we say this without really thinking about it. We intend it as a friendly greeting. We are wishing them well and hope that they are happy.
