Christmas food

Christmas was Amber’s favorite holiday. She loved everything about it, the movies, family time, eating food and Christmas desserts, opening presents,everything. My Mom would always invite all the family over to their home. Cousins, uncles, aunts, even friends that she was close with. She just loved to see her house full of smiles after my Father had passed. I was a totally different person, yes I love Christmas but having so many people over was just a little overwhelming. I would rather watch…

socioeconomic class face on a day-to-day basis. The balancing act between providing a valuable Christmas, while keeping a balanced budget provides a challenge to the Turnbows.

Globalization introduces a cycle into the commercialist sphere that perpetuates…

During the holiday season, most what we hear is “Merry Christmas.” The society today is based on the Christmas holiday, but most people tend to forget about other holidays that fall in the same timeline. One of the holidays we know of but don’t understand is Hanukkah. Currently, learning other people’s religion is becoming more and more important.

through the pictures, I recognized one peculiar picture that embodied two stories I would never forget in years to come. This idyllic picture was taken one Christmas holiday where our entire family members and friends celebrated the season in our hometown in Enugu, Nigeria.

Before everyone departed back home, my dad decided to take a picture of my mother and siblings while they were assembling a gift.…

Since his sole partner in life, Bob Marley, has died Scrooge has gone into a recession of loving money more than anything. While in the office…

Performance Analysis: A Christmas Carol As society develops and people get busier, the meaning of Christmas is shifted to the point that it becomes just a holiday, a day to have fun, losing its original meaning.

The roof has white Christmas lights stapled rigidly in their place along with a Santa Claus statue stuck inside the brick laden chimney. The thing I adore most…

That was it. Officially. The worst Christmas ever. He has been okay with not being able to go home for the holidays. He had been okay with being alone at Christmas in a city he didn't know anybody. He had been okay with not having a fancy dinner, no people he loved, and no presents. He had been okay with it till now. Now he just wanted to get drunk and cry. It was the 24th of December, Christmas. He had forgotten to buy for food for the holidays so he had gone through the city looking for a…

As a women, in my culture the girls of the house have to help the mother with cooking and doing chores. My mother and I usually make Mexican cuisines. Once the food is ready we call everyone to come and eat at the family table. In my house we are used to eating homemade food most of the time. Usually Sunday’s is when we eat fast food. During dinner my family and I talk about what is going through our life and how is school or what we going to do the other days of the week. As well as how is…
