Christmas lights

Christmas is not only a day of sharing presents and celebrating with family and friends, but also a week of joy. The exciting days leading up to christmas to the aftereffects of happiness that result from the carols of Christmas prove that December 25th is a very special holiday. Christmas to me means spending and sharing time and the moments with each other and it also celebrates the birth of Jesus. The gifts and the food are amazing, but the main point of Christmas is to celebrate the nativity…

Everyone can already feel the Christmas Holiday spirit rushing and the December breeze caressing their cheeks. We are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of…

It was about three year ago, I reference it by the pre-bust years. Three nights until Christmas eve, on a Sunday the 22nd. The tree was up and decorations were still in the boxes. The house was in shambles and cluttered about. Although, I had asked my youngest son, the only child left in the nest. Over and over since Thanksgiving to get together and clean up, then finish the traditional decorating of our home. He, like his father at 19, were busy with the ladies and the festive part of the…

On December 5, 2015 I attended the Living Christmas Tree. The play was held at Park Avenue Baptist Church located on 900 Park Ave in Mt Vernon, IL. The play started at 7 pm and lasted for an hour and a half. The entire time the church was filled with holiday spirit in preparation for the approaching Christmas day. The church was filled with people, there was not a seat left in the house. The church pews on the ground floor and the balcony were packed tightly with audience members. The…

Also, most people buy Canadian Christmas trees, that the supermarkets import from Canada, and decorate them with lights and Christmas decorations. The Central Park in Boquete is also decorated with beautiful lights and different decorations like a nativity where Child Jesus is placed at midnight on Christmas Eve. In Navidad (Christmas) people usually buy food and keep it frozen until they prepare it on Christmas Eve. The Panamanian traditional foods for Christmas include homemade Turkey, Ham,…

black outside, I tiptoed down the hallway, my heart beating fast. I 'd heard voices and even though I wasn 't allowed out of bed yet, I had to investigate. One quick glance at the front room told me Santa had come. As usual he 'd left the Christmas tree lights on, transforming everything into a magical wonderland. However, the voices had come from the kitchen which made no sense at all. "What 's going on? ' I asked as I rounded the corner and into the kitchen. I couldn 't help but squint as my…

The “Christmas Carol” is very-well known around the world. Both the movie and book is loved by most people, but they have many differences. All families with children usually watch it, or read it around the christmas season. Yes, some people think it’s dumb, but it shows a lot of potential to what Christmas is truely about.It’s not about spending money, or who has the most Christmas lights and decorations up, it’s about a special time of year when god had showed his great love for us. It’s a…

Religions are very different but the same. Judaism has quite a lot of holidays, but those holidays have similarities to Christian holidays. Both celebrate holidays that focus on resurrection, lights, and rest. Jews and Christians both have many holiday in the spring, during fall or winter, and weekly. The Spring season has many Christian and Jewish holidays during it. One Christian holidays is known as Easter. Easter remembers the Last Supper and the Resurrection of Christ. Passover and First…

even from an actual veteran that putting up Christmas decorations before Remembrance Day is disrespectful to them. So why is everyone “quoting” these veterans and saying it is? If it is, let the veterans tell us themselves. Any veteran or current serving military I’ve actually talked to doesn’t find it disrespectful, in fact most of them put Christmas decorations up before November 11th. What I find disrespectful is everyone who just doesn’t like Christmas coming early, so they using veterans…

Christmas, what it really means and existence. Everyone has their own beliefs or ways of celebrating it.Often things change from time to time. Maybe in other words generations after generations. I would say that is mostly with traditions. Christmas is supposed to have all these meanings but the question still remains. What is it about, where did it come from, how is it and was it celebrated. What does a tree have to do with anything? Why do people go house to house in the cold? Better yet, Who…
