I can’t count all of them and I probably don’t notice them everyday. I have many reasons why I am thankful for them, too. I am thankful for my life. I’m fortunate to…
As a Christian, I do not have a problem with Christmas. However, I do not see it as a means of celebrating the birth of Jesus. To me, it is another secular holiday. In my opinion, there is a reason that the Bible does not give any specific dates for events such as the birth of Jesus. A Christian does not need to take a special day to remember the birth of Jesus. His birth should be celebrated by remaining committed to Him and by doing the right thing towards others, every day. Robert Thompson…

is to say that as we grow and learn more, our ideas and opinions change with us. This happens with anything from music to holidays. Christmas has always been about family for me. However it wasn’t exactly the main focus when I was in elementary school. When I got older and into middle school my ideas started to change. Now, in high school, I have a more sophisticated idea of Christmas and what I look forward to. Family has always been very important to me. My family has always been a close knit…

of all, my 6 year old twin sisters, Allison and Annie, ate the last 2 cranberry muffins this morning, broke the star on the top of my Christmas tree, and spilled my push pin jar next to my bulletin board, which I didn’t realize until I sat on one. Also, tomorrow is Christmas, and I have only 2 presents under the tree. The first is probably an ugly knitted christmas sweater from grandma, and a book about ‘The Wonders Of Fishing’ from grandpa. He’s sent me one every year, and I’ve ‘accidentally…
