Christmas worldwide

This year Mary was given the overwhelming task of hosting Thanksgiving for her 36 person family. She has decided to shop for her supplies in Marshall, Minnesota. Mary has the choice to shop at either Walmart or Hy-Vee. When making her decision, she has to take into account the differences and similarities of the two stores. Walmart is a grocery and department store, while Hy-Vee is strictly a grocery store. Other than that, there are many differences and similarities between the two stores. When…

For my animal performance scene I was a reindeer. The biggest strengths that I had for my scene was my movement, portrayal of eating, and display of the prey-like nature of a reindeer. During research I learned that a reindeer walks heavily but also spry. I properly conveyed this concept in my scene by leaping from leg to leg, making sure to lead with my knees when I was in the air and to place my weight on my leading foot when I landed. Since reindeer eat grass and shrubs that is often buried…

pictures. As a young girl, I assisted my parents and reframed the pictures. While scrolling 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. The celebration took place at my grandfather’s house with lots of food, drinking, and dancing. Before everyone departed back home, my…

out our Christmas cards and then realize, when it is too late, that we have forgotten someone. You see, we live in a society that has become completely commercialized that puts stress on us to buy, buy, and buy. In the end, the true meaning of Christmas has almost disappeared. There are those who may even say that we should abolish Christmas. But here lies the danger of losing sight of the source of our faith and hope; the Word made Flesh. Therefore, we must always remember that Christmas is…

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…

Reflection On march 10 in the PAC, at 7:00, I had the opportunity to be able to go and see The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It was a wonderful paly production, with some raunchy scenes, but, it was a very well orchestrated play, with well casted people and had very smooth transitions even though there wasn’t a curtain. The cast was huge, so great was need for voices that they had to hire a local choir to sing with them. The first scene is when you see the choir coming to and sing and take their…

Aptly termed “Dining at Cinderella's Royal Table", this coveted dining experience in Disney's Magic Kingdom located at Orlando is many girls' fairy tale come true.

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…
