Redwood Tree

OUR reporter discovers some true and surprising stories behind our Christmas customs. We as a whole have our most loved happy past-times – hymns by candlelight, opening presents around the tree and lights hanging by the mantelpiece. Be that as it may, have you ever considered welcoming your neighbors over for a bubble battle on the road? That last one won't have gotten on here, but rather it isn't as unrealistic as it sounds. As indicated by Christmas recorder Mark Forsyth, it's precisely…

The city rests in a valley of rugged mountains like the heart inside some ancient skeleton. Each evening iron-rich rocks conspire with the setting sun to beat a pulse so elemental that it transcends time. My wife and I moved here from Washington, DC. Work made our decision, but we embraced it, imbued with manifest destiny of the 21st century: the west’s fertile farmland re-formed in technology hubs, then and now ideal places for someone willing to work hard for the opportunity to succeed. Our…

nice chair for Santa. Friends like Nikki brought inside and outside decorations. A friend allowed me to use 20 red bows (but they won’t be available this year). Holly Jackson let me borrow about 50 Christmas flowers that we used on the Christmas tree. I will ask her if we can use her Christmas flowers…

“We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!” The special time of the year is slowly approaching. What a better way to celebrate “the best time of the year” than by attending the annual Hopeful Christmas Party.

around us. Therefore, when initially shown two very different looking trees, one with an asymmetrical configuration and the other the epitome of tree perfection, my first instinct was to pick the perfect one. However, upon further consideration, I soon came to the conclusion that tree B’s perfection is anything but ideal. By analyzing the details of tree B, I was met with reflections of the scientific but also social concept of the “perfect human” or the ”perfect pet”. Personally I find those…

“Addiction is a family disease; one person may use but the whole family suffers.” (Shelly Lewis) Growing up in a family where both of your parents battle the disease of alcoholism is something no one should ever have to deal with. I’m eighteen years old and it is still hard for me to understand this disease and what it has done to destroy my family little by little over the years. This topic is something I struggle with every day, talking about it is something I struggle with too. I’m not asking…

In response to the overall feelings of negativity and glumness in the country, the Lakeland Times presented an article in November of 2011 that encouraged an earlier celebrating of the Christmas spirit. In the article “Let the decorations begin, bring on the holiday” The Lakeland Times ineffectively introduces a call for the Christmas spirit by encouraging individuals to decorate for the holiday early. This appeal ineffectively uses several points creating an article full of generalizations…

Toy guns were created around eighteen sixty-five, following the Civil War and were intended for the playful use of children. By giving them an object similar to a real gun, it gave children an opportunity to escape the harsh aftermath of the war through pure imaginative roleplay including but not limited to: cops and robbers, war play, etc. Sadly, in today’s society the facetious nature of toy guns has been altered from what it was originally intended for.

There is about thirty to forties dancers on stage. Some of the dancers, are young children’s of…
