In the poem, “Beowulf”, there are several things about the culture arts of the time Beowulf was “alive” that stand out in the cultural contextual presentation.

Another one of these things that surprised me was how important certain weapons were in 700 AD. I didn’t expect for certain weapons to be superior to others just because they…

traditionally there is no such thing of Santa Claus. Instead, the children are supposed to believe that the three wise men come and give gifts for them. A traditional American child is supposed to believe that Santa Claus comes with his good trusty reindeers and gives gifts to everyone in the world. Well, that is impossible to do.

In the North Pole they have different norms and beliefs than anywhere else. They believe that reindeer fly, Santa is real and they can make enough toys for all the good children in a year.

Last year the Crestview FCCLA chapter envisioned a new project. It was a project that seemed appropriate for an organization called Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America; however, I wasn’t thrilled. Mrs. Sawmiller, the FCCLA advisor, devised a plan that acted as a fundraiser, as well as a service opportunity, called Polar Express Night, a one-night babysitting service inspired by the movie, The Polar Express. It was to be a magical evening full of crafts, snacks, pajamas, and…
