Santa on his way home As the 23th of december 2015 became 24th, santa’s old clock rang as he rose from his warm bed prepared for days of hard work.

Eventually there was only one present left and it was addressed to the famous scientist Berry who was studying penguins on the south pole.

The Overdue Break for Everyone After reading “Less Stuff, More Heart: 5 Gifts On a New Dad’s Christmas List” by Christopher Zumski Finke, it got me thinking about what “giving gifts” really meant, and how much it has been seen as giving someone something super expensive to show how much you care about them, but gift giving isn’t about the price of the item, but the thought of the person giving. Gift giving and gift receiving is always a nice act. It can make others feel happy, and can make you…

I remember a lot of interesting stories of my childhood: the first time when I discovered what an electric shock was while I hung Christmas lights, a time that I transformed the living room into a circus stage or on a birthday when I asked my parents a data-show projector. For me, those were the first steps to realizing my passion for scenic design. For a long time, I had never thought I would be able some day to work with scenic design or big shows. Then in 2011 I had the privilege to have…

So going to Christmas in Dewitt would let me see all my family members that rarely came by. The day started out with my mother in the kitchen. Every year my mother made the best vegetable pizza that she took…

If I were to switch places with somebody for a day, I’d switch places with Santa Claus on Christmas day. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. To ruin Christmas for all the little girls and boys. As Santa Claus, I would fill their presents with their past pet animal’s rotting corpses. They would smell the stench of rotting flesh, unable to figure what it’s coming from, but when it’s time to open presents they’ll let out a blood curdling scream. Oh, how I’ll laugh my jolly Santa Claus laugh, my…

The Sesame Street video and The Gift of the Magi are very similar. Yet they also have many differences.
