The Land of Believe “The snow was high, the sky was blue, the Christmas decorations were set, and I was ready too.” They applauded for ‘Joyful Jamie,’ a second grader with a big heart and imagination. It was Christmas Eve and they were all at the fire sharing poems, stories, and -- only Grandpa -- Greek myths. All unaware that something, sooner or later, was going to come out of the chimney with a cacophonous sound. “Ok,” Grandpa says. “It is time for a holiday tradition,” he says, resting…

Christmas is known for many things – feasts, gifts and presents, Santa Claus, decorating the Christmas tree with tinsel and ornate ornaments, but where did all of these traditions come from?

Well, to find out, you can start with the gifts that you get on Christmas day, and the cards that you…

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.

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…

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…

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…

As we were going down the stairs towards the living room with the Christmas tree and the presents. We approached the corner, I saw a wheel, and wondered what it is and as I got closer It started to come to me. My Mom and StepMom bought us all new bikes.

“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…
