How are you Jenny? I can’t believe it has already been a year since you moved to Canada and I miss you so much especially the hours we’ve wasted on the phone gossiping. I was hoping to visit you last time, but my ever-so-hectic schedule left me with insufficient time to go abroad. I’ll be free in December so that I can fly over to Canada and we can spend some time together. I can’t wait to fill you in on everything that’s going on in my life which can’t be condensed in this piece of paper.
Christmas is drawing closer day by day and I hope that during this Yuletide season you will share your happiness and blessings to all the wonderful people around us. I hope that you will never lose faith in God and never stop chasing your dreams. I hope that you still remember the true meaning of Christmas which is commemorating the birth of our dearest Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is not about the number of Christmas gifts displayed below our Christmas Trees nor is it about saying the generic Merry Christmas to a random stranger. It’s about the little things we do to make our fellow brothers and sisters happy and I hope you still remember this even though I’m not there to constantly remind you. Above all, I am really looking forward to see you again! I want to spread the real message of Christmas with you. Truthfully, spending Christmas without you would make me feel empty inside
I hope to see you soon Jade! I hope you are looking forward to that as well. Good luck in your studies and don’t forget to believe in yourself. It will help you a lot in fulfilling your dreams. Drop me a line when you’re free. I’m eager to hear all your adventures (or misadventures) of your first year in Canada! Take care and God bless!

Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…

Winston Churchill once said, “Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.” As the big day draws near, it is important to reflect on the roots of the global holiday as well as the direction in which it is heading. Christmas is a tradition rooted deep in the history of western society. It has undergone many changes since it’s earliest celebrations. Even today, the holiday is constantly changing. Each year brings new innovations to Christmas. In the dawn of the holiday, it was minor and focused on the birth of Jesus, the light of the world. In the 19th century, Christmas was a time of family and goodwill to mankind. Today, though there still remains aspects of religion and selflessness, more than ever it has become a holiday consumed by commercialism. It is a development that is not likely to go way any time soon.…

What would Christmas be without the gifts, presents and all the lights? Some would say jokingly, that it would be Hanukkah. I know that is what I would have said prior to studying some background on Judaism, and finding out some really interesting facts about the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. Prior to my research I had questions about the Jewish religion holiday, such as, what time of the year is the holiday is celebrated? What types of religious practices are associated with Hanukkah? Where did Hanukkah come from, what is its historical origin? How do the different branches of Judaism observe the holy day differently? I will answer all…

“It could remind you that you were a useless, orphaned spastic.” (Page 56). This statement of Johnsey Cunliffe shows his very poor sense of himself, which occurs very often throughout Donal Ryan’s novel “The Thing About December”. Within my paper I want to discuss how the narrative situation in the novel influences our perception of Johnsey’s character and if we should see him in the way he does see himself. Furthermore, I want to think about why the author chose this particular way to tell the story.…

This year, this Christmas, was not like any other Christmas. In one year, a wife decides to divorce, and children decide to grow up and also believe that belonging to a group of friends, beats belonging to a loving relationship with a family. So I am here alone on a Christmas day, alone, no family, lost the sense of belonging as I tried to contact the whole family to come together on a Christmas day to forgive and forget everything so that we can belong again. Even though I thought I had made peace within a once loved family with belonging. I am still outside the door.…

I miss you terribly and was so happy when a friend of yours reached out to me to let me know you were doing okay. I hadn’t realized you talked about me so much. (or at least she said you do) I miss being able to text you whenever I needed you. I could have really used talking to you these last couple of weeks. I’ve just been feeling so lost and I miss how you’ve always been so lovely to me.…

The sacrifices you made for this relationship were immense, including the decision you made to relocate to Vancouver to be with me. I let you down by not being prepared, and for not supporting you enough during the transition. I know how difficult this was for you, especially taking a job in retail, and not teaching the kinds of students you were accustomed to in Toronto. At times I felt helpless, as your frustrations grew, and instead of understanding and compassion I was focused on my own dissolving career and increasing unhappiness.…

Buzz.. Buzz… Buzz… another Christmas! I wake up to the sight of a plain view outside, the sun glistening onto the golf course outside my window. No snow and i can probably go outside in shorts. The consequences of living in the lone star state includes no snow and many other downsides, I don't mind though. I pull on my favorite fuzzy snowman socks and hop down each step until I finally reach the bottom of the stairs. I look at the tree which reached to touch the top of the room. At the bottom was a never ending pile of gifts, one stacked upon another it seemed like it would take years to unwrap them all.…

I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air, we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child, now grown with children of her own, holding tickets back to their home, longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past, unaware of my pain, on their own schedules and heading toward different trains, talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards, time as if in slow-motion, and motions goodbye until I see them again. I can't do anything but wave, a fake smile upon my face as my heart breaks, and a flood of sadness washes over me. My house, filled with laughter and family just the day before, will return to stillness and neatness once I pull into the driveway. The wheels grind on the track, creating sparks…
