I love all of the holidays, but Christmas is my favorite. It makes me sad that so many people forget that it's a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Some will argue that it isn't even His real birthday. That's true. Nobody knows when Jesus was born. Some believe it was in the spring or summer. That could be true. Many argue that our beloved Christmas traditions are of pagan origin. That's also true. The newly converted Christians didn't want to give up their colorful and festive holiday traditions. The church was wise enough to to see the problem and offer a solution. They started a new holiday close to the old, to honor the birth of Jesus, as told in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. They gave new meanings to old symbols and customs. They named it Christs Mass. The people embraced the new holiday and many of us celebrate it still today. Many people want to reduce it back to a pagan holiday. They have ...

Our great country just celebrated another birthday. Here in the United States of America, we pride ourselves on being a free country. But what is freedom? Does that mean we can do anything we want? Of course not. For every freedom someone is granted, a freedom is taken away from someone else. There are some great controversies going on right now over freedoms. One is over the Confederate flag. Many see it as a symbol of hate. Others see it as a southern symbol or as a tradition. Now it is being banned all over the country, amid protests of many. The Civil War is being fought again. Shouldn't the people have been allowed to vote on that decision, instead of allowing it to be decided by politicians looking for votes in the next election? Why? Over a piece of cloth that you can make mean anything you wish. Yes, it was used toward the end of the war. That offends many. Not everyone that fought for the Confederacy owned slaves. Not everyone believed in slavery. Not everyone who...

You might as well face it, the world is full of jerks. Sometimes you are faced with having a jerk in the family or at work. While you might not feel like spending money on jerks, to leave them out would be too noticeable. Your next instinct is probably to buy them something really cheap or awful. That's not really a good idea either, because other people will notice, and that would be a bad reflection on you. So what do you do? There's an old saying that is perfect for this occasion, "Kill them with kindness." If your jerk is married, pick out something that will benefit both of them. There are a lot of things you can choose from. You could get them something for the home, like a candle, a candy dish, or fruit bowl. There are also a lot of gift sets you can buy with different foods. You can find everything from cheese to hot cocoa. Movies are also a good option. If you don't know what kind of movies they might like, just pick out one that you like, then you ...

It is usually really easy to buy birthday presents for a five year old boy. Most five year old boys are usually obsessed with one thing. If you know the boy, it shouldn't be a problem, because that's all they talk about. With one boy it might be horses or tractors. With another boy, it might be cars or super heroes. If you don't know the boy well, talk to his parents and find out what he likes and what he already has. A boy that is into super heroes will like most anything to do with them. The possibilities are endless. You can buy action figures and the accessories that go with them. There are often "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" cars with their pictures on them. There are movies and posters you can buy. Don't forget video games. Just be sure to check with mom to see what system he has and what games he already has. If he doesn't have a game system, you may be able to find a hand held game he would like. He may like a coloring book about super...
