Christmas is On Now!

This year it has been hard to get into the Christmas spirit because I have not had too much time to get my house ready for the season. Especially with the new house and not having too many things of my own to have has been hard to decorate. One thing change my mood of getting things changed in my house. While I was driving my daughter to school on the radio it was a Christmas song of Josh Groban song O Holy Night. Just hearing him and remembering what a nice feeling that the meaning of Christmas brings everyone in my family. This week I am going to get my house in the spirit of Christmasand how to get into my family into what it represents the true meaning of this grant festivity. This is one of those song of O Holy Night that can get anyone in the season no matter what crisis a person is going thru. Especially now that this quarter is now done with and I don’t have to worry about any homework or projects that need to be turned in. Trying to get more of the shopping done and trying to find all of those bargains that are out thier just wanting to be found. Well, I hope that everyone gets to hear this song and they will also get into the Chirstmass spirit as well as I did.

Getting Ready for the Holidays

With the holidays just here and all the things that need to get done and with no money to get all the things. It’s just hard to try to figure out ways to still make this holidays as special as other years. I have had to sit down and really plan how we are going to spend our holiday money to stretch it out to be able to make it without staying broke for the entire month. I still want to enjoy our families traditions and be able to go visit our relatives as with every other year. The only good things about the economy right now is the price of gas going down and still going down as I type. I just want to teach my children that we are still able to enjoy our holidays tradition even thought they might not be as many gifts under the tree (if we even get one) but to know that with just one or two toys they could still have fun. I will try to make it up to them my giving them lots of activities that we can do together and spend more time in the kitchen making bake goods for our family and friends. Well I hope that everyone finds ways to still make these holidays special and fun. “The first-grade class performed a Nativity play shortly before Christmas.

Saturday of culture

We had a wonderful time on Saturday October 11, 2008 at downtown Riverside at the Village Festival. It was the perfect time and the weather could not be any better. Most of my nieces were thier to have fun and get to enjoy a nice day of cultures. We were able to learn about many different cultures. They had many different performances from South Africa, Puerto Rico, China, Mexico and India to name a few.  The food tasting was also very interesting to know how diverse we go about to use the same food but make it our own.  The kids enjoyed making crafts from all the different cultures and they got to learn facts about cultures. I hope that we can all get together again next year and teach our children of other cultures.
