Celebration Of Lights In Oshkosh

Every year, my family drives down to Banner Elk to pick out a Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. This excursion has evolved from a fun family trip to becoming an expectation within the family. It is rare to get all five of us together now that the eldest one attends college, and the youngest one always seems to have something better to do. However, never once have I or my brothers complained about waking up at 7:30 in the morning to go Christmas tree shopping. “It’s something about the smell of freshly cut firs and warm apple cider...the thought of the holiday seasons keep us going when we would otherwise have no interest” (Correll). Banner Elk is not only associated with annual traditions to me, but also to the rest of my family, which is why Banner Elk is seemingly a part of our families culture and something we all consider to be our “happy

10. The Ghost of Christmas Present carries a torch in the shape of the Horn of Plenty and when he sprinkles the magic within the torch on the people he watches, they are filled with the kindness and cheer that is associated with

Today I went to the Lantern for the first time. When we arrived and signed in we were told to just go hang out in the living room area and talk to the residents that Cathy would be there around three. We got to talk with the residents and paint pumpkins. The residents are a true blessing.

Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” has been a staple story relating to Christmas since the 1840’s. Due to this, it has inspired others to make movies similar to this beloved tale. Namely, “A Muppets Christmas” from 1992 and “A Christmas Carol” from 2009. These two recreations may have similarities to the original story, but they share quite many differences. One major contrast is that they are not all similar in telling the tale: Charles Dickens’ original story was a book, while the other two were movies from not long ago.

Tradition; the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation by word of mouth, or the fact of being passed on in this way. Every person has some type of tradition in their life. For example, one note worthy tradition I have along with my family and my community was a fundraiser every year during the West Orange St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We would rent a stage and speakers for bands and Irish step dancers. There would be a small charge to get in and there would be food and drinks for everyone. All of the money made from this fundraiser was donated to designated foundation. This experience has taught me to always see the greater good in everything and that I should my gift and virtues to help those less fortunate than me.

With balloons and lights everywhere, kids had fun dancing the night away with their friends and/or dates. The DJ hired played good quality music throughout the night that got almost everyone on their feet.

There are over 30 holiday scenes and hundreds and thousands of LED lights. The park, which is loved by all during the day, transforms in a magical walk through light display at night. If you have never seen this display in person, you are missing out as this award winning assortment of lights, music and Christmas décor is well worth the trip up the mountain.

When I was a child my friends and I had Halloween parties where we would share candy and play board games like Monopoly and Sorry. Eventually, after I had eaten all of my favorite candy, I would be exhausted and head home. Now as an adult, I attend parties where the only games that people are playing involve ping-pong balls and red solo cups. Occasionally there is an enormous campfire that reaches towards the moon and stars. The crackling sound of burning oak wood completes a night full of long-lasting memories. The parties are different from when I was younger, but celebrating Halloween is still cherished by

The theme or the tree is The Christmas they never had and was inspired by Sir Stanley Wojtusik. Sir Wojtusik was a World War II prisoner of war who survived the Battle of the Bulge. The holidays are a time for family to be together, yet those in the armed forces often spend this time away. The tree is designed to recognize their sacrifice.

Throughout my life I am a part of numerous groups and in those numerous groups my position varies. In some groups I may be a leader and in others I tend to be quiet. A group that I am a part of is the Field Hockey team at Renbrook School. On this team my role is the one and only goalie. I think that this puts me in a leadership position along with the fact that last year I was and will continue to be one of the older members of the team.

Organization, processing and Distribution of photos with less effort is the challenge of shooting any event. Lightroom simplifies the burden of organizing event photos through its keywording and file renaming options. Lightroom also handles RAW processing and image distribution through web and print media with much less efforts.

In the midst of the holiday season, I volunteered with the Delta Gems service group for a Kwanzaa event. The event was the day after Christmas, which is the first day of Kwanzaa. The first day of Kwanzaa is Umoja, which celebrates unity in the community, households, and nation and race. Kwanzaa is holiday that spans from December 26 to January 1. During the 7 days, African - Americans celebrate their cultural heritage and family values.

Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year, for me, and the many stage and film versions of Dickens’ masterpiece offer many opportunities to experience the joy and revelation of A Christmas Carol. Pick from Alastair Sims version, Patrick Stewart, Bill Murray’s Scrooged, The Muppets and the 3-D masterpiece with Jim Carrey, just to name a few. It’s safe to say it is a very popular show done an infinite number of different ways. That is why as a director I would create a contemporary staging of A Christmas Carol in New York City. Now, at first glance this may seem unoriginal, but for me it is a perfect setting to honor the story in its original form.

In the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, many characters possess internal traits that affect their decisions and actions. Macbeth, the main character of the play possesses three traits that significantly affect him and those around him. First of all, Macbeth’s ambitious personality leads him to engage in harmful actions. Furthermore, Macbeth’s unstable beliefs and his tendency to be easily manipulated also plays a notable role in the play. Additionally, Macbeth’s impulse to prioritize illusions over logic contributes to his decisions and actions. Macbeth possesses internal traits that ultimately have a negative impact on his decisions and cause him to commit evil actions which lead Macbeth towards his downfall.

Today’s organization because of global competition and cost cutting had lead to great changes in the organizations leading to greater effect of organizational behaviors.
