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.

There are several Symbols associated with Christmas, Santa Claus, Snow or cold weather, Wreaths, garland , wrapping paper and a Christmas tree. Society does not look at Halloween costumes or a hot sunny day and think of Christmas, although when I noticed that some retailers have Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas décor out, it does not seem to mesh well. But retailers are showing society these symbols getting them thinking about what’s coming soon.

When winter rolls around it’s all about skiing and Christmas festivities. Visitors can head to the Nordic center for a day of cross country skiing or snowshoeing and then come in where it’s warm at the fireplace of the Woodstock Inn. As the season moves closer to Christmas, tourists can enjoy the Wassail weekend parade and bonfire on the green and go shopping in the small shops on main

I decided to visit the Neon Museum (Neon Boneyard) located downtown in Las Vegas while on vacation last week. The Neon Boneyard is an outdoor collection of signs located behind the Neon Museum. The museum is housed at the formerly known La Concha Motel (the La Concha Motel was designed by Paul Williams, a famous African American architect who design the first LAX theme building). From my understanding the purpose of the Neon Museum is to display old iconic signs that use to hang on the Las Vegas Strip. To be totally honest, I had no real expectation going to the museum. I just figure I was going to see some old signs. Which I might add did not disappoint as I gawk at the dramatic vintage signs it was amazing, I actually felt like a kid at

According to the American Heritage College Dictionary the word Christmas is defined as “the annual festival of the Christian church commemorating the birth of Jesus: celebrated on December 25 and now generally observed as a legal holiday and an occasion for exchanging gifts.” When one thinks of Christmas they may think of Santa, elves, Jesus, and Christmas music. One such as Scrooge, who hates Christmas and is greedy. However one English author reminds readers Christmas can be found in the most dark people. Charles dickens’s A Christmas Carol helps readers identify the negative effects of greed.

“Much of our background is actually in rock music prior to doing electronic music,” said Freddy. The once rock now experimental electronic the duo of brothers, Charlie and Freddy Avis, has produced an amazing array of progressive music over the past years.

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.

Thank you for your feedback. To answer your first question concerning lighting and background, Paradi (n.d.) pointed out that if the room lights are too bright, the images projected can be easily wash out. Furthermore, if the lights are immediately above the screen, it can result in a bad picture. The author suggested the following: First, turn off the lights directly above the image and second, if it is possible, dim the offending lights or ask the maintenance crew in the venue to remove the light bulb causing the problem. Similarly, if the room is too dark, it will be difficult for the participants to see their notes. Therefore, a faint lighting will be more appropriate.

The holidays are a magical time for many. Mary Jane Carey delights us with her whimsical style in her new fabric collection “Reindeer Magic.” Are your holiday decorative sensibilities understated?

Many of the shows that I attended occurred during the holiday season, and society’s demand for such shows demonstrates our desire to become immersed in the holiday spirit. Our idea of Christmas is that we are surrounded by Christmas music, watch the snow fall, and see families come together. All of these ideas can be replicated on stage or on television specials, even if we cannot experience all of these in our own

Kids in Elmira got to experience a little Christmas Magic this weekend, thanks to a local company.

As we mentioned already, this event is branded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season, since Christmas is the next major holiday after Thanksgiving. In the United States of America, in the bigger cities, on Thanksgiving Day there are parades where people gather to see the balloons, performances and marching bands. These parades are sponsored by important department stores, the most known being the Macy’s Parade, which happens in New York City, becoming a symbol of the holiday. The businesses were trying to use it, in the early 20th century as a big advertisement push, eventually an unwritten rule

My family has a tradition every year we go to the celebration of lights in oshkosh. We used to go on Thanksgiving but the past few years it hasn’t been open till the day after. We went last Sunday because every Sunday we have family dinner. They have different scenes and some of the scenes move to music. There is charlie brown scenes, there are caroler scenes,there are all different types of scenes. But my favorite of all the scenes are the two scenes at the end. The first scene is on a concession hut so that it looks like a house. They have little arches and a tree on the outside along with a lot of other decorations. They have a specific station you turn on the radio and the houses lights flash to the beats. The second one is three christmas

Halloween has become repetitive and the notion of Christmas is so new and exciting to him. At this desk he's working on something new to show his town of freaks and ghouls. As he stares out a window he snips away at a piece of paper to make a snowflake. The end result is close but instead it's of a spider in its web. I feel the globe captures that moment fairly. At least well enough for a novelty snow globe. It has to power to take us back to that moment in the film, and maybe even remember the world around us in the time of watching it. This snow globe is a little slice of life that reenacts moments in the past. Though crude due to mass production or my mistreatment, it’s a relic of a film almost 25 years old. That’s not to say the film hasn't held its place in modern media, this snow globe is a dime a dozen, but even this common trinket can transform our thoughts and let us picture that
