“But it did it all happened, every bit of it!” I say as I continue my story, “When I hit the bottom of the well there was chocolate bars and I bit one, but then I started to grow big!

In “The Christmas Miracle” the author Rebeca Curtis shows the audience that Christmas is not as magical as people usually perceive it. With all the diseases, problems, and cat deaths this short story ruins popular beliefs that Christmas is perfect and full of smiles and happiness. One must spend time with their family, no matter the relationships and problems they have between each other, so it leads to a ruined celebration and not so magical Christmas. She uses incest and mental and physical diseases to show the reader how terrible winter holidays can be and that not everybody has the best time of their life during that time.

I have to say, this play was intriguing to me, with the three interlocking plots, all of which surrounding a common theme; marriages. I am not familiar with this play outside of this class, I had wanted to see the Hollywood adaptation with Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Stanley Tucci, but I never got around to it. To be honest, I didn’t identify with any of the characters or the plot itself, which caused great difficulty in choosing an angle for this paper.

Most people agree that Christmas is a magical time. They believe that it can warm the heart of Scrooge, bring toys to life, and even deliver toys across the globe. However, can a Christmas ad be magical, is it possible for just an ad taped to the wall; can it incite warm feelings in someone’s heart, to bring just a spec of happiness to them? This ad for “The Little Town of Christmas,” may seem plain and boring, yet there are several aspects to it that many will and have overlooked. There are several different design aspects that are used to incite this warm Christmas mood into the hearts of many; these aspects are the ad’s font style, the color scheme, the age range it targets, and the overall design choice.

Do you ever feel like people change? In A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, Scrooge is a grouchy, unsocial, miserly, uncharitable old man. He is extremely unsympathetic and bah humbugs everything to do with Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is magically visited by 3 ghosts. The ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Scrooge has a rude awakening of haunting memories he holds onto. These memories make him feeling as if he needs a second chance and a fresh start at life. What better day than Christmas to tidy the dreaded past. The mysterious ghosts bring him to the past, present and future in one night. Scrooge had remarkable experiences and felt emotions he had never thought were possible to feel again. Scrooge longed for a new future because of these experiences. Therefore, I believe that Scrooge changed in the play because of the ghostly visits, his aching heart for Tiny Tim and the relief that he could have a second chance at life.

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love seeing the shinny Christmas lights that decorates my street and the sound of fresh fallen snow on the ground. Christmas reminds me of family, the laughter and loved we shared, and the gifts we gave to each other. My house on Christmas became the center of my joy.

Have you ever pondered what may lie beyond our solar system? Perhaps you’ve decided that there is no way anything could be out there, in the empty, seemingly endless void we call space. However, perhaps there is other life out there, life more advanced than us, perhaps life just now exiting what to us would be the stone age, the possibilities are truly infinite. Personally, I believe there are other beings out there in the vast expanse.

In the story of A Christmas Carol Marley started out dead as a doornail and like normal Scrooge is an old bitter, greedy man who hates Christmas, feelings, love and happiness. People around him think that Scrooge is a pain and an unfriendly person to be around during the holidays. He always acted like an old sinner who doesn’t like anything. Nevertheless Scrooge is a tight fisted hand at the grindstone! Nobody really liked him because he never made friends and never really interacted with anyone. Scrooge has thin legs, a pointed nose and a cracked voice. In the first stave Marley came to Scrooge and told him what was yet to come and how he was always beside him watching him do things. Once Marley vanished Scrooge went to bed not thinking about the first spirit. The clock went faster than normal and Scrooge wondered why and started to freak out and soon the first spirit appeared. When the spirit came, she said “I’m The Ghost of Christmas Past.” Scrooge was frightened and blinded by the light from the spirit. In the past of Scrooge were so many memories that mattered to him. Some of those memories that Scrooge had were great and many of them were not and but that's what gave Scrooge feelings. According to the text Scrooge sobbed when he saw some of the memories. So that must mean that he smiled when he saw some of the memories. After the spirit left Scrooge he had found out that his character needed improvement.The Ghost of Christmas Past affected Scrooge by
