The Christmas Of Miami Florida

In this paper I will discuss Social Theories such as Structural Functionalism, Conflict theory; with emphasis on Karl Marx’s early work and how it relates to the conflict theory and Symbolic interaction. I intend to define and discuss relevant sociological terms of these theories and how these theories could apply to my favorite holiday which is Christmas.

It is curious that as children, humans have the ability to observe and remember details of specific situations and instances yet lack the ability to describe them. Truman Capote, as a grown man, took advantage of his vivid memories and composed the short work, "A Christmas Memory." The story begins in late November, a month symbolic of all the years gone by that Capote could remember beginning preparations for Christmas fruitcakes.

The best trip I have ever been on would have to be our first family trip to Florida. I have been on many trips however it was the very first still a lot of my family has seen the ocean,or even left Tennessee. A eight day trip in a beautiful beach house surrounded by family gave us great memories and we go once a year ever since. My dream job would be doing anything that involves helping people I really enjoy having people leave happy. Maybe working in my own restaurant because I love too cook and food usually leave people smiling. There would be good food and Good music as well as kid friendly so, the entire family could enjoy themselves. I have a dog she is a Pomeranian name Skylar. She's only nine months old all black with curly hair. My

Christmas is an international holiday that is beloved by many. I, however, see Christmas for what it really is. It isn’t some festive love fest that celebrates the birth of Jesus; Christmas is an allusion. Christmas has pulled the wool over the eyes of many by presenting the temptation of gifts, therefore making them oblivious to the true meaning behind the holiday. Christmas has betrayed its lineage, it has lost sight of its purpose, and it is denouncing the powerful meanings and messages for future generations to come. This holiday has been around for centuries and over the years it has become a façade and has found a way to hide what it truly stands for.

In the first half of the 19th century, Christmas was a very different kind of holiday than it is today. People did not have a set way of celebrating. Christmas was not even an official holiday yet.

I was born in Hartford, Connecticut and at the age of 3 years old, my parents

Black Friday, is a day that is quite familiar to most if not all Americans. Set amicably on the fourth Friday of every November, it represents the beginning of Christmas festivities. This means shopping sprees are kick-started with people (consumers) visiting the numerous retail stores spread across the country. A considerable number of retailers open very early in the morning, closing late into the night to tap into this big opportunity. Black Friday is one of the most profitable shopping days for consumers in the United States.

It was a nice winters day. Well, as nice as it can be in the middle of winter in Duluth, Minnesota. It was almost Christmas and the whole city was abuzz. Tinsel and lights were strung on every building, house, storefront, and lamppost. Christmas songs were playing almost everywhere you went. And the scent of fresh baked cookies filled the air. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I just like everything about it. Except one thing, I never get any gifts. Apparently this big guy with a white beard and a red suit comes to your house named Santa and puts presents under your tree or in your stockings. I’ve never heard of him but everyone at school always talks about him.

Economy is not doing so well. Its become cold and not many crops are growing. Its Christmas. Officially my third Christmas in America. But I don’t celabrate it. See I am not Catholic or Christian I am Polytheistic and the owners don’t like that. Still here I am on Christmas day working. Another reason our kind is hated so much. Europeans believe that only people of their religion were right. As of the today they re-assigned me back the the cotton fields for a short amount of time. Its been a regular day that is until I look down on my arm I see the long scar that the owner whipped me with a few days ago. I traced my fingers around it. And I decided I didn’t want to live like this anymore. Grabing a small bag I put in what ever I could find

“I was going to propose on Christmas Eve.” Those are the chilling words of Jason Befort to HG when he knew that he probably would not make it past that night. Reginald and Jonathan Carr broke in and tortured five victims with the intent of killing all in 2000, leaving only one survivor (Kovalchik). The Carrs were sentenced to death in 2002, but three of those capital murder sentences have been overturned since. The Supreme Court heard the case on the seventh of October in 2015. The Carr brother case has shaken the nation for what it is, through the defenses and issues in court, and where the case will go next.

Christmas in Dominican Republic was the best time. My grandmother and my uncles would kill a pig for Christmas’ Eve and all of my cousins and I would play hide and seek into the night. Also, we had a chicken that would always jump on my little cousin as soon as she came to our house. We would always laugh and tell her the chicken did not like her. I wonder if the chicken would have liked my little brother? I never found out.

Me and my older cousins drag the box outside onto the front porch. As I begin to open the box my hands started trembling. I couldn’t tell if my hands were shaking from the excitement or because it was five degrees outside. It took us two hours to put the hoop together. Our lips felt like icicles we were numb from head to toe, but it was worth every moment. It was the most beautiful basketball hoop I ever seen. It was candy apple red and the backboard had lights on it just in case I wanted to play in the dark. I thought Santa Claus gave me the coolest gift in the world.

I sent my brother to the hospital and ruined his Christmas break one year when I lived in Canada during the holiday season which started in December not in November like here in the US because our Thanksgiving falls on the first Monday in October. So, we usually start to decorate for the holidays the first week of December. In my house, every year we would pull all the decorations up from the basement to me it was a big deal for the boxes were huge that this funny musty smell to them because basement wasn 't finished I would pull out each bulb or each decoration and remember from last year or the year before or maybe the year that I actually made that ornament like the one that had gold glitter on a pine cone and a red yarn and it on the

The snow fell lightly on the road, cold enough to ice. Music playing softly as laughter filled the air. In a blink of an eye, the music turned into screeching tires, laughter into petrified screams. Shards of glass flying in all directions. Feeling my spine be crushed by metal. Tasting metallic blood in my mouth. The tumbling stops, but now I feel a rush of icy water on my skin.
