  • Stancer the Santamobile

    Santa Claus
    SANTA 2009 Stancer the Santamobile October 17th, 2009 Children, it’s story time again and I am going to tell you the story of how Stancer the Santamobile came to Santa’s village. It was about 10 years ago on Christmas Eve and we were flying up in the sky delivering presents from house to house. We came to the end of one street and the gentleman living there wanted a new car. Whoosh! There it was, we left it on his drive, and then sped off again into the night sky. Rudolph turned around to me and said, “Santa! It is so sad!” I replied, “What do you mean Rudolph? So sad? Everyone is…

I'm sure they'll come up with some more fantasies like maybe: Bush faked the landing to steal all the oil on the moon. An engineer for JPL was in Houston and heard a transmission come over the radio that there were secondary explosions heard. But the audio recording mysteriously disappeared. Why would the tapes disappear if it's not true?! What we know is this is Santa's footprint on the Moon.

Well one day Maurice the Mouse knocked on my office door. “Come in Maurice” I said, “What can I do for you?” Maurice said, “Santa I was in the grotto the other day and I saw a group of little green men and when they saw me they ran away, Santa I was the one that was scared.” I assured Maurice everything would be alright and that Santa would sort it out and let him know the outcome.

    Christmas Movie Critic
    3 Nov 2009 | 6:34 am
    The world wide media clamoring for Disney’s new release of “A Christmas Carol” is marketing for a movie like few of us have ever seen. Not only has the train been criss-crossing North America for six months but now they have hijacked the flip switching of London’s Christmas lights as well. Seriously, Disney has a [...]ShareThis

    It’s a movie and what’s worse — it’s a movie that has been made and remade probably more than any other movie in history. But that isn’t stopping Disney from hyping their new 3-D instant classic A Christmas Carol.

  • The Grinch Stole Christmas: Retail Sales Plunged 4 Percent in December

    This past Christmas, retailers were hoping that Americans would ignore the recession and open their wallets to the temptation of slashed prices. But, according to the latest wave of dismal economic news, that hope of high sales proved to be in vain.

  • Waste-Free, Low-Cost Ways to Wrap Your Presents

    My childhood Christmases involved a lot of cleaning. What's more fun for a kid than tearing into a giant present, doing whatever it took to get the paper off and the box open as soon as possible? Afterwards, once our living room was blanketed in paper pieces, my dad would bring out a trash bag for us to scoop up all of the snowman and Santa-printed paper and throw it out. A beautifully-wrapped gift is part of the magic of the holiday season, of course, but in tough times, it's hard to justify spending money on something as immediately disposable as wrapping paper, especially when you consider…

    Lots of kids aren't going to find what they asked for under the tree this Christmas, and lots of parents are stressed out about not being able to deliver a perfect holiday. Four fifths of people expect a stressful holiday because of the economy this December, according to a new poll from the American Psychological Association, and the number's even higher among parents. I'm a minimalist when it comes to Christmas loot, but I've still had a hard time telling myself that it's OK to give the kids less this year.

Ed, and ultimately Jesus, challenged me on so many levels: what does it really mean to do what Jesus would do?  How do I pray and what are my true motives in…

  • History of Guy Fawkes Day: How gunpowder mixed with Parliament

    4 Nov 2009 | 11:00 pm
    HISTORY OF GUY FAWKES DAY For our friends across the Pond November 5th is known as “Bonfire Night” or “Guy Fawkes Night”, and all over Britain people fire off fireworks, light bonfires, and burn effigies of Guy Fawkes. Guido Fawkes was an Englishman who, in popular legend, tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder. He was caught, imprisoned, tortured on the rack, and finally executed, as we’ll see. 400 years ago, Guy Fawkes was a co-conspirator in the “Gunpowder Plot” of 1605 in England. He and his cohorts decided to blow up…

  • History of Election Day: Why we vote on a Tuesday in November

    HISTORY OF ELECTION DAY Why do we vote on a Tuesday in November in the US? Historically, the United States was an agrarian society where much of the calendar revolved around farming. In 1840, Congress set voting day on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. This time provided a convenient month for farmers, who needed to travel perhaps overnight to the county seat’s polling places, following the Autumn harvest season. The weather would not yet have turned bad enough to make rural roads impassable. Rural Americans would begin their trip on Monday, rather than on Sunday…

  • Information Reformation

    29 Oct 2009 | 5:23 pm
    I wrote the following article over a dozen years ago when I was a technology evangelist at Sun. Back in the mid-’90s, we were experienced the early part of the first wave of “The Web.” Today, with the advent of Web 2.0 technologies we’re seeing an explosion in different dimensions. Wikis, social networking, mass collaboration, blogging, and Instant Messaging have expanded what was largely a “reader oriented” phenomenon into a dynamic read-write participatory platform. While the mantle of managing information has passed to a new generation of companies, the…

  • History of October 31

    29 Oct 2009 | 7:11 am
    HISTORY OF OCTOBER 31 On October 31, 1517, an Augustinian monk named Martin Luther nailed to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany 95 propositions or theses and marked the beginning of the Reformation. Of course, the Reformation began long before that, but this date proves to be a convenient coat hanger for historians to mark the beginning of Protestantism*. But the 95 Theses were not intended as a call to reformation and it is the story behind this event that proves so fascinating, and shows the real purpose of the 95 Theses. Prince Albert wanted the archbishopric of Mainz.

  • History of Halloween

    HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN Halloween (Allhallows Even) is the evening of October 31. In its strictly religious aspect this occasion is known as the vigil of Hallowmas or All Saints’ Day, November 1, observed by the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. In the fourth decade of the 8th century, Pope Gregory III moved this holiday to this date (from May 13) for celebrating the feast when he consecrated a chapel in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome to all the saints. Later, Gregory IV extended the feast to the entire church in 834. In Latin countries the evening of October 31 is observed only as…

  • Last-Minute Kids' Owl Costume

    28 Oct 2009 | 10:42 pm
    By Ellen Baker Still looking for a Halloween costume for your kiddo? Here's an easy way to turn a t-shirt into an owl costume in a couple of hours. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can simply glue the fabric feathers onto the costume with permanent fabric glue found at your local sewing shop or craft supply store. You can cut up old t-shirts or other old clothing for the feathers. So just cut and glue. Easy, right? I think this would also work pretty well for a wild thing costume. Supplies: -dark colored tee -fabric scraps (50-60 feathers) -thread and sewing machine (or permanent…

    By Brenda Ponnay Halloween isn't the only holiday that gets to have fun with dancing skeletons. There is another holiday called Dia de Los Muertos (or Day of the Dead in English) that is all about honoring the dead. Many of us struggle with the concept of death and spend a lot of time being sad about it, but that's not what this holiday is about. Dia de Los Muertos is a happy holiday. Families gather together to remember their loved ones who have passed, eat all their favorite foods, dance, and generally celebrate life and the afterlife. It is quite popular to celebrate this holiday with…

    Halloween Craft: Cereal Box Stencils By Ellen Baker More ghosts and jack o' lanterns! I'm afraid of the scary Halloween stuff, so we like to keep it happy around here. We made these fun and simple stencils to use on treat bags, but you could add them to tees, banners, or any other fabric decorations. You can buy a simple canvas tote bag at most craft stores, or you can make one like I did with muslin using this tutorial (just skip the pocket and embroidery). If you make your own bag, it's easiest to add the stencil to your fabric before you sew. The kids can do the painting so they'll have a…

    If your dog has the temperament of my Shih Tzu,Tucker, do not attempt to dress them in costume. You could end up having authentic looking wounds to go with your costume. On the other hand, if your dog could care less about what you dress him in, then by all means take a look.Photo by Costume CrazeYou might be in for a howling good time...

  • Lighting Tricks Can Deliver a Big Treat to Your Halloween Bash

    28 Sep 2009 | 6:39 pm
    Are you afraid of the dark? Well here are a few tricks to lighten up the room in a safe but scary way... If your party is outdoors, trying to keep candles lit on a windy evening can be challenging. To avoid having a candle lighter glued to your hand all night, use LED lighted candles. They operate by battery and will last through the evening. No worries about open flames or relighting snuffed candles. And simply replace the battery next year if needed. Some of mine have lasted two years. Tip: Tealight LED's work great in those decorative candle holders and pumpkins. Keep the box that they…

  • Inspiration is never lacking at the Boo Bash!

    14 Sep 2009 | 10:19 pm
    Every year I am thrilled to see the creativity of people when it comes to their costumes but more importantly what inspires them. Sometimes it is movies and sometimes it is like a banner ad, full of messaging. If the year is a political year it can be downright...well...you never know who's going to show up. Lipstick on a Pig, anyone?We attract a talent pool of people who can act and sing their way to winning a trophy. And then there are others that just flop on the ground like a catfish who is fighting to get off that fishing line. I love it when celebrities ring the bell, you know the ones…
