Tips for the Holiday Season
Design Mantel Christmas Decorating Ideas

As you all know (hopefully) Christmas is right around the corner. It's "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." With that being said, I have some things you should keep in mind this holiday season. Everyone has their reasons for the season so whatever that may be, remember that. Christmas is a wonderful holiday where we get together with our family and celebrate whatever it is we celebrate. If you're a fan of the holiday season, cherish the time with your family. Forget about the drama in your life, don't worry about how next semester is going to go, and if you're off work, don't think about it. You're getting older, your family is getting older, and at some point you will be starting your own Christmas traditions with your scrumptious little family...(if and when Prince Charming comes out of hiding). If you already have him, GO YOU!! But anyways, celebrate and enjoy every single second of this holiday season. Be thankful you and your loved ones have made it this far. Some people wish their loved ones could be with them during these times. Talk to your family and learn about family history or tell them things you would like to do when you grow up. Most likely they will be so proud of you and all of your accomplishments.

If you're not a fan of the holiday season, don't be a Grinch. Nobody likes people who kill their vibe. Fake it 'til ya make it! But really, the holidays are fun. Especially in my family. We're all sassy and beat up on each other (in a playful way, of course). At least try to have fun. You never know, the holidays may become one of your favorite times of the year! If not, it only lasts about two days depending on which day you celebrate. Make the best of it!

I truly hope, whether you're a a fan or a Grinch, that you have a blessed Christmas. Cherish the moments, enjoy the times you get to spend with your family. You are luckier than you know.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
