The History of Christmas

   Christmas has been a federal holiday in America since 1870. For certain people December 25 is a religious holiday because Jesus Christ was born this day 2000 years ago. Though in the early times of Christianity people back then didn't celebrate Christmas because in the Bible there was no mention of Christmas. Along the way at first they had a problem deciding what day Jesus was born on. Then in the third century were they only to decide it was to be December 25. This special day was widely celebrated by the end of the eighth century. For a while in colonial America celebrating Christmas was not allowed. By the 1800s when tree decorating was spread to England it was then brought to America.

What I do

  The way I celebrate Christmas is that we invite family over. When we invite family over we have a big dinner. Then we sit in the family room play board games or talking about the trip on Christmas Eve. The next morning we go to our Christmas Tree and open all our gifts in our pajamas. We all have breakfast and continue to play our board games. Then my sister and I give gifts to our neighbors. After our family goes to see if any stores are open and go shopping. Though if it is a white Christmas we do not go shopping my cousins and I have a snowball fight in the front of our house. Or we go sledding by the slope nearby our house.

Just to let everyone know I posted a poll. So, I could get an idea of if my readers are Samsung market fans or Apple market fans.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II



 

The Samsung Galaxy Note II is a combination of a tablet and phone. The screen is 5.5 inches. It has 2 GB of RAM. It comes with the stylus and has 128 GB storage. It is the second generation of the Note series. This phone has the choice of multi-tasking so you can be doing two stuff at once at the same time. The Samsung layers extra features for the safety of the phone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In my opinion I think the Galaxy Note II is exactly like the Samsung Galaxy S III just the Galaxy Note II is bigger and has the use of a stylus. Though I do agree that multi-tasking on this device is quite marvelous. Another thing I would like to add is that the Samsung Galaxy S III is already huge so imagine how big the screen of the Galaxy Note II would be. The picture of the phones are the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II. For those who could not imagine the size of the Galaxy Note II, the Galaxy Note II is to the left of the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Accessories 

  You can get a stylus that can be used to swipe or tap on the tablet screen. This stimulates your finger but it comes in the form of a writing utensil. When you don't want to hold the stylus in your hand you can hook it to your pocket because it has a pocket clip. So now you won't have to to worry about the smudges or dirty fingerprints on your tablet. This stylus is called the Galaxy Tab Conductive Stylus.Below is a short video of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.

Thanksgiving Day Parade

THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE

   This year in Hoboken, New Jersey, like the years before, the Thanksgiving Parade will take place. This parade had first started in 1924. It would take a year for everyone to work together and to put everything into place. This includes giant balloons and floats and organizing marching bands and people from Broadway. They make floats out of styrofoam and use a cutting tool called a hotwire and then they carve the rest by hand. Then the styrofoam is sprayed with hardcoat, which is a flame retardant plastic which makes a strong waterproof case. This is to keep the weather from ruining all the artwork.

    THE HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING

  The first celebration of Thanksgiving in 1621 lasted three days which was of eating, hunting, and entertainment. The Pilgrims invited some Native Americans to celebrate how the Pilgrims successfully had their first harvest. The Native Americans had killed five deer as a gift to the Pilgrims. In 1979, George Washington was the president to consider Thanksgiving to be a national holiday. This holiday didn't become an annual tradition till the nineteenth century. During the Civil War Abraham Lincoln announced Thanksgiving to be held on the final Thursday of each November.
