holidays

On Black Friday, I literally shopped until I dropped. I've wrapped all the gifts I've purchased so far with about 13 people on my list complete. (No, I don't have much more to do, but I do feel a little like Santa right now.) I've gotten all of the Christmas decorations out. The house is sparkling with lights. The ornaments are hung upon the tree,

It's not widely known and goes against everything 'Black Friday' typically stands for. Oddly enough though, it always falls on the day after Thanksgiving. That's for a very important reason.

It's beginning to look a lot like...okay, so it's not really. I mean, lets be honest some of us are still munching on that Halloween candy without a Christmas care in the world. But with November in full swing, stores switching over with holiday spirit, it's time to start getting in the mood for good ol' Saint Nick!

You've heard of Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Mothers and Fathers Day but I bet you haven't heard of the ones I'm going to introduce you to.

Edeka is Germany's largest supermarket and quite possibly one of the world's best reminders of what the Holiday season is all about. It's funny really that some of the most touching , important or memorable messages in our world often come from advertising. This commercial is no exception.

If you know me at all you know I can be a bit of a humbug. It's not that I don't appreciate Christmas, I do. I appreciate Christmas on both the traditional religious level and even the commercial level. I just never really appreciated it NEARLY as much as the rest of the world seemed to...

Everyone has them – Thanksgiving traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. Some of the more common ones go back a real long time. Get this!
