Christmas

The year’s most celebrated holiday is celebrated on December 25th, both in homes and churches worldwide. The meaning for Christmas is to recognize Christ’s birth, of which the exact date is not known. During the fourth century the Bishop of Rome set December 25th as Christ’s birth date. Some authorities claim that the choice of December 25th was made because it coincided with Chanukah, Mithraic’s feast of the sun god, and the people of northern Europe’s winter solstice feast. The winter solstice is the time of year in the Northern Hemisphere when the noon sun appears to be farthest south. (All About American Holidays, 1962 Encyclopedia Encarta, 1998) The Saturnalia was celebrated for seven days, during the period of time when the winter solstice occurred. During this, slaves were given freedom, gifts were exchanged, and banquets and happiness prevailed. (Encarta 98 Encyclopedia, 1998) Holiday Greenery Evergreens, the symbol of eternal life, have long been used for Christmas time decorations. The Christmas wreath represents everlasting life and God’s endless love for us. Kissing under a mistletoe supposedly started out when early Roman enemies stopped fighting when they met under a mistletoe. Holly is the most known Christmas greenery, and there are several legends about it, one is that Jesus’ crown was made of holly, and the holly berries represented his blood. (All About American Holidays, 1962) The Christmas tree: The Christmas tree is an evergreen trimmed with lights, decorations, and tinsel, is derived from a “paradise tree”, or the tree in the Garden of Eden. (Encarta 98 Encyclopedia, 1998) The use of the Christmas tree began early in the 17th century, in Strasbourg, France, spreading from there through Germany and then into northern Europe. In 1841 Prince Albert introduced the Christmas tree to Great Britain, where from there immigrants brought it to the United States. (Encarta 98 Encyclopedia, 1998) Santa Claus The beginning of gift giving during Christmas started from the three wise men, with their three gifts for the Christ child. Since then people have made up different things to tell their children where their Christmas presents came from. The historical Saint Nicholas was known in early Christian legends for saving storm-tossed sailors, standing up for children, and giving gifts to the poor. Although many of his stories can’t be proven true, his legend spread throughout Europe, and he was soon know for his extreme generosity and gift giving. Many stories include him riding through the sky on a horse and wearing his red bishop’s cloak, sometimes accompanied by Black Peter, an elf whose job was to whip the bad children. His most known legend is when he would walk through the streets in his bishop clothes, carrying a sack full of presents, and leaving a gift on the windowsills of children’s houses. (All About American Holiday’s, 1962 Compton’s Encyclopedia, 1994) >From the different parts of the world, there are different names, but the spirit of Christmas remains the same. Spanish children call their Santa Balthasar, children in Italy have a female Santa named La Belfana, Denmark has a gnome named Jule-Nissen, Holland has Sinter Klaas, Germany has Sanct Herr, and there are even some places that believe the Christ child brings their presents. (Encarta 98 Encyclopedia, 1998) The Christmas Feast On Christmas day, the year’s greatest feast was served, people went, and still do, all out. Although now we have different foods, the idea is still the same. The feast was started off with drinks and music, followed by a procession of the food. Once everyone was seated, the food was served and eaten, after dessert, people drank and danced. The banquet lasted hours and was the highlight of the day. Some of the food served was: beef, meat pies, roasted duck, geese, pigs, plumb porridge, fancy cakes, bowls of wassail, and toast. Christmas was a huge celebration filled with lots of eating, drinking, singing, dancing, and gift giving. (All About American Holidays, 1962) Christmas Decorations Centuries ago, Romans decorated their homes, public buildings, and temples on festive occasions, and we have followed this ancient custom. During Christmas time, store windows, malls, streetlights, and parking lot poles are decorated to celebrate this joyous time filled with shopping, gift giving, and happiness. Some popular and well-known Christmas decorations are: New York’s Rockefeller Plaza’s Christmas tree, when set up, the first lighting of the tree signifies the official opening of the Christmas season. Another popular attraction is Christmas Tree Lane, in Fresno, California. People there string lights around the great cedars lining Van Ness Avenue. Homeowners there also set up holiday displays on their lawns and houses. (Encarta 98 Encyclopedia, 1998 All About American Holidays, 1962)

In life one may come across many people.  Some will hate and while others will adore.  The ones who hate can be referred to as enemies and theones who show adoration will be called friends.  People may say the word friends is to broad.  In the opinions of many, there are three types of friends.  They are the aquaintinces he/she makes in school, the friends he/she looses as one grows, and bewt friends who may stray, but never too f ar away.

First of all, there are those friends that are only seen in school.  Seeing them on the street is like they are not even there.  One may have known them throughout their whole school career, but have never talked to them outside of school.  These school aqquaintinces are nice people to talk to , but there is never an effort to do anything more than that.  These friends are good because there are never any chances to take with them.  One just talks to them and then they go on their merry way.  These school aqquaintinces are the peopl who are talked to about different hoobies and class studies.  Not ones personal life.  School aquaitnices are the people that one will not see for the first time until the schools ten year reunion.

Second, there are former friends.  These are the ones taht grew up in ones neighborhood and moved away.  These are the friends who will bring back memories that people thoght were forgotten.  One might be embarassed at first about seeing their former friend, but as soon as conversation begins all the embarassement will be a thing of the past.  Former friends are the ones that little secrets about meaqningless ideas were told to as a child, or the person who spent countlerss nights at ones house sleeping over.  These are the people that knew ones parents very well, almost as well as the friend was known.  Te\hen all of a sudden out of nowhere this former friend is never spoken again to for years.  Former friends give a sense of oldness to a person.  In the long run they are good to have and to talk to.

Finally, there are best friends who are the people that have been known all their lives or even just a few years.  These friends regardless male or female can talk to a friend about anything on their mind.  Many experiences have occured between two best friends or even a group of best friends.  These kinds of friends share a common bnd that will last forever.  Intimate secrets and special favors are all traits in which best friends can rely on each other for.  All these examples are whypeople not only neebest friends, but should want them as well.  These friends are future best men, bridesmaids, godfathers, and godmothers.  They are the brothers and sisters ones parents never had.  They are a  part of oneself, if not all of that oneself.

These friends mold the way of life one is going to live.  Ones traits, beliefs, hobbies, jobs and even personality may come from the types of friends one encounters throughout life.  Choosing friends wisely is a good habit to get into, for there are many bad influences in the world today.  Friends come in many ways, but in the opinion of many the come as aquaintinces in school, the friends people wil lose as they grow older, and best friends who may stray, but never too far away.

FRIENDSHIP’s the greater bliss we mortals share,
It heightens pleasure, softens ev’ry care;
Expands the heart, each thought severe disarms,
And in the mind unfolds ten thousand charms.

How high in happiness the prospect stands,

Whene’er in Friendship’s strong, yet tender bands,
Two spirits kind in gentle union meet,
The bliss how great, how exquisitely sweet!
Self-love and envy to their souls unknown,
Each has an int’rest dearer than their own;
Their ev’ry joy a brighter aspect wears,
Their ev’ry grief, when told, straight disappears.
Or when, amid the varying turns of fate,
The mind bears some important secret’s weight;
On which the life, or life’s chief hopes depend,
It rests securely with the faithful friend.
Mutual esteem and love their actions guide,
And truth and justice o’er their hearts preside.
The gen’rous breast which ardent Friendship fires,
Each lib’ral, virtuous sentiment inspires.
Friendship the mind excites to noble deeds,
And to the path of spotless glory leads;
And when its object’s worthy of regard,
It will, like Virtue, prove its own reward.

A venit primavara cu alaiul ei.La marginea padurii, zapada cea rece si cristalina incepu sa se topeasca.Pe cerul albastru,soareleincepu sa zambeasca din ce in ce mai tare,trimitand raze calde si vesele. Natura incepu sa se trezeasca la viata    De sub plapuma imaculata de nea au aparut primi ghiocei mici,albi si plapanzi.Baba Iarna a cerut ajutor lui Mos Crivat si lui Mos Omat sal-l invinga pe ghiocel.Soarele,auzind vorbele ghiocelului ,ii trimite in ajutor raze calde si o multime de ghiocei.Dis de dimineata de sub plapuma de nea au aparut o multime de ghiocei.Baba Iarna a inceput sa isi piarda puterile.Soarele isi inapoiara puterile. Deci vedeti ca ghiocei asa mici cum sunt tot au ceva cu ce sa ne bucure.Ghioceii vestesc mereu primavara,aducand cu ei veselie.

LUNILE VERII
Vine cu cirese-n dar
Luna iunie ciresar
Ne trimite la plimbare
Trei luni in vacanta mare.

Soarele-i toropitor
Este iulie cuptor
Marea calda ne asteapta
Muntele la drum ne-ndeamna.

Fructe multe si legume
Toate proaspete si bune
August luna lui gustar
Vara-ncheie asadar.

Poezie trimisa de Madalina.

Este vara . Mingea de aur de pe bolta azurie este pe cerul senin.Vara albinele alearga din floare in floare cautand polen . Roua rece sta pe iarba verde, pasarile care parca vorbesc zboara in stoluri acoperiind vazduhul ca o patura imensa neagra , parfumul florilor te invaluie intr-o mireasma imbietoare .
Padurea te atrage prin culoarea ei precum a unui smarald, iar freamatul frunzelor te indeamna sa intri in padure, greieri care canta neobositi parca la vioara iti da o senzatie de liniste .
Vara taranii culeg recoltele bogate de pe camp, de dimineata pana seara . Altii doar acum planteaza roade ca sa le culeaga la toamna .
Animaleleincep inca de pe acum sa-si adune provizii pentru iarna cea rece care tine patru luni din noiembrie pana in februarie.
In anotimpul vara oamenii merg in concediu sa se relaxezela mare.Dimineata se plimba pe malul marii in timp ce rasare soarele iar dupa aceea stau la plaja sau se duc in apa sa inoate.
Tot in acest anotimp copiii se joaca pe afara jocuri precum : baba oarba,sar elastic se joaca fotbal si volei .
Mie imi place anotimpul vara pentru ca este cald si este o atmosfera care parca nu te-ar mai lasa sa intri in casa ci doar sa stai doar afara ca o frunza in bataia vantului.

Locul acela se numea Sub cetate si, ciudat, se afla undeva, pe o colina. Eram invaluiti de crivat si priveam noaptea luminata electric a orasului. Rafalele de vant clatinau lumina putina si ne-am rafugiat cu totii intr-o incapere prelunga si calda. Am stat apoi indelung langa soba uriasa. Unul pevestea despre bunici si casa lor batraneasca, altcineva se gandea la vanatoarea de vulpi la care-l luase un unchi, alti doi visau sub impresia puternica a ruinelor cetatii… disparuta de veacuri, cetatea isi arcuia aripile ocrotitoare deasupra lumii de jos. Aveam aceeasi senzatie de siguranta ca atunci cand am mers intr-o poiana de margarete si le-am admirat delicatetea in liniste, fara a schita vreun gest, de teama parca sa nu-si ia zborul.
Plutea pretutindeni in jurul nostru un fel de liniste nepamanteana, si fiecare din noi avea impresia ca dincolo „coltul” in care ne aflam nu mai exista nimic pe pamant in afara de noi si copilaria noastra.
Pana cand iarna a izbit cu putere usa de perete, iar unul dintre noi s-a trezit ca dintr-un vis si le-a amintit tuturor ca trebuiau sa plece. In privirea lor puteam deslusi regrete si melancolie, caci ne chema viata noastra cea de toate zilele, cu aceleasi probleme si framantari de la scoala sau de acasa.
Dar uneori, cand ne intalnim intamplator, cate unul dintre noi ii spune din priviri celuilalt ca n-a uitat lumea noastra misterioasa.

Dimineaţa mă trezesc uitandu-mă pe fereastră văd ghioceii din grădină,rândunelele care cânta minunat şi doritul soare.
Animalele din pădure se bucurau nespus:veverţele sar sin copac in copac,iepuraşii fug liberi prin iarba verde plină de roua dimineţii,căprioarele care se jucau cu alte căprioare,vulpea care se pregătise de alte vicleşuguri şi multe alte vieţuitoare care se pregăteau de întâmpinarea primăverii.Primăvara aduce cu ea tot ce are mai frumos îndepărtând cumplita iarnă rece,iar acum copii sunt liberi să se joace pe iarba cea cerde sub soarele cel cald.Ţăranii îşi ară meleagurile,bunicuţele pregătesc seminţele de flori multicolore şi de legumele foarte bune.
Copacii înfloresc cu floricele mici de culorile alb si roz,gândăceii au aşteptat sa iasă din pământul umed si ciupercile vor să iasă la suprafaţă.

Primavara, fiica cea mai tanara si mai frumosa fiica a batranului an a sosit pe la  noi.Maria  si Andrei au iesit afara.
Cei doi pleaca spre padure .Acolo mai intalnesc cativea copii. Baietiise joaca cu mingea ,iar fetele culegeau suavele floricele.
Deodata parintii Maria si a lui  Andrei vin si le spun sa vin cu ei  deoarece trebuie sa se pregateasca pentru primavara.
Acestia pornesc spre casa. Copiii vad o randunica voioasa care taie albastrul cerului ca o sageata.
Ajung acasa si intra in livada cea proaspat inflorita si impodobita cu culori frumoase si vii.
Ei incep munca si pregetirile.Parintii varuiesc copacii proaspeti infloriti,iar Maria si Andrei plantau gingase floricele.
Maria a simtit cum pamantul umed si negru i-a atins pielea cea fina .
Firicele de iarba subtiri au aparut incet ,incet.
Dupa ce si-au terminet treaba au intrat in casa si au vazut sub streasina doua pasarele albe si frumoase care si-au facut cuibul acolo.
Cei doi au fost fericiti si bucurosi de acea zi minunata de primavara.
