Watching Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways? Great Christmas Light Fight, Deck The Wall
If you’re turning on the TV during Monday night’s prime time shows, expect to be treated to a little holiday fun. As we get closer to Christmas (it’s three weeks away, but who’s counting) the shows during the evening hours are getting more and more festive! This is a good thing if you love the holidays and all the joy that comes with the season. If you’re feeling it’s a bit too much, well, say hello to your uncle Scrooge for me. I joke, instead you can find a few less holiday shows on digital streaming right now.
Watching Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways?
Ellen DeGeneres is offering up some epic gifts once again with Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways. Are you watching? So far, this season, I’ve met eight people who have been invited and were gifted from this extraordinary event. Excited to be part of the action, they have come home with some great gifts and wonderful stories. You don’t need to be invited to enjoy the action. Watching the segments on TV is a wonderful way to see what is currently being given away and a great place to get some new gift ideas.
The Great Christmas Light Fight 2017

Rivals among the neighbors to see who has the best light display aren’t just for the locals anymore. Monday night’s Great Christmas Light Fight 2017 on ABC takes the good old-fashioned idea of being the best lighted house in the neighborhood to a whole new level. It’s almost as if colorful bulbs are strung on every surface to light up the house, the sky and even the snow. You can’t help but feeling jolly watching this wonderful show and it’s obvious that some folks go all out during the holidays leaving the rest of the world feeling joyful that they get to see the display (but aren’t living on that
During the holidays we all have specific experienced certain situations that would only happen in such a hectic time. As the holidays pass, we look back and laugh at how ridiculous those times can be. David Sedaris shows this from his perspective when he applied to be an elf and Macys one holiday season and showed us what society looked like from inside an elf costume. Elf, although not a real story, is a movie about a human who thinks he is an elf who meets his dad and experiences extreme culture shock as he goes to New York for the first time. In this essay, I will be comparing these similarities between these two stories and what types of comedy are found in each.
The beginning of December brings happiness and holiday cheer. At my house it signals baking cookies and wrapping presents, along with putting up and decorating the towering ten foot tall Christmas tree. Classic holiday films play on television such as the 2000 remake of Dr. Seuss’ classic book How the Grinch Stole Christmas. As a child, I waited, giddy with excitement, at the theatre just to see the debut. Looking back, I was probably as thrilled for the movie as for Christmas itself. Because I fell in love with the story, this movie is a favorite choice during the month of December at my house. Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen give their characters meaning and significance in multiple ways and the use of sound, music, and visual elements are also critical to the movie.
The time arrives but once a year -- Chirstmas-time holiday with varying cheer. But buying and selling and buming and parking Spur movie mischievers in need of a larking. There's snowflakes fallen and gently sprinkled, With all the little Whosters' smiles frozen wrinkled.
Unlike the merry holiday specials many are used to, Terry Zwigoff’s “Bad Santa” (2003) gives the normal Christm...
On wednesday we left for outdoor ed. We loaded the buses and left. When we arrived we had a hike into skycroft. Once we arrived we had lunch.

On Friday we woke up and ate breakfast. Then we had
Christmas has consumed itself. At its conception, it was a fine idea, and I imagine that at one point its execution worked very much as it was intended to. These days, however, its meaning has been perverted; its true purpose ignored and replaced with a purpose imagined by those who merely go through the motions, without actually knowing why they do so.
The main aim behind this proposal is to use the already existing concept of vivid capturing the vibrant colours and illuminations of the festival and bringing its focus to an important and often ignored geographical location being Western Sydney. Thus creating the Western Lights show. Through an accessible space, food, an abundant of entertainment, and activities; Western Lights will attract a new and different audience to intersectional
Throughout my first year in middle school I have really started taking great thought into my future. I have realized that I am getting closer to my adult life and that I need to start to plan for the type of future that I wish to have. As much as I enjoy team activities, I do think of myself as more of a leader and would like to go about planning my career in this way. I am determined to go about things at an advanced pace which is why I believe I should be part of the National Junior Honor Society.
As a society of people with different cultures, backgrounds and ideas, progress and civilization lead to development in cultural, social and intellectual advancement. Nowadays the American Vision has altered immensely from the American Vision during the 1893 Worlds fair. Since the time of the fair races and genders that did not fit into the “ideal society” have integrated making a substantial impact on our society. The transformation our nation went through shows great progress of civil obedience that was once uncanny. Consequently, many years ensuing the conversion of the American Vision has directed our nation down a more prosperous path. Looking back, we cannot help ourselves, too wonder, what would our society have been like today if
It’s Thursday, October 13 and more importantly Halloween is only 19 days away. If you haven’t picked out your costume yet, don’t worry you have plenty of time. The bigger question is have tuned into the TV programs showcasing the holiday? The cooking shows, DIY shows and reality competitions shows based on Halloween? There are several great programs on this week revealing how far people will go to celebrate the season. Cakes that look eerie (and almost too good to eat) and people who spend weeks decorating their yards transforming it into graveyards and more. Don’t forget to flip through the dial this week and check out a few spooky programs!
Christmas is a special time of year that deserves to be remembered for its true meaning. Every year, Christmas becomes more and more commercialized and society forgets the origin of Christmas. It was not started with cookies, toys, and a fat man that delivers them, but instead it started with a humble inn where our Savior was born. The definition of Christmas is “a holiday on December 25 celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.” Nowhere in that definition does it say anything about the outrageous pressure society has set on consumers to buy, buy, buy during the Christmas season. Christmas is about presence not presents.
Holidays have always been known to affect our consumer culture for many years, but how it all began eludes many people and very few studies have been completed on it. Even though some say that the subject is too broad to precisely identify how holidays, especially Christmas, directly affect our market, I have found that people’s values, expectations and rituals related to holidays can cause an excessive amount of spending among our society. Most people are unaware that over the centuries holidays have become such a profitable time of year for industries that they now starting to promote gift ideas on an average of a month and a half ahead of actual holiday dates to meet consumer demands.
Normally, the first day of the film viewing is placed on Christmas. Imagine how clever pro...

As I look out my window I see tiny snowflakes slowly drifting down. I can hear the roar of laughter coming from the living room downstairs. Soon enough Saint Nick will be upon us. Christmas always brings everyone home for the holidays. Christmas is my favorite holiday because of the traditions my families and I celebrate that include our Christmas Eve routine, Christmas morning routine, and giving back to our community.
