...I would say there is a huge difference between Nicaragua and the United States of America. Nicaragua has been through many tragedies in the past several years. There is a difference in culture between Nicaragua and the United States that can easily be seen in their holidays, such as Christmas where everybody celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with songs, holiday vacation, and food. First, the holidays in Nicaragua and United States have many differences. For example, In Nicaragua the Christmas celebration starts one week before Christmas day. Christmas also begins with the “Posadas” that are typical Nicaraguan customs. Posadas are special celebrations that people attend, which consist of singing different songs in the name of Jesus Christ in front of each house in the neighborhood. On the other hand here in the United State they celebrate singing carols to Jesus Christ .In both countries we put a Christmas tree and we sending greeting cards. In both countries we decorate our houses and yards with lights and different ornaments. In addition, both of them give vacation to the employees on December 25. The difference is that in Nicaragua people usually don’t work the whole week prior to Christmas day. Contrasting in United State they only give one day of vacation. This day usually, people enjoy by having lunch with the family. It is a tradition in both countries to give a gift to the kids and adults. The difference is that in Nicaragua they open the gift at midnight on December...

...this cocky attitude that I entered an unfortunate, albeit hilarious, series of events that culminated in attaining a coveted role in a Connecticut Christmas play. From the time I was 5, I had earned a role in a play or musical every single year. Never had I experienced a denial or failed audition, and this lead slowly to an abundance of confidence. A Christmas Carol is a famous play, but it holds an even more endearing place in the hearts of Connecticut inhabitants. For a child to earn a role in this play, they had to demonstrate mastery of both acting and singing. Now, keep in mind that I had never run into difficulty with either before this audition, so when it came time to present my skills, I rushed in with almost no preparation. Standing before the three stern scouts, I proceeded to ace my song and monologue without...

...come up with many different types to consider, and at various times. Music I associate with my childhood are various songs heard during family picnics, family gatherings, and times or events of this nature. I grew up as a child in the 1960’s and listened to what my parents were listening to. Songs like Finger Popping Time by Hank Ballard and the Midnighter’s, I got a Woman, Ray Charles, The Great Pretender, Sam Cooke and Think by Aretha Franklin, who is said to be the Queen of Soul. These songs were of good times, happy times, they made me feel that everything was well in the world, despite the horrific turmoil in the U.S. caused by the Vietnam War. I still look back at those times as some of the best times in America and my musical experiences. I think the music then reflect my childhood experiences of sensibility, freedom, fun and laughter. My adolescence year’s music seemed to change a bit in America as well as for me and what we listened to in our home, as well as on my own. I was never much of a rebel so I guess music in my adolescence years was more of a way for me to fit in. Songs in the late 70’s were changing over Woodstock was over as well as the whole Love & Peace movement. We were bringing troops home from Korea and the long dreaded Vietnam War was finally coming to an end. People were rejoicing and ready to try and love again. Songs were about men loving their women and some even inspirational and uplifting like Bridge Over Troubled Waters. This seemed...

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

...is, depending upon one’s family, culture and background, perceptions may differ slightly from person to person. The history of Christmas is more religious based correlating with each denomination having a unique set of beliefs. The legend of Santa and how he came about differs depending on one’s upbringing. Christmas traditions that people may practice vary from house to house but the most common practices are buying and decorating a Christmas tree, and exchanging presents with others. In mythology there is often times where unity occurs like in the myths Hera and Hephaistos and The Story of Poia. Christmas time is the time of the year when friends and family come together to celebrate the joy...

...way to Bethlehem. As they go around house to house singing a song asking for shelter, with the house residents replying with a song before opening the door to offer hot chocolate, delicious dishes and desserts. The reenactment ends with piñata being broken. This event is celebrated by my family every year as we go to a religious retreat sight where nuns and participants celebrate the special holiday. Another great holiday that is celebrated by my family in Mexico is, Dia de los Reyes Magos. Honoring the arrival of the Three Wise Men — Balthazar of Arabia, Melchor of Persia and Gaspar of India— as they bring gifts to baby Jesus, coming from the New Testament. As the new year starts, children write letters to Los Reyes Magos asking for gifts.” Children love this holiday mainly because they get presents two days straight and everyone else gets to celebrate with the delicious dishes and desserts. A completely different, yet religious celebration is, “Día de Muertos: Yeah, dressing up like a favorite character is fun, but nothing compares to the cultural explosion of color that is Day of the Dead. Flowers, pan de muertos, altars, tributes and Calaveras everywhere. This should never die! A celebration for the dead, to those that have passed away into the afterlife my culture believes in, where we pray, thank, and rejoice the impact those that have left this world by celebrating in their name.

A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. The precise date of Jesus' birth, which some historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown. By the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after early Christians believed Jesus to have been conceived, as well as the date of the southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice), with a...

...1. Complex question but simple understanding. My daughter has a way of coming up with awkward question and at times you are baffled with their unexpected questions. One such thing happens to me sometimes back. The T.V was on but I wasn’t really watching, my mind was plastered on the meeting that I was going to be held tomorrow, but my daughter’s curiosity had the better of me. It was 19:30 and during the news report it was inevitable that the PM had to be mentioned. My daughter precipitously looked at me with a puzzle face and asked “Dad, what is a Prime Minister.” It took me sometimes before I could response; my daughter was only nine years old. I tried to explain that a Prime Minister is a leader of a group of individuals who takes decision for all people in a country and ensure people live in peace, harmony and gets all the need we require. My daughter looked at me and said “So you are the Prime Minister” Great thinking. Yes as a matter of fact I am the Prime Minister of my house; I ensure peace, harmony and get all the needs for my family. From there on it was much easier to carry on the explanation. I am the Prime Minster of my house and there is another Prime Minster of the country in which there are many, many houses. Simple understanding for a complex question. Progressively when we grow up we are surrounded with sophisticated and contemporary thinking. With the passage of time unknowingly we lose our creativity and simplicity. In our complicated...

...Job Principal: A Christian leader must never question his faith in God or God’s decisions. Key Verse: Job 42: 5-6 "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." Explanation: The book of Job describes a man who had his faith in God put through numerous test. In the story of Job Satan questions Job’s faith in God . He believes that Job’s faith in God is only strong because God protected him from evils in life. Satan wanted to be allowed to test Job’s faith. God did allow for Satan to test Job’s faith but only within reason. When Job began to lose the things that he had once cherished so much in his life he began to question his faith in God. One of Job’s friends tells Job that he needed to remain strong in his faith especially at this time in his life. Job’s story provides a great lesson to Christian leaders about remaining strong in their faith. God may allow Satan to put his people through certain test in life but staying strong and remaining faithful to God is the key to surviving them. Christian leaders may encounter many obstacles during their leadership but they must never stray from God’s faith. Isaiah Principal: Key Verse: Isaiah 6:8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Explanation: The book of Isaiah is also referred to as The Book of Salvation. Isaiah served as a powerful prophet sent by God to warn his...
