One reason is that it is cheaper to make wooden bats so they can be sold at a cheaper price. Although they may need to be replaced more often than aluminum ones, it can be worth it considering the added benefits of using wooden bats. Not only does choosing a wooden bat save you money, it also improves your performance during gameplay.…
No one really needs to buy the decorations with lights already attached to them, an example of this is that you can buy small Christmas trees with lights already on them but they usual cost so much that if you were to do it yourself you could have two trees for the price of one.…
“Our Christmas tree was never even an inch under eight feet, and it took the whole family hours to decorate it. Each year one of us was honored by being allowed to place the angel at the top of the tree, while Father help us up in his strong arms.” (Pelzer 22). This passage is a simile because this is how we are in Christmas, our tree would be long and it takes us a whole hour to decorate it. We are allowed to place the star on top of the tree, and that is what’s amazing about it. This brought my attention and interested me because it showed how good the mother was to her children and hoe kind she treated them, because the name of the chapter called Good Times. It also shows that the kid remember how good she was and then how she turned…
Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…
They use a lot less electricity while I depend on electricity for everything. On Easter, they decorate real eggs while we mostly buy plastic ones.…
Did you know that there are close to fifteen thousand farms growing Christmas trees in the United States? Over one hundred thousand people are employed full or part time in the industry. This year my family and I picked out a Christmas tree at a farm, we picked out the very first one we saw because it was the perfect height and we were freezing cold. My family and I always decorate the Christmas tree every Thanksgiving weekend. Decorating the tree was really exciting this year and the tree looks amazing. Decorating your Christmas tree can be fun and simple as well if you fallow these steps.…

Lastly, others may disagree with my opinions because they would want the christmas spirit to last longer or because it would be more cheaper to buy in those “hectic” stores. According to Heather steveson she replies “I always put my christmas decorations up because my kids & I really enjoy having them up & because it saves the time going through our shed looking to look for them then lilke a week later we would have to take them down.” Due to this reason a lot of people do it.…
Five, four, three, two, one – blast off! The old truck backed out of the driveway, they were off to get a Christmas tree. Alan is so excited to finally be on the way, Mom and Dad were taking so long to get ready! This time Alan remember to grab the hand-saw, because dad always forgets. After twenty minutes of driving, up and down the bumpy road the family arrives in the deep, dark forest. Alan is the first to see the perfect tree standing right out in the open. Mom thinks it is too small and dad says the tree is very skinny. Alan thought the tree was just perfect, so he grabbed the saw and cut it down. The tree was not heavy at all, he was able to pull it behind him all the way back to the truck. Once the tree was in the house, the…
Christmas is a kid’s favorite holidays for really only one reason: presents. We live in a society where materialistic things outweigh almost anything else. We would do almost anything to get the new iPhone, and we have an annual “buy as much as you can” day, also known as Black Friday. Christmas, unfortunately, has gone away from its religious origins and has been turned into the most expensive holiday of the year. Although I am sitting here trashing Christmas, I do still enjoy the snow and the decorations; who doesn’t? Snow sets the stage for Santa, and decorations make it all the merrier. Twinkling lights accompany almost every roof and dance in the cold winter gusts. The weather and feel of Christmas couldn’t be more perfect for the holiday; cold keeps us in the house and makes the fire feel all the more wonderful, while sugary treats and presents make our tummies and shelves feel good. Unfortunately for Christmas, my love for the day has diminished. I have grown up to see how selfish our society is during this time of year and now different we treat the holiday than it is actually supposed…
Commercialism decides what our house decorations should look like. Every year there is pressure from your neighbors to put up decorations. It’s always going to be embarrassing if you’re the only house on the block without Christmas lights and decorations. Suppose your neighbor goes all-out for Christmas, then you feel that you have to go buy more things that way you’re not compared to your neighbor.…
One familiar smell around Christmas is that of the pine tree. The smell comes from the chemical pinene. There are two compounds in a pine tree, Alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. The chemical compounds The pinene is part of the terpenes family, which are produced by plants. Terpenes can form aerosols with other chemicals that go into the clouds and cool the air, as well as make the skyline above mountains blue. The terpene pinene is also a reason that pine trees are so flammable since pinene contains sixteen hydrogens and ten carbons, which causes easy burning. This a reason that when forest fires start, they spread so rapidly throughout a forest or mountain range.…
Moreover, the second is the feeling about. Consumer hold a certain feeling of some a brand or products. Occasionally this feeling is based on belief. For instance, a person feels nausea when thinking about hamburger because of it contains large amounts of fat on it, but there is also a feeling that relatively free of belief. As another example, an more extreme environmentalists can believe that the cutting down trees is morally wrong, but it may have a positive impact on the Christmas tree because he was not realize of this fundamental associate with the experience he had as a kid at Christmas. All this is about trust through their beliefs or…
I think that artificial Christmas trees are better because the fake trees are fire proof, do not have needles, and cleaning it up is easy. Live trees end up dying unless one waters the tree to keep it from dying. The artificial trees have a wide verity to choose from. The artificial trees have many different sizes, color, and even a different shapes of trees. The artificial trees are easy to put up and decorate while the real trees are time consuming and need a lot of work. Real trees also cost a lot of money each year when someone buys a real tree unless they have some of their own to cut down. Artificial trees help people with allergies the trees do not have pollen or sap on them. Also someone could use a fake tree year after year without…
