Christmas brownies are tasty treats that make their appearance in the winter of every year. The brownies are chewy and delicious, with an intensely chocolatey interior – somewhat like homemade fudge. My family enjoys the brownies in December as a Christmas tradition. When we bake them together, we take caution that we are using the correct ingredients and cookware, as this will ensure a positive outcome for the brownies. Mixing the right amount of ingredients correctly will give them the right consistency, which may take several attempts. Baking the batter at the correct temperature for the given amount of time will prevent problems with over and undercooking. Making chocolate brownies from scratch requires you to gather fresh ingredients and…

The best clue to Boxing Day’s origins can be found in the song “Good King Wenceslas.” According to the Christmas carol, Wenceslas, who was Duke of Bohemia in the early 10th century, was surveying his land on St. Stephen’s Day — Dec. 26 — when he saw a poor man gathering wood in the middle of a snowstorm. Moved, the King gathered up surplus food and wine and carried them through the blizzard to the peasant’s door. The…
American families derive pleasure in viewing Christmas movies, and the hyperbolized plots give children and adolescents, the most influential individuals in society, unreasonable expectations, which affect their practicality. According to the website, “Problems with Christmas Curriculum,” published by Steven A. Gelb, the standard formula used to create the plot of hundreds of holiday movies, shows the same fantasized version of Christmas, which makes one’s choice of how they would want their holiday to take place, difficult. Although several individuals would like the reality of a holiday to more closely resemble the television-version, visual settings, reasons for celebrating, and the holiday’s ending make individual unrealistically expect a more romanticized version of Christmas.…

The average person knows very little of death; it is a feared topic and not openly discussed. We misunderstand the process, do not know what to expect, and there is great mystery surrounding the end of life. The authors saw a much-needed chance to educate the public, to allow them to learn from death, even to appreciate it as a natural part life. The patient does not know what they are facing, and are burdened with extreme fear. Many have unresolved issues in their lives, and these can be the source of great agitation and even panic as they approach the end. The caregivers, both family and the medical team, use medication to ease physical pain but this is often not enough to produce peace. The authors know…
September 18th is a wonderful day for the Chileans. This is the day that they celebrate their Independence. This day was chosen because in 1810 that was the day that they started down the road for Independence, though that dream was not fulfilled till February 1818. Parades, which include their traditional cowboys, dances, drinking,traditional food and music are all part of their celebrations. Their cowboys wear flat top hats, colorful ponchos or manta, as well as shiny high heeled boots with spurs. The celebrations take place under a ramadas. A ramadas has a thatched roof made with tree branches and is a temporary open building.…
Have you ever wondered what year round school would work and function like at Philomath Middle School. Many K-12 schools are successfully using the year round school schedule in the United States. Year round school is a great way to raise academic achievement, reduce absences, and stem summer learning loss.…
Would a year-round school schedule improve students’ academic performance? There are many debates on whether schools should extend their educational calendar to a full year. While year-round school schedules have their share of benefits, there are also negative outcomes. People often claim the more the better, but what really matters is the quality, not quantity, of education. Year-round schooling should not be organized because students may develop health issues, wouldn’t be prepared for college, and students may miss out on other opportunities during the summer.…
There is no doubt that the school system in the United State needs some adjusting. There is a proposal of possibly extending school hours or shifting the schools into a year-round type system. There are many advantages to having the school operate in a year-round schedule as opposed to the traditional schedule as well as disadvantages. A year-round schooling system needs to be considered for the United States county wide because shorter summer breaks allow children to retain more information from the previous year, better opportunities for local businesses and graduating seniors/teenagers looking for…
Some schools have long breaks for a month or two while others have school all year round. Schools should be year round with more breaks to improve education. Having school year round means that students won’t forget what they learn at school and that they’ll get more education. Students will be able improve what they have problems in and that means they’ll be able to pass tests without being left behind.…

For many people. the months December through February create a vision of happiness and holiday cheer. The thought of all the warm Christmas cookies you and your mom would make, or the pine sweet smell of your just brought home tree, you, already prepared with your basket of ornaments, dusty from being in your basement all year long. The hope of a new year, of new beginnings, of fresh snow, and coming inside from the cold to sit by the burning fire with your favorite book. Thinking of these months can stir up a great deal of memories, and for many, these memories are wonderful. For myself, they always have been. December was a symbol of happiness for me. My family would travel to come to St. Louis, we would routinely follow Christmas traditions from years before, and love was widely spread. However, last December morphed this tremendous enjoyment I got out of these winter months.…
