It is one of my many hobbies (pastime) during the holiday season to drive or walk around the city esp the downtown area or around neighborhoods in the evening to see the lights displayed on and around homes and buildings. I found it very relaxing and soothing.The view is just breathtakingly beautiful.

As we all know the use of decorative, festive lighting during the Christmas holiday season is a long standing tradition in many Christian cultures, and has been adopted as a secular practice in a number of other non-Christian, or non-predominantly Christian, cultures (notably in Japan).

This is my favorite time of year.I’ll post more photos as we go along.Happy Holidays everyone.

Celebrities change their names for many different reasons. Sometimes it’s a SAG issue, sometimes it’s to avoid accusations of nepotism, and other times, well, it’s pretty obvious. Take a look and see what I mean

Use Caution with Thanksgiving Cooking.Thanksgiving is one of the most popular days for cooking in the country. It also is the leading day for home cooking fires.

 With pots boiling, ovens baking and skillets sizzling, Thanksgiving can be a hazardous day in the kitchen.
So much so, in fact, that the National Fire Protection Association says that with so many more people cooking on Thanksgiving than on a typical day, Americans are twice as likely to have a home fire on the holiday than any other day of the year.
Thanksgiving kitchens can be filled with inexperienced, busy or distracted chefs, which can spell disaster.

Celebrities born on this day: Steve Landesberg, Maxwell Caulfield, Gary Player, Susan Anspach, Austin Majors, Salli Richardson, Bruce Hornsby, Johnny Mandel, Boris Karloff

Celebrity Gossip: Hannah Ild will not be a name that many people will be familiar with, unless they are big fans of the Eurovision Song Contest. However, you should get ready to see this name in lights very soon. The Estonian singer is hugely ambitious and right now all the planets in her chart are aligned in a very positive manner. This is the ideal time for her to take the world by storm with her quirky take on sultry pop music.

Today’s Chinese Proverb: The wise adapt themselves to circumstances, as water moulds itself to the pitcher.

Today’s Motivational Quote: In matters of style, swim with the current; In matters of principle, stand like a rock. — Thomas Jefferson

Today’s Wisdom from around the world: You can not write in the chimney with charcoal. — Russian Proverb

Forecast for people born on this day: Happy Birthday! The months ahead are likely to start with a need to curb your impulses, thanks to Mars, which will make you more impetuous than normal. Slowing down long enough to see where you’re going will help you avoid getting involved with someone who’s really not for you at this moment in time. The end of April will be a stressful time for most people; in your case it will be a question of feeling as though key areas of your life are stagnating – a distinct lack of fun will be the root cause, but by August your social diary should be full to brimming again! In September there will be a chance for you and a friend to visit somewhere exciting and new, while October sees you starting a new phase in your life!

The movie is said to be a biopic, all about Winnie Mandela, who is the wife of former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela. The drama will reportedly be based on the Anne du Preez Bezrob biography, “Winnie Mandela: A Life.”

And it appears that Hudson is not worried at all, about taking on the challenging role. Hudson says that she was compelled and moved when she read the script for the movie. She also says that she is honoured to be asked to portray Winnie.

Celebrities born on this day: Jamie Lee Curtis, Rodney Dangerfield, Mariel Hemingway, Billie Jean King, Boris Becker, Scott Robinson, Brian Robbins, Tom Conti, Robert Vaughn

Celebrity Gossip: It is increasingly common for Hip Hop and Rap artists in particular to branch out from music at a very early stage in their career and launch a whole range of different business interests. Fifty Cent has perhaps gone one better than any of his peers by writing a whole book on his approach to business and setting himself up as a very alternative kind of management guru. This will certainly have some novelty value, but there are no signs in his chart of him ever becoming a serious player in the field of management theory!

Today’s Chinese Proverb: What you see is real; what you hear may not be.

Today’s Motivational Quote: Long years you’ve kept the door ajar To greet me, coming from afar. Long years in my accustomed place I’ve read my welcome in your face. — Robert Bridges

Today’s Wisdom from around the world: The worse the passage the more welcome the port. — English Proverb

Forecast for people born on this day: Happy Birthday! The months ahead are likely to start with a need to take on a new and absorbing interest. Christmas will be great, as long as you don’t let the demands of work or school take over! An unusual but very beneficial planetary formation suggests that by April there will be a definite need to slow down and rethink your priorities! Seeking deeper meaning and exploring your creative side will help you feel grounded again! Mid July sees a change of career or change of future aims, while August sees the possibility of a new romance. Don’t be fooled by a disastrous or awkward start; this will be a slow-burner! October could be a tricky month, with Mercury causing communication problems; avoid image changes until November!
