Happy Hannukah To Our Jewish Friends !!

Wishing a Happy Hanukkah 2009 to all Jewish Brothers and Sisters. Hanukkah/Chanukah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish Holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in  Jerusalem.Hanukkah is observed for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew Calendar, which may occur as early as late November to as late as late December in the Gregorian Calendar.
An important part of the Hanukah celebration is the menorah. This is a candleholder with eight candles and a shammash or servant candle. One candle is lit by the shammash for each of the night of Hanukah.After the lighting of the candles, people give gifts to one another. People sing and make merry. A popular food for Hanukah is potato pancakes, or latkes, cooked in oil in honor of the miracle.

Christmas Arrives at the Obama White House

The First Lady chooses traditional decorations for the family’s first Yuletide in Washington.
The 2009 White House Christmas tree is an 18.5-ft. Douglas fir. It was grown in Shepherdstown, W.Va
The tree is lit with environmentally friendly LED lights and decorated with more than 800 ornaments from previous White House Administrations.The theme of the decor is “Reflect, Rejoice and Renew.”

Display of Christmas Lights- One of my many hobbies is to drive around to see the display of Christmas lights. I find it very soothing and relaxing. Enjoy these few photos,more to come.

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.

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.

Thanksgiving Recipes-Using your roots to flavor Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it’s centered around food (not gifts and shopping), and because it’s a holiday where everyone is welcome. You don’t have to be a certain religion or culture to celebrate it — it’s about breaking bread and being with the people you care about. Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone
