How do you think Christmas must be celebrated?

I know a lot of people probably do the traditional get a gift, receive a gift for each family member & get more gifts for the kids in the family but what about those of you who do something different? For instance, we’re all trying to save money and last year we each went out and bought one $25 gift card to somewhere & then we did a “secret santa” deal and put the gift card in a big basket and we each drew out a gift card, and whichever one you received was yours. We called out names and if it was your turn, you got a gift card. If someone went after you though, and they didn’t want their gift card and instead wanted yours…they could steal yours.


Well, that was a great idea and I enjoyed it. Only thing was, it went by so fast and there was no gifts to open, and it just didn’t feel “Christmas-y”. THIS year though I came up with the idea that instead of gift cards we give presents

Due to its amazing cultural display, El Carnaval de Barranquilla was proclaime  by UNESCO, in November 2003, as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. It’s second only to the Carnival in Rio in terms of size and, of course, fun! There are four main Carnival days, you can feel the ambiance changing weeks prior to it, when the Carebeann rhythm of carnival music fills the air in anticipation of

what virtues must have a person today to make earth a better place to live in

A great crisis of our times is failure to realize that we have a drive to make the world we live in a better place. All animals have a drive to make their environment better, albeit, applied to other animals, “better” just means safer, more comfortable, or pleasurable. For humans, the term also means fairer and more moral. Of course, “better” is a relative term, sometimes confused with “great” or “good” or “acceptable.” Because we’re highly limited in making the world we live in great or good or even acceptable, we lose sight of the need to make it better. Yet the smallest ways of making the world better can ultimately be the most potent, by virtue of the butterfly effect, where the smallest change in one part of the ecosystem affects large changes in other parts. The psychological mechanism of the butterfly effect is composed of the fundamental ways that social animals, including humans, communicate and cooperate: modeling, emotional display, and mimicry. Modeling is simply e
