Month of "December"

Just like every year, we tend to get excited when December comes. Commercialism normally advertises in every news paper. But, will it be the same this year in spite of the economic crisis? With the number of properties being repossesed, Department stores are filing for bankruptcy and job layoffs are drastically increasing, but do you think this will stop consumers???

CHRISTMAS is celebrated around the world. Some are excited because "Christmas" is right around the corner. But often we ask "Why" do we cebrate and "HOW" do we celebrate "Christmas.? For many, christmas is being celebrated with their families and friends, exchanging gifts, and having a moments of "Peace, Joy and Love." WHERE do we fit in???? Well, As I was acustomed to say, "Christmas is Everyday." Although, we do things that we can only do during Christmas time e.g. decorate the house with ornaments.

Well this year for the first time after so many years, I decided to put up a "pre-lit christmas tree" and a few decorations on top of the fire place. It actually looks nice and feels like home. As a tradition, our family travels every year during this holiday. This year is no exception. Our destination this time around is Malta.
Where is Malta? Malta is in Europe and located South West of the italian island of Sicily. It is North of the African continent and sits in the Mediterranean sea. The island is about 315 sq. km.
Well so much about the history, I will be able to share more after we come back from the trip.
Enjoy your holidays!
