St. Nicholas... another name for Santa or Santa himself? Whatever guys, he is as lovable and popular as Santa himself. And with St. Nicholas Day today, we can safely say that Christmas is truely here! Speaking of Christmas, have U people made your gifts, 'coz here's another chance to do them on Make A Secret Gift Day.

And if U kind of feel lazy doing such stuff, just happy up your friends and loved ones by sending them these cool ecards on Make A Gift Day.

Wreathed In Joy!!
2006-12-13 07:30:02
Hey, have U people made your Christmas wreaths yet? If not, get going 'coz today's Make A Wreath Day... and there's not much time left to Ho Ho! I like the concept of wreaths. Don't you? A simple wreath adds so much color and makes a simple door way so festive to look at... it can also be a very innovative and sweet gift if U add something special and really personalize it! Celebrating the holidays, especially Christmas is just doubled with all these simple old time traditions. Speaking of which, today is also a day to celebrate something out of our childhood... Cotton Candy! Ahh, the sticky feel of cotton candy on the faces just take U back to the playground and the fairs. A ride on the carousel and a cotton candy stick on one hand, was the idea of ultimate joy! If U like invention and being adventurous, then here's a cotton candy making that I found... take a look! Cotton candy is nothing but pure sugar. To make the sugar 'cottony', you need: ...

Over The Weekend!!
2006-12-13 07:30:02
Hellooo... It's sunday nite and that means a new week's starting and that also means more classes and exams... sigh! But, something really gladdened my heart on friday, and that was celebrating Brownie Day with lotsa brownies! Yummm, it was simply yumm. This holiday season is really not doing me any good with all these goodies on display. It's was almost a crime to have even Pastry Day lurking on saturday, but hey, I resisted myself to one wee little pastry only! Another thing that also crossed my mind was, Christmas Cards ! With Christmas cards, you really have to hurry up... come on, you can't send a card after the holidays are over. So, I made few and I hope you guys did the same too. If not, get going soon with them. It's really easy 'coz all U need is to get your creative ideas flowing! Time for me to sigh off too... I gotta go and hunt for few brownie recipes and promise to post them soon too!

Happy Birthday UNICEF!!
2006-12-13 07:30:02
Hey people, today is a gr8 day.. Today's the Birth day of UNICEF - United Nations Children's Fund. It was founded today back in 1946. Do U know where the 'E' came from in the acronym? Well, until the 1953, it was United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund ? and we still use the same acronym. Besides, it's easier to pronounce it right? Visit the UNICEF Voice of Youth pages to play some interactive games and learn more. "The State of the World's Children" is the title UNICEF has for 2007 on the official UNICEF site. You know something that we use maybe almost everyday. We're thankful it exists especially when we're stuck in traffic. What is it? It's Radio. And today is Radio Day . It is believed that Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic wireless message (from England to Canada) this very day in 1901. That makes over 105 years ago!

Color Me Red!!
2006-12-13 07:30:02
I'm in the mood for Christmas totally... and my heart just gladdened when walking back home today, I saw a bunch of Poinsettias! They are a mystery plant all rite... There's so many myths and legends associated with the plant. Poinsettias are actually native of Southern Mexico, Central America and Africa. They also grow in the wild in Hawaii and Puerto Rico.There's a Mexican legend that explains how it got associated with Christmas. A child (some sites say a girl, some a boy) couldn't afford a gift for Christ on Christmas Eve. So she picked some weeds from the side of the road. The child understood that the gift didn't need to be great. It just had to be given with love and would be acceptable in God's eyes. When she brought the weeds into the church, it blossomed into red and green flowers!The Mayan Indians believed that poinsettias are powerful creatures from another world while the Aztecs saw the poinsettia as a symbol of purity. Today, we know the poinsettia to be Christm...
