-Choice-
How do you feel when your torn in two? You know the answer, you know the best choice, you know who you love, theres no reason to force... He's the one that makes me laugh when I really want to cry, he's the one I kiss and I'm not depressed inside. My choice is between two and the answer is so clear, he is the one I want so very near.
He's the one that I love and the one I don't want to go away. For I love him this strongly and I need him here. He's the very reason I smile today, and frown when we have to walk away. He's the reason I'm still breathing and the reason I'm still strong... he's the reason I sing happy songs, and I'll keep him forever and much longer.

Thanksgiving!

Who doesnt love the turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, rolls and other great food when Thanksgiving comes around? Every fourth Thursday in November familes gather and share a meal together. Although the food is delicious thats not what the most important part of Thanksgiving is. Thanksgiving is about what it represents, what it symbolizes, what it means. Which is, what your thankful for (Hints the name, Thanksgiving).

How did this holiday, or tradition begin? In 1620 people from England known as Pilgrims came so they could have religious freedoms. They wanted to choose their own church. They came on a ship called "The Mayflower". They lived in a place called Plymouth. The Indians and the pilgrims soon became friends. The Native Americans helped them find food and build shelters. That's when Thanksgiving began. The set down to have a harvest feast and from then on the tradition has continued.

Hiden hope
In our daily dispares,
we stand in broken hope.
when it seems no one cares,
we should new ways to cope.
we live our lives in fear,
and we walk in silent pain.
hurting people we hold dear,
seems like we're going insane.
the sun don't shine,
and our tears are our rain.
i need love mine,
the devils little game.
through all our troubles,
we need some hope.
no flirty bubbles,
we don't play in soap.
we sit and suffer,
don't say a word.
till someone discovers,
a waiting bird.
To take by the hand,
to kiss by thy lips.
to finally understand,
and have no broken bliss.
to have no rain,
the hiden hope.
stop the devils little game,
we found our new way to cope.

The Origin of Halloween

Halloween. Trick or Treating, candy, costumes, carving pumpkins are all traditions of this holiday. Its always a celebratory event each year that it takes place. October 31 is the date that can be mistaken for demonic behavior. To others, its a wonderful time to have a great atime with your friends. But, how did Halloween begin?

Most Historians trace the origin of Halloween back to the Celtics. Costumes and treats was a part of the Celtic celebrations. Traditional Halloween symbols such as witches, black cats, pumpkins, candles, masks, parties and pranks, appeared in the U.S. during the late 1800's. In 1848, millions of Irish emigrants came into America as a result of the potato famine. With this sudden rush of people, the holiday of Druidism found is way here. Proudly Celtic, they called Halloween Oidche Shamhna or Night of Samhain as their ancestors had, and kept the traditional things. Trick-or-treat in Europe was called souling. Beggars would go from village to village begging for "soul cakes" made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers could guarantee a soul's passage to heaven. Before Pumpkins played a role in Halloween,the Irish would crave Jack O'Lanterns into turnips. When the Irish emigrated to America they could not find many turnips to carve into Jack O'Lanterns but they did find alot of pumpkins. Pumpkins seemed to be a suitable substitute for the turnips and pumpkins have been a big part of Halloween celebrations ever since. The faces was intended to frighten away evil spirits. Black cats was considered to be a religious thing in halloween.They was thought of as reincarnated beings and known to predict the future. Bats, owls and other nocturanal animals, also popular symbols of Halloween, were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead. Present day, Bobbing for apples is just a simple game that is a must at Halloween parties. Back in the day people thought of it as a way to gain good fortune. For example, unmarried people would all get in a pail and try to take a bite of an apple. The first to do was said the next to be married.

In the end, you've learned how the celtics started this holiday.

Its been on Earth for many, many years.
