The burning of fossil fuels for an automobile's energy creates many terrible side effects for ourselves and our environment. Besides the depletion of these limited resources, harmful emissions are subsequently released into the environment. The exhaust gases released from automobiles account for almost three quarters of the nitrogen oxides and over half of the reactive hydrocarbons released into our constantly depleting ozone. This is the leading cause of global warming. Air pollution has also been estimated as the cause of approximately 30,000 deaths in the United States each year alone. When considering the cities with the dirtiest air, one U.S. study revealed a mortality rate 17-26% higher than...

My very first job, as a lowly assistant to an assistant advertising manager, was the job that first brought me into contact with Kwanzaa. It wasn't called Kwanzaa then. In fact, Kwanzaa didn't even exist then. What I learned about was a wonderful holiday celebrated by American plantation slaves during the week between Christmas and New Years. They cooked special dishes, created special gifts, and sang special songs. I learned about this tradition in a book called "Christmas Gif' " which Follett Publishing Company published that year. I was very proud to be part of its promotion. "Christmas Gif' " has long been out of print, but I still remember the joy that shone through the pages. Dr. Maulana...

A number of holidays are celebrated by pagans, those who do not believe in Christ. Most of these holidays are associated with seasons and cycles of nature and are sometimes referred to as the Wheel of the Year. A person may practice any form of paganism and that determines which holidays they celebrate throughout the year. People belonging to the Wiccan religion are the most popular of the pagans in the US. Sabbat, the cycle of life between the God and the Goddess is the most celebrated. It consists of eight holidays such as Samhain, Imbolc, Yule, Lughnasadh, Beltane, Midsummer, Ostara, and Mabon. These are the main holidays celebrated by the pagans. Samhain, considered the Celtic New Year, is...

Gingerbread houses are not just for Christmas anymore. Liven up your kitchen with a colorful Haunted House Cookie Kit that you can make with the kids. Wilton Haunted Houses come in pre-baked or pre-assembled kits. The pre-baked kits are great if you want to put your own house together. You get all the house pieces, along with icing and candies to decorate it. The key to making a gingerbread house that actually stays together and holds its shape is all in the icing. If you make the icing too thin, the walls will separate and won't support the roof. The key to good icing (for all baking) is to have a proper stand mixer and beat for at least 10 minutes. Remember that the icing needs time to dry...

If you are looking for trendy innovative ways to decorate for Christmas, you've come to the right place. You could start the decorating off on the trendy foot by opting for an upside down Christmas tree. You did hear correctly these trees are widely available and are designed after a pagan tradition in which trees were nailed to the ceilings of home upside down. This works better with artificial trees rather than real trees, as artificial trees need a steady supply of water to their roots. Just be sure to hang the tree out of the way so that it doesn't invade 'head space' within the room. Another great trend in Christmas decorating is to use ribbons rather than traditional balls and globes on your...

Then, send them...

Five centuries ago, Christmas was virtually nonexistent in Mexico; in fact, Christianity had not even been introduced to the New World. The native Aztec Indians weren't even aware of the concept of Christianity until 1524, when Twelve Franciscans (Twelve Apostles of New Spain) came to Mexico; about a decade later, the Dominicans followed. Soon after the arrival of the Twelve Franciscans, some of the native Indians began accepting the story of Christ and converting to Christianity. One such Indian, an indigenous farmer named Cuauhtlatoatzin (the talking eagle in the Nahuatl language) living north of what is now known as Mexico City, claimed to have witnessed an apparition of the Virgin Mary on...
