Merry Christmas

Christmas is a widely and global celebration season holiday. It is the most widely celebrated festival all over the world. Christmas has a long and varied history. It has been celebrated for centuries by different people, at different times, in different places, and in many different ways. I am trying right now to give an enjoyable and reasonable why people need to celebrate Christmas and what it is all about.

Christmas was commonly celebrated even before according to the ancient history. Christmas tree have a big part of this season. It is a symbol

of warm, light and joy. Did you ask to your mind why the
Christmas is December 25 and winter time, the weather is cold. Back to the ancient time during a winter season they bring woods and died trees in their homes to burn and fire it to feel warm around the house. They observe the burn woods is become a dazzling light and give joy to their heart and eyes. The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Centuries before the arrival of the man called Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. Many peoples rejoiced during the winter solstice, when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight. Christmas is a looking forward to our brighter life. It is not just about a history of ancient time or a regular holiday of our calendar. Christmas is for joy, for giving and sharing, for laughter, for coming together with family and friends, for tinsel and brightly decorated packages... But mostly, Christmas is for love that we thanks so much we been here in this world, we got a lot of experience even it is good and bad we rejoice it because we extending forward for another year to have a better life and correct all our mistake. In christian we celebrating love from Jesus came to this world and sacrificed his life he teach a lot of people about a good life and being a good Christian. I know their is a part of this world Did not believe about Jesus and Band the Christmas but hope those people realized that we Christian we Believed God, and Jesus is a Good example to us he lead the righteousness of life and teach the right and what is wrong. What ever religion are you it doesn't matter to me because people the same have one heart. All you need to do to your heart plant love and rejoice it, plant positive to your heart so you can harvest positive in the next year.

Thus Christmas is a celebration of love and mirth symbolized by the Nativity, the Santa, the caribou, the poinsettia and the evergreens. All that bring home

the spirit of love and life. And this is the spirit that makes Christmas so popular throughout the world. Though originated by the Roman Catholics who commemorate the December 25th as the day of birth of Christ Child, it has gradually come to be celebrated by the non-Catholics as well. As far as the United States goes, the celebration of Christmas is comparatively of recent origin. Much of the world was already well into Christmas celebrations by the time the United States began to wake up. In the first half of the 19th century the Sunday schools in America held Christmas celebrations. And the celebration of Christmas in America owes its origin to these schools. Alabama was the first state to grant legal recognition to Christmas in 1836. The DC did it in 1870. By 1893 all the states and territories had made similar acknowledgements.


WISH I GIVE YOU A REASON WHY WE NEED TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IT IS SHARING LOVE AND REJOICE OUR LIFE WHILE WE ARE HERE IN THIS WORLD!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL AND MORE BLESSINGS TO COME......

FLORIDA SANDHILL CRANE

Here are the other wild birds visiting in our back yard. They are kinda scary because their beck is long plus they are tall birds and can fly high also like the other small birds. The name of this birds is Florida Sandhill Crane they are belong to the endangered species bird and protected by the government. You cannot kill them because you find $25,000.

One night I grill in the patio of our backyard I know I made a lot of great foods smell. Early in the morning when I am ready to open the back door to watch the nice view of the lake I heard something noise so I check it out then I found out the two big birds are loud and noise. I think they smell my foods and want it. I was surprise
because they are already in front of my door and watching at me. I grab some of my food and feed them. It's look like they love it because they stay longer.
When my husband went home that night he find out that the name of that bird is Sandhill Crane. He said that kind of bird is always a couples , they walking around as a partner because when her/his partner kill or die the other crane remaining will become sick and died also so this bird cannot survive alone. I observed also that this bird are protecting each other when the one is eating the one is watching and guard if their is an enemy.
In the night when my hubby know there is a crane in our back yard visiting we decided to buy birds seeds to feed them.
I got first picture of my hubby feeding the crane I was scared watching him because he is getting near to the bird. The crane was felt they have a new home, so every morning and afternoon they are always stay at the backyard eats the foods.

One day my Filipina friend visited me I told here I got new friend I bring her to the back yard she was surprised because she seen the big bird and she was scared a little also. Me and my hubby was cutting the weeds that time so my friend just
watching us. When my friend felt little bored she
go out in the back yard and trying to help us suddenly the crane birds don't like her they attack my friend they flown across the backyard towards to my friend. My friend was freck out and screaming she was scared because the bird spread their wings wide and the beck are ready to attack. That time my friend is lucky because the crane birds are listening to my hubby when he clapped his hand and say nooo so my friend was feel relief she just go back inside the house.

According to the research Crane birds are one of the wild birds in the North America and more have territories here in Florida. They are known to their dance. The cranes' beauty and their spectacular mating dances have made them highly symbolic birds in many cultures with records dating back to ancient times.

WILD DUCK IN FLORIDA

That's me I was feeding to my new friend duck crusher in our back yard. There is a small lake in our back yard that's why different birds I can see there. It is nice place for relaxation I enjoy watching the water and different birds fly cross the lake.

The friendly duck he spread his wings when I took a picture to him. Every time I say hello and call him, he respond and waving his tail. It is a funny day to feed them which you know in a simple way you connect the environment and being friendly to some animals.

Every morning and noon time I walk in the side of lakes to feeds some birds and fish. It is a one way also to enjoy my self while I'm at home.

The environmental system in Florida are strict
regarding animals and birds. You are not allow to
kill them they are all protected. Once you caught
you kill them you find thousand of dollars.

This are the some group of wild goose in the lake Florida they are shy and scared to the people. When I am start walking around and getting near to them they are start moving far at me. They fly high like some other birds. Over in the Philippines goose is the one who reproduce a good eggs for balot. Balot is the one of the exotic foods over there in the Philippines. It is the boil eggs with a little chick inside. Many Filipino eat that balot because it is rich of proteins and good for the appetizer. One of most people I heard Balot is good food to recover your strength when you feel week or sick. Actually that's is one of my favorite Filipino food Balot with hot sauce vinegar.

Taking some Photo when I was feel bored while I was making busy to my self crocheting a new bag. Crochet is one of my hobbies and skills when I was coming here in America. Back then over in Philippines I really don't care this staff I was remember when I was high school I felt tired and hard time doing this simple project.

Now I can create different staff in Crochet like swim wear, bags and hat. My husband help me a lot to push me doing this things and got interest. He bought me a set of materials for crochet and book where it will teach you how to start crocheting.
