  • The Twelve Days of Christmas a Testimony-Based Devotional by Dayna Schoonmaker
    The Twelve Days of Christmas A Testimony-based Devotional by Dayna Schoonmaker The Twelve Days of Christmas A Testimony-based Devotional by Dayna Schoonmaker For many of you, it may be old news that the twelve days of Christmas begin on ​ Christmas day rather than ending on the 25th. But, somehow, I grew up with the idea ​ that the twelve days of Christmas was part of the hype leading up to the arrival of Santa and the birth of Jesus. It’s not surprising since the song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ plays alongside ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas’ throughout December. Still, it was somewhat unsettling to find I’d been doing Christmas ‘wrong’ for years. The problem with this misunderstanding is that Advent is the season that leads up to ​ ​ Christmas, while the twelve days of Christmas are meant to be celebrated beginning on the 25th. By pushing the twelve days of Christmas into the Advent season, we deny ourselves room to experience the longing that precedes Christmas, almost like skipping the pregnancy and going straight to the birth. And I get it. By December of each year, and this year in particular, I am ready for the holly, jolly part of the season to go ahead and get here. Once December 25th rolls around, I am usually ready to clean things up and move on. However, by denying the fullness of Advent with its tiny wonders amid the waiting, we also diminish the full revelation of Christmas, when Light bursts forth into the darkness and transforms everything.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger JINGLE BELLS A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Refrain: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Is the hope of Janice and Jen; Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go; Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, Over fields we go, laughing all the way The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain) Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride sing right within your heart And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, Santa Claus is Coming to Town We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

This is most obvious in games that remediate classic literature. From the text-based adventure Dracula (CRL 1986) and the dubious side-scrolling action of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Bandai 1988), to more recent examples such as Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome (MagicIndie 2012) and The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature (La Belle Games 2019), video game creators have consistently adopted and adapted Gothic characters, tropes, and narratives. In some cases the works of a specific author have been used as the foundation of a game space, as in The Dark Eye (Inscape 1995), a point-and-click game based on the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.
