Christmas

The African Christmas is similar to ours.They go to church on the 25 and have family over. They have a
get together and eat and drink. They have all kinds of different rices, and foods that they enjoy.

In Spain the tradition starts on the 24 where there is a bigger celebration then on Christmas.
They have a big meal and the biggest thing to them is the Christmas mass. They always go.

In Pakistan they celebrate by helping others. They help get sick homeless and imprisoned people
gifts and a large dinner for everyone to enjoy.

Community is something different to people today. People think that community is just knowing your neighbors and waving to them. Thats not all that it is though. People need to realize that community is helping people and getting along with them and sharing, like the old days if someone asked for sugar people would have lent it to them. Then if that person needed something they could go ask that person who asked for the sugar. Its helping people out. Thats what a good community is all about. Say if someone needed help with moving something they should be able to just ask someone to help and most people would help. Now its a very difficult thing to do most people wouldn't help anymore. People mostly wouldn't open there door for someone they didnt really know. Not everyone is capable to do everything they need to get done in a day. People shouldnt really even need to ask for help someone should just offer but its not like that anymore. A good community should be full people who all know each other and get along and are willing to help one another in a time of struggle. This would be an ideal community.

President Obama

The president was interviewed with Oprah about the Christmas at the white house. He was asked some personal questions and about everything that he has done and is planning on doing. He was talking about the 3o thousand troops that he plans to send to Afghanistan and that they wount be going till atleast the first of the year. He graded himself on what he has done so far also and gave himself a b+ because he hasnt gotten to the bottom of the healthcare. He said once he dose then he will give himself an a-. He also said if he dosent do things rite then he will blame himself for what has gone wrong. He said there is no blaming anyone else. He also made the christmas at the white house for everyone so to speak. He sent out christmas ordaments to be covered/ made by people around the country. This is a way for everyone to have a part in there Christmas.
