The Celebration Nation: September 2011

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 26, 2011. Welcome to Autumn Splendor! Perhaps it has something to do with my hair color, but every year when fall settles upon us, my soul is happy and I find genuine contentment with the world around me. The colors! Oh, the colors! Brilliant reds, decadent oranges, deep russets, glowing coppers… the hues that create the palette of fall feel like home to me, and I am at peace. The smell of the season I look forward to all year long! Welcome, Autumn. I’ve missed you. The significance of ...

The Celebration Nation: The Best of Times, the Worst of Times: Happy Birthday, Charles Dickens!

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2012/02/best-of-times-worst-of-times-happy.html

Thursday, February 9, 2012. The Best of Times, the Worst of Times: Happy Birthday, Charles Dickens! Yesterday marked the 200. Like most children, my first exposure to the works of Dickens was a holiday viewing of one of several film adaptations of A Christmas Carol. Most likely it was George C. Scott I saw mumbling "Bah! While I'd already tested the waters of other Dickens novels in middle school, it wasn’t until my freshman year of high school that my class was required to tackle Great Expectations.

The Celebration Nation: August 2011

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 30, 2011. In Celebration of Grandparents. In 1978, Congress passed legislation that proclaimed the first Sunday after Labor Day would be National Grandparents Day, a national holiday. The purpose of such a day was to honor these special people and to help foster children’s awareness of the love, guidance, strength and wisdom this older generation offers. Why is it important to honor grandparents? Where did your grandparents meet? Is there a special cultural dish they loved as a child?

The Celebration Nation: Love Your Library!

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2012/02/love-your-library.html

Friday, February 24, 2012. Along with a few other celebrations, the month of February is proud host to Love Your Library month. Whether you're a parent with young children, a career-minded individual, a grandparent, or anyone in between, there are ample reasons to love your library! True, libraries are no longer the only place to find abundant information. In a world of internet surfing and online books and magazines, one would think that libraries have lost a bit of their importance. Not so! My kids hav...

The Celebration Nation: A Visit from the Tooth Fairy

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2012/02/visit-from-tooth-fairy.html

Friday, February 10, 2012. A Visit from the Tooth Fairy. My daughter is funny about losing teeth. While we've never come at her with pliers to extract her wiggly pearly whites, she won't let my husband or me anywhere near her mouth. Rather, this job is for Grandma. Or, in this case, a ham sandwich. But alas, her rumbling tummy must have gotten the better of her, for she came home from school yesterday to announce that one bite into her sandwich found her loose tooth embedded in her bread. View my complet...

The Celebration Nation: December 2011

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 22, 2011. Yuletide Arts and Crafts. My father, a man of mathematics, science and logic, who spent the better part of 47 years working in a laboratory testing soil samples and rocks, is not what one would call artistic. In fact, when asked about the aesthetic quality of an item, he's more likely to respond with, "Well, does it make sense and is it useful? I would create my very own Yule log for the Christmas table. Have you considered the dripping wax? Before commencing, he carefully me...

The Celebration Nation: July 2011

http://thecelebrationnation.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 15, 2011. Calling All Caped Crusaders! What little boy isn’t enamored with superheroes? My son is just a forward-thinking little crime fighter! As evidenced by the other little cape-wearing characters in the neighborhood, superheroes are a big hit with little boys. So what better way to celebrate boyhood than by having a superhero birthday party? Invite all your little Man of Steel’s sidekicks (or arch rivals! Pin the nose on the Joker, anyone? Game prizes and goodie bags can include inexpen...
