Christmas, in my opinion, is one of the best holidays to celebrate. As a child, I always enjoyed running into Mom and Dad's room and waking them up. The whole family would then go out and open presents on Christmas morning. Just like any child, I loved the whole season and the anticipation for Christmas morning. As I get older, the anticipation for Christmas morning is not as prevalent, because I understand that those gifts cost my family money. I even feel bad when my family spends too much on me, just for the holidays.
Who's Got Shoe Game?
A shoe game is a game played by students (maybe even some adults) in schools. I don't know the age range of the participants, but the students in 7th and 8th grade at my school worry about their 'shoe game.' A shoe game is a comparison between the amount and type of shoes owned. This is a big deal to my students in middle school, because having a bunch of different shoes and really nice shoes is a status symbol. This could possibly be from the fact that my school has a dress code for shirts, jackets and pants, but no dress code on shoes.
The Thanksgiving Challenge
As a child, I didn't understand the importance of Thanksgiving. All I cared about was Christmas! I wanted those presents (just like any kid). So as a kid, Thanksgiving was kind of a boring holiday, because all we did was get together eat food and hang out with family. I didn't understand the simple importance of spending time with family. I didn't understand the little things in life that make this world great.
What Does a Donald Trump Presidency mean for the Stock Market?
We are one week into the election of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. There were plenty of theories on what would happen to the market if Trump was elected, and these theories mainly projected a Brexit like dip. I was even hoping for this outcome. I love to buy, when the market is on sale. When the market dropped after the Brexit vote, I invested $1,000 in the market and I have earned a good chunk of money on that one decision.
Today Is Not the End of the World
As you may of heard, today is election day. The day where the end of one of the craziest election cycles finally occurs. The day where many people will run to polls to vote against Trump or vote against Hillary. A lot of people don't like either candidate, and that's why this election cycle has been so disappointing. The two major parties in America today, selected probably the two worst candidates for president.
