How our calendar came to be

Given that it's New Year's Eve, I figured you would enjoy this cool video. It shows you how our current calendar came to be the way it is now. Pretty cool stuff

25 days of christmas: day 25-Merry Christmas!!

here's a great Christmas heart warmer for you. And I hope your Christmas has been great

25 days of christmas: day 24-luminaries

The reason why I waited till later to post this one today is because I had to get some pictures of the luminaries on my street. Unfortunately these pictures don't do the luminaries any justice at all, but they always look really pretty because the street is a hill that curves a bit. That always makes for super pretty lights.

the view looking down the hill from about halfway up

                                                   this gives a pretty good view of the curve up the hill

25 days of christmas: day 23-my gingerbread house

being that I'm back home in STL I'm finally doing Christmas-esque stuff. One of which is decorating a gingerbread house. It's kinda lame, but oh well

25 days of christmas: day 22-the Magic Tree

Last night I got to go to the Magic Tree here in Columbia. As with last year I don't have an actual camera so I had to use my phone camera, so that's why all the pictures are slightly blurry.

                                                            This one's my favorite

Take a look at all those different types of LED's. I'd love to talk to the guy about where he gets all of these

25 days of christmas: day 21-a country music Christmas

I like country music, Christmas and Christmas songs-well doesn't that work out well for this next installment of 25 days of Christmas! Here's some awesome country music stars singing some awesome Christmas songs.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing



Have yourself a merry little Christmas



Alan Jackson-A Holly Jolly Christmas



Faith Hill-Silent Night

25 days of christmas: day 20-"not the gumdrop buttons"

Ok so this isn't Christmas in any way, but going along with the theme of day 19: gingerbread I figured everybody would enjoy it.
