With four days remaining in 2011, many people are considering what changes they want to make in 2012. As a child, I can remember making resolutions for the new year, both at home and school. While resolutions can spark new adventures and growth, more often than not, they are cast aside after a few weeks. I know that most of my childhood resolutions were less than successful.
However, the start of a new year is inspiring for many. It's a blank slate, a chance to improve your health, expand your mind, enhance your life.  Maybe this is year that

Celebrate the Season
Although it has felt like the holiday season since the day after Thanksgiving (at least for me), the season truly is upon us. Hanukkah begins tonight, and Christmas is only four days away. Last minute shopping, baking, and wrapping have taken many homes by storm.
At our house, we have had our own share of last minute preparations. While I expected the previously noted shopping, baking, and wrapping, I did not expect to be un-decorating one tree and replacing it with another. But I did. We had had our tree gracing our living room for two weeks, during which

Gadgets, Gaming, & My Confession
One of the things that I like best about WMG is that there is a channel for almost every interest. The opposite of that is that all channels will not appeal to all people. That applies to everyone, even me, the Editor-in-Chief who created and built all eight channels and their twenty-four properties.
Yes, I have to confess, the Circuitry channel is not all that appealing to me. I am ambivalent toward gadgets. I own a smartphone, a laptop, and iPod. However, I don't feel the urge to upgrade to an iTouch and currently don't feel that I need

December Highlights
I'm not the sort of person who does all of her Christmas shopping early. I treat shopping for presents the same way that I treat Christmas music; neither is allowed to occur before the day after Thanksgiving. While it might seem that acting as such would make December a hectic month, I find that it adds more excitement and holiday spirit to the month. Of course, I love having a full calendar, so maybe this desire to be busy isn't typical.
In addition to the shopping, there are other events to keep me busy during the month. For the

Politics Should Be Discussed
We've all heard the adage, "Don't discuss religion or politics." It is appropriate in certain situations, if you want to maintain peace and harmony. For example, the big family dinner at Thanksgiving may not be the best time to discuss politics with your great uncle whose opinions are 180 degrees opposite to yours.
Living in New Hampshire, home of the first presidential primary, politics is a frequent topic of discussion. It is hard to drive anywhere in the state for the two years leading up to the primary and not see a sign for a candidate. The signs alone

Giving Thanks
At my house, we have already celebrated Thanksgiving. Rather than trying to make everyone's schedule conform to the specified date, we decided to observe the holiday this past Saturday. Moving the date gave us a holiday that was less stressful: no fighting crowds at the airport, no lines at the grocery store. It was simply a day to be with friends and family enjoying good food and wonderful company.
With our official Thanksgiving already complete, I won't be spending today finalizing the menu, picking up a 20-pound turkey, or preparing the house for company. Instead, today I can truly
