This is the owner of JoshiesWorld, Joshua “Joshie” Sullivan, and I want to personally wish every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays, such as Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and others I may have forgotten to mention! As for Hanukkah, I am somewhat late, as it is celebrated from December 14 to 22. But I still want to recognize that, as other holidays besides Christmas and New Year are important as well. Some know what these holidays are, where they come from, and how they are celebrated. The celebration of Christmas started in Rome around 336, but it was not a major Christian festival until the 19th century, which began on January 1 in 1801 and ended on December 31 in 1900. The original reason for Christmas was to celebrate Jesus Christ’s birthday on December 25, a tradition established by Pope Julius I, combining religious observances with influences from winter solstice festivals such as Yule and Saturnalia. As for Hanukkah, it is a holiday for the Jewish people, the word Hanukkah means dedication due to purifying the Temple after the Jewish resistance against the Greek occuptation by Seleucid Empire after they outlawed the Jewish practices and defiled their Temple in 168 B.C.E. Hanukkah holiday also marks Jewish resists having their culture destroyed, and the fight…
My heart and thoughts go out to the victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles, California. Many of the victims lose their homes, some of them homes that they grew up living in and continued to live in. This is not the time nor a place to be political about it. These people are suffering, and we have a few politicians who sneer at them just because California isn’t a Republican state. That should not matter; they are human beings affected by it. Both parties should be united for once and help these people affected by California’s wildfires. It’s not only a saddening thing to see that these people in California’s wildfires suffer while politicians like President-elect Donald Trump make silly remarks and spew nonsense words instead of listening to what they need help with and then taking action. For instance, President Joe Biden did that for Texas when a hurricane hit Texas severely. President Biden quickly declared an emergency for that state and sent FEMA down there right away instead of spewing the silly words that President-elect Donald Trump is saying. Donald Trump will be the President of the United States of America whether we like it or not. Still, he needs to be America’s president rather than being a President to only a certain group or for himself.…
Joshie here at JoshiesWorld, I wish you Merry Christmas today and Happy New Year in a few days – Happy Holiday 2024! I hope that every one of you has a great Christmas; spending time with your family and friends is something that gets rarer as we get older, so all of you who are at a young age, please take the time to spend with your family. Have a great feast; it’s a great excuse for pigging out, especially if you are on a diet! I am somewhat restricted when it comes to diet. Still, on holiday days, I put my diet striction aside and pig out because how can it not be any better than having a big feast with your family at your family’s dinner table or in your living room while laughing! Cherish those memories, treasure them, and have a great time! I hope you get the presents you want or ask for, but they are not more important than spending time with your family because being able to do so is the greatest present itself! If you are legal, enjoy some drinks, but please be safe, especially if you are not driving! The same goes for New Year’s Eve because some of you like to party hard on New Year! If you are not legal,…
