Do you Believe?

Every one has herd of the childhood icon Santa Clause. Every December, even before you could remember you would go to the mall with your family and go sit on a man's lap wearing a red suit and with a big white beard. Going up to see him with your one christmas wish for that year, and getting your picture taken with him. Yes we all love Santa.

But what really happens to us? Why do we all stop believing? Is it because we are older and feel we don't need that kind of hero any moore, or is it we have just become too "cool" to care. Shouldn't we always keep some of our childhood with us, all those memorys on that one figure that we have end up deciding to ignore. Personally I think we should keep on believing, let that little hope of something magical stay with us, truley forever.

So Santa, could he really be real? Well how so they explain all of the stories about him, lives up north, delivers presents,has elves build toys,eat cookies on Christmas eve, and is pulled around in a sleigh by reindeer and one with a red nose named Rudolf. Can these stories really be made up and taken all over the world and passed down with any interruption between generations.

I think we just all have to face it that somewhere out there there is a Santa, even if he doesn't get to every house with every present, he still will get there for those who do indeed believe. He will always be around you no matter how old you, in whey mall you go to, on every television special that plays in December, Santa will always be there.

So on that topic of Santa liking cookies, perhaps this video below can show you how much he does like cookies and is also in advertising, another point to say he is real.

The Reality of Reality TV

     Reality TV is one of those things that I have never really gotten in to. There have been a couple of shows like Jeopardy, America's next top model, or the Bachelor that I have watched, but never straight through from beginning to end. Even though I don't make it a habit to watch reality programming, I do still enjoy watching it.


      Some shows that are interesting to me would be American/ Canadian Idol, Jeopardy, and even Dancing with the Stars. I think the common trait between them that draws me in to occasionally watch them is the aspect of competition. When we watch these shows we can't help but pick a side, or even bet on someone winning, it helps us achieve competition with out raising the stakes in a life matter.


     Another show I enjoy very much is Wipeout. The competition to see who can wipeout as many times but still beat the clock. What I am sure draws people to this kind of programming, much like Survivor, is seeing people get hurt and have to fight to stay alive. Why people like seeing others be hurt, I don't know why? But all I can say is they do!
