Is Holiday Nostalgia Good for You?

    When we live without family, we will miss them further. This year I came to America for 9 months. Whenever I meet a big holiday, I always think what they are doing now. I want to celebrate with my dearest family. I have learned to cherish them this time. I will be a good daughter and sister when I come back.

    It is not bad when you have strong nostalgia. Although it is hard when you miss them so much, you will improve your attitude being better to them. It means you are growing. I hope I can grow up when I come back to Taiwan!

Why We Feel Nostalgic During the Holidays

    Nostalgia is a kind of homesickness. I have nostalgia a lot when I come to America. I miss my country very much. It is not a good feeling. When I meet a big festival, I was thinking of my family. This is my first time away from home for 9 months. It's a long time. I really miss them.  I want to go back to Taiwan now!!!!

"Christmas Story" still a hit with cable viewers

    After "A Christmas Story" movie, it attracts lots of people. Christmas becomes very popular in the USA. Many youngster in 1940s Indiana were revolved by the story. They all want a BB gun for Christmas although it is dangerous.

    After reading the article, we can see how media influences the society. It becomes popular very soon by media. We still can get many information by media.

A Christmas Story (1983)

   After reading the article, I cannot wait to see this movie. It looks interesting. A child of the movie gets lots of problem. He wants a BB gun as a Christmas gift.

    I like Christmas very much. Every children imagine Santa Clause will  come to their home by climbing the roof and put the gift into Christmas Sock during children are falling asleep. How a cute story! It is a fake story, but some parents will still pretend they are Santa Clauses and give their children gifts.

    This year I can celebrate Christmas in the USA. Will I see lots of Santa Clauses on the street? Maybe it will be very different as Taiwan!!!

Real-life Groundhog Days studied

    This article was talking about the deja vu. It is a faulty memory. It's an illusion that you thought you have experienced but you don't actually. It could cause problems.



    Everyone has deja vu. It depends on personality.  It is easy to get deja vu. Like if you hurt your head or get some chronic pain. It is amazing sometimes.



    Don't be worry about it. It is not a big deal. Just renew your memory and remember everything.

Groundhog Almighty

    This article was talking about how different religion think about Groundhog Day. In this movie, Phil lived the same day in a time circle, just like he lived in a samsara. It's from buddhist. He was tired of living in the same day. He always knew what would happen in that day. He could do everything he wanted. He had tried to suiside for many times but it never success. He still lived on February 2 the next day.

    If I were Phil and I always lived in the same day, I would get very crazy. I cannot enjoy the rest of my life. I don't want to live in the same day although I can do anything I want. It is boring. Only you know what is happened. People don't believe you. You will feel hopeless because you cannot escape this circle.

    I enjoy the movie very much. It is really funny!
