Christmas Traditions

I have many Christmas traditions; one of them is going over to my grandparents’ house and decorating their house around my dad’s birthday. We always bake cookies and string lights on the tree and roof. On Christmas Eve, my family and I go over to my grandparents’ house and have dinner, open presents, and tell stories about my dad, uncle, and aunt.

On Christmas Day, my mom usually invites her side of the family over for a big lunch/dinner meal. (It is pretty hectic.) Before people arrive on Christmas day I have to do all of my chores and help with heating up 7+ dishes. (We cook some of the the food the night before.) We have so much food that it usually lasts us up to 5 days after we originally made it. (Nobody leaves our house hungry.) Around the holidays I look forward to seeing the relatives that I don't usually see and eating the delicious food. For Christmas I celebrate with both sides of my family.

Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is a way for people to share and store bookmarks on the internet and not on your computer so you can access them from anywhere that has Internet. I think that Social Bookmarking is useful to students and people that go between multiple computers because it allows them to go to any bookmark that they have saved without having to remember what the URL is. I will use Social Bookmarking in my school and personal life to help me with projects, homework, assignments, and websites that I frequently use.

RSS

RSS feeds are ways to stay up-to-date on new posts on your favorite blogs. This tool is most useful to people that follow many blogs and that want to save time. I think this tool is useful to me because I can see every web site that has an RSS subscription symbol.

Technology and Me...

I use technology for homework, games, and TV. I use my laptop everyday for homework, but I use it for entertainment with my iPod when I am bored. I used to play Wii games, but it broke. Honestly, I am only dependent on technology when it comes to the electronics that I use on a daily basis. I love technology because it makes life easier.
