Holiday Happiness

The Holidays are out there, and upon us. Most of the things I like most about the holidays aren't on the internet, but you can still find some fun holiday stuff out there on the web.

During the holidays *Nsync's song "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" is playing on repeat in my head, take a listen. But, also check out my absolute favorite holiday song Merry Christmas Baby done by Otis Redding.


Also on the web are fun holiday websites. The most fun and interactive website I've seen for the holidays this year is Make-a-Flake where you can make your own snowflakes. Here's one I made:

Beautiful, I know.

Kids can head over to the North Pole to play fun games and learn about Christmas. Parents can find holiday recipes at Foodnetwork.com. Some Hanukkah recipes can be found there, including my favorite potato pancakes mmm.

The holidays are a time to celebrate and spend time with family, but you can get in the holiday spirit by checking out some of these websites, they are lots of fun!

1000 Websites

There are a lot of websites out there. Google published a list of the 1000 most popular websites on the internet. I think the list was made to help businesses decide where to put ads but its also interesting to look at. Google didn't include themselves on the list (I'm guessing they would have been first). Facebook came in at number one. People my age and younger use Facebook multiple times a day - and I'm guessing that people under 20 make up a large portion of internet users and make up those who use the internet the most - so that doesn't surprise me too much. One site I didn't recognize from the top 10 was baidu.com so I went to the site and it looked to me like an Chinese search engine. At number 10 is qq.com another Chinese website. Blogger.com the site used for this blog came in at number 52. One of my favorite websites hulu.com came in at number 246. I use hulu to watch TV shows like The Office, Glee, and Family Guy, it's a great site. You can also watch some full length movies as well as many other shows on the site. The last site on the list was moviefone.com at number 1000 a site I use sometimes to look up movie times. Overall, this list is pretty interesting to look at, I would check it out. If the list gets you motivated to make your own website, below I've added a simple video tutorial that I found on youtube of how to make your own website, it's a pretty simple process.

JELLO :)

Jello is out there. Currently my brain feels like jello so hence this post on the jiggly substance, but I actually can't remember the last time I ate it.

It's the famous gelatin dessert. You can play with it, mold it, eat it. It's really a fascinating substance. In colleges it is mostly seen in the form of a jello shot. It's usually spelled Jell-O as the kraft brand will tell you. And you know their chocolate pudding... is it really jello pudding or is it just pudding with the jell-o brand on it? Personally, I only like strawberry-flavored jello. In the 30s they even made gelled salads out of jello ...mm sounds tasty -_-

Read up on Jell-O or just look around at the cool edible sculptures made with jello: My favorite dinner in jello. Nastys in jello. Creative jello shot.
