Just a few more hours to hit the New Year's eve. That means just a few hours for the dark sky to get adorned with glorious sparkles of New Year fireworks. It's time to share friendship and love with all you know on this Earth. And it's not all that a big deal to reach out to your friends and dear ones with all the millions of New Year wishes and special thoughts this New Year in this era of technology. Just a few key strokes and you can spread the fragrance of your presence around your loved once and bridge the greatest distance.
Here's a list of what I got and what I lost through out the year 2007.
All I wanted in 2007 was global peace and the scaled up spirit of friendship world wide. These are probably a couple of things that have always been experiencing a high demand all through the world. I feel it's something like trying to attain the unattainable. So lets' forget it and talk about what actually the year 2007 offered me.
I won the first prize at a local Recipe contest held at Miami in January. Yes, it's truly a memorable episode of my life because a lot of people came to know that I'm not only a great foodie but a good cook too.
I still remember February 15th, when my two Hispanic friends Juan and Pablo re-visited Miami and we had a real blast celebrating the Burger Lovers Day. We started of with special brew burger and ended up with yummy cheese burger.
I wont forget April 18th, when Rex and I had a great time at South Beach, Miami. Guess what! It was the International Guide Dog Day and lots of other dogs were there with their owners. Good news was that Rex found his first soul mate there.
May 28th 2007 -- Memorial Day was a special day for me because my mom and dad had visited Miami and after a long span of time. It was over half a decade that I got to meet my darling mom and dearest dad.
October 31st -- Halloween was again special for me. I entered the Halloween Costume contest and really became famous as Young Dr. Darkness.
November 22 -- Thanksgiving 2007 was extra special for me and my gang as we had a perfect blast on the day with lots of yummy food and special turkey recipes. Although we missed Juan and Pablo quite a lot on Thanksgiving 2007, but it was a memorable feast indeed.
December 25th -- Christmas 2007 was again a great time for me. My friends and I partied for a the whole night. We really rocked.
So 2007 was pretty good for me, but the case wasn't the same for many around me. I want to wish everyone I know on this earth a fun filled New Year's eve. I pray to my Lord to bestow His blessing on our Earth and make it a better place to live in.

Christmas Charity For Christmas Child
Friends! How's it going? World has adorned itself with new shades and I'm sure you've started getting the kitchen smell. Jingle is all the way in the air and fragrance of the Christmas flowers is making us sink deeper into the spirit of Christmas.
BUT...
Have you ever thought of those poor children? I'm talking about those unfortunate children who don't have any Christmas. Santa Claus usually forget to reach out to them with toys. To be very candid, I didn't spare a thought on these poor kids until yesterday when I found a pale little kid standing in front of a gift mall, peeping through the glass door. Christmas should be a happy time for all, but a pity that it's not always the case. Here are the five very popular Christmas Charity projects, all with a common goal -- putting smile on their faces on Christmas. The true spirit of Christmas lies in loving each other, caring for the unfortunate children and making the world a happier place to live in.

How To Find A Romantic Date On Christmas Eve
Dave tends to hibernate during the winter every year. He's at the greatest loss, since he's among those unfortunate guys who doesn't get the true essence of festive even though they get enough opportunities. Christmas eve is not for these guys.
The fact is that this is the best time of the year to meet new people, make new friends and embark on new relationships. Chances are you are going to be invited to a lot of Christmas parties. If you are single, the Christmas parties and New year parties are the best places to find the most lovable and romantic dates. And, believe me, picking the best out of the lot is not a big deal. Because moods are festive and hearts are filled with the joyful spirit of Christmas. If you are heading out to a Christmas party and are excited about picking up someone, all you need to remember are some simple tips.
Don't try to impress him or her: It doesn't really work if you try to impress him or her. Let him or her notice you . Stop trying impress him or her -- trying to impress him or her doesn't actually impress him or her. The secret is just to act normal, without trying hard to say things that will impress him or her. The bottom line is that trying to impress an opposite sex actually have a negative effect.
Don't asking too many questions: It's quite normal that you will have so many questions swirling in your head. Ask only a few of them -- the selective ones and listen to his or her answers curiously. Remember, curiosity is one of those positive attributes that would engage your speaker and make him or her speak out some more facts.
Build Trust: Why did you come to the party? Obviously because you know many of them in the party floor who are your friends. Chances are your mate may know some of them whom you know in the common room. You can help him or her to build up a trust.
Start a Conversation: The general theory of networking is that you should approach someone who's not having a friend in the common room or may be his or her acquaintances are busy with something else. Approach him or her with smile. Join him or her and start a conversation. Nice, if you start start off a conversation about the food.
I don't find it's hard to break the ice -- especially when the spirit of festive is at the fullest swing. Isn't that a good idea to freak out to a party, embark on an exciting kinship and share your innermost thoughts with a loving one this Christmas? At least much better than hibernating during the festive, when the world gets adorned with most vibrant shades.

But it may also turn out to be really dangerous if Christmas safety tips are not followed.
Here are the Christmas trees safety tips and Christmas light Safety tips
- Each year about 400 incidences of residential fire involve Christmas trees, resulting in havoc loss. The dried up trees are quite dangerous and should be avoided. while buying the real Christmas trees make sure that the needles of the pines are green and do not break when folded.
- Stand your Christmas tree away from fireplaces.

- When you are selecting the lights and extension cords make sure the product comes from an well known manufacturer.
- Avoid using any items outdoor unless it's designed for external use. Remember that cords, wires, plugs etc.for the exterior use are not designed in the same way as for the interior purposes. Usually the exterior extension cords have three-pronged male plugs to avoid having a short circuit.
- Usually for exterior light sets that are found today have built-in fuse that is connected in the plug. These are undoubtedly better than the ones that don't have built-in fuse.
