All a Merry Christmas! Someone has already celebrated, someone just starting (Catholic vs Orthodox) is a private matter. I suggest a few facts about Christmas and related events.
In the days of early Christianity, Christmas is not celebrated as a great event. the first mention of Christmas as the holiday applies to 200 AD, when the theologians of Alexandria decided that Christmas should be celebrated on May 20. In the 4 th century AD the Roman church attempted to unify the celebrations in various groups and creeds. Having decided to celebrate Christmas on December 25. This date was not chosen by chance - among the pagan cults, which were then distributed, on December 25 was celebrated as the birthday of the Sun. Saint Cyprian later said - "How wonderfully God has ordered that the birth of Christ occurred on the birthday of the Sun."

Styrofoam is a trademark of Dow Chemical Company for extruded polystyrene foam presently made for thermal insulation and craft applications.
In 1941, researchers in Dow’s Chemical Physics Lab found a way to make foamed polystyrene. Led by Ray McIntire, they had “rediscovered” a method first discovered by Swedish inventor Carl Georg Munters.[2] Dow acquired exclusive rights to use Munter’s patents and found ways to make large quantities of extruded polystyrene as a closed cell foam that resists moisture. Because of its insulating properties and buoyancy, it was adopted in 1942 by the U.S. Coast Guard for use in a six-person life raft. Styrofoam can be used for building materials, including insulated sheathing, pipe insulation and floral and craft products. Styrofoam insulation has been used in many notable buildings and facilities in North America. The Dow insulation product can be identified by its distinctive blue color; Styrofoam for craft applications is available in white and green.Styrofoam can be used under roads and other structures to prevent soil disturbances due to freezing and thawing.

The 10 Greatest Fantasy Series of All Time
by Pictures Portal | Sunday, January 02, 2011 in Amazing, Fairy Tales, Interesting, Movies |
Fantasy as a genre is often unfairly maligned. While there are plenty of authors who seem to be paid by the word and are only concerned with churning out volume, there are many authors producing fantastic works that transcend genre and often are even worthy of the word literature. While there were many worthy contenders, here are what we consider to be the 10 greatest fantasy series of all time.
10. The Wheel Of Time by Robert Jordan
I could probably write several pages on what's wrong with The Wheel of Time (Jordan never could write female characters, the quality fell off a cliff after book four, the series should have ended many, many books ago, etc., etc.), but the positives of the series greatly outweigh the negatives. The Wheel of Time was made for those who like their fantasy writ large, and The Wheel of Time fulfills that desire epicly. You won't find a more in depth work (which has it's downsides as well, every new book release begs for a rereading of the incredibly long series since it's nearly impossible to keep track of every minor character) and Jordan clearly takes as much pleasure in world building as any fantasy author since Tolkien. As previously mentioned, WoT has a huge cast, a fully realized world with dozens of races and nations, and a huge tapestry of plot lines that combine to form one of the greatest fantasy series of all time. It's a shame that Jordan didn't live to complete it, but hopefully Brandon Sanderson will bring the series to a satisfying conclusion.
