Best and Worst of Christmas
Christmas is a much awaited time of the year. It is coupled with holidays, winters, shopping, food and a lot of festivity. Christmas is a time to remember and look forward to.
The Best of Christmas
The Excitement
We all get excited around Christmas. The anticipation of the unforeseen is certainly the crunchiest thing about Christmas. The waiting for gifts and looking forward to the joy of family get-togethers is one of the greatest things about Christmas.
Gifts
Everyone loves to get presents. Christmas presents are fun to shop for and even greater fun to get. A nice surprise always adds up to the great memories.
Shopping
Shopping before Christmas is one of the few times when you can get great deals of most of the commodities. It gets even better at Boxing Day. People save up money to do tons of shopping around Christmas.
Family Time
All around the year, people are busy and don't have time to have family meetings and get-togethers. But the Christmas holidays allow people to catch up with their families and have a nice family time.
The Worst of Christmas
Crowded Malls
Christmas season is the season of shopping with dramatic reductions and huge sales. You would see the shopping malls and stores flooded with shoppers. It is very annoying when all you need is a few cans of soda and you have to fight through all the insanity of shopping.
Missing Friends
Christmas is strictly thought to be the family time. You see distant relatives as well. This could get on nerves for some people who can function without friends. A few days without meeting the friends could be unbearable.
Extreme Cold
When we think on Christmas, the thought of having snow all around is most natural. Christmas season is incomplete without snow but it could be extremely annoying as well. Imagine being locked inside the house because of snowfall or dangerous slippery roads.
Travelling
Many people need to travel and leave their base to get together with the family on the Christmas. Travelling around Christmas is a nightmare as you would need to see never ending queues and over crowded airports and other modes of transport.
With all the sweetness and spice, we surely love Christmas.

Answering: How Can I Enhance My Creativity?
Each hemisphere of human brain performs different functions and one of which is dominant over the other. Left half of the brain formulates solution in a systematic, logical way following the step-by-step fashion whereas, the other half processes information in all-at-once manner and it works in an unstructured, unsystematic and illogical way. This right-brain driven thinking is the secret behind creative thinking. Contribution of these two halves of the brain towards the solution of a problem determines the level of creativity in someone. One can easily enhance his creativity by following the techniques given below.
- Do not be so hard on yourself and take some time off to relax because the more you think over a problem the sooner your brain shuts down and stops producing creative and innovative solutions. If you fail to produce fruitful results even after investing a great deal of your time in the problem, simply take a break go out for a walk. But NEVER let the thought of 'giving up' cross your mind.
- Say goodbye to your humdrum routine and start exploring new places, read something new and different choose a genre that you have never read before, meet new people, talk to them. Gathering different perspectives helps you to analyze a problem from different angles in an efficient way.
- At a very early age we learn to do things in the conventional way how they are being done for years, we are told that there is only one right answer to a problem and we start looking for it in a systematic way by shutting down the activity of the very part of the brain that controls our creative thinking. Allow yourself to be impractical, ask yourself questions like 'What if I do this the other way and see what happens. Break, bend or design a few rules of your own.
- Keep track of the ideas that you come up with. Attack a problem from every possible aspect and see if you were able to produce something useful and note down every idea that you get in a journal.
These are some of the many techniques on how to enhance your creativity. We hope you found this article useful.

Some Famous Stereotypes of 21st Century
Stereotype is a conventional or formulaic conception or image of a group of people or some ideas. Many stereotypes exist in the world, most of them could seem true if a certain community on the whole is viewed, but we could see most stereotypes fail if they are applied on individuals. Some of the famous stereotypes are mentioned below.
The Fat Americans
America is the hub of fast food. And this eating trend has caused a lot of obesity among the people. Americans are stereotyped as fat and oversized. Of course, you would witness a lot of fat guys in America, but it doesn't mean that all the Americans are oversized people.
The Black guys
Black people or African Americans are seen as bad, aggressive and disloyal. This owes to the fact that they are often portrayed as thugs in Hollywood. Well, you cant say that all the black guys are bad or villains.
The Muslim Terrorists
Over the past few decades, the world has started to believe that Islam is a violent religion and it preached war and bloodshed. Most notorious terrorists have been Muslims in the past decades too. But not every Muslim is a terrorist; in fact they want and love peace as any other person in the world.
Smart Asians
Asians have paced nicely in science and technology. In the west, they are seen as genius at science and mathematics. They Asians who make it to the prestigious American universities are no doubt great minds, but they are geniuses, that is why they make it to the great institutions. Back home, you'd find average Asians and dumb Asians as well.
The Dumb Blond
It is a very famous, mostly untrue stereotype that blondes are dumb. The other way to put it is that blonde women tend to put their beauty and sexuality to use rather than using their minds. This idea even made some people to believe that the women with light hair color are less intelligent than the dark haired women. No such theory has been proved so far. The most famous example of this false stereotype is the American sex symbol Marylin Monroe.
