Happy New Year From The Pops

As you know by now I love being in Massachusetts. I posted at Christmas some music from the Boston Pops, today I want to share New Year Music from them.  I hope you enjoy it and Happy New Year!

Fireworks from this past year.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

This year has been interesting to say the least. I appreciate all of you that follow me on my blog, Twitter and Facebook. I am grateful to those that have bought my books and reviewed them.  I am looking forward to a couple of new books coming out next year as well as the student guide for The Hidden Chamber In the Great Sphinx.

I wish you nothing but happiness for the holiday season.

Egypt has snow?

Yesterday on Facebook I reported that it had been snowing in Egypt. What makes this unreal is that it has not snowed there in 112 years! It is certainly an event of epic proportions there and around the world.

The snow shut down roads and businesses because it was not know what to do with such an event.

So, what do we have, global warming? Who knows!

 



Today I just wanted to share with you some of the photos from around the net I found. Enjoy them, I know I am!

The perfect gift...

Did you know that Christmas was once outlawed?

Did you know in the Massachusetts area that Christmas was once outlawed?

It was. 

Here was the law that was in effect for 22 years before it was overturned.

"For preventing disorders, arising in several places within this jurisdiction by reason of some still observing such festivals as were superstitiously kept in other communities, to the great dishonor of God and offense of others: it is therefore ordered by this court and the authority thereof that whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way, upon any such account as aforesaid, every such person so offending shall pay for every such offence five shilling as a fine to the county."

From the records of the General Court,

Massachusetts Bay Colony

May 11, 1659

What do you think about that? Tell me in comments.
