Do you remember when neighbors helped each other out with gifts and holiday greetings?
During the US Depression, many Americans were forced to go on home relief, aka welfare.
It's been said that back in 1935, just before the holidays, families were dejected and depressed, but friends and families were there ready to support.
When food was running low and the rent was overdue, folks were afraid because many people were being put out on the street with all their belongings.
For those who missed it, earthlings saw the brightest moon the world has seen in seven decades, which light up the sky. "Supermoon" reached its most luminescent phase in North America before dawn.
#Supermoon shines 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than normal moons. But if you wish to know more, or just missed it...

Following an American election where one candidate won the popular, but the winner won the Electoral Colege votes necessary for appointment. No matter what anyone says...
May God Bless The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This land is your land...
PLEASE... Do not allow a collective shock, or fear turns into shame or tears.
Remember the voter turnout will be progressively historic over the years.
As Americans we must resolve to remain united by our language, culture, national origin, status, as well as by race, religion, gender, preference, political affiliation and so much more...etc.
US voters in several states and municipalities showed strong support for eliminating big money from politics and empowering the people. Here are some links for your information.

Following a long political primary and a toxic Camp Pain that has left our nation divided, Republican Donald Trump won the Electoral College after hurling vicious attacks against his opponents and too many others to mention. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitt…
His main opponent Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but she lost the election because of the Electoral College. Our Founding Fathers may not have realized how undemocratic our Electoral College has evolved.
US Veterans Day is a public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors our military heroes. I spoke with one of my favorite veterans today who has proudly served in the United States Armed Forces. I thanked him for his service and also wish I could personally thank them all, including my late brother.
Have you earned a college degree? What do you know about The Electoral College? This college has no campus, no tuition, and definitely has no dorms.
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
The man who has been attacking two-term President Obama vociferously and as long as anyone can recall is now expected to visit The White House.
How will The President welcome his successor? He called him unfit to serve as commander in chief. The Donald led the toxic birther charge challenging the legitimacy of Obama's presidency.
He is there to speak with US President Barack Obama about the transition plans. The President has instructed his staff to work toward a smooth transition, just as President George W. Bush and his team did for them eight years ago.
One of my dear family members asked for my comments, Following this divisive election and after watching the media coverage, I will share the following...
It must be difficult to be a parent of young and impressionable kids during these difficult times. Like me, most of us are parents to adults, but some have been blessed with young grandkids.
We've taught our children ‘Don’t be a bully.’ Don’t be a bigot.’ ‘Study, be prepared.’ Respect your elders, the handicapped, and so many others... etc.
