Merry (late) Christmas!

-

 Yes, I know I'm late, but like most people, I was busy on Christmas. It definitely wasn't traditional, but it was fun. So today, I'm going to tell you some really interesting, (weird) facts about Christmas!

1. What color do you always picture Santa in? Red of course. But, apparently, that wasn't always the case. Santa actually used to wear green, blue, and purple. Coca-Cola wanted to advertise Santa in their colors though, and red just stuck.

2. I'm sure you've heard of Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph, but did you know that TWO of these guys were supposed to have different names? Yup, that's right. Donner and Blitzen were originally supposed to be Dunder and Blixem. Yes, I know, it's weird.

3. I'm sure you know that the holiday Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth if Jesus. But, did you know that Jesus wasn't born on Christmas? He might've actually been born in SPRING! Big difference. What would happen to White Christmas?

4. Everyone's heard of Jingle Bells. But did you know that Jingle Bells was originally meant to be a song for Thanksgiving? It was written by James Lord Pierpont. Who knew?

5. Did you know that mistletoe translates to "dung on a stick?" Yes, I know. It's the weirdest thing. Mistal comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for poop/dung and tan comes from stick. So, dungstick. How romantic.

I hope you enjoyed my completely weird fun facts about Christmas. 

Until next time, HO HO HO! - Savi

Let's start with.... BOOKS!

 SO, one thing that everyone should know is that I love reading and BOOKS! SO THESE ARE MY FAVORITE AUTHORS! They are amazing and I can never decide on just one favorite so here is my list! (These are in no particular order) 1. Jennifer A. Nielson. The main books that I've read from her are either historical fiction or fantasy, but either way, they're perfect. 2. Rick Riordan. OBVIOUSLY! Everyone should've suspected that he would be in here. Known for fantasy and.... well, the mythology of course. 3. Shannon Messenger. Alright. I have only read one book series from her and I don't know whether she has anymore, but I REALLY love Keeper of The Lost Cities (KOTLC). It's FANTASY and totally amazing! (I'm just adding this in here, I WON'T be including Harry Potter in here, even though it is a good series. I have just read it SO many times and I'm sure everyone knows about it.) 4. Chris Colfer. He's written a few fantasy series about fairytale worlds and t...

Welcome To My Blog!

  Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. I bet most of you are wondering about the name of this blog.  Well, I wasn't sure what to name it since it's about anything and everything. Dang it, that would've been a good name. Well, whatever. Anyway, I look up some comedy names and I found one that said "No Name Nessescary" and then I decided to name it *ERROR* Name Not Found.  Here you will find, erm, I'm not exactly sure yet, but it'll be awesome. I'll try to post at least once a week.  I have had other blogs, but my main problem is that I give up on things halfway through and I really want to change that here! Please help me by commenting and subscribing! Also, please tell me if I say something wrong in any of my posts and I will edit it as soon as possible! Signing off for now, Savi

Happy (Early) New Year!

In this post, I'm going to be giving you 5 fun facts about New Year's. Nope, that's boring and I already did that. I need some better stuff here. I had honestly NO IDEA what to write about for New Year's post. Then I remembered the main thing about New Year's. RESOLUTIONS. Here are some of my New Year Resolutions: 1. STOP PROCRASTINATING! (Yes I'm talking to you Savi.) I always leave stuff for the last second. If I'm not interested in something, most likely, it won't get done until the last minute. 2. I've wanted to learn some form of self-defense. One of my friends is a black belt, but I've never really had any training in that specific area. I've always been into fantasy and action stories, so one day, I was just like, "Why don't I try martial arts?" I never really got around to it, but maybe? 3. I want to get back to doing a sport. I did swimming before Covid, and I never really went back to it. I started volleyball in gym cl...
