"My branches are gone," said the tree.

"I am sorry," sighed the tree.
"I wish that I could g

Le Poisson d’Avril—April Fools’ Day
Though the origin of April Fools’ Day is still a mystery—no kidding!—it is thought that this holiday began in France. In 1582, France decided to switch from the Julian calendar (which began its new year every April 1st) to the Gregorian calendar which celebrated the new year on January 1st. Those who did not get the memo became the brunt of many a joke, including having paper fish placed on their backs. The “poisson d’Avril” became a symbol of a very gullible person. The Bask

The Beat About Baskets and Bunnies
Have you ever wondered about the traditions behind Easter? From pagans to Christians, to the children of today, the ritual of giving gifts during Easter has been around since ancient times. Easter is celebrated in the spring and symbolizes fertility and birth. When pagans prayed for a healthy harvest, they called upon their goddess Eostre for good fortune. Over time, images of Eostre emerged—always including a woven basket in her arms. For Christians, Easter is a

And The Winner Is…
This year’s Academy Awards were humming along until Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper walked up the stage, hand-in-hand, and knocked out a performance of ‘Shallow’ that made us all long for the excitement of something new and beautiful. While you sit and YouTube the performance—and reflect upon the famous duo’s breathless gaze into one another’s eyes—think about sending someone an unexpected gift of something that is just as exciting.

The Legend of the Leprechaun and His Pot of Gold
Leprechauns are mischievous little men that have been spotted around the mountains of Ireland since 700A.D. The name leprechaun originates from the old Irish word luchorpán, meaning small body.
