Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays everyone. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or Quanza, I hope you have a great time! Christmas is coming up in a few days and I'm very excited. I like to wake up early in the morning and look in my stocking. Then I wait for everyone else to wake up before I open my presents. After a fun time playing with toys, we have a great Christmas feast. All of my family comes over to gobble up some delicious food. We have ham, salad, mashed potatoes, and of course cookies for dessert. 

On Hanukkah I love lighting the menorah and eating potatoe pancakes. There are 8 days of Hanukkah and each day you add a candle to the menorah. There are 8 days because that is how long the oil burned for during the war.

What are your Holiday traditions?

My Baseball Cards and An Amazing Story

I was inspired to do this post from Peter's Plentiful Postings. I have been collecting baseball cards for about 6 months and currently  have over 300 cards. I have some very special cards like Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, David Ortiz, Mike Trout, and many more. Some cards are recent and others are old. For example: Mike Trout is recent, and Lou Gehrig is old.

 Lou Gehrig was a player on the Yankees. One month during his playing career  he found out he had a deadly disease now known as the Lou Gehrig disease. Even though he could die any second he still showed up to the games and sat in the dugout with the team. He also gave speeches every game to the audience telling them that even though he was sick he will always support his team. Sadly on Monday June 2nd, 1948 he died. At the funeral they did not say any speeches, they all knew him too well.

Do You collect anything?

Do you know any historic facts on athletes?
