Today in History
Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual Christian holiday commemorating the
birth of Jesus Christ. It is celebrated on December 25, but this date is not
known to be Jesus' actual birthday, and may have initially been chosen to
correspond with either the day exactly nine months after some early
Christians believed Jesus had been conceived, a historical Roman festival,
or the date of the northern hemisphere's winter solstice. Christmas is
central to the Christmas and holiday season, and in Christianity marks the
beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.
Although traditionally a Christian holiday, Christmas is also widely
celebrated by many non-Christians, and some of its popular celebratory
customs have pre-Christian or secular themes and origins. Popular modern
customs of the holiday include gift-giving, music, an exchange of greeting
cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various
decorations; including Christmas trees, lights, garlands, mistletoe,
nativity scenes, and holly. In addition, Father Christmas (known as Santa
Claus in some areas, including North America, Australia and Ireland) is a
popular mythological figure in many countries, associated with the bringing
of gifts for children. Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the
Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among both
Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has become a significant event
and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of
Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in
many regions of the world.

Cynthia Miller - Graphic Designer
Referred by Jens List member - jak2 at verizon.net 
"She helped to create my company's logo, business card, sales sheet and
landing page and she did it all on time, on budget and with aplomb.  She was
great to work with.  She listened to what I wanted, did everything in a
timely manner and understood that I was just starting out and was therefore
very budget conscious.  She has an amazing eye, is very collaborative and is
able to take your ideas and realize them on paper. I could not be happier
with the end result and would highly recommend her to anyone.  Please feel
free to contact me off-line at if you have any questions or would like to
see the work she did for me.  Otherwise contact her directly at 310 780 3451
or
