The traditional standards like Chutes and Ladders or Candyland might sound like they are just for kids, but they are a fantastic way to bring out the holiday spirit. If old is new and retro is in vogue, there is no better way to say happy holidays than with a traditional game. Holiday games are fun and can bring out the lighter side in everybody. No need for a handheld or 4G application. Just grab a seat, have a snack and transform the guest back to the time when your only worry was who would get to candyland first or if you would land on a chute and slip away. Board games, reading stories, role playing and dinner games all come together to make a creative holiday environment. How about some background music to go with those games.
Holiday music does not have to be mundane and bland background sounds that just permeate the air. Make it work for you. Using silver bells for decorations? How about a cool upbeat version of Sliver Bells to really make those bells ring a ding? Get creative and find a few nice soft tone hand held bells you can ring. Set them in strategic places. Put one in the middle of the candy dish, and then add another next to the guardian angel on the top of the entertainment center. The sky’s the limit.
Download and edit your own holiday music library or have one of your tech elves do it all for you. Just tell them what you want. They will have a chance to learn about some traditional stuff and add the new and evolving sounds and beats that are sure to please the most discriminating ears in the bunch.
Natural background sounds are awesome and soothing and work well into the overall theme. Remember this is the holiday so you want people to relax and enjoy their visit to your home. Start the dinner game with a question. For instance ask for the name of the ‘ten most performed’ Christmas songs since 1950. Take it to the next level and ask when the earliest was recorded. You really do not need to search

Childhood
Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was the fourth child of Ondrej Warhola and Ulja, whose first child was born in their homeland and died before their migration to the U.S. His parents were working-class immigrants from Mik (now called Mikov), in northeastern Slovakia, then part of Austro-Hungarian Empire. Warhol’s father immigrated to the US in 1914, and his mother joined him in 1921, after the death of Andy Warhol’s grandparents. Warhol’s father worked in a coal mine. The family lived at 55 Beelen Street and later at 3252 Dawson Street in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The family was Byzantine Catholic and attended St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church. Andy Warhol had two older brothers, Jn and Pavol, who were born in today’s Slovakia. Pavol’s son, James Warhola, became a successful children’s book illustrator.
In third grade, Warhol had chorea, a nervous system disease that causes involuntary movements of the extremities, which is believed to be a complication of scarlet fever and causes skin pigmentation blotchiness. He became a hypochondriac, developing a fear of hospitals and doctors. Often bed-ridden as a child, he became an outcast among his school-mates and bonded strongly with his mother. At times when he was confined to bed, he drew, listened to the radio and collected pictures of movie stars around his bed. Warhol later described this period as very important in the development of his personality, skill-set and preferences.
Early career
Warhol showed early artistic talent and studied commercial art at the School of Fine Arts at Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (now Carnegie Mellon University). In 1949, he moved to New York City and began a successful career in magazine illustration and advertising. During the 1950s, he gained fame for his whimsical ink drawings

He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the American state of Iowa), near Le Claire. He was one of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, and mostly famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872.

Nickname and work life
William Frederick Cody (“Buffalo Bill”) got his nickname after he undertook a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat. The nickname originally referred to Bill Comstock. Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,860 American Bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eight months (186768). He and Comstock eventually competed in a shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name, which Cody won.
In addition to his documented service as a soldier during the Civil War and as Chief of Scouts for the Third Cavalry during the Plains Wars, Cody claimed to have worked many jobs, including as a trapper, bullwhacker, “Fifty-Niner” in Colorado, a Pony Express rider in 1860, wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, and even a hotel manager, but it’s unclear which claims were factual and which were fabricated for purposes of publicity. He became world famous for his
