"Life is a love affair, it is poetry and it is music. Don't ask the ugly question like, what is the purpose? Life can't be bridged with philosophical questions."

Well that's what you should be doing this Holiday Season. Just grab an eggnog or a mug of warm cappucinno and rest back to gather some thoughts of the year that's drawing to a close soon enough. What better way to create the right ambiance but some music to go along.

 Going by the tradition of Christmas, most of us would be at the midnight mass or going places singing the age old carols. But how many of us know the behind-the-scenes stories of some of the songs that we all know and sing every year, come Christmas.

The holiday season is in full swing. While Thanksgiving just passed, living upto the Christmas spirit is going to take a lot of effort this time around. Come January 2013, when the world will wake up to a new dawn with smiles and new dreams, American economy will be all set for a showdown with the FISCAL CLIFF.

We aren't exactly visualising scenes from the blockbuster flick Armageddon here but the subtle patterns are hard to miss. Now figure this.

The scene of action is The United States of America; as always! A bunch of know-it-alls in starched pinstripe suits deliberate the future of the Earth. They'r just the talkers. Oops! "Policy Makers" that's what they are called, to use some correct political jargon! However, the real movers are a crack team of oil drillers hired by the top brass to save the Earth.

Well the plot seems fit for the silver screen and we'll let it be just there. What the American businesses can't afford right now is to rely on such Harry Stamper's and A.J's to burst into a last minute rescue.

"Deadlines! Balance-sheets! Turnover! Incentives!"

Are you one of those entrepreneurs being chased by such haunting words always? It isn't a happy-go-lucky situation being married to your work 24/7.  Working to improve one's enterprise is an important task no doubt, but what most businessmen forget is to take a breather once in a while.

As the year is drawing to an end, it is a time for businesses to look back at how they fared. If you are one of those small time businesses who still believe in keeping up your spirits high despite an average performance, a little motivation is just what the doctor ordered for you.

If you're reading this, then thank God that you survived the big Thanksgiving feast and now that you're done with all the eating it's time to shop because it's Black Friday again!

Black Friday is the day just after Thanksgiving in the US and marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

One and the only day in the year when you get tempting deals and discounts on different products, get to shop till you drop and buy things that you don't even need but who cares when you are the first one to grab it in the store among all the other shoppers there.

It's that time of the year again, when all we do is eat, drink, watch football, shop and enjoy the Macy's Day Parade. A day to be thankful to God for what we have and celebrate with friends and family.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, not because I can eat and shop as much as I can but because the whole family comes together this one day, helping each other preparing for the big Thanksgiving feast.

You just need to call in everyone and plan your day. I got all my Thanksgiving plans up and working; sleeping till late morning, making cocktails, decorating the dinning place while my mum is busy cooking and after the dinner is over doing the dishes with my brother. That's my Thanksgiving plan!
