Hello Harlem! I hope you, your family and friends all enjoyed a very happy new year. For many of us, the celebration of the new year includes making resolutions for the upcoming year. This tradition stretches back over 4,000 years when the ancient Babylonians made promises for the upcoming year to their gods for health, a good harvest and peaceful times. Through the centuries, these resolutions often had a religious significance. New year’s resolutions today are a mostly secular practice. Instead of making promises to the gods, most people make...

Hello Harlem! It’s going to be a cold Thanksgiving in Harlem this year – a blustery wind blowing and possibly some of the white stuff covering the ground. Nevertheless, I am sure it will be very warm in our homes as families and friends gather to give thanks and enjoy some great food and fellowship. I am usually pretty busy on Thanksgiving morning – getting the big meal ready and doing some housecleaning before the guests arrive for dinner (thank God for football afterwards). However, I always take a few moments in-between to think about the p...
Hello Harlem! Winter is in the air and the first snowflakes swirled around in the cold wind last week. It is the time of year when we move most of our activities indoors – time to watch some football games on television and make some hearty autumn soups to enjoy. How do you spend your indoor time? Card games with friends, board games and puzzles with the kids? Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It is a time for all of us to slow down and reflect on all of the blessings we have received. Yes, we all endure hardships from time to time ...

It’s almost Halloween here in Harlem – a time for ghosts, jack-o-lanterns and lots of candy. But where did Halloween come from? Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. The church incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain into All Saints Day. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve...
