"...When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things -- not the great occasions -- give off the greatest glow of happiness..." ~~ Bob Hope (May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003)English-born American comedian and actor on Broadway, in vaudeville, movies, television, and radio.
This year, Hanukkah begins on the evening of Sunday, December 22, 2019 and ends Monday, December 30, 2019.
Kwanza will begin on December 26 and will end on New Years Day, Monday, January 1, 2019.
Like many households during Christmas season, in the center of our table you will find all sorts of desserts --cookies, cakes, Italian pastries, etc.
During the 12 days before Christmas and the 8 lights days of Hanukkah have fun decorating, baking and partying with family and friends.
There are so many other traditions and cultural customs during this festive season. Week-long holiday, Kwanzaa is celebrated from December 26th through January 1st and symbolizes "fruits of the harvest." Held in the United States since 1966, Kwanzaa honors African heritage in African American culture. Kwanza was created by Maulana Karenga in 1965 and has seven core principles (Nguzo Saba). Traditions include baskets full of fruit and gift-giving.
Every once in a while during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I would bring that favorite, rich treat to my family table -- dark, decadent chocolate mousse.
Every once in a while, I would bring that favorite, rich treat -- dark, decadent chocolate mousse.
What makes mousse so unique is the light and airy texture from air bubbles.
Depending on preparation and mix intensity mousse variations range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick and can be sweet, bitter or savory. The great thing about this dessert is the prep time is only six minutes and then all you need do is refrigerate it for an hour.

Step 1 : Gelatin mixture (3 min) ► In a small bowl sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the cold water; let stand 1 minute ►Add the boiling water, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved.
Step 2 : Mousse (3 min) ► In a separate bowl combine the sugar, cocoa, whipping cream, and vanilla; stir to blend ► Beat on medium speed of electric mixer, scraping the bottom of the bowl a few times, until the mixture is stiff ► Add the gelatin mixture and beat until well blended.

"Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career …. If you think we screwed up the ending this year, wait until you see what we have planned for the 90th anniversary show! — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel), TV host, producer, writer, comedian, voice actor; December 5, 2016,On hosting The 90th Academy Awards (2018 Oscars) Photo of Jimmy Kimmel smiling from Wikipedia by photographer Andrea George created September 4,2012 during a ceremony for Ellen DeGeneres, receive star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Video below of Jimmy Kimmel catches 2016 Oscar host, Chris Rock after the 2016 Oscars.
Excerpts fromChris Rock's opening Monologue hosting the 77th (2005) Oscar Academy Awards. "...So ...Great night tonight. We have 4 black nominees...Kinda like the deaf Oscar jam tonight ... You know why I love the Oscars. Cause the Oscars are the only awards show where the people nominated don't really perform...There's no acting at the Oscars ...The only acting you see at the Oscars are when people act like they're not mad when they lost...Like I remember one year when Halle Berry won the Oscar Nicole Kidman was smiling so wide she shoulda' won an Emmy at the Oscars for her great performance ...See at least they make white movies for people to enjoy ... real movies with plots ...with actors not rappers ... with real names like "Catch Me If You Can," "Saving Private Ryan," ... black people movies don't have real names ... you get names like "Barbershop," that's not a name that's just a location ... "Barbershop," "Cookout," "CarWash," ... they've been making the same movies for 40 years. That's right you know laundromat is coming soon. And after that check-cashing place."~~ Chris Rock (Christopher Julius "Chris" Rock III)actor, comedian, voice artist, director, writer, and producer, excerpts from him while hosting the 2005 Oscar Awards (77th).
