So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

By Preethi Shankar


Pop singer and dancer Nicole Scherzinger was born Nicole Elikolani Prescovia Scherzinger on June 29, 1978, in Honolulu, HI, but was raised mostly in Louisville, KY, moving there at age six with her mom after her parents separated. Scherzinger (who is of Hawaiian, Russian, and Filipino descent) went to a performing arts high school and, following graduation, enrolled at Wright State University in Dayton, OH. Majoring in theater arts and dance, she eventually put college on hold to pursue music, initially serving as a backing vocalist for the late-'90s rock group Days of the New.

In a very short time Nicole gained a lot of experience and she worked with a lot of important and famous people. She worked with many famous names from the musical world and after that she entered in the famous band named "Pussycat Dolls" and she became very famous because with the girls she released a lot of songs which became hits. A lot of people appreciated the band and the girl gained many fans all over the world because they were very talented and their songs very good.

From 2006 until late 2008 Scherzinger had been working on her debut album which was titled Her Name Is Nicole. She recorded and wrote about 75-100 songs for the album which was supposed to be released in 2007 before being pushed to October 16, 2008 and later into 2009. "Whatever U Like" (featuring T.I.) which was released as the album's lead single on July 24, 2007 but deemed unsuccessful reaching just 57 in Canada. "Baby Love" was the second single released on September 10, 2007, but the track didn't chart well in the United States.

"Baby Love" was the second single released on September 10, 2007, but the track didn't chart well in the United States. Internationally the single fared well reaching Top 15 in most countries including the UK, and mainland Europe. The third single, "Supervillain", and the fourth single, "Puakenikeni" (a type of flower in Hawaii), was released iTunes in November, but failed to chart. In 2009 the album was officially cancelled and shelved.

In 2010 Nicole continue pursuing her solo career and release her debut studio album, Killer Love, on March 18, 2011 through Interscope Records. Killer Love was preceded by the release of the Red One-produced lead single, "Poison" which was quite successful in international territories. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it respectively peaked at number three and number seven becoming one of Scherzinger's best charting solo singles. It received mainly positive critical reception. It was followed by second single, "Don't Hold Your Breath" in March 2011, which debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart. Now Nicole is back to her pop life. Nicole Scherzinger will begin to focus on her US fans and is currently preparing her US edition of her album 'Killer Love' and the singer said that she will be revisiting her roots, and give it an "urban" edge. The former Pussycat Dolls singer is planning on adding four or five new songs to the album ahead of its release in the US this summer, including her track with 50 Cent, 'Right There'.

Nicole was once engaged to the lead singer of 311, Nick Hexum, and was the inspiration for the song Amber. She is dating Talan Torriero from reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. Recently, when she was asked about her marriage, she told her fans: "The guy who marries me is going to be with me forever because I am very traditional." "There's no rush. I just want to make sure it is the right time for everything. And I'm really married to my work. It takes up all of my time." The work Nicole is talking about is the latest projects of her including competing on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Nicole Scherzinger finds being a solo artist more relaxing, though she admits she felt like the "queen" of former group Pussycat Dolls.
