Romance runs high during the holidays

Romance runs high during the holidays

Dating during the holidays -- what's so great about it?

If not just the joy of the holiday season, there are certainly other things to think about. There is a certain feel in the air during this season that is felt at no other time of the year.

"Dating during the holidays is more romantic than any other dating," said Bailey Maxfield, a Fremont High sophomore. "It's fun, and just more romantic."

New 'Twilight' an annoying cliffhanger

The long-awaited fourth installment to the five-movie and four-book series "The Twilight Saga" has finally arrived.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1" was as enjoyable as any of the other "Twilight" movies, if you are a fan. However, some viewers may get bored during the first half of this latest episode. This movie covers the first half of the book "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer. The book was split into two movies -- in "Harry Potter" fashion -- due to its length and the director's desire to preserve some of its smaller details.

The new movie follows once again the romance between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a vampire, and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), a human. In the previous book, "Eclipse," Edward asked Bella to marry him, which is where this film begins. Their wedding is a beautiful outdoor ceremony, followed by an exotic honeymoon to a private island off the coast of Brazil.
