A poem by Norman Wesley Brooks: Christmas is forever, not for just one day, Loving, sharing, and giving, are not to be put away Like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is the good you do for yourself. Customs of Christmas in Other Areas 1. Philippines: In the Philippines, the city of San Fernando celebrates the Ligligan Parul (the festival of giant lanterns). It features dazzling parols that symbolize the Star of Bethlehem. Each parol consists of thousands of spinning lights that illuminate the night sky. This festival has made San Fernando the "Christmas Capital of the Philippines". 2. Sweden: The Yule Goat is a Swedish Christmas symbol dating back to ancient pagan festivals. In 1966, the tradition underwent a transition. Someone came up with the idea of making a giant straw goat, now referred to as the Gavle goat. According to the official website, the goat is more than 42 feet tall, 23 feet wide, and weighs 3.6 tons. Fans can livestream every year the construction of it on Sunday of Advent. 3. Finland: On Christmas morning, Finish families make a porridge of rice and milk topped with cinnamon, milk, or butter. Whoever finds the almond in the porridge wins. Of course, to please the kids some families make sure it comes into their plates and they aren't upset during the festive environment. 4. Barbados: A typical scene in Barbados is of a table with a baked ham decked up with pineapple and sorrel glazes, a rum cake, and Jug Jug, a dish inspired by the Scottish influence on the island combining of pigeon peas, corn flour, herbs, and salt meat. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 35

  35. T ceremony of chaos when the carbon atoms collided with each other in extreme conditions. As the pressure was about 50,000 times the pressure at the surface and the temperature exceeded 1600°C, the carbon atoms bonded with 4 others, and diamonds were formed. he huge bodies of water reflected the Metroid shower passing by. The eruptions resembled fancy fountains with red glitterous lava flowing into the sea. It seems like a party of chaos but the most beautiful one. As if nature was creating itself, forming mountains and sea, under the light of the newly formed moon. One more thing was created in this All of this, for a man (Charles Lewis Tiffany, 1812–1902) to put that diamond on a ring billions of years later and establish Tiffany & Co.—“the store of his dream.” He not only sold jewelry but gave the world something to dream about. He was selling a dream that would change the face of luxury and jewelry forever. This article is the breakdown of this very dream and the company sells it. TIFFANY & CO.

  36. Time Line of Tiffany & Co. Founded in 1838 by Charles Lewis Tiffany (1812–1902) and his partner, J. B Young, as Tiffany & Young, a “fancy goods” store on Broadway in New York.

  38. Products and Legacy: The Diamond King Charles Lewis Tiffany, a visionary entrepreneur driven by a profound passion for acquiring the most exceptional and rare gemstones, laid the foundation for luxury as we recognize it today. In 1837, he inaugurated Tiffany & Co. in New York City as a purveyor of fancy goods and stationery. Mr. Tiffany’s ground-breaking acquisition of jewels from French aristocrats during the 1840s marked a pivotal moment. He introduced major gemstones to the United States for the first time. This move reached widespread attention, and the press awarded Tiffany the illustrious title of “The Diamond Kings,” a distinction the House proudly upholds to this day. The Modern Engagement Ring The first Tiffany Setting, introduced in 1886, had a single diamond lifted above the ring by six platinum prongs. Melvyn Kirtley, the top gem expert at Tiffany, says, “These prongs lift the diamond off the ring and into the light.” Lifting the diamond off the finger and letting in as much light as possible makes it sparkle a lot. The Blue Box A hundred years later, Tiffany added the finishing touch to their famous packaging. A white satin ribbon on all their Blue Boxes. It’s carefully tied into a bow, and with a gentle pull, it opens up to show the amazing Tiffany item inside. The Blue Box is known all over as the most famous and wanted packaging globally. It is a tradition that goes back to the time our founder started the company. Legacy of Gemstones Tiffany has a fascinating history rooted in exploration and a love for rare gems, driven by the passion of its founder. Back in the day, Charles and his gem experts not only showed the world brand-new gemstones but also played a big role in making Tiffany & Co. a famous jeweler worldwide. One such gem introduced by Tiffany in 1968 is tanzanite, known for its beautiful blue color and named after Tanzania, where it comes from. Tiffany’s collection also boasts centuries- old favorites like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, all of top-notch quality. Symbol of Love Charles Tiffany was the first jeweler to make diamond rings a symbol of love. In 1886, he created the Tiffany Setting which became a world-famous engagement ring. For over 130 years, this ring has been a part of many incredible love stories. This innovation didn’t just make Tiffany & Co. a jewelry store, it turned it into a place known for classic designs, amazing craftsmanship, and celebrating love. | January 2024 42

  45. Easy to navigate, even easier to customize and optimize: I found Greenhouse very versatile. If you conduct high- volume recruitments, you can utilize templates and make copies of previous requisitions to streamline what could be a very administrative process. At the same time, Greenhouse has awesome features for creating a personalized candidate experience, and I've had candidates share that they love the DEIB features (voice pronunciation recording, pronouns, and more!). Greenhouse continues to implement new features that streamline existing manual processes I followed, I like the new 24-hour interview reminder! Great ATS System: I like how easy the greenhouse is to use. It allows me to easily manage my positions and candidates. I can set reminders to follow up with candidates and easily keep track of where candidates are in the interview process with the "Pipeline" tab on roles. Greenhouse also makes it easy to find and pull data for all different parts of the process from time in stage to pass- through rates. It allows you to build custom reports and save them making it easy to keep track of any data you may need. I would recommend Greenhouse to other companies as their ATS tool as it is something that has worked very well for myself and our recruiting team. • www.theenterpriseworld.com | 49
