Christmas Tradition: $anta $ack Treasure Hunt by @liftslikealady

When my husband was a wee lad, his Granddaddy would put together brown grocery sacks and fill them with penny candies, fruits and nuts. Granddaddy did this for all the grandkids, which was about 10 kids. He also did this for his own adult children, their wives, and his own wife as well. The exciting thing about this was that they weren't just sacks of nuts, fruits and candies. He had taken the time to hide money inside random pieces in everyone's bags. You had to open everything up to find the money. It was like a real life treasure hunt.

Golden Temple And The City Of Amritsar by @preets

Amritsar, this city was founded by Fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Sri Ramdas Sahib ji. The city was originally known as Ramdaspur, later it came to be known as Amritsar...Golden Temple is the most important spiritual site of Sikhism. It is also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib (the abode of God). The pool and the temple complex was completed by Sri Guru Ramdas ji in 1577. This Gurudwara was attacked and destroyed by various Muslims empires. Maharaja Ranjit Singh rebuilt it in Marble and Copper in 1809 and overlaid the central sanctum with Gold foil in 1830. So that's why this place got the name of Golden Temple. In the picture you may see the Central Sanctum with Golden color.
