Joy is in the air...its December...Christmas will soon be here...the excited anticipation ofwatching children is joy within itself... I love to watch their faces and wish I could know what is pass-

ing through their minds. I suspect the expressions are pretty close to the thoughts. My friend told me

the other day that her three year old was so excited to know that Christmas was Jesus birthday that

she could not wait to go to school and tell her teacher...now to just remember that is what the joy isall about.

Gee what an interesting year 2010 has been, one filled with many changes, some great, andothers I could have done without, but as I walked through those valleys with my brightly tabbed

Bible leading me immediately to verses of healing and hope, I captured incredible peace. Therefore, I

had a swift recovery from chest surgery to remove a mass from behind my breastbone and one in my

lung. Credit for my swift recovery is also attributed to my prayer warriorsand to my wonderfulnurseJack took such good care of me. In fact, I thought I was ready to go after about 10 daysbut

the nursing police, as I lovingly dubbed my care-giver, reigned me in. He was right...as he always is.

In anticipation of a new year and new beginnings , Im giving life to an old dream that I put

on a shelf a couple years ago. It will take me a while to get all my thoughts back together, but it is

worth the commitment to use my creative energies to accomplish. Do you have a dream that you letgo by the wayside for one reason or another? I encourage you to rekindle the desire. Im believingit can happen. Im going to live LARGE.join me...

May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, The gladness of Christmas give you hope, the warmth

of Christmas grant you love...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

National Tie Month. Celebratethe necktie, especially because 20

percent of all neckties are purchasedin December, presumably as holi-

day gifts. Fashion tip, from proto-col expert Nemo Turner: The

proper length for wearing the every-

day long tie, whether it is for

business or social events, is that itmust go just to the bottom of the

belt, and NEVER above or below

the belt. (www.protocolpower.com)

An apple a day may be true, but

some health lore isntEveryone knows that you shouldnt swim within an

hour after eating, a glass of warm milk helps youfall asleep, and doctors always save the patient righ

before the last commercial. Right?

Maybe, but youre right to be skeptical.Many common beliefs about health dont hold up to

clinical research (and once in a while a TV patientdies). In the winter months, although you do need to

dress warmly, you dont need to worry about theseoften repeated words of advice:

Dont go outside with damp hair. Your head

will get chilly, but chances are you wont catch cold. Colds are caused by viruses (over 200),

and most people contract them by coming into

contact with someone who already has a cold

People may tend to catch cold more readily during the winter because theyre inside more, and

closer to other people who may carry the virusnot simply because the weather is cold.

Feed a cold, starve a fever. Or is it the otherway around? Whatever the saying is, you dont

want to avoid eating when youre sick (even if

you dont feel much like it) because your bodyneeds the nutrients to fight infection. Drinking

plenty of fluids and getting lots of rest are the

most dependable ways to get well quickly.

You lose 75 percent of your body heat

through your head. Youll lose heat through

whatever part of your body is exposed to cold

temperatureshead, hands, arms, legs, etc.

Yes, keep your head covered when outdoors inthe winter, but keep the rest of your body warm

as well.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of grati-

tude to the whole cosmosthe trees, the clouds,

everything. Thich Nhat Hanh

of formal creeds. Let it be remembered as astory that has happened again and again, to men

of many different races, that has been expressedthrough many religions, that has been called by

HUMMMM.Xmas or Christmas?

Food for thought.Contrary to many Christians belief (and mine), the word

Xmas is not sacrilegious or irreverent. The letter X is the first letter

of Christs name in Greek and has often been used as a holy symbol.

Xmas, this abbreviation of Christmas is of Greek origin. TheWord for Christ in Greek is Xristos. The X is the Greek letter Chi

(sounds like ki) which has a k sound. Hence Xristos is pro-nounced Christ in modern English. During the 16th century,Europeans began using the first initial of Christs name, X in place

of the word Christ in Christmas as a shorthand form of the word.

Although the early Christians understood that X stood for Christsname, later Christians who did not understand the Greek language

mistook Xmas as a sign of disrespect...as many do today.

The history of Christmas customs

What are the original means of some of our mostbeloved Christmas customs? Many of these customs

originated in older pagan traditions, rather than in theChristian tradition in which they are celebrated.

The celebration of Christmas on Dec. 25 was not

regulated to that date until the fourth century by PopeSaint Julius I. The Pope, it seems, was trying to round

up a passel of pagan festivities into one date and took the

opportunity to turn them into a Christian celebration.Dec. 25 previously had marked the Roman Saturnalia

(the day when the sun ebbed lowest in the year). Mithra,

the Persian Sun god, had his birthday then, too. AndOdin, a Norse god, also appeared to the world on thatday.

Overeating and drinking are related to the Satur-

nalia. Saturn, an agriculture god, was related to feastingin tahe winter, a practice that in ancient times would

have been important to help people survive the long,

sometimes famine-ridden winters.

Todays Christmas pudding has a long historygoing all the way back to the Celts, who celebrated their

god of the harvest by making a pot of porridge and stir

ring it for him. Later plum pudding was made by addiprunes to the porridge, and that evolved into what we

now know as Christmas pudding. Tradition says that

each member of the family should stir the pot in an easwest manner (as the sun moves across the sky). Flamin

brandy poured onto the pudding is also a symbol of the

suns energy.The first Christmas stocking was derived from

the charity of a kindly Turkish bishop, who slipped a b

of gold into the stocking of a girl in need of a dowry.

And its true that Santa never wore red and whiuntil he was popularized by the Coca-Cola Company

wearing the company colors.

Decorating Christmas trees has its origins in thDark Ages of Germany, the idea being to encourage tre

spirits, who deserted the forests during the winter, to

want to return to the trees to reawaken them again in th

spring. This originally focused on oak trees, but latercame to be associated with fir trees by the Christians,

because they likened the triangle outline of the firs wit

that of the Holy Trinity.- adapted from theNew

Statesman

December History: 1. In Montgomery, Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to give up herseat in the front section of a bus (1955). 7. Martin Van Buren becomes the 8th President of the

United States, and the first president to be born in this country. 7. Thomas Edison exhibited the

phonograph in 1877. 10. Wyoming, a territory of the U.S, allowed women to vote and hold of-

fice (1869). 15. Gone With the Windpremiered in where else, but Atlanta, Georgia (1939). 19Charles Dickens publishesA Christmas Carol(1843). 24. Franz Joseph Gruber composed
