QUOTE OF THE MONTH

It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul. -Caroline Kennedy

JOKE du JOUR
It was time for
traveling across country to be with family for Christmas. The airport had turned a tacky red and green, and loudspeakers blared annoying
elevator renditions of cherished Christmas carols. Being someone who took Christmas very seriously, and being slightly tired, I was not in a particularly good mood. Going to check in my luggage (which, for some reason, had become one suitcase
because of the cost to check luggage), I saw hanging a cheap,
plastic mistletoe. With a considerable degree of irritation and nowhere else to vent it, I said to the attendant, "Even if I were not married, I would not want to kiss you under such a ghastly mockery of mistletoe." "Sir, look more closely at where the mistletoe is."
I said, "Ok, I see that it's above the luggage scale, which is the place you'd have to step forward for a kiss." "That's not why it's there." said the
attendent. There was a pause,
and I asked, "Ok, I give up. Why is it there?". The attendant
said, "It's there so you can kiss your luggage goodbye."

CHRISTMAS LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
HOLLY WREATHS
ARE UNIVERSAL SYMBOLS
Ancient druid and
pagan cultures believed holly had magical properties because it
stayed green all year long, and would often wear sprigs and
berries. Later, when Christianity took hold, holly wreaths
became a popular holiday ornament. It is said that the sharp
leaves and the round shape represent the crown of thorns, and
the red berries represent the blood of Christ. Either way, holly
wreaths have been a holiday tradition longer than there’s been
a Christmas. Merry Christmas
and happy holidays to all!
